as 🔗hackbase-type1:


   

"Liquid shared rented house"




    → 🔗CHT1 (December 2011 - June 2014)


From the original announcement:
    """
    The base is in Lanzarote, Canary Islands (wiki, map), a UNESCO protected 40x20km Spanish island 100km West off Africa. It seemed a good idea to spend winters living in a constant 20°C average climate, with year-long ocean swimming.
    Canonical hackerspace design says that "people shouldn't ever sleep there", but hackbases take the ethos a step further. Hackerspaces are only hobbyist places, while hackbases aim to be fully integrated institutions, reinventing the basic ways to live & work.
You won't need regular paid work nearly as much. Life beyond nuclear families in rented apartments you can never afford to buy, and work for hierarchical for-profit corporations (startups etc), by rediscovering old counter-culture recipes and exploring new patterns in architecture, agriculture and information technologies; random psychedelia parties, and exploring nature. Basically, like in 1972, but with an industrial model that's not selling sea shell jewelry.
    If you want to come around just get a cheap flight. Anyone can stay here on a micro-budget, build up and use the lab and workshop, co-curate the e-archive of books, films and music, hang out, focus on your projects, and connect them into the general theory/practice of the space, plus whatever's specifically going on then. Includes great local food, the weather and the nature (ocean, volcanoes and desert).
