The_multitude_connected_

Call for participants

When:

September 2nd to 4th, 2003

Where:

La Rábida, Huelva [Spain] / Cyberspace

What:

The multitude connected is an experimental meeting to build a public virtual space based upon real time exchange of audio/video information

among different geolocalizations.

Information flows received from different geolocalizations, and other locally produced, will be mixed and projected in five screens with their

sound systems in a daily night party, in La Rábida [Huelva / 22:00 to 02:00 GMT]. At the same time, video images recorded live on site will be

streamed back into the Web.

Part of the flows will be managed through a bi-directional satellite internet connection.

We consider the event as a political-technological experiment that will allow to practically speculate about the construction of the multitude

[connected], the global political subject emerging since the zapatista uprising, through Seattle, Genoa and the 2002 anti-war global campaign.

The multitude connected is a meeting of hackers, activists and artists in order to build new spaces of cooperation and common action; "a world

where many different worlds can fit".

How:

Streams will be managed from the multitude connected web site:

Audio/video archives and streaming url´s will be uploadable at: http://www.hackitectura.net/lamultitudconectada/descargas.html [still under

construction]
