"Manifesto hacker" di McKenzie Wark, un testo che ha continuato a influenzare il modo in cui vediamo il mondo digitale e l'attivismo. Vent'anni dopo la sua pubblicazione, i concetti trattati sono ancora sorprendentemente rilevanti. TRASCRIZIONE [Eng translation below] Se cercate nel dizionario inglese-italiano la parola hacker, probabilmente troverete hacker, cioè non lo traducono per niente, oppure troverete qualcosa tipo pirata informatico. Però vabbè, a parte la figura romantica del pirata, gli hacker fanno anche attivismo che si chiama aktivismo, ed è proprio di questo che voglio parlare nei 3 minuti grezzi di oggi perché ricorre il ventesimo anniversario dalla pubblicazione del 'Manifesto hacker' un volume che all'epoca veniva conosciuto da pochi, già internet ce n'era poca in giro e c'erano pochi siti però le persone che studiavano o che comunque bazzicavano il mondo internet conoscevano il manifesto hacker scritto da McKenzie Wark. Cos'è questo questo libriccino? Nel suo contenuto abbastanza semplice, le idee fondamentali sono abbastanza alla portata di tutti, cioè dice che oggi nel mondo, parliamo di vent'anni fa ma ancora non fa ancora una piega tutto questi concetti, ci sono due aspetti importanti: quello delle idee astratte e virtuali e quello delle cose invece pratiche. Il fatto è che le cose virtuali, come l'informazione, ma anche la poesia, la matematica, influenzano cose molto concrete che sono i paesi, gli eserciti, le aziende, le comunità. Quindi, come il virtuale ha un impatto molto reale sul mondo che ci circonda. E l'obiettivo del libro è quello di spiegarci chi sono le persone che stanno creando questo nuovo mondo e come vengono trasformati i dati in idee che poi ci portano a stare da un lato o dall'altro. Il manifesto degli hacker parla anche di un altro problema, di come alcune aziende, soprattutto quelle farmaceutiche, vogliono proteggere le loro idee e non vogliono invece la condivisione. Si pensi un po' ai brevetti per i vari vaccini, per le medicine che vengono prodotte e vengono vendute a prezzi altissimi. Quindi si parla anche di proprietà intellettuale. Ci sono due due fazioni opposte: le persone che vogliono usare le informazioni o vogliono che le informazioni siano libere, e quelli invece che vogliono tenere tutto per sé e che non vogliono condividere. Diciamo che è un libro che ha vent'anni, ma non li dimostra affatto, perché se andiamo a leggere vediamo che gli stessi problemi ce li troviamo ancora davanti. Vi metto un link perché è molto interessante e sicuramente in questi giorni se ne parlerà appunto perché sono vent'anni che McKenzie Wark l'ha pubblicato. TRANSLATION If you look up the word hacker in the English-Italian dictionary, you will probably find hacker, meaning they do not translate it at all, or you will find something like digital pirate. But whatever, apart from the romantic figure of the pirate, hackers also do activism which is called aktivism, and that's exactly what I want to talk about in today's podcast because it's the 20th anniversary of the publication of the 'Hacker Manifesto' a volume that was known to few people at the time, already the internet was little around and there were few sites however people who were studying or otherwise hanging out in the internet world knew about the hacker manifesto written by McKenzie Wark. What is this little booklet? In its quite simple content, the basic ideas are quite within everyone's reach, that is to say it says that in the world today, we are talking about twenty years ago but still, it still does not make a dent in all these concepts, there are two important aspects : that of abstract and virtual ideas and that of things instead practical. The fact is that virtual things, such as information, but also poetry, mathematics, affect very concrete things that are countries, armies, companies, communities. Thus, how the virtual has a very real impact on the world around us. And the goal of the book is to explain to us who the people are who are creating this new world and how data are being turned into ideas that then lead us to be on one side or the other. The hackers' manifesto also talks about another problem, how some companies, especially pharmaceutical companies, want to protect their ideas and do not want sharing instead. Think a little bit about the patents for various vaccines, for medicines that are produced and are sold at very high prices. So we also talk about intellectual property. There are two opposing factions: people who want to use the information or want the information to be free , and those who want to keep everything to themselves and do not want to share. Let's say it's a book that is 20 years old, but it doesn't show it at all, because if we go to read it we see that the same problems are still in front of us. I am putting a link because it is very interesting and certainly these days it will be talked about precisely because it is 20 years since McKenzie Wark published it.

Remembering #BarnabyJack & the great things he did for medical cyber security that certainly did not require that community killing him 7 yrs ago. He should have been here last week to celebrate his 33 rd birthday I wonder what he & #AaronSwartz are up to? 💻🖨💿💾🖥📀 https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRqGctn3MD/?igshid=1m0omg16s6xxr

60 publications / 5 years retrospective #32 — DYSFUNCTION #1, Paris/Copenhagen, 2017, 38 x 57,8 cm, Offset on newsprint, 12 pp., 1000 copies. Free and available from @hon_bookstore At the end of the ANR ABRIR research project, Natalia Bobadilla, Philippe Mairesse and I decided to analyse our production of hybrid installation, workshop, performances and publications made as the dissemination team. We wrote an academic paper describing our process, and in order to be coherent with the vision we were defending, we decided to print it as a newspaper and to distribute it for free as our participation to a conference in Copenhagen. DYSFUNCTION is the name of the piece and Critics and ethics in art-based research dissemination is the subtitle of the article. Later on, as we decided to continue this project as an art & research newspaper, we obviously kept DYSFUNCTION as a title, but the subtitle also stayed as our motto for the first 4 issues. This issue is plea for open research it is therefore dedicated to the memory off the late #aaronswartz See @dysfunction.journal In 2015, I chose antoine lefebvre editions both as my artist name and as my imprint. I didn’t do it on purpose, but after some time, I realised I was issuing more or less one publication each month. For many reasons, some of which are pretty obvious, I haven’t published anything for a while. So it is time to sit back, relax and enjoy the work done until I figure out what comes next. By the way, almost all these publications can be downloaded from my website. The link is in my bio. #本 #artistpublisher #bookstagram #artistbook #zine #artzine #artzines #DIY #selfpublishing #drawing #art #contemporaryart #printedmatter #ephemera #lesgrandsvoisins #quaranzinefest #laabf2020online #imisszinefairs #artresearch #artistpublisher #bookworm #quaranzine (à Copenhagen, Dennmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAAkwVzodAz/?igshid=hkas29xfxrfw
