new architectural space- real and virtual together

new process project @ WSFjanuary04- an EASA experiment?

more interaction and communication between EASA and other groups will lead to us all learning more from each other, having more fun, and ultimately improving the architectural state of society and the planet.

proposal= global indymedia webconference project of the world social forum which is happening in january in mumbai in india. setting up new architectural spaces: local node is part of global interactive network

social forum and indymedia are the 2 major, open, non hierarchial processes which are changing the world in a fundamentally new way.
it is possible for the 150 or so already existing indymedia nodes to work on a global project together, whereby live webstreams can be set up so that those of us who want to go to mumbai but physically cant, can still participate in the process; we come together in the virtual world as one interconnected network.
using the real and the virtual together
there have been 2 previous world social forums over the last 3 years, both in porto alegro in brazil
the upcoming WSF is on 16- 21st of january

3000 years ago philosophers and other people interested in life came together in the agora in athens, from that western civilisation developed.
the next step in world history is happening, it is the network age

it is the most exciting time to be invovled in art, architecture, politics, culture

i hope this proposal generates some architectural debate amongst us
