Title and Abstract of the talk:
"Hackmeeting and Hacklabs: technopolitics and reality hacking in
south-european autonomous networks"
For the last 6 years a number of autonomous collectives called
HackLabs (hacker or hacktivist laboratories) have been created at
different squat social centers and other self-managed spaces around
europe. The network of hacklabs has now more than 40 nodes (most of
them located in Spain and Italy) dedicated to build-up community
based free-software and open access spaces for skill sharing and
collective intelligence, technopolitic experimentation and direct
action on several digital struggles (cybercontrol, digital rights,
intelectual property, etc.). HackLabs were born as a result of
Hackmeetings: underground self-organized hacktivist meetings where
grassroot activist and geek culture meet to discuss, exchange and
coordinate different knowledge, resources and initiatives around
technologies and politics. The talk will focus on a set of
trajectories within the hacklabs and hackmeeting networks: the
experience of Metabolik (one of the first hacklabs in europe), the
distributed and self-managed organization of spanish and european
hackmeetings and the recent direct action campaing against
intellectual property (CompartirEsBueno.Net). Emphasys will be made
on philosophical background, discussion on technopolitical tactics
and opportunities for coordination.
