Statement:

s.100kb is a project that was born from the meeting of some nomadic people, somewhere in northern countries, on a neutral playground, where the peace is reigning. ...that was in Helsinki, at the pixelache festival (http://www.pixelache.org).

But we were not at peace, receiving bad news from the "cultural clash" front everyday, we were there,
Naeem Mohaiemen, from disappeared in america (http://www.disappearedinamerica.org),
Eleonora Oreggia, audiovisual artist, collaborator in streamtime (http://www.streamtime.org),
and Yves Degoyon, a free software dealer and hacktivist (http://ydegoyon.free.fr, http://www.fadaiat.net).

Then, the work started, confronting the suicidal and violent visions of occidental utilitarian civilisations to the more socio-centric southern civilisations.

If there is a shock, that's only coming from the permanent will of exploitation of southern countries, by greedy companies and governments everywhere.

Consumption logic.

The streaming documents from iraq and documentaries from Bengladesh were there to prove the facts.

Starting from this raw material, we started a re-contextualisation of this story, a sensible telling of our history, in the form of a Pure Data audio-visual performance, using free software mattered.
