Welcome to Playgrounds Digital Arts Festival 2012!
— Every year we are surprised by the huge positive response we receive
after every edition. It gives us the energy to do it again. By the fact that you
are joining us and the more than kind presence of some of the brightest
creative minds in the world, we are sure we will make a great edition once
again.
This year we chose the slogan ‘Cut the Crap’, because we really like a no-
nonsense attitude. It also refers to the political climate in the Netherlands.
A lot is changing. There’s a constant fear of losing money.Great people are
losing their jobs and we are losing our brand as the world’s most tolerant
country. That sucks.
Cut the crap is about making the best out of it. Pick up those pieces, glue
them back together and find some new shapes while you’re at it. Meet
some nice, inspiring people, have a beer, share ideas, listen to good music,
make great stuff and enjoy doing it. Don’t focus on money or crazy politi-
cians, but stay put on your inspirations and enthusiasm.
Cut the crap and make the best out of it.
Location: Nov. 20th – Stadsschouwburg, Amsterdam, Nov. 22/23 – 013, Tilburg.
