Has the Internet Age delivered on the promise of egalitarian “netizenship,” or has it simply replaced old social constraints with new ones of a more pernicious, pervasive sort?

Half of a library’s operating budget could be generated by the creative output of the people who use that library. Writers, composers, filmmakers, choreographers, artists, inventors, and other creative types could all get their start working on collaborative projects for their own neighborhood library. Established creative talent could donate some of their works to add value to anthologies and other group projects.

this Apple II is only a model for the photoshoot. I don’t see the big removable lid on top and there is no power-light-key and the colored logo is not the final design.

The drawings Antonio Sant’Elia included in his August 1914 Futurist Manifesto of Architecture are, perhaps, the most famous and influential of the early 20th century, predating many of the avant-garde designs of architects in Germany, France, Holland, and Russia, made a few years later. They are certainly the first by a European architect to project a vertical city, one composed not only of towers, but also of stacked layers of streets, plazas, and the mechanical movement of cars, trams, and trains. Because he died so young, at the age of twenty-eight, killed in a war that he and the other Futurists celebrated as “the sole hygiene of mankind,” he was never able to carry these ideas beyond the few early perspective views, made in 1913 and 1914. Still, they resonate today, even as they seem part of an earlier, more architecturally innocent time.

Sonic Warfare sends a shudder through the hidden underbelly of sound. With uncanny brilliance, Steve Goodman writes through the depths of sub-bass to bring together noise weapons, pirate radio, and the philosophy and politics of rhythm in a vivid new evocation of the power of sound.” –Matthew Fuller, David Gee Reader in Digital Media, Goldsmiths, University of London, author of Media Ecologies

Toni Negri discusses the significance of urban space for new forms of opposition. The city, he says, is where the “political diagonal” intersects the “biopolitical diagram” – where people’s relation to power is most pronounced. Negri’s interlocutors are involved in exploring “soft” forms of activism, urban projects that create collectivities on micro, neighbourhood levels. Negri is critical of “soft” forms, however, preferring rupture and revolution over accumulation and gradual change.

What are the challenges facing the protection of traditional knowledge internationally? Can the protection of such rights, which have traditionally existed outside the boundaries of intellectual property, be achieved in the face of current challenges to protection epitomized by such emerging international movements as enhanced access to information and culture as a human right? This article examines some of the emerging issues in this hotly contested area and suggests that such movements are not actually adverse to intellectual property or traditional knowledge rights and should be used to craft a new method for addressing the issue of traditional knowledge protection internationally.

So, just like the peer-to-peer technology or the grid computing principles, the idea became this: a text could be sectioned into small pieces, users would take some of them to translate them in their spare time, and the interesting document will be quickly and correctly translated. Everyone wins in this situation.

“Web 2.0 is about the integration of the real and the virtual. They are no longer opposites. The goal is a synergy of the real existing social life with the annotated environment. This is done to abstract value from one’s intimate environment and personal relationships. It is not proven that it generates new social forms. We could also say that it initiates new social contexts in real life situations. The third body, consisting of a data cloud that surrounds us, is becoming real. However, unlike the cyber-prophets predicted it is not a virtual reality out there that we step into. The movement has gone in the opposite direction and collapsed into ever-smaller devices.

economics is not a complete science and is unable to give us real information about the economy? The Roman pontiffs have long insisted that something was missing. They have insisted on the role of distributive justice in economics. Beginning in 1891, with Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, they have insisted on the just wage as the basis of economic science, a position that has been repeated by every pope since Leo. The economists, on the other hand, have always found this problematic.

The process of miniaturization and the generation of miniatures, which are integral facets of the digital, yield affective responses. [...][...] These effects are characteristic of the way that the human body determines to a large extent what constitutes a technique of miniaturization and the dimension of a miniature. The sensations of intimacy, possession or control are also evoked by both the practice of miniaturization and the fashioning of miniatures that mark the rise of the printing press, photography and television. Although new media provide distinct forms of miniaturization and miniatures, this progression toward diminution is rooted in earlier technologies. Various key aspects of new media are outlined: the miniaturization of information and space as well as the generation of virtual miniatures, of which Google Earth serves as a case study.

