SERVER \\ Going Away.tv
SERVER is a continuous, 7-hour, artist-led festival film channel creating space for critical reflection, speculative storytelling and interdisciplinary exchange.
SERVER’s talks programme will be made available online very soon. Sign up to our newsletter for updates.
Made in collaboration with Going Away.tv and bringing together artists, researchers, writers and theorists from across art, architecture, media studies and speculative design, the 7 hour programme combines artist talks, keynote presentations, in-conversations, solo lectures, gameplay walkthroughs and curated screenings within a single, durational programme.
Contributors expand on festival themes including digital infrastructure, energy systems, urban transformation, and geological time, connecting local histories and contemporary conditions in South Yorkshire to wider global questions of technology, ecology, labour and collective futures.
The programme will feature a world premiere of Hapi Tomorrow by Thomas Collet and ZULI.
Set within locations in a 3D rendered Barnsley created by Going Away.tv, the programme unfolds through experimental presentations of educational and entertainment content, referencing public access television, pirate radio and more contemporary forms of information dissemination such Twitch streams and TikTok Shop.
