>POLIMEDIA LAB
>
>As an intervention into the reorganisation of power, communication and
>information, we propose a media and communication laboratory during the
>World Summit on the Information Society as part of the
>http://www.geneva03.org
>Geneva03 initiatives and as a counter-event to the WSIS.
>Based on the experiences of the Hub in Florence in November 2002, and
>organised in close cooperation with the proposed media lab for the next
>European Social Forum in Paris, Polymedia Lab will be a temporary space
>of experimentation and confrontation for alternative and grassroots
>communication projects.
>It will serve as a platform to develop and experiment with horizontal
>communication, to share experiences and knowledge, to create networks of
>alternative communication projects,and present an alternative vision of
>information society.
>
>What would we envision? What could take place at Polymedia Lab?
>- Indymedia Centre with public access terminals
>- pirate TV and pirate radio
>- video and radio streams (global, multidirectional, and in interaction
>with streams being produced elsewhere)
>- presentations on issues around the information society : media
>concentration, intellectual property rights, infowar, ISP and media
>laws, etc.
>- skill sharing workshops on technological aspects of communication:
>Linux, pgp, WiFi, satellite transmission, hacking, streaming, etc.
>- permanent workshops on non-technical aspects of communication :
>horizontal, non-hierarchical ways of communicating- network meetings of
>groups and individuals involved with free TV, free radio, Indymedia,
>video, etc. to develop and facilitate cooperation
>
>The Polimedia Lab aims to counteract the summit agenda, and show the
>value of information and communication systems based on freedom,
horizontality
>and cooperation..
>
>organize yourself! Post your Proposals and join the mailing list.
>
>Please don't forget to include in the form:
>What equipment are you bringing?
>What else do you need as technical equipment?