What is Wish Café?
It’s a device for the collective construction of a map of human desire.
The starting point of this social experiment is the realization that all of us live in a network, that the set of our links defines our place in the world, and that technology provides us with an ever-increasing number of ways to represent that situation.
Wish Café is, in some way, an anti-net, because it is a network of holes. It intends to make visible, not what we have, but what we are lacking. In other words, to what extent are we still out-of-place in the place we occupy, in which ways are we foreigners at our own home. -
The intellectual work on ‘network culture’ is also an act of violence on framing devices that came prior to it; it deletes as much as it creates, prunes as much as it flowers. Accordingly, we need to broaden and historicise the debate beyond the current tenor of ‘social media’, ‘participatory culture’ and ‘copyright wars’ (Lessig, 2008). Thankfully, the doxa is supple enough in most places to allow for the common to grow muddy, strange flowers to grow and animals to grow fat. Remix culture appeals to us because it is precisely just a moment too late for its discussion, the wave has moved on and the Rhetoric Safari conceives of culture in ways that overarch the remix. Rather than argue for the urgency of this issue of Fibreculture Journal, the editors wish to pause, rewind and record over the apparently urgent question of what is remix and ask instead ‘What Now?’

É uma estupidez. É pior do que estupidez… É uma campanha de marketing… Esta opinião sobre ascensão da Cloud Computing foi proferida esta semana pelo ativista político do software livre Richard Stallman e tem gerado polêmica.
Cloud Computing (computação em nuvem) é uma arquitetura de computação cada vez mais utilizada e que consiste na virtualização de aplicativos, processamento e armazenamento de dados. Exemplos de Cloud Computing mais famosos são os aplicativos do Google como Google Docs, Gmail ou o Adobe Photoshop Express, eles permitem que computadores menos potentes possam ter acesso a recursos poderosos em servidores na Web muitas vezes de forma gratuita.
O que os críticos da Cloud Computing alegam é que os serviços disponibilizados mais perigosos do que os do software proprietário tradicional, pois além do usuário não ter acesso ao código do software (como sempre aconteceu com o Windows), a própria produção usuário fica arquivada no computadores do proprietário do software (como acontece no Google). A inacessibilidade do código prejudica a inovação e oculta uso que empresas como o Google fazem de milhões de informações recolhidas em sua “nuvem”, o que gera suspeitas de estratégias de monopólio, controle e dominação.
A discussão entre prós e contras da fala de Stallman é polêmica, no Maestros del Web por exemplo, um fórum de desenvolvedores latino americanos, os defensores da Cloud Computing defendiam a praticidade e conforto de poder acessar dados de qualquer lugar e de usar recursos poderosos de computação de maneira gratuita, Leia o texto completo »

Já abordamos rapidamente em posts anteriores questões ligadas ao capitalismo cognitivo. Complementando esta discussão segue abaixo uma pequena lista de links com textos que analisam a colaboração e a participação nas mídias sociais e como elas são exploradas pelos grupos econômicos:
O primeiro é um tipo de manifesto anti-Myspace / Facebook (caberia o mesmo em relação ao Orkut). Este manifesto, é uma crítica contundente as corporações que comandam estas redes sociais. Segundo esta visão, estes grupos econômicos aprisionam os indivíduos, causam dependência e principalmente exploram seus participantes e seus laços sociais. Como resposta para escapar destas armadilhas, sugere que todos encerrem suas contas pessoais nestes serviços, e adotem soluções inspiradas no software livre ou código aberto como o Franklin Street Statement que é uma alternativa às praticas de cloud computing ou Identi.ca que é uma alternativa ao Twitter.
O manifesto esta em :
