APO33 presents concerts of the future, today!
On Tuesday, November 11, APO33 showed workshop participants how it is possible for musicians around the world to share their music, and even perform live concerts while they are in different locations geographically. This is possible through a groundbreaking open source audio streaming software, IceStream, developed by the creative people of APO33.
In the spirit of peer to peer (p2p) learning and knowledge sharing, APO33 builds software and organize workshops and events for the future. A future where people have the freedom and tools to create and express freely, away from corporate or state (technological) monopolies that seek power to decide who can have access to resources and how.
Sometimes corporate control seems invincible but actually “more and more people today become aware of alternative choices and turn to free and open resources”, Jenny Picket from APO33 tells us. APO33 is an example in its own right showing how international cooperation and work can be viable: all members come from different countries and collaborate with many others in remote locations of Earth to create innovative projects.
Challenging predominant discourses, APO33 offers tangible visions for a future where technology is more accessible, demystified and better adopted. Ground-breaking technology, however, will not bring change on its own. People need to care and get involved in it. Come today at Eastern Bloc and experience an artistic event of the #zerofuture, together with APO33, the Pre-Lubed Sisters and Julie Matson!
