The Influencers Descend on Barcelona
The Influencers opens today at the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona. The three day project and performance based festival brings artists together across multiple disciplines, in the exploration of “unconventional weapons of mass communication.” This years curated contributors include street artists, Blu and Swoon, the robot wars of Survival Research Labs, Julius Von Bismark’s Image Fulgurator, Improv Everywhere, video artist, Wolfgang Staehle, writing collective, Wu Ming and culture-jammers, Ztohoven, who managed to infiltrate a televised Czech weather report in 2007 and broadcast an atomic bomb explosion.
TAC applauds this free and non-commercial event, whose sole purpose is to support “visionary projects aimed at the exploitation and distorsion of mass communication, global pop culture, technological propaganda and ideological fetishism.”
