borderLands hackLab
"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.
Reload, Hacklab Milano, Sept 14 2003"
The borderLands hackLab is based in San Diego, California.
Our goals are to:
- provide technology for radical groups in san diego
- work towards technical self-sufficiency within our radical community
- challenge the tradition of racism and sexism in technical education
- educate people about free software ideals and the usage of free software
- utilize our privilege as people in the us to share technology with people who don't have the same level of access
Generally, our goals are to create more radical technology in san diego and provide tech solidarity abroad, specifically to the Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico.
