Net Community Hacks Cultural Funding System

Net Community Hacks Cultural Funding System

Vienna, 2 May 2006

Our much-discussed, game-theory-oriented approach to cultural funding 
represents a
clear rejection of all the Austrian cultural industry's hegemonic tendencies,"
states MANA coordinator Stefan Lutschinger: "This hack of the outmoded jury and
committee system opposes every rationalistic funding cut with pure difference,
contingency coping and the fruitful development of paradox."

Software-based Funding Distribution

Last week, a participatory cultural support budget of 125,000 euros was
distributed to artists and cultural producers in Vienna using the MANA Community
Game -- an innovative software-supported selection process. The decision 
regarding
the distribution of funding was not made by curators, juries or committees, but 
by
the submitters themselves. Twelve people will receive project grants between 
5,000
and 15,000 euros, whereby 42% of the recipients are women.

"Old" Concepts and "New Thinking"

The Community Game is one of the most innovative distribution systems for 
cultural
funding worldwide. It is based on "old" concepts of the avant-garde =96
auto-curating and self-organization =96 and the "new thinking" of second-order
cybernetics. MANA's great advantage is its capacity for self-correction and
adaptation to intelligent system environments: errors and irregularities can be
recognized and corrected immediately by the net community, which emerges
strengthened from this process. Here 120 submitters agreed to a complex set of
rules.

A Self-managed Cultural Funding Budget

Since the autumn of 2004, the open net community "netznetz.net" has grown out of
the numerous digital cultural initiatives that have developed in Vienna in 
recent
years. In order to do justice to these diverse cultural and artistic modes of
expression, an application has been made to the City of Vienna's Department of
Cultural Affairs (Net Culture Unit) for a self-managed cultural funding budget 
to
support this very active scene with around 500,000 euros yearly. The heart of 
this
funding model is the software-based selection process MANA.  After a two-month
evaluation phase in early summer, the net community will decide on its specific
adaptation and further development.

ot want to play forever under the peep- 
show unfavorable rules.

But we failed.

We failed and we were in the end corrupted, and we had to surrender  
to the copyright guardians.

We failed breaking into the protectionist economy.

We failed, because we wanted to share and give away.

GWEI - Google Will Eat Itself - Solidarity Link Action

Call for Support: Link to Google Will Eat Itself
by Geert Lovink

http://www.networkcultures.org/geert/2007/03/22/call-for-support-link- 
to-google-will-eat-itself/


Google Will Eat Itself ( http://www.gwei.org ) announced that is now  
fully censored on all Google Search-Indexes worldwide. What a scandal!

The idea behind GWEI is simple:

Google Will Eat Itself generates money by serving Google text  
advertisments on a network of hidden Websites. With this money GWEI  
automatically buy Google shares. GWEI buys Google via their own  
advertisment. Google eats itself - but in the end "we" own it. By  
establishing this autocannibalistic model we deconstruct the new  
global advertisment mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click- 
based economic model. After this process GWEI hands over the common  
ownership of "our" Google Shares to the GTTP Ltd. [Google To The  
People Public Company] which distributes them back to the users  
(clickers) / public.

Let's break the silence and put a link to this project on our sites  
and blogs: http://www.gwei.org. Give Google back to people! GWEI is  
an interesting case how to imagine a new global public sphere. How to  
reverse privatization and rethink a truely public Internet without  
the Googles and Yahoos.


Thanks for your support!
