InfoLab
-
Problem: Corporate Media, owned by just a few companies, has a
monopoly on the ideas that are force fed to "consumers".
Likewise,
corporations to a large extent control the computer operating systems.
The internet, however, has seen the production of many documentaries,
documentation, and operating systems which offer different and
important viewpoints.
Many of these documentaries and operating
systems are licensed with free redistribution, and can be distributed
via DVD.
The goal of the American Hacklab infolab project is to create, in the
tradition of European hacklabs (but without the physical space
requirements), Infolabs that can help with the distribution of
materials.
