AHAcktitude 2009

27-28-29th November, Milan, Italy

Organised by:
aha at lists.ecn.org and AHA:Activism-Hacking-Artivism

AHAcktitude '09 is the second collective meeting for the community of
the aha at ecn.org mailing list, one of the lists hosted by the historical
independent server Isole Nella Rete (Islands in the Net), and at the
core of the networking project AHA:Activism-Hacking-Artivism.

The idea of AHAcktitude came about from the desire of the more than 600
members of the aha at lists.ecn.org to be able to meet. For the first time
after the creation of the mailing list (30th of December 2002) this
happened last year in Venice at the S.A.L.E. Docks. AHAcktitude '09 is
the second stop point for this path whose centre is to discuss themes
like artistic, political and technological activism. The meeting will be
held in Milan on the 27-28-29th of November at the Social Centre
Cantiere and will be proposing to create networks, share projects and
build new activist interventions for the future.

By adopting the same strategy as Hackmeetings, AHAcktitude is organised
and managed directly by the participants who can propose and share
seminars or projects via the aha at lists.ecn.org list. AHAcktitude began
as a space for dialogue and sharing, with the purpose of learning and
spreading practices and knowledge in a free environment, without
censorship. Everyone can use the AHAcktitude wiki to participate: it is
a shared space for the presentation of projects, ideas, files,
documents, music, etc.

# A bit of history

AHA:Activism-Hacking-Artivism is an artistic networking project founded
in 2001 by Tatiana Bazzichelli aka T_Bazz. AHA is a networking
initiative activated by contamination/integration of multiple media and
events, where the common denominator is hacktivism and artistic and
political activism. Activism-Hacking-Artivism focuses on artists and
hacktivists in Italy and abroad that use media in an independent way,
through the organisation of exhibitions, events, and collective meetings
organised by T_Bazz along with other curators that change accordingly.

The core of the project AHA is the community that develops in the
mailing-list aha at lists.ecn.org, where AHAcktitude comes from. The
mailing-list aha at lists.ecn.org is administered by Lo_Bo, Dedalus and
Gionatan, and today counts more than 600 subscribers and it is the
sister mailing-list of the international list Nettime.
The AHA: Activism-Hacking-Artivism project won an Honorary Mention in
the Digital Communities cathegory of Prix Ars Electronica  at the ARS
Electronica Festival in Linz (AU) in September 2007.
