ElectroSmog Live: International Festival for Sustainable Immobility
ElectroSmog is a new festival that revolves around the concept Sustainable Immobility. Between the 18th and 20th of March the festival will introduce and explore this concept in theory and practice. Sustainable Immobility refers to a critique of current systems of hyper mobility of people and products in travel and transport, and their ecological unsustainability. Everybody is welcome to participate directly online.
Bringing together a broad coalition
The ElectroSmog festival brings together a broad coalition of designers, environmentalists, urban and spatial planners, technologists, artists, theorists, and engaged and concerned citizens, to explore and ‘design’ sustainable immobility.
Online
A crucial dimension of the festival will be its on-line presence, where audiences from basically anywhere with an internet connection can follow events on-line, join in discussions and debates, and contribute to the program. ElectroSmog works together in a network of accomplished cultural and new media centres, labs, theatres and other public venues to create the local ‘hubs’ that will inter-connect.

Zero travel
ElectroSmog is a truly international festival, with everything you might expect: international debates and discussions, performances, art projects, exhibits, site specific projects, screenings, a design competition, and more. ElectroSmog stakes its claim for a radical break with the current systems of hyper-mobility not simply by discussing the issue, but by actually implementing it. The festival is CO2 compensated through the
Hivos Climate Fund.
