LocalNet Adventure!!

Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Hate The Internet

Inspired by Druv Mehrota's Othernet, Dan Phiffer's Occupy.here, and the wifi art of the Third Space Collective, this workshop/alternate reality game will have participants engage with and explore a simulated infrastructure of local networks as a means to imagine internet alternatives in a post-internet reality. After we finish playing we will have a group discussion on the internet's place in our lives and steps we can take to improve it. Along the way participants will learn some useful command line skills and the basics of network infrastructures. This workshop is appropriate for all audiences and skill levels, but will involve some walking around (no leaving the building though).
