The corporate-political structures that govern the information revolution are the same ones that drove the industrial revolution and messed up the earth's ecosystem in the process. The mechanisms by which important political and economic decisions are made have not changed, decision-making is in the same hands, value-systems have not changed. Those are the changes that are required to improve the living standards of the world's two billion desperately poor people.

FUTURE NON STOP
...is a semantically connected content repository, which contains documents on 15 years of new practices in art and media.Based on an extensive archive going back to 1994 the site collects materials that serve as important reference documents in the field of new media, politics, and art and makes them accessible to a wider public. Instead of a hierarchically structured archive an experimental navigation interface opens up new ways to explore large information nodes. Documents are associated by a range of tag that allow to filter relevance according to topics and issue relations. ASCR, short for Advanced Semantic Content Repository, is the open source information architecture and "editing back end" of Future Non Stop.
Future Non Stop is a project of:
