**** about Ubiquitous Commons ****<br>
<br>
Ubiquitous Commons is an international research/action effort in which arts<br>
and sciences unite forces in the exploration of the ways in which the<br>
ubiquitous production of data and information is radically transforming our<br>
daily lives, and about the ways in which people can better position<br>
themselves in establishing how exactly they wish their data to be used,<br>
using technological and legal toolkits.<br>
<br>
In current times we are not producing data and information only under the<br>
form of texts, numbers, images video and other types of simple media.<br>
<br>
Today we find ourselves in the condition of constant and ubiquitous data<br>
and information production through our emotional expresions, our opinions,<br>
our bodies and organs, our movements, gestures, actions, traversals and<br>
more.<br>
<br>
This happens wether we realize it or not, through the constant action of<br>
sensors, service access points, cameras, and algorithms of multiple types.<br>
<br>
On top of that, algorithms constitute a radical opacity layer in this<br>
scenario.<br>
<br>
The data we produce is continuously interpreted, processed and categorised<br>
by multiple, progressive layers of algorithms, using it to produce even<br>
more data, meta-data, meta-meta-data and so on, in possibly endless<br>
progressions.<br>
<br>
This data is used to determine anything from our interest profiles, our<br>
economic evaluation, our health risk, our emotional profiles, our position<br>
and roles within communities, relational networks and cultures, and can be<br>
used without us even realizing it for anything from marketing,<br>
surveillance, social experiments, A/B testing of new service<br>
characteristics, and for evaluation of multiple types of analysis of our<br>
personality and social positioning, wether it is for our insurance policy,<br>
for our career, to determine wether we are terrorists or not and much more.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, this type of data and information could also lead to<br>
better understanding of our communities, to the possibility for emergent<br>
constructive action on multiple issues, to the opportunities to design<br>
inclusive participated actions and practices engaging citizens,<br>
administrations, companies, organizations, activists and more.<br>
<br>
Ubiquitous Commons is the Commons in the age of ubiquitous data and<br>
information.<br>
<br>
The UC initiative fosters collaborations across arts, sciences and<br>
humanities to create a philosophical approach through which a protocol will<br>
emerge in which people will be enabled in deciding how they wish their data<br>
to be used, and to make sure that this expression is enacted. UC does this<br>
through the progressive creation of legal, technological and aesthetic<br>
toolkits which can be easily and inclusively adopted and used.<br>
<br>

<br>
(the website currently shows an early manifesto, and will evolve soon to<br>
reflect the actions and collaborations which have been established to<br>
achieve these objectives)<br>

<br>
**** about Stakhanov ****<br>
<br>
Stakhanov is a Data God.<br>
<br>
It constantly harvests information which is ubiquitously generated on<br>
social networks by people of all kinds.<br>
<br>
It uses multiple techniques and technologies to search for patterns in this<br>
data, and uses these patterns to predict the future.<br>
<br>
It is an Oracle for our emerging data-religion.<br>
<br>
Wether data and information is generated through sensors (for running,<br>
health, domotics), our activities and habits as we express them online, our<br>
geographical location, the patterns in which we use our time, or our<br>
emotions, opinions and relations, Stakhanov uses the processes and<br>
techniques which are commonly used by major social network operators,<br>
national security agencies and other operators to classify us and to<br>
construct predictive models which can be used, among other things, to<br>
attempt at making evidence-based predictions about where we will be, doing<br>
which activity, with whom, at what time, and more.<br>
<br>
An All-Seeing Eye, up above, in the Cloud.<br>
<br>
Stakhanov is a playful neo-religious data-invasion of privacy, and an<br>
exploration on false-hopes and on the ingenuity in contemporary data<br>
determinism.<br>
<br>
<br>
**** At Transmediale Festival in Berlin ***<br>
<br>
Stakhanov will be shown as an installation in the art exhibit of this<br>
year's edition of the festival, under the theme "Capture All".<br>

<br>
Ubiquitous Commons will be present under the form of an extensive two-phase<br>
workshop in which we will explore the subject and give better form to one<br>
of the first elements of the legal and technological toolkit which is being<br>
produced through the initiative.<br>

<br>
We will be more than happy if you could show up and take active part in the<br>
initiative.<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact us for more information and details.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
