eur@ction HUB : satellite experimentation lab for media+social activism

Hub is oxygen, not carbon dioxide. Hub wants to be fresh, unpolluted air that freely diffuses across allegiances, practices, methods. Hub creates space for moments and sites of cooperation, experimentation, creation, and action.

Hub is a trail where different paths cross, a space opening up other dimensions, a site enabling free access to cross-breed and socialize information, knowledge, and express muliplicity of forms, attitudes, ways, experiences of media and social activism

Hub exists insofar as it materializes in the liberation of a metropolitan public space; it is an area of time, land, imagination emerging from the temporary networking and interconnection of various subjects, individual and collective

Hub is born out of sharing a method based on decentralization, consensus-based decision-making, transparence and public communication of practices and decisions developing out of liberated urban space.

Hub is a journey taken by individuals participating in groups, collectives, networks across Europe and the planet, such as: Indymedia, Intergalactika, Chainworkers, Las Agencias, Yomango, Movimiento de Resistencia Global de Catalunya, Comunicaccio, Laboratorio Desobediente (Spain), Universidad Nomada, Colectivo de Solidaridad con Chiapas, Dinero Gratis, Ninguna persona es ilegal, Apprentice Agitators for a Global Resistance Network (France) etc., etc.

Hub is not charted onto predetermined political terrains, is not listed on the bad guys/good guys records, is neither within nor without the ESF: it is elsewhere and can be anywhere

Hub is a work in progress thru the Net, open to all and decentered down to everybody. It grows as people post new ideas and proposals on the website

---
Mediacenter, a space for digital media experimentation
--- Intergalactika Lab , a place to compare and experiment with new forms of action and organizing
