Commons lLab: work groups 2008-2009
- Obsoletos (Obsolete), by Basurama. A project conceived of by the Basurama collective for the research, creation and dissemination of creative systems for transforming technological waste, which is understood as all types of electronic devices, storage formats, or hardware that have fallen into disuse or become impaired: computers, peripherals, magnetic tapes, motherboards, etc. [+info]
- Muerto y mil veces muerto: El largo camino desde el autor romántico al procomún (A Thousand Times Dead: The Long Road from Romantic Authors to the Commons), coordinated by Jesús Carrillo and Jordi Claramonte. A series of lectures and discussions related to key theoretical moments in which the “author” as a monopolistic form of cultural and artistic production has come into question. Special emphasis will be placed on mechanisms that have redirected these critiques through their institutionalization or fetichization. [l+info]
- Ontología jurídica libre (Free Legal Ontology), coordinated by Javier de la Cueva. Proposal for building a free legal ontology to create a structured database that will comply with the principles set forth by the Open Government Working Group. [l+info]
- La hemeroteca audiovisual como procomún (The Audiovisual Periodicals Archive as part of the Commons), coordinated by Tíscar Lara. It reclaims the right to access to and use of the audiovisual archives of the media and promotes the search for ways to make them freely available, given that, to a certain extent, they are producers of our historical memory and collective psyche.

- Cultura(s) de lo común, (Culture(s) of the Commons), coordinated by Andoni Alonso and Antonio Lafuente. The objective is to gather the terms and concepts comprising the culture(s) of the commons. If defining a concept means using words to define its meaning and showing the implications of its use, constructing a dictionary means giving new life to and making visible the cornucopia of common assets. The project does not presuppose any previous philosophy but instead supports the plurality of points of view and the diversity of traditions that comprise the Commons. [l+info]
- Cuerpo Común, (Common Body), coordinated by Jaime del Val, proposes a criticism of the new forms of power implicit in post-Postmodernism, which operate by giving shape to the desires and emotions of bodies. The project aims to study new control technologies that operate through the dissemination of non-verbal affective intensities (sounds, choreographies, images) in the framework of audiovisual culture.
