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
