[ox] [ionnek gmx.net: [newsgroup] dsec - free movement/free communication]



Hallo,

Fährt jemand auf das Grenzcamp nach Strassburg? Wäre schön, wenn dort
jemand ein paar Hintergründe aus [ox] einbringen könnte, da die "uns"
scheinbar bisher nicht wahrgenommen haben. Was das miteinander zu tun
hat, wird ganz gut in der Einladung unten angeschnitten.

Grüße, Benni

Hallo, newsgroup

Vielleicht hat derdie ein- oder andere schon vom Projekt dsec 
[www.dsec.info] gehört - es handelt sich dabei um einen Strang über den 
Zusammenhang von "free movement" und "free communication" vor dem 
Hintergrund einer IT-unterstützten Kontrollgesellschaft während des 
Strasburger Grenzcamps.
Nachdem das Schengen Informationssystem als Symbol und Werkzeug dieser 
Kontrollform quasi vor der Haustür des Grenzcamps liegt, haben wir 
(zusätzlich zu den antiras etc) soviele geeks eingeladen, wie uns 
eingefallen sind. dsec ist ein Experiment - der Versuch, eine Interaktion 
zwischen den doch oft recht unterschiedlichen Szenen zu ermöglichen, der 
Versuch, während eines stark aktionsorientierten Grenzcamps Raum für 
Reflexion und "knowledge sharing" zu schaffen, der Versuch, das unbestimmte 
Gefühl, dass die Einschränkungen von Bewegungsfreiheit und Kommunikation 
zusammenhängen, theoretisch zu fassen. Eine Mischung aus aktivistischer 
Sommeruniversität und Aktionslab.
Die Volxtheaterkarawane macht mit einem fetten Doppeldecker-Medienbus mit, 
wir können den sehr angenehmen Raum von Syndicate Potentiel in der Stadt 
benutzen, viele Gruppen und Einzelpersonen haben Interesse angemeldet.
Was dabei rauskommt, steht noch in den Sternen. Wenns gut läuft, wollen wir 
dsec nach dem Camp als Plattform für Diskussionen weiter bestehen lassen, 
eventuell mit Blick auf den "Kommunikationsgipfel" nächstes Jahr.
An die newsgroup geht hiermit die Bitte um Kommentare. Wenn Ihr das Projekt 
interessant findet, sagts weiter, oder noch besser, kommt vorbei. Wir sind 
auch immer dankbar für Texte fürs Forum auf der website.

na, schauts Euch mal an.
Grüsse,
Marion

P E O P L E M O V E --- P E O P L E C O M M U N I C A T E

People move across physical and virtual borders. People push the electronic
frontiers through digital and physical communication. States and 
multinationals
are enforcing control of both flows. Information technology is part of the
freefloating culture of resistance and a tool to develop a society of
seemless control.
The border camp in Strasbourg is the perfect location to explore these 
connections
and link the struggles for free movement and free communication.

L O C A T I O N

d.sec (first call published on http://dsec.info, january 2002) is part of the
international noborder action camp (http://noborder.org/strasbourg) in 
Strasbourg,
July 19-28, 2002. The intention is to create a thread around the issues
of freedom of movement and freedom of communication. The link between both
is becoming more important with the virtualisation of borders - which certainly
does not make them softer.

Situated in Alsace, with a French/German border which has shifted 5 times
in the last 5 centuries, Strasbourg is now the location of the Schengen
Information System (SIS), a detention center and many EUropean institutions.
d..sec will use this thick symbolic space as an experimental field to better
understand how the virtualisation of borders works, and what to do about it.

Between 1000 and 3000 people are expected for the bordercamp. d.sec will take
place on the campsite and in town, with workshops, presentations,
active discussions or chilling out with a notebook and a cup of coffee.

C O N C E P T

d.sec is about reflecting the mechanisms of repression/control in the 
fields of
free movement and free communication, the experiences of electronic and
physical bordercrossing. An attempt to integrate cyber-activism and taking the
streets, and find the relations between social and technical skills. The wider
objective is to give momentum to an ongoing exploration of technical 
potentials
in the resistance against the border regime.

d.sec relies on the diversity of people who will be present at the Strasbourg
border camp. Some of the activists will be web designers and editors, sys-ads,
videomakers, code-writers, translators. Some earn a living with this 
"immaterial labour",
some just use it in their political work. Others focus on the streets. 
Others have
experience with borders and migration.

/*hack the streets. be pink and silver on the net*/

d.sec is meant to become an open structure where activists, anti-racists, 
migrants,
hackers, teccies, artists and many more put their knowledges and
practices into self-organised interaction. A space to discuss and network, 
for skill
sharing and and collaborative knowledge production. A laboratory to try out
ways to hack the streets and reclaim cyberspace with crowds in pink and 
silver;
experiment with virtual identities, linux and open-source products; explore
the embodyment of technology, learn about the meanings of physical and
virtual bordercrossing.

check out the discussion forum on
http://dsec.info/talk (under construction)
This is a space to collect and discuss
articles, images and texts before,
during and after the camp, a pool for information.

---------------------------------------------------------------


M O D E S

We propose three modes of gettogethers - they are flexible, can take place
anywhere, each mode can turn into another one if people feel like it.

[presentations] anything from formal presentations to chilled-out exchange,
inspired by an impulse contribution (film, talk, website, sound).
Might turn into
active discussions. Could be open to the public

[workshops] skill sharing about things like how to secure my PC, Linux
installation, video editing, webradio, websites, diagramme making, streamingâ

[active discussion] Brainstorms, dreams, theory with a perspective to develop
into ongoing projects and actions. Can last anything between a few minutes
and several days and nights.

