Check out this new web page and app that seems to serve as an awareness raising tool about slavery by indexing your 'slavery footprint'.

I'm happy to see that it manages to break out of the usual visual language of slavery campaigns featuring guilt inducing images of downtrodden people and distressed fonts with excessive use of black, red, and orange.

Dear Memefest comrades,

We're going to have a Digital Culture festival here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in December. And we applied for the open call for projects. We want to heat up the discussion towards socially responsive communication in a local sphere, in contact with people from all over the world, and the sky is the limit...

So, today is the last day of the voting process (that's no…

Há mapas para publicar aqui, produzidos no encontro em Nijmegen, Holanda, em junho. Um deles ganhará uma versão digital interativa, os outros foram impressos em camisetas. São maneiras experimentais de visualizar conflitos.

Tell me what you want, but there's a megaload of people in the world who is obsessed with reproduction. Spreading their own selves forever, that is, in the most traditionally fisiological way we can think of. The way of the flowers and the bees, the XXs and the XYs and so on. You know.

The whole Globalized Culture is obsessed with it: TV shows, dating sites, religious sacraments, romantic nove…

Intro

On the 28th of May 2k11 we have started gathering at Vasim (http://www.devasim.nl/), Nijmegen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nijmegen). Next two days we were trained for group working. Jumping ropes, playing kind of human minesweeper, remembering our names, melting on the sun, wearing sunscreen, speaking english.

A day or two later, also the late ones joined us, and there we were = 29 …
