New Cyberhippietotalism hackbase season: totalism.org/cht6a

********** SPACE STATUS UPDATE, 13 FEBRUARY 2017

Truco.space (hackerspace) started as an idea in June 2016, that came out of Cyberhippietotalism (http://totalism.org, a hackbase since 2011). It was named and initiated by me personally, with immediate support by Matic Potočnik. After this, other people have been invited to collaborate, especially 2 (Jose, Luis) were relatively active. In a matter of weeks, some support in the form of (non-formal) members, and a space in Argana Alta - some of you have visited it - has been offered, accepted, and developed.

*** "TRUCO.SPACE #1" : June 2016 - September 2016
The space in Argana Alta was a matter of quite a lot of work to set up. Performed especially by Matic and me personally (>75% in terms of all hours spent at the space). Some of you became (non-formal) members, and we collected some (non-formal) memberships. The space closed in September - when we left the island, because we only live on the island temporarily, about 1/3 of the time. The other 2 prominent local members retreated in early 2017 for personal reasons, and one of them is also the proprietor of the space. So the space was "officially" closed, with all Cyberhippietotalismequipment moved out, in January 2017.

*** "TRUCO.SPACE" ASSOCIATION
A Spanish association was also started, and made official in ~October 2016. The status of this is currently unknown to me, but I am interested to continue its direction in the future. I will be investigating with the other two trusted formal co-founders if that is an option.

*** FUTURE
The idea and its manifesto of "TRUCO.SPACE Lanzarote hackerspace / open laboratory" is still relevant to me personally, and to Cyberhippietotalismas a support entity. The outline of the project, written on http://truco.space, is still available, and open to any interested future collaborators. Currently, I am not actively looking for a space in Lanzarote, but this might change in the future.
I will also support (personally and with Cyberhippietotalism) any other open initiatives in the fields of open technology, avantgarde art/theory/politics.

Thanks,

CITIZEN SCIENCE!

"If you want to raise awareness, the most powerful thing you can do is get real data, real science. People are too intelligent; otherwise, they’ll question what you say. Once you’ve shown them objective fact, then you can begin political campaigning. That’s why I think citizen science is only going to get more and more important; it will become an essential part of modern life"

Scientific advances have always drawn on the work of non-professionals. Even more so now, thanks to technology
