> this summer.
>
> This call has been launched by "d-sec", an informal group of people
> aiming at connecting social struggles and some other electronic
> practices and concerns. For all italian-speaking persons out there,
> please note that the first edition of this call (v1.0) has been
> translated in italian and is available at the following URL :
> http://www.noborder.org/strasbourg/materials/calls/it_display.php?id=20
>
> A french translation is about to be spread as well.
>
> For those of you interested in joining the process, a mailing-list has
> been set : Communicate mailing list <Communicate@dsec.info>. List-info

> d.sec (first call published on http://dsec.info, january 2002) is part
> the international noborder action camp (http://noborder.org/strasbourg)
> in Strasbourg, July 19-28, 2002. The intention is to create a thread
> around the issues of freedom of movement and freedom of communication.
> Both issues and practices are linked, and this link is becoming more
> important with the virtualisation of borders - which certainly does not
> make them softer.
>
> Situated in Alsace, with a French/German border which has shifted 5
> times in the last 5 centuries, Strasbourg is now the location of the
> Schengen Information System (SIS), a detention center and many EUropean
> institutions. d..sec will use this thick symbolic space as an
> experimental field to better understand how the virtualisation of
> borders works, and what to do about it.
>
> Between 1000 and 3000 people are expected for the bordercamp. d.sec will
> take place on the campsite and in town, with panels/presentations,
> workshops, active discussions or chilling out with a notebook and a cup
> of coffee.
>
>
> C O N C E P T
>
> d.sec is about reflecting the mechanisms of repression/control in the
> fields of free movement and free communication, the experiences of
> electronic and physical bordercrossing. An attempt to integrate
> cyber-activism and taking the streets, and find the relations between
> social and technical skills. The wider objective is to give momentum to
> an ongoing exploration of technical potentials in the resistance against
> the border regime.
>
> d.sec relies on the diversity of people who will be present at the
> Strasbourg border camp. Some of those involved in activism are earning
> their lives with "immaterial labour" as web designers, administrators,
> code-writers, in call-centers, as translators or web-editors. Some are
> using this knowledge in their political work. Others focus on the
> streets. Others have experience with borders and migration.
>
> /*hack the streets. be pink and silver on the net*/
>
> d.sec is meant to become an open structure where activists,
> anti-racists, migrants, hackers, teccies, artists and many more put
> their knowledges and practices into self-organised interaction. A space
> to discuss and network, for skill sharing and and collaborative
> knowledge production. A laboratory to try out ways to hack the streets
> and reclaim cyberspace with crowds in pink and silver; experiment with
> virtual identities, linux and open-source products; explore the
> embodyment of technology, learn about the meanings of physical and
> virtual bordercrossing.
