Un sourire, une lutte pour un monde plus libre.

" Adolescent, il participe à la création de deux innovations majeures du Web encore utilisées aujourd'hui : le flux RSS et la licence Creative Commons. Très vite, il est repéré par Tim Berners-Lee, l’inventeur du World Wide Web, qui voit en lui un prodige du net. "

" Après un passage éclair d'un an à la prestigieuse université californienne de Stanford, Aaron Swartz se greffe, en 2005, à un projet qui va changer sa vie. Le forum d'agrégation d’actualités et de discussion en ligne, baptisé Reddit, rencontre un succès immédiat. La start-up le rend célèbre et est rachetée par Condé Nast. "

The Guerilla Open Access Manifesto Publié en #2008

“Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world’s entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations. Want to read the papers featuring the most famous results of the sciences? You’ll need to send enormous amounts to publishers like Reed Elsevier. [...]

Those with access to these resources — students, librarians, scientists — you have been given a privilege. You get to feed at this banquet of knowledge while the rest of the world is locked out. But you need not — indeed, morally, you cannot — keep this privilege for yourselves. You have a duty to share it with the world. And you have: trading passwords with colleagues, filling download requests for friends.

Meanwhile, those who have been locked out are not standing idly by. You have been sneaking through holes and climbing over fences, liberating the information locked up by the publishers and sharing them with your friends.

But all of this action goes on in the dark, hidden underground. It’s called stealing or piracy, as if sharing a wealth of knowledge were the moral equivalent of plundering a ship and murdering its crew. But sharing isn’t immoral — it’s a moral imperative. Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy."

"With music flowing freely over the internet and nobody paying for it, record companies sought to curb online piracy with the help of celebrities, ad campaigns, and a flood of lawsuits. This episode explores how the music industry, the #RIAA, and the U.S. Government went head-to-head with the emerging platforms like Napster, #KaZaa, #iTunes and more in a battle over music rights and money."

"LES RÉSEAUX CONSTITUENT LA STRUCTURE DE NOTRE SOCIÉTÉ ET LEUR NATURE DISSIMULÉE EN FONT DES SUJETS DE RECHERCHE RICHES ET FASCINANTS. NOUS NOUS CONSIDÉRONS COMME DES PORTRAITISTES DE CES OBJETS CONTEMPORAINS, RÉVÉLANT LEURS CARACTÉRISTIQUES POUR TENTER DE MIEUX LES COMPRENDRE".

"I am pleased to preview ‘Dead Drops’ a new project which I started off as part of my ongoing EYEBEAM residency in NYC the last couple weeks. ‘Dead Drops’ is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space. I am ‘injecting’ USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessable to anybody in public space. You are invited to go to these places (so far 5 in NYC) to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your favorite files and data. Each dead drop contains a readme.txt file explaining the project. ‘Dead Drops’ is still in progress, to be continued here and in more cities. Full documentation, movie, map and ‘How to make your own dead drop’ manual coming soon! Stay tuned."

Welcome -- take a leap and leave the Internet
We are researching networking technology that empowers the human individual, not the network and service providers. Our goal is to create the means to communicate with our family and friends in a way that can't be cut off, censored or listened into. This is in stark contrast to what the Internet stands for.

Our Computer Science approach for unfettered communication is based on the use of cryptographically secured append-only logs for dezentralized applications. Unstoppable information and resilient execution flows are two target properties that, as we think, are worth exploring from a scientific, cultural and also commercial point of view.
