Cognitive Dissonance refers to an emotional state caused by the fact that a person has multiple and not necessarily incompatible cognitions – perceptions, thoughts, opinions, attitudes, wishes or intentions. Everyone wants to leave Facebook but nobody does it. No one wants to accept the dominance of Apple in the market, but each uses their products. These and related questions will be highlighted by Robert Sakrowski acting in virtual networks as CuratingYouTube.

Art critic and curator Robert Sakrowski (1966) works with art practices related to Web 2.0. He initiated a number of online and offline projects including netart-datenbank.org (1999), CuratingYouTube.net (since 2007) and gridr.org (since 2012). In 2014 he worked as curator for the Transmediale Festival 2015 „capture all“. Recently Sakrowski has curated the Newman Festival in Lithuania.
