Talk with Dríade Aguiar - Midia NINJA / Fora do Eixo – Mediactivist, Brazil and Marissa Lôbo (maiz, Linz)

English, German

Mídia Ninja has its origins in the Fora do Eixo, a network of culture, behavior and communication, linking collectives that also organized music festivals and other cultural events. This large movement, which started in the cities of Rio Branco, Cuiabá and Londrina in 2005, Brazil, has spread to more than 200 areas and encompasses an alternative university, political party and financial system.

STATEMENT: Brazil’s Mídia Ninja and the Rise of Citizen Journalism. One of the most interesting elements of Brazil’s protests, which continue to simmer across the country in smaller numbers, is the use of new media to plan, broadcast, and report on the demonstrations. Mídia Ninja is perhaps the best known group to emerge, and has used social media and webcasting as tools to cover the protests.

On July 22, 2013 during a Rio protest on day one of the Pope’s visit to Brazil, two Mídia Ninja reporters were arrested (and subsequently released) after police claimed they were trying to "incite violence" by broadcasting the event. A total of seven people were arrested, and one of the protesters was initially denied bail. Nevertheless, the backlash against the arrests exploded on social media, and while the full repercussions have yet to be seen, there are echoes of police brutality and arrests of journalists at Occupy Wall Street. And if the original São Paulo protests proved anything, it’s that police violence against journalists will fuel the protests even more.

We spoke to Felipe Altenfelder, one of the Mídia Ninja editors, about the "ninjas" and the future of citizen journalism in Brazil. Mídia Ninja is now present in 200 cities across Brazil, in places Fora do Eixo previously established networks. "The ninja is defined by working collectively," Altenfelder explained. "It’s not anonymous; it’s a collective identity." During the protests, the ninjas broadcast the demonstrations on livestream channels on Twitcasting and on the group’s channel, PosTV. They also posted live updates and photos on Twitter and Facebook, as well as Tumblr, Google Plus, Instagram, and Flickr. In some cases, ninjas use iPhones or bare bones equipment; in others, they push around a shopping cart complete with a generator, speakers, a computer, cameras, a microphone, and an editing table. "We want to democratize information," ninja Filipe Peçanha told O Dia. "The purpose is to show what conventional TV networks don’t show."

The concept of livestreaming came about in 2011 when Fora do Eixo created PosTV to originally broadcast concerts. Later, it was used to broadcast the Freedom March, which took place after São Paulo’s so-called Marijuana March experienced a crackdown by police. In 2012, PosTV did a month-long, daily broadcast before São Paulo’s local elections. Altenfelder explained that digital communication methods used by Mídia Ninja not only help create new protagonists, but are a tool to support and promote "direct, participatory democracy."

But where does Mídia Ninja fit in within the world of journalism? The group never tried to be a part of that world, Altenfelder explained. Still, he noted, "journalism is alive and well," and people are hungry for information. Mídia Ninja represents an "alternate model led by a new generation of independent, autonomous, empowered communicators who no longer trust the news that’s for sale." The way Mídia Ninja covers the news, Altenfelder believes, will influence mass media in the long term. The group, Altenfelder claims, "is a global embassy in this new world of possibilities."

26.06. 2014, Thursday Semester ending 1.00 p.m. - 9.00 p.m. Venue | Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Wien, M13a, und Secession, Friedrichstraße 12, 1010 Wien A conference in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Secession (held in English). www.akbild.ac.at

Art as Exhibition

The conference seeks to investigate how exhibition formats may be inherent in specific modes of artistic production and subsequently in an artwork itself. Significantly an interweaving of both artistic and curatorial practice is involved, which on the one hand documents a development toward formats of presentation, and on the other hand coincides with the rediscovery of the object as an independent agent. The interlocking of exhibition, mediation, collection and archive conflates aesthetic and education policy agendas in occasionally indistinguishable ways. Thus it becomes clear that those fields of education, knowledge and information regarded as "common goods" introduce a dynamic into the work-as-exhibition event in the sense of a medial information process. To explore what this implies for the perception of the increasingly reevaluated physical object will be one of the common threads of the panel and the subsequent artist talks at the Secession.
