time/5.30 pm Italian time
The European Tech Art Scene presented by Jasmina Tešanović and Simona 
Lodi. Special guest Bruce Sterling.

Dear Share Festival friends,

this time we're bringing you news from America's Deep South!

For the first time ever, Piemonte Share will be featuring at the SXSW 
Interactive Festival, through an appearance by Simona Lodi. Sunday, 11th 
March at 12.30 pm Texas local time (5.30 pm in Italy), the artistic 
director of Piemonte Share Festival will be invited as speaker at a 
panel presented by Jasmina Tešanović on the innovative, intangible and 
provocative art scene in Europe, with special guest Bruce Sterling.

The discussion will start with a consideration of the structural 
differences between cultural production in North America and Europe, 
taking a look at emblematic examples of art works, with a special focus 
on the works that to date have won the Share Prize.
The XIX SXSW Interactive Festival will be held in Austin, Texas, from 
9th–18th March.

A key event for the international arts scene, SXSW is the biggest 
cultural festival in North America. Divided into three sections, held on 
consecutive weeks, the festival features a vast programme dedicated to 
interactive art, music and film, offering a perfect location to catch 
bands, premiere screenings and the latest from around the world.

The strength of this mega event over the years has been its ability to 
bring together mainstream productions and the independent scene, 
attracting to Austin for ten days musicians, film directors, artists and 
innovators of the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Willem Dafoe, Ray 
Kurzveil, Bruce Sterling, Tim O'Reilly, Stephen Wolfram and Jaron Lanier.

The week dedicated to interactive art is more than just a festival—it's 
a hotbed for cutting-edge technology, where the most inspired minds in 
new, emerging fields present their websites, games, applications and 
amazing ideas.
