My place, your place, our places. This city is full of spaces which are trying to survive conformism. Owned, rented or squatted this spaces show us that stuff can be done in different ways. We meet each other to learn how to go forward together building new worlds. But where are they? How do you find out 'whats going on in OUR london' ?
This posters, the Infousurpa, are created to help organize ourselves better, to find out what we are all doing, and also so that everyone and anyone who walks through our streets and sees these posters can know about it too. We want to show week by week the activities that are going to happen in our social centres. Because knowledge of 'others' can create the web that makes us move, and moving is creating together. When we make this knowledge available the spaces seem get closer, and when we are close together, solidarity between us is going to be stronger.
Every Tuesday, in the mornings, we will collate the posters using the facilities at Larc. We will gather the information that people have sent in and we'll put it all together. Then in the afternoon, it will be printed; and people will come and meet to share their posters, leaflets, etc.we will take the Infousurpa back to our space and neighborhood to be posted on the front door of the house, in walls, etc and in the display windows of friendly bookshops, cafes and the like. It'd be great if wherever we go in londonium, we can find a wall who displays the puzzle that takes shape in our worlds. Our new ways to MOVE forward.

I hope there will soon be a website that lists all the info too? I know mute have been working on a drupal-for-publish-on-demand-app that might be of use. I know the people hacking the code for them if you need a link up, otherwise just speak to Simon at mute.
Also, it would be a great idea to post the details on
Hope to and expect to see this idea expand and replicate quickly :)
(It will certainly motivate me to drop off relevant info and materials at LARC :) )

Still be good to see the info posted in lots of other places on the web too (apologies in adcanve if this is already happening, since I've not actually checked yet :) )
Also, I just had another thought/question: how are these pdfs being generated?
I'm sure lots of people (myself included) would be interested in getting hold of any templates/software that you might be using to make the job easier.
Thanks and see you one Tuesday soon...
Josef.
