What follows should, eventually, lead into a piece discussing conflict-resolution in open communities, and the handling of authoritarian mentalities. The sheer power of hierarchy-assuming or hierarchy-constructing exclamations of 'no' is always surprising to me. As is the arrogance, the injustice, the power-plays it contains, as is the speed, the insensitivity, and the ease with which… Continue reading openness, democracy, hack66, Phygital, and ellak.org.cy

not(es) on participation [on writing (on art) in the first person]
I wrote this for NeMe, mid-2016 It's one of my free-est texts, and it connects my thinking about art, tech, and openness into a kind of politics of civic participation, locating experimental comments on this in the Cypriot arts. Here it is in full / to be occasionally updated. Caption: A piece by Natalie Yiaxi,… Continue reading not(es) on participation [on writing (on art) in the first person]
intro to techno-cultural studies
I really enjoyed putting together this teaching sample
SpaceApps 2015 (Tefkros has my notes)
So without the notes I probably have a better chance at getting at what's important. The first thing to say is that I'm excited. Despite my distance this year from the challenges, from the teams, from really helping the volunteers out, it was again an awesome thing to be a part of. One thing I… Continue reading SpaceApps 2015 (Tefkros has my notes)

Dimos’s Εxodus: Γενικά για το open source, το κυπριακό start-up culture, και τα κοινά / Υφέρποντες ιδεολογικοί παράγοντες και δυστοπικές κατευθύνσεις
Με τον Δήμο (Dimos Dennis) γνωριστήκαμε στο SpaceApps2013 και αρχίσαμε να μιλούμε πραγματικά κατά τη διάρκεια του SpaceApps2014. Είχε το ρόλο του μέντορα και στα δύο events, και η προσέγγιση του στο δεύτερο ήταν να είναι διακριτικά διαθέσιμος, ενώ ταυτόχρονα είχε ετοιμάσει ένα συγκεντρωτικό σύστημα διάθεσης των datasets της NASA για χρήση από όσους θέλαν… Continue reading Dimos’s Εxodus: Γενικά για το open source, το κυπριακό start-up culture, και τα κοινά / Υφέρποντες ιδεολογικοί παράγοντες και δυστοπικές κατευθύνσεις
Towards a culture of openness: afterthoughts on the first hackathon in Cyprus OR Self-organisation initiatives and their adoption of models of openness in Cyprus between 2011 and 2012
This google document is in progress. It started as some thoughts on hack{cyprus}*12 and turned into a piece on openness. The Cyprus Dossier said they’d be happy to publish it as soon as it’s finalised. This isn’t likely to happen any time soon, nor does it make sense to put it in a form that… Continue reading Towards a culture of openness: afterthoughts on the first hackathon in Cyprus OR Self-organisation initiatives and their adoption of models of openness in Cyprus between 2011 and 2012