A C T I O N

d.sec/ is where the multitudes infect each other with subversive
desires and constructive acts. Let's turn projects, questions
and practices into interventions. Bring the tools to cross the
digital borders. Let's be the humans behind the machines.

/*if you know of anyone who might be
interested, please forward this invitation.*/

/*if you want to put your project on the preliminary
programme or need equipment,
mail to contact dsec.info*/

W H O
This is a choice of projects and groups. Some have already confirmed that 
they are coming,
others are projects worth looking at for inspiration. Anyone working on 
projects related
  to "freedom of movement and freedom of information"  pls get in touch!

CONTENTS

d.sec/themes/basic
{ The struggles for freedom of movement and freedom of communication are 
beginning to interact. To take the solidarity further, we need an 
understanding of how both freedoms are being controlled. Demystifying the 
SIS and visualising virtual borders could be a practical starting point. We 
need to know how IT tools are supporting virtual borders, and how we can 
use them for our own purposes. Let?s talk about how the machinery of 
control affects all of us - as migrants, activists, webbies and crossovers 
of all sorts.}

[presentations/chillout]
#++ Migration and the Digital Frontier: Crossover and Difference (part of 
camp opening event, Sunday 21.7.)
# Learning from the Zapatistas: getting the most out of the web
# Maps of control: an exhibition (Syndicat potentiel/bureau d'etudes)

[active discussions]
# Theatre/performances in public space (noborderZONE)
# IS SIS THE WORLD WE WANT? Info and brainstorm
# ?You need a mobile and email to work with us? (expls: Kanak Attack, 
Indymedia?)
# cardreader (ascii)

[workshops]
# mapping the border. active research for a sbourg diagram. (syndicate 
potentiel, bureau d?etudes)

d.sec/themes/opensource and free things
{The world of open source is thriving: everything is available for free, 
from the Linux operating system to sophisticated cryptography. What?s the 
politix of this world? Why should grassroots groops participate and use it? 
How to secure your computer? And the idea of free things is not limited to 
software?}

[workshops]
# Public key cryptography for secure communication: Create your own 
keypair! (ascii, amsterdam)
# Installing gnu/linux - why and how (ascii and ?)
# A smart artist makes the machine do the work: opensource content
management // campware // databyte
#++ getting free food from the market (sans titre network, daily)
let's talk about debian/ freeBSD/ Gnu/linux/ TCP/IP/ firewalling
# Free parties  the subvertivity of fun
The needs of the "mobile activist"

[chillout]
# Key signing party (ascii, amsterdam) (Friday nite?)
# Yomango: want it? You got it! From civil disobedience
to social disobedience. Shoplifting as fine art
(Yomango, Barcelona, with mobile media unit)


d.sec/themes/electronic.campaigning.disobedience
{Crowds of activists are taking the streets of cyberspace. They practice 
the art of internet campaigning, use the tactics of communication guerilla 
and have a laugh at the rich and powerful. How do electronic disobedience 
and traditional actions/campaigns relate to each other? Cyberspace is 
Public Space!}

[active discussions]
#++ Image pollution and tactical embarrassment: let's talk with and about 
floodnet/electrohippies, lufthansa online-demonstration, rtmark, fiambrera 
obrera, electronic disturbance theatre, yesman, deportation-class.com, 
toywar, root sis# shutdown -h now

[presentations/chillout]
# video screenings about past and present actions (noborderZONE)

d.sec/themes/body
{Some say our identities are liberated through communication technology. 
Others feel the need to reclaim their bodies from the machines. Let?s talk 
about cyborgs, gender, human interfaces, sexuality in the world of 
cyberspace. Let?s talk about the humans behind the machines.}

[workshops]
#++ d.sex: finding questions to answer: chat rooms. sexism. 
gender(bending). power. desire ...
# "The teccie" - a gendered identity? (all present teccies, non-teccies and 
the majority of crossovers)
# let?s talk with and/or about projects like the old
boyznetwork, haecksen, ascii, indymedia, nadir, sindominio?

[presentations]
# every-body who is there and willing to do one

[chillout]

d.sec/themes/hacktivism
{Tools like SIS specifically aim at the restriction of free movement and 
free communication. These database systems to enforce control are bugs, 
problems that need to be fixed. Is the hacker community still ahead of the 
apparatus of control? Any hacker kid has hacked the pentagon, some net 
pirates seized the WEF database at Davos  have they tried to crack the SIS? 
And if so, what would it mean? Direct action, free de-bugging or a risky 
game? Let?s try}

[active discussion and permanent flowing workshop]
Hacking and ethics - explorations of a concept
"root sis# shutdown -h now"
#++ how a hacker would see the SIS

d.sec/themes/media activism
{hundreds of media activists will be present at the strasbourg bordercamp, 
equipped with webcams, digital cameras, minidisc players and laptops. What 
happens to all this footage? What is the function of videos, webradio etc 
for ?THE MOVEMENT?? For some, media activim is about counter-information, 
for others its about interventions in the public sphere, or both. Time to 
think about the fascination and objectives of digital media production}

[workshops]
# the radio stream from everywhere (radio crews at the camp) Producing and 
reflecting on webstreams, pirate radios/television ...
# webmagazine for sbourg bordercamp - intro to the editing system

[active discussion]
# Freespeech at all cost  open or edited? Hate the media  be the media? 
Debating with and about projects like indymedia, liberinfo.net, nadir,
