Pre-fab Man Meets the Invisible City
Are you turning your Edwardian dilapidated dwelling into a pirate media ship? Could you say of wherever you lay your mobile phone 'that's my home'? Do you ever get the feeling your supermarket is watching you? Do you associate public space with franchised cappuccino bars? Have you heard of airlines' new deportation class? Do you aspire to live out of town, in the city centre or in cyburbia?

Bittorrent guide

Bittorrent is a protocol for networked file transfer (file-sharing) via the internet. Bittorrent is economical in terms of bandwidth use, because the load of uploading the file is distributed across the network of users.

In collaboration with MUTE magazine this Wiretap examines the old German saying 'Die Stadtluft macht frei' or the city air liberates. Dating from medieval times, the city was seen as the place where notions of freedom, citizenship and independence could come to fruition. However, is the urban condition still considered as a means that can stimulate and accelerate social and cultural change? In short: Macht die Stadtluft noch immer frei?
