Peer2Politics

The P2P Lab is an independent media lab interested in interdisciplinary research on free/open source technologies and practices.

Our mission is to:

• strive for integrative insights on the open technologies and the peer-to-peer practices.
• provide consultancy support to organisations and institutions regarding open technologies and relevant socio-economic trends.
• produce innovative, global techno-economic solutions to local problems.
• write, edit and publish articles, reports and books in the diverse range of topics we investigate.
• organise open events for reflection and action as well as to educate people about critical and creative tools for society-changing.

We are constantly on the look-out for co-operation on interesting projects.

California has been the source of much innovation, from agribusiness and oil to fashion and the digital world. Historically much richer than the rest of the country, it was also the birthplace, along with Levittown, of the mass-produced suburb, freeways, much of our modern entrepreneurial culture, and of course mass entertainment. For most of a century, for both better and worse, California has defined progress, not only for America but for the world.
