Cityborg
Cityborg is a virtual public space functioning as a meeting and discussion platform on New Technologies, Open Source and Urban Creativity.
Cityborg is a cultural project, born in Barcelona, oriented to build an open digital platform to generate social networks in our mediated environments. Our open bases are the cityborg distro, a gnu/linux distribution (OS), and the related internet node, cityborg.net.
The roots of cityborg are nurtured by the energy and growing dynamics of 'collective of collectives' in Barcelona's underground. in this 'primordial soup' we feel the need for a new cultural tool that synthesyze and contribute to the new cultural movement (free software, urban explorers, diyers, hackivists...).
