The deadline for submission for the Chaos Communication Camp is near (May 15). Please hand in your workshops and lectures for the 5-day hacker open air event this summer!
The main theme of this year's camp is the world we want to live in tomorrow. We try, however, to create a certain focus on a number of topics that we regard as important for the near future. We want:
flying and non-flying autonomous robots
security, encryption and anonymity
software projects
technologies for the day after the climate change
rapid prototyping and fabbing
software and hardware for disaster-resistant infrastructure
bringing broadband to the countryside
politics and propaganda
anti-crowd-control tactics and technologies
lock picking
alternative energy systems
citizen surveillance, data mining technologies, and social networks
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
