Zine Archive is the only part of 'kurwydomowe particpative platform' which endure till now.
The principal project's idea was to answer the current (2006/07) situation in Poland, where
the 'free culture' idea was rarely represented inside of alternative movements.
Creation of the participatory structure to society and culture where all members are free to participate without artificial limits on who can or in which way can participate, without limit of creativity and innovation, with communication and free expression, public access to knowledge and citizens civil liberties, was adopted more inside if artistic or academic environment in Poland than alternative one.
At present the people cross-over the world more and more often. Because of long distances, different countries, the physical direct contact become more difficult. The most common place where many people tried to come were festivals or manifestation, but now third circulation independent publication - not accessible on-line - start to be not available for ones, who cannot be flexible with times and distances. The prices of diy releases ordered by post are triple cause of delivery costs...
Through making access available for everyone to the digital technology and the
Internet, everyone can place the tools of creation and distribution, communication and collaboration, teaching and learning into the hands of the common person. On-line access to the culture makes possible copying and disseminating of the materials letting them create them themselves.
The basis of
a free self organized society is exchanging our capacity between us. Why don't we use the possibilities created by the internet to do so? Without any borders, any gender and different separation, any hierarchy, any power, authority, and declaring the hegemonic culture to be
a false one?
