[#hack66] these guys read our article on Internet censorship capabilities in Cyprus. I sent it to them after they mentioned making censorship measurements in the north with interesting results! They'll share their analysis soon, I hope. In the meantime this is an example of their previous work on the topic --Fwd: BLACKLIST analysis of Swiss Internet censorship

[#hack66] about our independent comms idea! kick off Saturday October 28th? Fwd: Wachter + Jud open call for workshop

The guys at NeMe are organising a workshop with Wachter + Jud (Oct 28, Lim) who say they love the idea of working with local hackerspaces! I'm thinking it would be great for us to go in with our own priorities and use the time and their help to develop what we need. http://news.neme.org/1826/tools-for-the-next-revolution _________ Open call for workshop participants Within the framework of *Respublika! A Cypriot community media arts festival*, curated by Prof. Dr. Nico Carpentier, NeMe is pleased to invite you to participate in a hands-on workshop conducted by the internationally renowned artists and winners of the 2016 Prix Ars Electronica, Golden Nica Interactive Art+ <https://www.aec.at/radicalatoms/en/prixforum3/>, Wachter and Jud <http://www.wachter-jud.net/> CH/DE. The workshop explores the possibilities of expression in the communication society and uncovers the narratives and power structures behind it. Participants will create their own Internet independent Wifi communication network, learn how to use it and how to extend the range of Wifi-networks with self-built antennas. Artists’ statement “What does the war in Syria have to do with the privacy debate in Europe? What does NSA mass surveillance have to do with a Chinese Internet café? On the one hand, we have our own specific views. On the other hand, the forms of expression are subject to a collective political, cultural, governmental and linguistic regime. In order to overcome the forms of attribution, exclusion and paternalism in our own views and expressions, we specifically address the social and cultural mechanisms of exclusion in our art projects. Our projects, such as *picidae* (since 2007), *New Nations* (since 2009) and *qaul.net <http://qaul.net>* (since 2012), have gained worldwide interest by revolutionising communication conditions. As open-source projects these works uncover forms of censorship of the Internet, undermine the concentration of political power and even resolve the dependency on infrastructure. The tools we provide are used by communities and activists in the USA, Europe, Australia and in countries such as Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, India, China and Thailand. Even North Korean activists participate. In the digital age we usually forget about the exclusion and the gaps because they don’t appear in our world view. By looking into our communication conditions, we can realise new strategies and ways to reach out to each other.” *Workshop date:* Saturday, 28/10 /2017, 10:30-17:00, NeMe Arts Centre, Corner Ellados and Enoseos Streets, 3041, Limassol Participation is free but due to space restrictions only 20 applicants will be accepted. *Application deadline:* 20/10/2017 Please call 25-372675 to reserve your participation.
