This event will take place on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 7:00pm, CCCB. BARCELONA

Thanks in particular to our friends at Platoniq for organizing it.

I hope to see you there!!

The Peer-to-Peer – P2P file-sharing networks go beyond the use that is generally made of the new technologies, which is to say exchanges of music and films. It is essentially based on shared power and widely distributed access to resources in a participative design of social processes in which nobody is excluded. Everything seems to suggest that exporting the P2P model to non-digital spaces in the near future will become the core logic of our societies. Are we ready to produce peer-to-peer culture and create pooled value? Can we call for government among equals and would we be capable of self-management? Could we sustain property shared among equals and defend pooled value in the face of private appropriation?

You are welcome to participate! You can send your questions to info@platoniq.net and follow up the lecture at twitter.com/platoniq. You can also twit your comments and questions with the following tag: #leP2P

This event is part of the series I+C+i, Research and Innovation within the Cultural Field, organized by the Contemporary Culture Centre of Barcelona (CCCB).
