Love Out Loud

Das Internet schafft Raum für Information, Meinung, Diskussion und Streit. Bei Hass hört der Spaß aber auf. Weil der aber mehr wird, wehrt sich die Netzgemeinschaft. Mit Ideen, Ausdauer, dickem Fell. Und leider oft mit zu knappen Ressourcen und recht allein auf weiter Flur. Das wollen wir ändern. Wir wollen ein Netzwerk bauen für Gegenrede, positive digitale Meinungskultur und gegen den Hass im Netz. Das soll Unterstützung, Vernetzung und Sichtbarkeit schaffen, neue Mitstreiter begeistern und Industrie und Politik fordern. Im Lightning Talk gibts erste Einblicke und Diskussion.

“Auf der Schattenseite” is a VR experience created for International Justice Mission, a NGO that frees modern slaves worldwide, providing follow-up care and empowering local policemen and lawyers. In a reconstructed brothel we are sending the visitors virtually to India to be confronted with a young girl in forced prostitution.

Clemantine Wamarya and Mugethi Githau are honoring this year´s theme "Loving out Loud" by defining what love might be in respect for oneself, for community, for country and for the world; discussing the importance of being aware of what is in our way of loving outloud as opposed to hating in silence, rooted in their personal lived experience.

In this talk, Miriam Aced and Christina Lee will describe their website MigrationVoter.com: a project aimed at exploring the impact of migration on elections (and vice versa.) Following the Brexit referendum and US election, immigration has emerged as one of the key issues that influence voters. So-called “fake news” and populist candidates both take advantage of a lack of knowledge around migration to influence elections. Can accurate information and analysis provide an antidote?

What are the benefits of using new technologies in our activism? How can virtual reality be used in campaigning and to which effect? Which techniques are more effective than others in advocating social causes? The presentation aims to answer those and similar questions, and to provide insights into the methodology of the work behind the organization Animal Equality.

Cinema is voyeuristic in essence. Only when we watch movies it is ok to stare at a face, study all the details of a body and want to see all the details of lovemaking. In virtual reality, this goes a step further as your audience is put inside the action. This talk explores the reasons why we crave watching other people’s most intimate moments and how this can be translated into the immersive world of virtual reality using the erotic VR experience “Viens!” as an example.

How do we speed up the machine that makes our dreams come true? Much has been written about the power of focusing our enormous energy to affect a specific outcome. I have experienced this repeatedly in my life. And believe it's available to all of us. Join me as I share how I painted my wife, children and successful art career into existence. And take action to make YOUR desires real.

„Representation matters!“ – für queere Webserien-Projekte von funk war das von Anfang an klar – in der Story, auf dem Screen und am Set. In unserem Panel teilen wir Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse aus unserer Arbeit. Von der Konzeption der Storys, über das Casting bis zum Dreh. Über unerwartete Hürden, Verzweiflung und Hoffnung.

We gather to Love out Loud during the next 3 days, also for those Journalists and Community Leaders connected to our cause, who are or have been silenced.
