Opens Today in Barcelona – The Influencers 2010: Art, Guerrilla Communication, Radical Entertainment

James David Morgan wrote this post at 12:17 pm on February 4th, 2010.

The Influencers, a three day think-tank on art, guerrilla communication, and radical entertainment, convenes today in Barcelona.  The event brings together the Yes Men, Critical Art Ensemble, Black Label Bike Club, and several others strategically imagining our post-capitalist future, whose “dangerous and risky narratives,” as described by the organizers, “force [the] physical, aesthetical (sic.), legal, and political boundaries of our society, and challenge [our] collective imagination to desire the unthinkable.”

For more on the participating artists, see the Influencers’ program of activities.  The festival’s archive is not to be missed.
