Foam Lab: Flickr Op
26 August 2011
7.30 pm – 1.00 am
Admission: € 5,00
(For the preparation of Foam Lab’s event Flickr Op, the museum will be closed between 6pm and 7:30pm on Friday the 26th of August)
Why do we spend hours on social media each day and not in the museum? Go look for the answer at Flickr Op in Foam. For their second event Foam Lab will turn the museum into a social network, mediator and playground with installations, workshops and much more.
If you love photography and social media, you can enter the portal and become an Anton Corbijn-Rockstar, experience the live Foam Farmville and create your own social media badge. Show what you ‘like’, twitter with the tweetbirds and meet famous internet celebrities like the Nyan Cat. Have a look at the best pictures of Foam Lab’s Flickr contest, make friends and drink a Social Cocktail with your Mutual Friends. If you’re looking to find out why we’re all addicted to social media, join the debate with Happy Chaos and Willem Popelier.
Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Youtube take up a lot of time. They’re part of us when we get up and stay with us until we go to sleep again. In a world filled with pop-ups and banners we keep an eye on our friends, peek into the lives of others and worry about our profile pictures. A museum on the other hand radiates calm and peace with its big white spaces. We walk around silently and hardly talk to anyone, or not? With Flickr Op, Foam Lab drags the social networks into the museum and goes to find the ideal combination of the life online and the physical museum. For one night, Foam is your social network.
