..:: INTRO ::..

This is a call for YOUR participation into the 2006 day-long event at the RampART hacklab, (http://ramparts.co.nr/) taking place on the 25th of March. We are looking for proposals for nodes of workshops, activities, debates, meetings, etc. in order to create a network of activities and encounters around hacktivism, cyberspace, telecommunications and its technopolitical dimensions.

Growing under the counter-culture movement, hacklabs defend the right to experiment in freedom, to open up new spaces for collective creation and to overcome our individual limitations by the reconstruction and self-management of preexistent social codes and spaces.
