Anotações de um caderno nervoso #1

Os dois sites fora do ar, não ia dar pra mostrar nada. Além do mais, no espaço do seminário, a única conexão à internet que tinha era no celular do Lawrence. Esquece. Improvisei um roteirim de apresentação (abaixo), e acompanhei com as fotos que tinha gravado num CD.
MetaReciclagem came from... * ProjetoMetafora.org ** Mailing list ** Technology, Education, Communication, Arts projects (~25) ** We needed a physical infrastructure - MetaReciclagem to address hardware needs. Agente Cidadão. Donated computers. Social projects. **=> MetaReciclagem emerged from the net as a de-centralized network. We decided not to become a forma NGO (even though we are a nonprofit, non-governamental project) ** Then projetometafora got boring and we killed it. ** MetaReciclagem soon catalyzed much of that creativity born in projetometafora. * What is MetaReciclagem ** It´s not a name that defines a group of people. ** It´s a name some people use to describe and identify some things they do. ** More often than not, these things have to do with the re-appropriation of technology. ** More often than not, these things use technology to foster social transformation ** Thus, MetaReciclagem is a de-centralized project about the re-appropriation of technology for social transformation. We call it social technology. * Social Technology ** It´s not about computers, the internet, weblogs or mailing lists. It´s not about digital inclusion. ** It´s about putting together people who have interests and perspectives alike, and providing them with the environment to interact, share knowledge and lear with each other. * Projects called MetaReciclagem ** Spores (spaces that do MetaReciclagem) *** Parque Escola ... public park... biology / recycling. Lab... Container... Painted computers... Courses... Cooperative associations... Sacadura... Small Business... Saca Independent Telecenter... Wi-Fi... VideoWall... Library... Media Lab... Epac... *** Olido ... Downtown Sampa... Santa Ifigênia... Cultural Center... Telecenter... Sótão... Workshops... Computer recycling lab... Third Floor. *** Agente Cidadão ... História... Acabou... *** Independent spores... Recife, Arraial D'Ajuda, Bragança Paulista, Brasília, Vitória, Guarapari, Rio, Salvador. ** L4Ns - space that use metareciced infrastructures *** MTB *** Autolabs *** Lowtech collaboration workshops (sampacolabora, correnteviva, comcom) *** Jarinu *** Chico Mendes *** Digitofagia *** Corrente Viva (plan) *** Senac + Etienne *** Sesc + Etienne *** Sacadura Cabral ** Online Infrastructure *** Tudo. Desenhei. Mostro depois. ** Projects *** Corrente Viva *** EPAC *** Cultural Points
