Design for the First World
Deadline Extended till July 1st. Help saving the first world from itself! You need to live a developing nation to participate and there is 1000 lollars price. You can support this project at Kickstarter too if you will 
My friend Carolina invited me to be jury at the competition Design for the first World. The main goal is to offer solutions designed from a “developing world” perspective to the developed world:
What does it mean to be a developing country? Among other things it means that the future is to become developed. We are on our way toward development, and we assume that’s a great thing, but let’s stop to consider for a minute whether developed countries are something we want to turn into. Are people in developed countries happier or healthier? Do they live a better life? Do they have a better understanding of nature and live in a better equilibrium with the environment? Do they live in peace?
We have been focusing our energy and resources on trying to solve our Developing World problems to become more like the First World. But perhaps it is time that we, the so called Third World minds, focused our energy and creativity on solving some of the First World problems. We will have a brighter future to look forward to, and perhaps this can help us rethink and approach our current problems from a different perspective.

Electrified Summercamp!
June 17th -27th Gent, Brussels
Timelab invited me to their awesome fablab in Gent!
From june 17 till 27 the second edition of Summercamp Electrified will take place in Ghent. Summercamp Electrified is a ten day intensive encounter between 12 local and international artists with the city as a setting and timelab as a motor. Openness and exchange is at the heart of the summercamp. We are inviting artists with original ideas and an adventurous spirit who are open to collaborate with artists working in other fields. De backgrounds of the artists are very diverse. Whereas workshops for artists often attract people working in the same fields or niches, we are explicitly aiming for a very diverse group or artists.
There is not one specific theme for the Summercamp, but there are some red threads we would like to offer:
* the city as a lab, actions in public space
* the triangle timelab is working in : art, technology, society
* an important theme running through timelab’s activities in the next year : ‘re-spark!’ – the idea of re-ensouling, re-using, re-appropriating, upcycling ideas/objects/projectsSummercamp Electrified is a collaboration between timelab and Vooruit Arts Centre and is supported by Interreg in the context of Transdigital

From the button of my cipherheart: Happy burfday Telecomix!
Exactly one year ago, a bunch of internauts gathered online and offline to talk about the future of the internet. There were many worrying facts, but first and foremost, there was energy and joy.
The first issue to strike the internauts was the telecoms package, which was in the second reading in the European Parliament. Someone suggested “Lets hack our way in to the politicians, and tell them how to do it right!” That caturday night, one year ago, was the beginning of the #telekompaketet IRC-channel, which still exists as the main control room for activities.
Many features have since then been added to the Telecomix System. One day a wiki was added, another day a Crypto Munitions Agency was formed. Telecomix, working as an interface between humans and bots, was even upgraded itself with an operative Artificial Intelligence named Cameron.
Today, we level up our struggle to create a free internet. We have made an operating system, which is equipped with the strongest crypto munitions available to modern computers. It is called the Telecomix Cipher System, and the video on top of this message (download here) shows the reasons for why we give this to the world, as a free download. You may also buy a pre-installed USB-stick at our friends at Gnutiken.
Please join us online and offline in our celebrations. We begin today at 16:00 CET in Gothenburg, Sweden. Stay tuned to our channels for other parties and events!
From the bottom of our cipher hearts – Happy birthday!
