Governments and powerful industry interest groups are trying more than ever to establish new regulations and tools to control the net. The Internet must stay open and neutral! Make sure your (online-) life or business is not dependant on a single large company or cut down by governments. It is important to keep rethinking net structures and to escape the mainstream social vortex which is incapable to reflecting on itself. Internet art and net subcultures play a very important role in questioning and deconstructing the day to day web defaultism and global, digital industries. We are very pleased to present an exquisite selection of internationally-known artists at SPEED SHOW vol.5 ‘Open Internet’ – Paris. A wide range of brand new art works created especially for ‘Open Internet’  discuss the current impact of Internet pop culture, open source, and minimal amateur and radical options of the Open Internet. A combination of excellent Paris-based, internationally-know artists and restless Open Internet advocates form the perfect base for a promising opening night at the awesome Welat cyber cafe Paris.
