Só para registrar: decidi mudar o nome da ConecTAZ Oraculismo para ZASF (a partir da publicação desse post no Desvio). Achei melhor trabalhar em termos mais genéricos e estruturais, e a partir da ZASF derivar subprojetos como Oraculismo ou outros (por exemplo, pensar em uma mimoSa sem fio, ou em uma burnstation etérea). Na verdade ainda estou indeciso sobre hospedar todas essas conversas na ConecTAZ Rede MExe, mas não tenho certeza.

--- Lidar com demônios não é controlá-los. Mesmo quando parece. Sempre se trata de uma negociação, conquista na dualidade – quem avança sempre cede, e vice-versa. Ordem, inversão, interpretação, reflexo. Cibernética mística. O caos e a previsibilidade. A resposta é tão irrelevante quanto a pergunta. Importam a formulação e a consciência do equívoco. [...]

Wi-fi master

Desde a campus party eu estou tentando começar a prototipar o oraculismo usando uma wi-fi USB. Eu estava com uma wi-fi que usa o driver zd1211rw. Não rolou, esse driver não funciona em modo Master. Me disseram que o chipset atheros funcionaria legal. Ontem na Santa If comprei outra, que o vendedor afirmou ser com chipset atheros. Não era. Cheguei em casa e é o mesmo Zydas zd1211. Parece que dá pra tentar usar o driver do fabricante, mas dá algum erro na compilação. Enquanto isso, acho que vou tentar em Ad-Hoc, mas isso tira um pouco das possibilidades.

invisibilidade

spooky miller na nettime:

but this is just daily routine. When G.P.S coordinates can be used in court, you have an update on how people can think of locative artforms: when being invisible becomes a strength.

sim. oraculismo se preocupa com isso.

DD-WRT

Re-encontrei meu velho roteador WRT54G, e comecei a estudar o que podia fazer com ele. Algumas referências estão guardadas nos meus bookmarks no scuttle metarec. Gostei bastante do OpenWrt, mas no fim das contas como vai ter mais gente operando o roteador por aqui, acabei optando pelo DD-WRT, que não é tão aberto, mas ainda tem um monte de recursos, e é mais fácil de administrar. Mas fiquei curioso em ver que a Fonera pode rodar o Openwrt. Por enquanto, estou usando o roteador como repeater do sinal. Algumas anotações abaixo:

dd-wrt. o site, o wiki, o fórum. tudo muito confuso. difícil saber qual versão não vai tijolar meu roteador. aqui tem alguma coisa: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=31978&postdays=0&postorder=...
decidi baixar a versão standard do dd-wrt 24, com o firmware vintage. fiz um reset 30/30/30. entrei na interface web do roteador, fui em admin / firmware upgrade, procurei o arquivo e mandei ver. depois de um minuto, ele falou que tava completo e apareceu um botão de continuar. resetei outra vez.
feito, interface do dd-wrt rolando esquema em 192.168.1.1
seguindo isso aqui para transformar ele em repeater: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/10724_3655041_1
cheguei fácil até a parte de configurar o roteador como cliente. por cabo, tá rolando normal. loguei no roteador por ssh e telnet, sem problemas. seguindo as configurações do site, tudo funcionando. já estou acessando a rede pelo repetidor. e dei um boost na potência do transmissor. ainda estou pensando em mandar ver um overclock no processador dele, mas não tenho certeza se vale a pena.

Oraculismo

Project Description

Oraculismo is an ongoing project willing to raise some critical issues related to information access and social dynamics, as well as pointing at analogies between magic and technologic learning. It brings a critical perspective about the ubiquity of internet access via wireless networks in urban contexts. Oraculismo intends to create wireless installations that are freely replicable, in order to create local experiences that can either be understood as environments for gaming, learning or information access. One of its methods is going further in the idea of de-mithifying technology, by attempting to create new myths that include the ideas of dynamic, social and collective exchange of information.

The public face of Oraculismo will consist of open wireless (wi-fi, 802.11x) networks that behave as shamanic totems or oracles, by interacting with visitors and offering negotiated information. These totems will be able to interact with people through different online tools, such as a chatterbot that, depending on the dialog, may point to a local network URL that can be accessed only once. Secrets, keywords, incremental stages for gaining access are elements to play with. Oraculismo will run on free software and will hopefully adopt alternatives for autonomous power supply.

Oraculismo needs little to start being developed. There are already plenty of alternatives offering free and open source software to manage wireless hotspots, as well as great examples of projects that offer free information in burn stations or similar artifacts. Doing the same with wireless networks is a step further in that direction, but on the other hand the negotiation is there to remind us that there are some kinds of learning in which it is not just a matter of just clicking and downloading bits.

Production Timeline and Project Budget

Developing oraculismo will be mostly a matter of dedicating time to put together technologies and information that are already available on the net, compiling them and creating a software and information package, as well as a hardware description, that can then be replicated anywhere. The idea is to put up prototypes of Oraculismo hidden in different parts of São Paulo. For that, we will need some money for equipment (almost useless detailing that more than one month in advance, for there is always a newer or cheaper piece of hardware).

Resume or Curriculum Vitae

Felipe Fonseca is a brazilian independent researcher working in the fields of technological appropriation, free culture and multimedia production. He has been an advisor for the brazilian Pontos de Cultura project, that has created hundreds of multimedia centers based on free and open source technology. Felipe is a member of the consulting board of the distributed organization DesCentro and one of the founders of the brazilian MetaReciclagem network. He is also a member of Bricolabs, an international network trying to put together people interested in critical appropriation of open* (hardware, software, knowledge, spectrum). He has been invited to speak in international conferences such as Transmediale, Wizards of OS, Next 5 Minutes, File, iSummit and others.

(16:30:16) fff: já consegui implementar um robozinho na web
(16:30:19) fff: localhost
(16:30:36) fff: mas queria um robozinho conversacional que entendesse códigos-secretos pra disparar ações no sistema
(16:30:50) fff: tipo "abre-te sésamo" e ele ligar o apache
(16:30:52) fff: mas enfim
(16:30:53) fff: oraculismo

Pois então. Dei um tapa no texto que tinha publicado aqui anteontem e mandei ver. É pra uma comission do Rhizome pro ano que vem. Se você conhecer algum usuário de lá, fale pra votar em mim. Se gostar, claro. Texto abaixo, pra quem não é cadastrado no site:

Oraculismo

Mandei isso hoje pra uma chamada, mas ainda tá bem tosco. Nos próximos tempos quero refinar a proposta.
Summary
Wireless networks are usually regarded as connectivity environments, a way for people to reach information not available locally. If in one hand that brings clear benefits - information can be accessed from virtually anywhere -, on the other hand people often loose the sense of local. The goal of Oraculismo is to bring back the importance of ritualized, local and acquired access to information, by creating data-filled, local wireless networks. Riddles, secrets and magic analogies are its tools.
