For years, months, days, we networks and communities of individuals have been exchanging knowledge, designing worlds, experimenting with gizmos and devices.
We are the expression of a thousand thoughts, we are migrants across the City and the Net; we are searching for a place where our commonalities and practices can open up space-time discontinuities.
We want to hack reality, and we need a lab to reassemble its basic elements. In a metropolis scared by unreal securities and too real fears, we yearn to give birth to a site of full of imageries made flesh, of bytes resurrecting metal.
Our collective mind is replete with digital/analog technology, info-communication, knowledge-sharing, meme-spreading, participation-catalysis, and much much more.
The four cardinal points are no longer sufficient coordinates. As Mars is closer to Earth than ever in history, there is no better time for a new reticular constellation, for a new geometry of relations that can freely recompile low-entropy bioware, stunning and getting stunned by vivid special effects and lively affects.

I've become a caricature of myself.I am an Anarchist looking to network with other anti-authoritarians to establish constant, sustainable, creative, constructive resistance. I am intensely interested and supportive of Anarchist action, Hacktivism, Open Source Development of Software, Media, Content, Entertainment, and the development of gift economic and commons based peer production. I want to work to extrapolate these models to work for more industries.I run Linux on my own computer and think anyone who is anti-authoritarian should use a free operating system. There's just something liberating about installing a free legal Operating System that you can help develop that works, and as soon as it installs asks which of several thousand programs you want, all for free. Free as in beer and as in speech. Good stuff.
About me? I dropped out of highschool. Took a test that said I didn't have to go anymore. Since then I've been homeless, in jail, in the depths of the underdark, at a hundred demonstrations, committed dozens of acts of sedition, and most recently found myself back at school. I am taking entirely too many classes cause all my other, less irresponsible friends are getting their Bachelors Degrees. I enjoy finding trouble, breaking and entering, conspiracy to commit sedition, conversation, irony, absurdity, and a slew of other activities. I am altogether unlikeable but I give up my seats for old ladies and have meals with the homeless and do the Robin Hood thing, so you can't say I'm a bad person, just not the sort of person people want to actually be around.
