Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Art Agency, and its Constitution :ANNOUNCING YASMIN DISCUSSION

re


So when you talk about relation between society and science in one hand, and the sociery and art in another hand
So you must notice
1- the impact of the social networks on the arab revolutions.

2 - The impact of networked arts in rising up dictatories

Since January 2011, the Arab world is in a very
important period in history that was started by Bouazizi's immolation in
Tunisia. It has been transformed into a cyber-revolution that influenced
connected communities to rise up against dictatorships… There is a remarkable
interaction between genres like Rap music and cyber-art through their digital
roots. EL GENERAL links his connection to the revolution against the
ex-president in Tunisia through his Rap music. Likewise, this artist,
cyberactivists and bloggers has been arrested because of their resistance to Internet
censorship. The reaction of the Tunisian people has been exceptional as they
posted videos on social sharing networks to expose repression and corruption to
the entire world. After the Tunisian revolution, other connected societies such
as Egypt have done the same to pursue their freedom, and others still fight to
overthrow the dictatorial regimes in their countries. In so doing, Arab Artists
are making exceptional post-revolution art based on new expressions based on
this newfound sense of freedom…
