We are organising the Jardin Entropique at Rennes (Fr), from the 26th to the 28th of june, to discuss crucial questions about technology today, based on four themes:
- Can the internet help to reinforce diversity of identity?
- Can technology encourage the reappropriation by citizens of their environment?
- How to encourage the appropriation of the freedom of computer science, for increased control in daily online use?
- How to sustain communication tools that are genuinely free in a context which does not encourage freedom of expression?
Following on from the Breizh Entropy Congress and the Jardin Numérique, this event will include a shared space between the already initiated and the curious. With the aim to increase understanding of the issues, to identify alternatives, to introduce and promote technological reappropriation for a "free" (as in freedom) computer science. In other words, what is freedom of expression in the digital age, and the tools and methods that allow everyone to exercise it.
Debates, conferences, presentations, workshops, creations, performances and other propositions are eagerley awaited!
NB: We are grateful for any kind of distribution of this CfP!
