This post is a translation of a proposal by Susana Martín Belmonte of which the original will soon be posted! On July 13 2016, the city of Barcelona published a government measure to create an energy operator in the city . This operator aims to accelerating the energy transition to renewable energy sources, facilitating the citizen's energy self-consumption, and providing the citizens with access to electricity generation business income, as well as addressing economic justice goals, such as ending energy poverty. One of this project's key points is financing new renewable energy generators, and this is where the social currency that the city of Barcelona is planning can play a very interesting role. I drafted the proposal that comes next and I shared with the economy and ecology groups, as well as the social currency group at Barcelona en Comú. In addition, this can also be framed in the working group on energy and climate change mentioned in the doc...

Las siguientes son las primeras conclusiones que he sacado de mi participación en las jornadas globales y abiertas a la participación de distintas ciudades del mundo, OSCEdays : Creado por la deportista Ellen MacArthur, el concepto de Circular Economy es una perspectiva ecologista que facilita un cambio masivo en los procesos industriales mundiales. El concepto sirve para ir a grandes empresas y convencerles o poco a poco exigirles a cambiar o por lo menos a ayudar a quienes lo hacen, cediendo espacios o recursos para las jornadas OSCE en otras partes del mundo por ejemplo. Mucho del contenido internacional de estas jornadas se centra en desarrollar " Challenges " o retos, de diseño, construcción y prototipado de soluciones grandes y pequeñas que transforman deshechos organicos en gas fertilizante , convierten deshechos urbanos en ladrillos , o crean baños públicos que reciclan nutrientes como fosfatos . Obviamente en Barcelona se puede ir mas lejos que en la...

Imagine an interface much like the Construct in the film The Matrix - where you can run your own local simulator for practice or training (not necessarily fighting agents) from your biblically named hovercraft or whatever your vessel may be at that point in life. So in it you can put all the actors, scenes and situations - as some describe in the experience of lucid dreaming, and put ourselves in them and experience them, or test out scenarios for what you will be doing in your work, or create imaginary environments and buy or create your own 3d spaces where these things take place, maybe sometimes inviting others to join in. Mostly though, it's just an extended interface with respect to today's touchscreens, mice and keyboards, for everyday use. Simulating is then freed from the domain of the dream so that we can imagine situations and train towards them. This was the intent of the Israeli army when they created the first army simulation that led to the first first perso...

Stasera sono andato a vedere Terroni O Eructos De Historia , di una compagnia teatrale italiana a Barcellona (con i sottotitoli proiettati sopra allo spettacolo, per chi guardava la versione in Spagnolo). Credo che con i media virtuali sono condizionato a non apprezzare la qualità di quello che vedo e il teatro mi ricorda che i greci ai loro tempi già potevano avere esperienze simili senza bisogno di tutti gli aggeggi di oggi, che riempiono il giorno. Invece sono stato circondato da suoni, voci, gesta reali per 2 ore di storia, politica, arte e metafora - tutto di ottima qualità, con della musica in chitarra che punteggiava i vari atti, Musica che mi piacerebbe avere e riascoltare con calma. La storia si centra sul momento della prima Europa industrializzata, in cui il regno delle due Sicilie venne distrutto e capovolto dall'unione dell'Italia coi suoi nuovi re. La gente fu uccisa, violentata, le fabbriche distrutte e colonne di profughi lasciarono la regione mentre i nuov...

Escribí estas propuestas ya hace varios meses y los publico aquí para poder ayudar a generar un debate sobre como poder acercar lo libertario, autogestionado, ecológico, igualitario - a barcelona en comú y poder crear vínculos que refuerzan y acercan a los movimientos reformistas y los revolucionarios - en el sentido de querer mejorar la sociedad actual o de tener una actitud "revolucionarla" hacia ello - osea no en el sentido de actuaciones violentas o centralizadas, pero de la profundidad y capacidad de penetración en la sociedad de las reformas o cambios que se intentan hacer. Para mas sobre revolución integral - aquí hay una pagina en su web . Todas estas propuestas vienen de la idea de que con un partido participativo en el ayuntamiento local se pueda lograr un municipalismo mas desde abajo y libre. No llegaremos al municipalismo libertario con un poder dual o autónomo del todo - desde abajo y desde arriba en colaboración, pero se puede aproximar o complementar fomenta...

This really long post is all notes put together from the past weeks and refers to the blog post a few weeks back (scroll down and you'll see it!) where I pitched the stories of various types of robot's adventures through a near future world, and some people suggested I do something with it. So I now have a Patreon page up and running to make the webcomic conceived in the last 3 posts here, and I've asked some more artists to join in, as well as having spent loads of evenings reading scripts by people like Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrisson. And I've written a draft comic script of some pages of the first chapter of the webcomic, but it's really basic and has hardly any dialogue. If you want to collaborate, I'll share it with you :) At some point they liberate a water starved place and storm a storage depot to access these bottles Why 10 episodes, 25 pages each? So in researching how a script might have to work, I tried to see the natural progression that...

As a side project that somehow makes sense, I've decided to organise the creation of a webcomic telling the story in the last blog post. Here is some more backstory and ideas. I've since met a visual artist with a great style that goes with the story and she's agreed to help get it going, but I'd like to find more artists, and more script writers to take over and make it a collaborative job. We'll make a site for it, and a patreon, and see what happens :) A Kinetic sculpture from gomi style . Initial drones encountered would be made from recycled tat (For the summary of the whole story, see the previous blog post!) Episodes: 1) Martina arrives to earth, Establishment of cyborg girl and martina character and relationship, "evil" drones and general poisonous situation on earth introduced. Flashbacks of mars backstory interspersed with their fight with the drones and escaping and hiding underground. Virtual world introduced: Freeda shows herself at t...
