Faceless Value is an open and mobile laboratory that is investigating the invisible iconographies of digital exchange. The central question that motivates the research addresses the capacity of digital technologies to signify and communicate economic value and their influence on our understanding of this concept.

20:00 Reception Money-Music Extravaganza
Faceless Value will come to a highpoint with a money-themed party. The results of the workshop will be ready for viewing. Everybody is welcome to participate and experience the fever of the acceleration of the circulation of money. If it’s good for the economy, it’s good for everybody and for the Art too.

All the events are open to everyone, but for the better planning of the workshop, participants are kindly asked (but not required) to register in advance here: http://goo.gl/forms/XvF6Bkz16g

Georgios Papadopoulos is a theorist that combines economics, aesthetics and philosophy with an exploratory artistic practice. His research gravitates around money and he has published three books and many articles on the subject. In 2012 he received the Vilém Flusser Award for Artistic Research from the transmediale festival. Georgios Papadopoulos is in residence at HIAP during October and November 2015 and he is participating in the project Skills of Economy, curated by Jussi Koitela (www.skillsofeconomy.com).

Matthias Tarasiewicz founded the CODED CULTURES initiative (media arts festival and research platform) and is active as curator, researcher and technology theorist since the last millenium. Deeply involved in coding and decoding (both literally and theoretically) he researches in the fields of artistic technologies, experimental documentation and cryptocurrencies.
