RoToR // www.rotorrr.org/

By means of real facts and practical explorations Rotor is in the process of constant self-definition.
It becomes the dynamic part of an engine made up of people from different ambits, working together and sharing their knowledge. In Rotor there’s always the chance to play decoding the chains of information and creating a new system of signs and valuation having to do with both, personal conditions and locations. Rotor connects up and crosses, goes up and down. We learn from the game the role we are playing and the board where we are located. The movement keeps us awake and it makes us activate a closer and more vital relationship not only with the environment but also with the emotions players feel when enjoying it. It offers the possibility to take part in the process of creating the rules of the game.

Poble Nou - Barcelona Mercalab - 2004, time to reform!

The property speculators are attacking again !

Between the hooligan Barcelona of the centre & the fashion Barcelona of Diagonal Mar in Poble Nou are 5 strategically situated hectares. On the 29th of May 2004, a group of people decided to use (some people say squat) some land abandoned by the Barcelona City Council. They only realised its strategic importance when a group of riot police arrived to stop 40 people cleaning an open piece of land. We understood that we had put our finger on a sensitive spot.

In order to watch any video promoted on this side, you need three things: the codec and/or a player that supports this codec and the correct p2p-software. This may sound a bit complicated, but after investing some minutes, you'll see that it is worth it: there is no better way to encode, distribute and decode digital video material across platforms. Even though the current state of the development may still appear a little unstable and not as comfortable as you might be used to, this is the only option so that all people can watch and produce videofiles - no matter on which platform they work on and without them having to pay insane fees for software (or having to fear to pay for the software later).
