Call for entries: ElectroSmog Festival-> Resisting Mobility
ElectroSmog is a new festival that explores the concept ‘Sustainable Immobility’ in theory and practice. Sustainable Immobility is first of all a critique of the growing global crisis of mobility. Current forms of hyper-mobility of people and products in travel and transport are ecologically increasingly unsustainable. The will to slow down, however, seems thoroughly absent. The economic crisis may have temporarily slowed matters down, long term projections still point towards exponential growth of worldwide mobility and exploding energy needs. Alternatives for the current state of hyper-mobility need to be designed urgently.
The exploration of Sustainable Immobility is a quest for a lifestyle less determined by speed and constant mobility. A lifestyle that celebrates stronger links to local cultures, while at the same time deepening our connections to others across any geographical divide by means of new communication technologies, instead of physical travel. More about the festival and how to enter work.

Workers playing the factory
Deron writes: On the outsider performance art front: I just found out about this Christmas tradition that happens every year not too far from my parents'. Pretty much every christmas eve since 1925, a wirecloth factory has allowed their steam whistle to be used for an elaborate performance of Christmas carols. The boiler is stoked and people inside the factory pull levers to change the pitch of the whistle. The whole thing is absurd and amazing and creepy all at the same time.
