Hi Bricos,

As you are aware, along Pixelache meet up and exhibition this May, a reader
will be produced. This reader wishes to elaborate on brico members' current
thoughts on sub-themese of Pixelache and those discussed recently on the
list as well as topics relevant to each one of you.
We've been discussing last wednesday on IRC that it would be great to hear
your feedback on the reader soon.

We were also wondering if the call was understandable enough.
For the accounts not to take too much of your writing time, we thought you
might want to pair with another individual or community, and engage in
conversation about the topics and frameworks of bricolabs. if this is
something you wouldn't like to do, please do send us any other form of text
- the one you think would fit this purpose.

Feel free to write an email - I would be interested in getting the
conversation further. -we are actively seeking contributions, and we are
also open to receive your comments in any form.
http://piratepad.net/briconversations

please do pass this call to anyone who might want to add on the topic and
be included in the Bricoreader.
if you add yours and their name on the piratepad it would be easier to get
a sense of texts we shall be working on for the reader.

Looking forward to lushed briconversations.

Jerneja and John

To: bricolabs list <brico@???>


Dear Bricoleurs!

In preparation for the upcoming projects and the BricoReader that we are
planning for Pixelache in Helsinki in May, we are asking that folks
within the Bricolabs sphere of action generate some special
conversations with each other. We believe the relevant knowledge-base
available here among us is of great value to share (more) widely.

The conversations, dialogues, and/or interviews that you generate may
include anything that you think is relevant: for example, what issues
you think define the Pixelache theme Facing North/Facing South; what is
(your) theoretical approach to open infrastructures and open
communities; what is your practice to bring this theory to life; and so
on. These textual conversations may not necessarily form an essay, but
will provide us with an array of rich material to assemble the
BricoReader from. These dialogues may also include material relating to
what you find most interesting/powerful/engaging about the distributed
bricolabs network, how it functions, and how it affects participants and
the wider communities that it serves around the globe. We are also
playing with a few sub-themes for the Brico-Pixelache presence: deep
resonant networks; anti-disciplinary collaboration; subjective
infrastructures - autonomy vs. connectivity; the reversal of polarities;
and the smell of Bricolabs. These phrases might give you some things to
think and talk about as well.

To participate in this process, we would like you to start by
considering who you would like to start a conversation with. We would
encourage every Bricoleur to participate and especially to perhaps reach
out to an unfamiliar Brico on the mailing list -- imagine the power of
such a set of dialogues that will then be collected and bricolaged into
the BricoReader! Once you've got a dialogue partner, please send us
yours & their names so that we might begin planning and mapping out
where we can go with the Reader. At this point, there are 182 (!!!)
people on the mailing list: plenty of energizing possibilities. If you
are not aware of all the people on the list, it is also possible to go
to:

http://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/brico

and after logging in at the bottom of that page you can see see a full
list of subscribers (by email address). If you need help on this let us
know.

We will also list partners on this piratepad (you can add your name(s)
yourself as well):

http://piratepad.net/briconversations

In addition, if any of you can think of other interesting individuals or
groups to engage with but who are not on the mailing list please feel
free to invite them into the conversation.

The conversations can be initiated immediately, and certainly may be
conducted in any way you like -- of course a text output suits us best.
We see these as email or perhaps other text-chat transcripts, whatever.

To help the editing process (and the busy editors!) along we propose a
formal deadline of 21 March 2013 to give us time to review and collate
things. We are looking forward to your energized expressions!
