Announcing the INTERNATIONAL CHIPTUNE RESISTANCE, an unprecedented global tour featuring low-bit tactical specialists Bit Shifter and Nullsleep. Equipped solely with Nintendo Game Boys and NES consoles, this two-man cell operates as a highly dangerous mobile chiptune assault unit. Deployment date: May 2006; mission objective: total chiptune conquest; and a mission trajectory encircling the entire world, with more than 20 strike points throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. The familiar beeps, clicks, and tones of obsolete game hardware, repurposed into arresting laser-guided melodies and low-res, hard-hitting precision rhythms — all delivered at high volume from standard-issue handhelds and home gaming consoles. The machines are small, the sound is gigantic, the scope is worldwide, the advance is unstoppable. Prepare your defenses.

A part de la música, les millors melodies Game Boy del moment, el millor d’aquesta gira és el mode de finançament:

HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN This around-the-world endeavor is entirely self-financed, and at the same time, among the most expensive undertakings we have attempted. For anyone in a position to help the cause, we are gratefully accepting donations. We have set our final goal at $3000. By donating, you will be helping us strike a victory not only for 8-bit music, but for independent music in general. The time is now —

Tothom parla de web 2.0, però el més interessant és la societat 2.0, aquesta que tira els intermediaris a les escombraries i es finança de la mateixa manera que la WikiPedia! :-)

De fet, aquesta és la vertadera autodeterminació, i no la de substituir un estat per un altre que funcionarà de la mateixa manera.

Parlant d’autodeterminació, he llegit a WorldChanging un article molt bo sobre el programari lliure i l’autodeterminació:

…we frequently build on the argument that the real value of Linux, and the free/libre/open source model in general, is that it enables previously technologically-dependent communities to build the tools that they need with their own skills, and become a global participant as a producer of ideas, not simply a consumer.

Aquesta és la independència que haurien de reclamar els modernillos independentistes, i no el sobiranisme del segle XIX. Volem català? Teixim xarxa catalana! Volem tecnologies alliberadores? Construim programari lliure! Volem música de qualitat, financem les nostres gires! Volem canviar el món, organitzem lluites a la Otpor! Volem comunicar-nos? Obrim blogs! Volem aprendre? Ensenyem-nos mútuament en xarxa!

Autodeterminació!
