Geek Feminism Wiki Feminist.com BefriendAGeek.com - Make a friend this Christmas Blogs Etrangers Féminisme 2.0 Le féminisme a-t-il pris la mesure du Web ? A l’image de ses figures les plus reconnues, il y semble encore marginal, décalé, en proie à de grandes difficultés pour se faire entendre. Et pourtant, il tisse sa toile, petit à petit. Les hommes et les femmes font l’info Partons de deux questions simples : lorsqu’on veut s’informer sur le féminisme, ses actions ou ses structures, où doit-on chercher sur Internet ? Peut-on trouver des sites qui ont véritablement un traitement égalitaire de l’information ? Le féminisme militant en ligne est sans doute le reflet du mouvement qu’il veut représenter : pluriel, ramifié, éclaté en multiples groupes ou initiatives qui lui donnent une certaine vitalité tout en le rendant difficilement lisible. C’est l’objectif d’Egalité Infos, site généraliste créé par Caroline Flepp en septembre 2010. Si Caroline Flepp aime à penser que son nouveau projet va occuper un espace encore inoccupé, ce n’est pas exactement le cas.
Schemes | artsdigitalera (Grants / Residency's / Funding / Scholarship) You can learn more about the background behind the strategy by reading the research paper. This outlines four strands which interconnect at the heart of artistic practice; Audiences, Domains, Incomes and Support. From this, we have identified two pilot schemes, experimenting with new models of on-the-ground support (Geek in Residence) and new commissions (Digital Culture Fund). The Geek in Residence pilot program connects ‘geeks’ (by which we mean technically confident artists and creatively confident technicians) with arts organisations through a temporary subsidised secondment scheme. The Digital Culture Fund is a pilot initiative for people who have been working creatively with digital technologies for some time. The purpose of this fund is to support the creation of innovative digital artwork which might happen physically in front of the crowd or be experienced through a technological platform. UPDATE: A second call for the Digital Culture Fund opened Thursday 12 August 2010.
Geek 10 most incredible geeky houses There’s no stopping a true geek with passion and a dream. For a little Friday fun we scoured the web looking for the most impressive, geek-inspired homes around the world, settling on this list of the top 10 coolest geeky houses. The first on the list was this Hobbit-inspired home built and lived in by a family somewhere in England. The walls and roof are made of mud and straw, cooking is done with gas and food is kept cold year-round in a 6-foot hole in the ground. Now we fully realize that this is not a real house that people live in but it has parts that are in a house and it is definitely geeky. Take a look at this apartment which was transformed by Tony Alleyne of London into a Star Trek Voyager-themed home. It took him about 3 years to complete and not only does it look the part but a lot of it works too, with a AEI security system, voice-activated lights, working light modules and special cooling systems to give it a space-ship feel.
