Aram Bartholl and Tobias Leingruber will present The Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.) Lab:

F.A.T. Lab is an organization dedicated to enriching the public domain through the research and development of creative technologies and media. Release early, often and with rap music. This is Notorious R&D. The entire F.A.T. network of artists, engineers, scientists, lawyers, musicians and Bornas are committed to supporting open values and the public domain through the use of emerging open licenses, support for open entrepreneurship and the admonishment of secrecy, copyright monopolies and patents.
F.A.T. Lab is nominated for the Transmediale award 2010.

Aram Bartholl and Tobias Leingruber are both members of the F.A.T. Lab collective and will talk about their own artistic practice, too.

On the same night Tobias Leingruber will present Artzilla.org including the opening of his "Skate The Web" solo show at Betahaus.

Artzilla.org is dedicated to the development of experimental browser software. The platform collects and exhibits creative works, shares code and tutorials, and publishs news from the scene.
Internet artists, street artists and skateboarders are using public architecture in ways, the creators didn’t expect it to be used. Artzilla.org is a collection of browser modifications which challenge our online society by pointing out cultural clashes, remixing existing structures in uncommon ways, and using public online services to create art work. Let’s SKATE THE WEB!
Artzilla was presented at WORM Rotterdam and ROFL-Con New York.
