M2M means from Migrant to Migrant.
M2M is a meeting point for migrants.
Like a camp fire.
Every migrant has a story, a message.

between there and here and here and there...
*Every migrant is a medium*.

Free Flow From Baghdad

Reclaiming the River

The Tigris is much more than just a streaming river: it is a cradle of civilisation, a stream of water for fishing, swimming, drinking, irrigation and dumping, hiding and shaving. And it may be a vehicle for anybody's imagination.

The artworks in the exhibition deal with the act of speaking, reading and writing. They particularly reflect on and emphasise the performative qualities of language and thus reveal the strong and inseparable connection between words' meaning and their performance/performer. In this fluid state, words fly and dance, thus enabling a mental dialogue between the artwork and its viewer/listener, and opening up to continuous interpretation.

In a society of communication and information the dealing with computer viruses belongs to every day digital life. I LOVE YOU explores computer virus history, its technical development, a visualisation of hidden processes and the aesthetic dimension of computer viruses.

A programming sourcecode written in C language defines iterations and logic flowing with a certain pattern; musical composition as well. a different notation means a different execution (multiple, if considered that the code can be executed on a computer …): through the algorithms variable names inspire the modality of musicians execution, crossing the borders between code-poetry and musical scores - source-score.

Lo stato dell'arte del Software Libero in Italia

Dalla realtà della pubblica amministrazione alla ricerca scientifica, dalla sicurezza informatica alla produzione audio-musicale, il libro restituisce uno spaccato aggiornato di questo mondo complesso e variegato. Le testimonianze di chi ha visto nascere e crescere il Software Libero in Italia si accompagnano ad analisi legali ed economiche e a proiezioni dei principi di base di questa nuova modalità di produzione e distribuzione ad altri settori, come l’Open Content. Un tassello decisivo per comprendere appieno il mosaico della rivoluzione informatica che in poco più di vent’anni ha cambiato profondamente la Società dell’Informazione, anche in Italia.

A critique of ambient technology and the all-seeing network of RFID

"Ambient intelligence" promises to create a global network of physical objects every bit as pervasive and ubiquitous as the worldwide web itself. Some are already calling this controversial network the "internet of things", describing it as either the ultimate convenience in supply-chain management, or the ultimate tool in our future surveillance. This network has the power to reshape our cities and yet it is being built with little public knowledge of consent…

The book represents a first tentative reconstruction of the history of artistic networking in Italy, through an analysis of the realities which during the past twenty years have given way to a creative, shared and aware use of technologies, from video to computers, contributing to the formation of Italian hacker communities.
