[-empyre-] Next level the Zapatistas

[Gradecki, Jennifer]

Thanks for forwarding this, Ana and sorry to hear of these difficulties. I’m wondering if maybe Renate might need to moderate the post? That happened to me with my first post.

Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!

All my best,
Jen

Subject: Fwd: Next level the Zapatistas

Dear all sorry of I spam you but my message sent yesterday seems not being distributed to the list. Jennifer was so kind to look at the archives I did it myself but either Jennifer or myself didn’t find it.
Since it’s a short week and I wanted so many as possible to participate in the discussions I wanted to be able to post more than one message!
Cheers
Ana

Continuing with my examples of how technology cam be used for the good I remember how the Zapatistas and his leader Comandante Zero used the digital space to crate a really liberated zone, a zone as the ones described by Hakim Bey in his essay about autonomous zones far from the central axis of power.
The Zapatistas and the people living in Gaza Strip and the West Bank, places I visited several times with my colleague the Swedish visual artist Cecilia Parsberg, were able to establish networks with allies living outside the zones providing them with bandwidth and fast routers.

The virtual room allowed people to exercise and perform their freedom and became a powerful loudspeaker.

The Comandante Zero shared with the V hero from Vendetta his anonymity. Behind the mask the leadership could be exercised in a collective way and the cult to the leader be bypassed.


For many years ago the Swedish and the Finish governments worked together to create anonymizers, tools which could be used by dissidents to fight government censorship.

The tool used mostly to navigate the Dark Web, Tor, was the result of many researchers and techs thinking about how to facilitate to whistle blowers to denounce crimes and cover ups.

Edward Snowden’s job had been impossible without Tor.
