Upgrade! Amsterdam [The Graduates]

Each summer many promising young artists and designers bid their art  
academies farewell, and graduate. The third Upgrade! Amsterdam,  
scheduled September 27th, offers a stage to these new young "hotties"  
to pitch their work to a larger audience, under the scrutinising gaze  
of a panel of experts and art academy tutors.
Most of the installations will be on display during the program.

With customary cocktails, new Upgrade! Amsterdam paraphernalia, and  
pedagogically sound sounds from the good old academy DJ Beatnologic.

| Dragana Antic (Piet Zwart, Rotterdam) I Sounds of Qualia |

Upgrade! Amsterdam is a series of gatherings for and by new media  
aficionados, artists, geeks, media makers and breakers, and the  
generally curious. Point of departure is the premise: “No upgrade  
without a downgrade.”
Upgrade! Amsterdam is organised by Nat Muller & Lucas Evers,  is  
actively hosted by De Melkweg, and kindly supported by VSB Fonds and  
Mondriaan Foundation.

 Upgrade! is an international, emerging network of autonomous nodes  
united by art, technology, and a commitment to bridging cultural  
divides. Since April 1999, a group of new media artists and curators  
have gathered in New York City. The first meeting took place at a bar  
in the east village with Tim Whidden & Mark River [MTAA], Mark Napier  
and Upgrade! founder Yael Kanarek.
