> > Hacker Space Festival 2009 | Call For Proposals

> > In 2008, we organized HSF[1] on the spot, as an ad-hoc meeting for
> > hackerspaces-related networks, technical and artistic research emerging
> > from them and social questinning arising from them. This sudden
> > experiment proved to be a huge success, as much as on the
> > self-organizing level as on the participants and meetings quality, as
> > well as the emotionally-charged ambient, the kind of which you make
> > fond memories.
> >
> > The 2008 edition generated a strong emulation in France, from its
> > historical role as the first official hack meeting there, and in Europe
> > with the subsequent creation of the Hacker Space Brussels[2], the
> > rapprochement with The Fiber in Amsterdam and the hackerspaces.org[3]
> > network. Initiatives of hackerspace openings in Grenoble or Lille, or
> > the upcoming FrHack[4] conference show an actual enthusiasm in the
> > French hackers community that was doomed to the "underground" not so
> > long ago. We salute these initiatives and their diversity!
> >
> > Soon enough, we wanted to reiterate the HSF experience: however, it
> > was out of the question to institutionalize this temporary autonomous
> > zone, nor make it an ersatz of the previous edition, nor even to wrap
> > it into an "elite" or "underground" aura. On the opposite, we ardently
> > desire; and especially to explore further, in all directions some
> > lesser known domains (see below) et foster meeting and sharing around
> > experiences at the confluence of art, technology and politics.
> >
> > The world financial crisis, the decay of democracy in Europe, the
> > obscurantism, paranoia and lack of culture presiding over legislation
> > (Internet and Reaction... Err... Creation Law[5][6]) seem a fertile
> > environment for the sensible development of new (social...) life forms.
> > Quick! Let's rest for a few days in jubilation and ecstasy to take a
> > deep breathe of freedom under the indelicate smells of the medicine
> > factory nearby!
> >
> > For if the public space is shrinking to oblivion, where any side-step
> > becomes suspect, and that, from an early age (deviant behavior
> > detection in nursery school), where moving without a mobile phone
> > becomes suspect (hello you Julien Coupat[7], a French political
> > prisoner in France!), there's a domain that the Leviathan would have a
> > lot of trouble to contain, and for a reason: that of sensitivity. Even
> > the desperate attempts of the State to block the free and premonitory
> > expression of sense (hello you Demeure du Chaos![8]) cannot do anything
> > against a loud laughter or a knowing glance, a sensual kiss or an
> > explosion of colors.
> >
> > Sensitivity, we could say, is what is left to a human being when she
> > has nothing anymore, and differenciates her from the body corporate or
> > the institution, that are, in essence, devoid of it. Therefore, Art
> > definitely remains the public space to share between humans, and only
> > between us. And if it the last one to share, we propose to explore it
> > and take it over during the upcoming edition of the Hacker Space
> > Festival, from the 26th to 30th of June, 2009 at Vitry sur Seine[9].
