It's our pleasure to announce the 3rd Upgrade! International meeting "Chain
Reaction" that will take place in Skopje, Macedonia from September 11th to
14th, 2008. Growing from the Upgrade! International community, this event
takes the form of a city-wide digital art and networked culture festival
including exhibitions, screenings, live local and streamed performances and
a program of critical and active lectures and workshops exploring numerous
facets in the field of digital art.
Chain Reaction brings together artists, curators and art producers from more
than 20 cities worldwide (Asia, Canada, Europe, North America, South
America, South Africa, New Zealand)

The artistic program shows current tendencies in the use of hardware and
software development for artistic means. The artists presented here are the
emergent creative force on the international new media art scene. Some of
the works have been part of other exhibitions and festivals, and others have
been created exclusively for this event. One of the dominant principles that
have emerged in this collection of works is the blurring of the boundaries
between art, cultures, technology and physical surroundings. This blurring
is not about fading out; it is about illuminating and distributing new kinds
of practices. It is about multiple modes of participating, navigating and
deconstructing.


Chain Reaction explores issues of cultural development and growth in the
local region as well as within digital networks. Exhibiting works and
presentations from over 20 cities across the world, the organizers expect
this event to be a catalyst for dialog, future collaborations and new
cultural understanding.

he meeting theme "Chain Reaction" illustrates the network itself, the way it
works and functions, correlates and interacts. The Upgrade!International
started as a creative spark that gradually grew into an international group
of nodes influencing each other continually through permanent communication.
The meeting gathers Upgrade! nodes into one core event in Macedonia and will
hopefully cause a positive chain reaction. Upgrade! network gathers annually
or bi-annually, each time in a different city for a festival by artists who
participated in the Upgrade! meetings around the world.

Upgrade! Lisbon will contribute to the event with Neurozappingfolks by
Lisbon-based, Colombian artist Santiago Ortiz, TODAY by Portuguese
Collective CADA and also a selection of videos by Portuguese artist
Francisco Queirós.
