[hakirulo : mataró hackmeeting'06] Call4Nodes

.:: experiment freedom ::..

..:: INTRO  ::..

This message is a call for participation into the HackMeeting 2006 (taking place the 13th, 14th and 15th of October 2006 in Mataró, Spain) by means of proposing nodes around debate/work/activity/meetings, in order to put together, once again, a network of activities, conferences and encounters around hacktivism, cyberspace, telematics and its tecnopolitical dimensions. During a weekend of freedom we will summon the cyborg of masses that the HackMeeting (HM) is.


We've switched from the traditional call4papers to the call4nodes where participation is not restricted to just papers but to a wider range of media (workshops, conferences, round tables, expositions, posters, etc) that build-up the so-called nodes. As you may already know, the HM is actually a participative event where the breach between organizers and public melts into the necessity for collective self-managinging the encounter. Everybody is free to coordinate, present and collaborate a node in the HM. Thus we are looking forward watching you JOIN OUR NETWORK.

The HackMeeting will bloom in the constant struggle for the liberation of spaces and networks for knowledge circulation, for the recuperation of an eco-logicequilibrium between the biosphere and the technosphere. Recently we seen the approval of the Data Retention Act that menaces privacity on the net and free speech.

Even worse, the copyright european directive has started to be implanted in every member country, with the acceptance of the new LPI (Intellectual Property Law) as one of the disasters more closely affecting us. More over, the Digital Rights Management systems are now a reality so the flux of information is up to the control of international corporation and the copyright lobbies.


Not every new is bad, though: To last years' call for action in favour of free culture and freed technology, more than 15 direct actions have succeded against the lobbies for copyright and the cultural monopolies.

The GPL (General Public License) version 3 will soon be released, and this year will be three the round-the-world HackMeetings that will syncronize emissions towards the recyclement of our liberty (Chicago, Chile and Barcelona).


That is why this HM wants to defend the right for experimenting in freedom and the creation of new tecnopolitical spaces for collective, telematic and social creation, through hacktivism and “reality hacking”: the passion to overcome our individual limitations, (re)construct and auto-manage the social codes and spaces.
