> 
> As an intervention into the reorganisation of power, communication and
> information, we propose a media and communication laboratory during the
> World Summit on the Information Society as part of the
> <http://www.geneva03.org>Geneva03 initiatives and as a counter-event to the
> WSIS.
> Based on the experiences of the Hub in Florence in November 2002, and
> organised in close cooperation with the proposed media lab for the next
> European Social Forum in Paris, Polymedia Lab will be a temporary space of
> experimentation and confrontation for alternative and grassroots
> communication projects.
> It will serve as a platform to develop and experiment with horizontal
> communication, to share experiences and knowledge, to create networks of
> alternative communication projects,and present an alternative vision of
> information society.
> 
> 
> 
> What would we envision? What could take place at Polymedia Lab?
> - Indymedia Centre with public access terminals
> 
> -pirate TV and pirate radio
> 
> - video and radio streams (global, multidirectional, and in interaction
> with streams being produced elsewhere)
> 
> - presentations on issues around the information society : media
> concentration, intellectual property rights, infowar, ISP and media laws, etc.
> 
> - skill sharing workshops on technological aspects of communication: Linux,
> pgp, WiFi, satellite transmission, hacking, streaming, etc.
> 
> - permanent workshops on non-technical aspects of communication :
> horizontal, non-hierarchical ways of communicating- network meetings of
> groups and individuals involved with free TV, free radio, Indymedia, video,
> etc. to develop and facilitate cooperation
> 
> 
> The Polimedia Lab aims to counteract the summit agenda, and show the value
> of information and communication systems based on freedom, horizontality
> and cooperation..
