The Future of File Sharing: Darknet Reloaded?
Free Bitflows
Session 2: Panel with Sjoera Nas, Janko Roettgers, Ian Clarke Moderator: Felix Stalder
The famous Microsoft study concludes that the powers that be don't stand a chance to the reality of the so called "Darknet". A somewhat optimistic note from an unexpected side. At the same time, the legal and technical assault on file sharing and anonymity is in full swing. What is the future of free information exchanges? More anonymity? Or, on the contrary, will uncontrolled p2p disappear into social networks?

The Freenet Project
Free Bitflows
The Freenet Project is creating software designed to ensure freedom of communication on the Internet. This is achieved through the creation of a completely decentralized emergent architecture which allows the anonymous publication and consumption of information through a peer-to-peer architecture. The Freenet software has been downloaded by over two million users worldwide, and is already in use in countries such as China to circumvent government censorship.

The Future of File Sharing: Darknet Reloaded? Session 2
Darknets are increasingly seen as the future of P2P file sharing. Often people think of these networks as closed, enrcypted spaces with tight security measures and hierachic social architectures. At the same time there is another model emerging with websites like Friendster.com and Orkut.com: Networks that utilize the power of social links and challenge their users to make risk-based decisions. This could not only lock out the bad guys (tm), but also help to develop powerful collaborative filters.

The art of causing trouble: resistance to media monopolies
Free Bitflows
It is not only a protocol or a technical standard to make the difference between a communication mode and another (broadcast vs Webcast, UHF versus TCP/IP). Power structures and historically rooted social formations shape independent networks and their relationship to mainstream media. Italian Telestreet or Indymedia Italy wouldn’t exist in their actual form without the Italian movements of the Seventies but also without Silvio Berlusconi’s media monopoly. Nevertheless, the “dictatorship of the audience”, or the “dictatorship of the majority”, has proved to a certain extent an autonomous machinery, able to affect and drive the political body (e.g. the Zapatero effect). The more the media machine models itself on the consumer-voter “desire” to participate (from reality shows to broadcasted live public events) the more media viruses and parasites have the opportunity to redirect these desires and audiences. If we want to be able to tell other stories that might interfere with the existing narratives, we need to blend the technical wisdom and the ability to open imaginary breaches that provoke a chain of reaction.

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:
Institute for New Culture Technologies/ t0.
