Disruption Network Lab

The aim of the Disruption Network Lab is to present and generate new tactics for social and political action within the framework of digital culture and information technology, and to highlight interventions that provoke political and social change. The Lab takes its shape through a series of international conferences at Studio 1, Kunstquartier Bethanien in Berlin and other locations around the world. The programme is developed through keynote events, presentations and debates. Our past programme has covered topics such as drone warfare, whistleblowing, counter-surveillance, and artistic and activist strategies in times of increased geopolitical control. By connecting and engaging with experts who reveal the inner mechanisms of political, economic and technological systems, we promote a deeper understanding of digital culture in everyday life and society.

The Disruption Network Lab programme is run and curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli (Founder & Director), who works together with her team. The curatorial methodology brings together a montage of practices and fieldwork to create a network based on the analysis of multiple points of view. Our community programme consists of regular local meetups throughout the year, extending and connecting our regular programme and network with social and cultural communities active in both Berlin and abroad, highlighting different ways of possible direct participation and engagement with our topics.

In the coming years, we will consolidate our programme within the digital rights, investigative journalism, whistleblowing, tech-based arts and culture scenes, opening up new contexts of sharing and exchange to fight social and digital injustice.
