| <nettime> the return of the network commons |
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, some of you have probably already noticed this via fb or rss, I am writing a new book on, working title, "The Rise of the Network Commons". It returns to the topos of the wireless commons on which I worked during the early 2000s. In this new version, combining original research from my German book Freie Netze (2004) and new research conducted in the context of the EU funded project Confine, the exciting world of wireless community network projects such as Guifi.net and Freifunk, gets interspersed with philosophical reflections on the relationship between technology, art, politics and history. In chapters yet to come, I want to treat this topic more internationally, thus interested to learn about projects from all over the world. Currently, I am preparing the next chapter on "social technologies" starting with firmware hack of OpenWrt in 2003 aftre GPL violation. What interest me in particular is the relationship between development of a technology and its usage, follwoing notions such as participatory design and social technologies ... again, grateful for any useful hints, experiences, stories Here is the work in progress http://thenextlayer.org/NetworkCommons Even if a chapter is already written, it does not mean that it has achieved stable form. I am happy to accomodate input on all aspects of the project. Publishing early draft texts is part of my chosen methodology in this case looking foreard to hearing from you best Armin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUU28zAAoJELVKgddlPDStTJcIAIXYRxNJr+py6kAUg4Z6yoD7 FeefGG0b/r6rvz+ama2ID4B/DfxE+jcKdUfpfhXI0B2Oyb+DuV2ewwMa7TCg2eGg uBBuRU8jj25z4tzPCXRzzqqDXOJHxwKBpRjBzept+8LT6E2MUZIoOZONCRcTcUEb 3okPFI6VU7K0zTIeei7LcSwh+q92FiHqvSVhKAQ+iZuECAQ+oRxaJwsPJW1M4Gi4 z6EzMwvgVpHG/VpatohXBnrgMYUUGiVZgR/zT8kTtswRDo8gG6QYWV7ZZkdooA+C uV038ZZ0DDi2H1zS63OrCPwgC0bpEa7NKGVjgrKgduddJjbQM6DFkNKwaSUauOg= =lKpY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
