Il Trasloco (Moving Out of the Future) is an independent documentary from 1991, which tells the story of the Italian Autonomia movement of the 1970s. Set entirely in the flat that used to be the unofficial headquarters of the movement, and narrated by Franco “Bifo” Berardi, the film is a deeply personal account of the lives of those involved.
The translation and subtitling of this film is by Federico Campagna (Through Europe) and Richard John Jones (Auto Italia South East). Federico Campagna and Richard John Jones will be introducing the film.

a project on Autonomia, Abstract Machines, Voices & the Production of Subjectivity!

Is an evolving, interactive sound installation by students of the IDUM (Interaction Desgin Unstable Media) department of the DOGtime course at the Rietveld Academie Amsterdam, and Willem van Weelden (mentor and tutor of that department). It is an experimental piece done to probe in a given interactive/curatorial environment the use of sounds as a dramaturgy to deliver an exposé with five ‘testaments/legacies’ that are related to the theme of the ‘La Radio Siamo Noi’ project organised by the HEAD and Laptop Radio (Laurent Schmid, et all). As LRSN points to the Autonomia movement and the use of radio as a media tactical weapon of alternative subjectivation, the project has set itself the task to investigate and work on five legacies that connect to this (media tactical) history : the testament of literature in casu that of Kafka (as a machinic literature), the testament of the Autonomia movement in Italy (by focussing on the trial of many of their members held in the early eighties), the testament of computopian ideas to use new technologies to create a new participatory literature (Ted Nelson), the testament of a new arising media condition set forth by Fritz Lang with his movie ‘Das Testament of Dr Mabuse’, and the testament of Felix Guattari’s ideas on post-media, desiring machines and minoritarian media. In the dramaturgy of these investigations six virtual presonae have been staged as ‘vehicles’ to connect to these ‘testaments’ : Kaspar Hauser, Dora Diamant, Max Weber, Gershem Scholem, Titorelli, and Dr Mabuse. These six ‘voices’ lead the visitor/participant into a trial in which he or she is, how Kafkaesque!, the accused party! Once inside the room there is no clear distinction between inside or outside; yet, little time is available to speak out!
