iii member and founding chairman of iii Matteo Marangoni will be giving a presentation titled ‘Planned Obsolescence in Leadership: Intergenerational and Intercultural Transfer of Power in the Dutch Media Arts’. This presentation will focus on how iii (instrument inventors initiative) was founded in The Hague in response to the crisis in the Dutch Media Art sector in the years preceding 2013, the lessons that were learned from that crisis and how that informed governance, power sharing and intergenerational transfer of responsibility within iii. The presentation will include a screening of the short documentary Ten Years of iii: Experiment, Ambition, Community. This will take place from 10:00 – 12:30 as part of the ‘Care and Legacy’ talks and discussion.
