Platoniq: cultural co-operative system

Platoniq is a group of cultural producers, radio-makers and software developers who from the mix of their computer-technical knowledge and social interests have set up a number of independent community media projects such as http://www.platoniq.net/burnstation, http://openserver.cccb.org/ , http://www.bankofcommons.org

Our main goal is to bring the Internet to the streets, drawing inspiration from diverse networking strategies to develop collective pilot experiences and research in urban contexts.
Since 2003 Platoniq has collaborated with the Barcelona Centre of Contemporary Culture and over the last years they have been awarded two international prizes for their project Burn Station in the Transitio Festival in Mexico D.F. and the Transmediale festival of digital culture in Berlin. They are currently producing the project “Banco Común de Conocimientos” (Bank of common Knowledge), a space of collective action based on the transfer of knowledge and mutual education..
