Media Art and Red Machine Weekend Ahead: Alternative Party & Cartes Flux at Cable Factory
This weekend the Cable Factory hosts several media art and technology events, with concurrent programmes over 20th-23rd October in Ruoholahti, Helsinki, including Alternative Party, Heidi Tikka's Mother Child installation and Cartes Flux Festival.
The Digital culture festival and Demoparty Alternative Party 2011 attracts coders, musicians, designers, hackers, and other digital enthusiasts, starting from Friday 21.10. from 18.00 - Sunday 23.10. until 16.00. In Alternative Party, you can enjoy digital culture in various forms, catch a glimpse of the technology of the future, and experience nostalgic trips with vintage hardware. This year's theme is Red Machines which refers to communism, Soviet Union and strange technology of the East. It will undoubtedly be a great event! Be quick to get a ticket as the era of capitalists has already began, and inflation on ticket prices is rocketing!: http://www.altparty.org/2011/
