Hey,
Thanks for getting back to me! So I have a flexible-ish schedule seeing as the talks were/are mostly in western Europe and I am in central/eastern Europe more for travel/tourism. I'd love to come to your community BBQ! I can change my schedule to leave from Vienna on the 24th instead.
As for the talk, Sunday sounds great! You can pick a time that works and let me know. I'll need a large screen or projector. Is there one there?
Also, since I have no contacts in Vienna, if you know anyone who has an open couch, I'd be really grateful. Otherwise, any recommendations for hostels/hotels would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhay

i am sending this reply also to intern@ our members only mailinglist.
I think your project sounds interesting, the metalab is open almost 24/7 and you are welcome to join us anytime you like. i suggest you come by after 18:00 as there are more people and core hours are between 18:00 and 2:00 ..
https://metalab.at/calendar/ told me there are some events during your stay, but saturday and sunday are VACANT so you could have a talk on one of these days if you like?! just make sure to tell us the date so we can add it to the calendar in time so nobody else requires the main room at the same time.
also we are havinq a community BBQ on the 23rd .. if you are still in vienna by then, make sure to join this.
so long -flo

Hi MetaLab
I am a tech activist from the San Francisco Bay Area, US. I've been associated with various social activism movements as well a part of the hackerspaces Noisebridge (SF) and Sudo Room (Oakland).
I will be traveling all this summer holding talks about online identity and the future of a networked existence. My years of being a tech worker in the bay area, as well as my experiences with mass protest movements and counter-culture have given me a unique perspective that i'm eager to share with other people. I'm also excited to hear about others' experiences and create an international conversation about these concepts. I've been given a generous grant to take this message to as many venues across Europe as possible, and i'd love to contribute to your community space and meet some of the folks there.
Recently, my itinerary became more concrete, and I now know that i'll be spending around 4 days in Vienna. Sorry about the short notice, but things were re-arranged at the last minute because of a talk that is scheduled in Milan, Italy.
Here is a short description of the talk:
In the current landscape of media and communication, our world is undergoing immense and rapid transformations in the breadth, and format of how we interconnect. At the same time, it is difficult for even the most technically adept to fully comprehend the scope of these projects. This talk is a musing on the ideas behind online identity and mass communication in the 21st century. It intends to partially unravel the mystery behind networked social identity, as well as provide the tools for even the technically-disinclined to understand the possibilities for control, surveillance, freedom, and liberated identity within this new topology.
Some included topics: * Online surveillance, and how deleting your Facebook isn't enough * Big Data analytics: why your data is worth money, and the (im)possibility of privacy * Theories and Paradoxes in a hyper-connected future * Alternative internets, (or darkness) and what they represent.
Here is a link to the flyer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q240j6psplhkglp/flyer.pdf
Thanks, and hope to speak with you soon,
Abhay Agarwal
