SUMMARY:les aperos du jeudi  « COLLISION DE REVES »
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1054995/ ] Collision de rêves...
      Le Jeudi 25 Septembre 2008 à partir de 19H à 2H nous vous donnons rendez-vous dans la galerie d'art de Galerie Deborah Zafman "le laboratoire des suppositions" (3-5 Passage des Gravilliers 75003 Paris). pour une COLLISION DE REVES.
      Vous allez donner libre cours à vos fantaisies les plus intimes\, extravagantes et envoutantes. Deux mots d’ordre : l’imagination et l’audace. Lors de cette SOIRÉE insensée vous pourrez ...pour la cause de l’art ... pour faire avancer l'imagination collective...POUR VOUS RÉALISER....proposer d'autres modèles de vie...être vous mêmes pleinement ou carrément un autre. Une chose est sure ....nous essayerons de faire décoller collectivement les rêves les plus fous...
      LA DREAM FACTORY
      En pénétrant dans la « DREAM FACTORY»\, des anges vous acceuillerons  et vous guiderons pour réaliser vos rêves.
      Aux frontières entre la réalité et la folie\, l'art contemporain et le conformisme\, l'ennui et l'envie\, la connerie et la folie...cette galerie d'art se transformera l'espace d'une nuit en DREAM FACTORY.
      LES WISH DOCTORS
      5 artistes exposeront une oeuvre artistique en cours de réalisation représentant chacune une utopie : reynald driez\, anne flore cabanis\, VLP\, et cyril skinazy et d'autres...
      Ils seront vos WISH DOCTORS et vous pourrez participer collectivement a l'avancée de ces utopies dans l'ere du temps en échangeant avec les artistes\, en apportant votre touche personnelle...
      Un mur sera laissé blanc pour ceux qui veulent exprimer leur utopie sans l'intermédiaire d'un WISH DOCTOR.
      Cette rencontre entre les utopies des invitées et celles des artistes aura lieu au son de something a la mode\, un couple de musicien qui donne envie de croire que tout est possible.
      ET VOUS ....DANS TOUS VOS ETATS
      Le soir de l'évènement chacun communiquera aux autre son utopie en venant habillé d'une façon singulière\, en apportant un objet représentatif\, une idée visuelle ou écrite\, ou en ayant préparé une phrase...
      Que vous veniez en frac\, en peaux de bêtes\, en dessous affriolants\, enduit de peinture\, en haillons\, en pyjama\, en robe de chambre de tussor de soie\, en robe de mariée ou de cote de maille\, en guerrier papou ou en boxeur népalais tous les délires vestimentaires sont tolérés.
      La « Dream Factory » c’est l’occasion unique de devenir soi-même une œuvre d’art... Comme disait Oscar Wilde "il faut être soi-même une oeuvre d'art ou en porter une".
      POUR PARTICIPER
      Pour participer à cette « Collision de rêves » nous vous demandons tout d'abord d'aller sur www.courtscircuits.fr et d'y déposer vos utopies et commenter celles des autres. Le cercle d'innovation courts circuits les compilera dans un document et les présentera en début de soirée.
      ET LA COLLISION ?
      Chacun pourra partager son utopie personnelle avec les autres invités ...s'entre choquer...s'entre croiser....mettre de l'eau dans les moulins\, construire des usines a gaz naturel...se transformer en arc en ciel...rêver avec les autres ou tout simplement repartir avec un rêve....
      Toute la soirée des photographes immortaliseront en plein vol vos utopies\, vos identités extraordinaires ...en privilégiant ...les mélanges\, les rencontres\, les décollages d'utopies... Nous vous encourageons d'ailleurs a être prit en photo devant les mondes picturaux des artistes ou dans l'endroit qui vous plait le plus...en sautant en l'air....
      La soirée se prolongera au delà de 23h avec le mythique DJ "sound collector" Serge Kruger....pour plus de collisions...
      UNE FANTASMAGORIE REELLE DE DEBORAH ZAFMAN\, JEREMY DUMONT ET CYRIL SKINAZY....et de leurs amis comme anne caroline paucot ou roger nifle par exemple...
      UNE CO-PRODUCTION ZEROTV-LES APEROS DU JEUDI-GALERIE DEBORAH ZAFMAN.

SUMMARY:SciCom08
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1011980/ ] Die internationale Fachtagung „SciCom08" fragt nach der Notwendigkeit\, den Grenzen und Perspektiven der Wissenschaftskommunikation: Wer darf wann\, was\, mit welchem Ziel kommunizieren?
      Vom 20. bis 22. November 2008 bietet SciCom08 ein Forum für WissenschafterInnen und MedienvertreterInnen\, die brisanten Fragen rund um das Thema Wissenschaftstransfer zu veranschaulichen und zu diskutieren. 
      Auf der einen Seite unterliegen WissenschafterInnen innerhalb der scientific community immer höheren Kommunikationsanforderungen (Publikationsdruck\, internationale und interdisziplinäre Vernetzung etc.). Auf der anderen Seite wird der Druck immer größer\, auch gesellschaftliche Öffentlichkeiten zu bedienen. Hinzu kommt die Herausforderung spezifischer Logiken unterschiedlicher Wissenschaften und Öffentlichkeiten.
      Vor diesem Hintergrund stellen sich eine Reihe von Fragen\, die im Rahmen der SciCom08 in neun einander ergänzenden Themenclustern behandelt werden:
      Haben Öffentlichkeiten ein Recht darauf\, über wissenschaftliche Forschung informiert zu werden?
      Darf Wissenschaft vermarktet werden oder verliert sie damit an Authentizität?
      Wie verändert Wissenschaftskommunikation die Wissenschaftspraxis?
      Welche WissenschafterInnen bzw. welche Wissenschaften verfügen über welche Ressourcen\, um überhaupt Öffentlichkeiten zu bedienen?
      Wie unterscheiden sich Natur- und Technikwissenschaften und Sozial-\, Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften hinsichtlich ihrer wissenschaftskommunikativen Potenziale und Kulturen?
      Welche Erkenntnisse und Methoden welcher wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen werden von Medien womöglich stärker wahrgenommen?
      Muss bzw. wem muss der/die WissenschafterIn Rechnung für die eigene Forschungsarbeit ablegen?
      Wie kritisch sollte die Gesellschaft mit veröffentlichten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen umgehen?
      Verlieren populäre WissenschafterInnen ihre Glaubwürdigkeit? Wenn ja\, vor wem?
      Wie können die Neuen Medien für die Wissenschaftskommunikation genutzt werden?
      Welche Formate des „public understanding of science" sind adäquate Kommunikationsmaßnahmen?
      Die SciCom08 wendet sich ForscherInnen aller wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen\, WissenschaftskommunikatorInnen bzw. PR-Beauftragte der Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen\, VertreterInnen von Medien und Bildungseinrichtungen (Erwachsenenbildung\, Museen\, Schulen\, etc.)\, Studierende aller Studienrichtungen sowie all jene Personen\, die sich in den vielen Bereichen zwischen Forschung\, Medien\, Bildungs- und Kulturarbeit bewegen.
      Die Präsentationsformate der Tagung werden den verschiedenen Formen von Wissenschaftskommunikation Rechnung tragen. Neben Vorträgen werden vor allem "alternative"\, interaktive Kommunikations- und Vermittlungspraktiken in den Panels Raum erhalten. 
      Insbesondere verschiedene konkrete Praktiken und Formate von Wissenschaftskommunikation werden voraussichtlich im Rahmen eines Open Space vorgestellt werden.
