Workshop
At Foyer Hub 3
Registration required.

During transmediale 2015, reSync will promote open synchronisation services and introduce a growing P2P exchange network of free media resources synchronised between those in London [own], Athens [awmn] and Berlin [freifunk] that sidestep the rising sense of network surveillance and preserve privacy whilst continuing to enjoy free media exchange in public and over free information infrastructures wherever they flourish.

Workshop participants will be able to claim a reSync ‘key’, print posters and press their own badges. Each featuring the unique QRcode to promote media stored on their smart phones, tablets and pc’s using Bit Torrent Sync app. Anyone then scanning the code or exchanging the key will be able to receive updates as new images texts and sounds are added during transmediale and therafter. See the howto for more details.
Each reSync is then automatically relayed across our international network nodes using Syncthing (floss) then available on open wireless networks in Athens, London and Berlin (so far!)

It is no secret that ‘pirate’ sites are amongst the most popular in the world. There are already huge numbers (hundred of millions) of P2P users, and the number continues to grow despite technical and legislative attempts to slow or censor P2P technologies. Media industries are quite unwilling to accept the inevitability of filesharing as a significant, if not the most significant, global media distribution system.

Join Adnan Hadzi and James Stevens in the foyer to make sync code badges and configure your media, message and phone things to reSync All at the festival.
