about the process of definitions etc....

Recombinant Networks

             by Ricardo Dominguez

             Recombinant networks must attempt to work on a polyspacial levels
by
             whatever means necessary. Los redes are already moving across the
soft
             architectures of technoculture openning spaces of digital
activism. These
             networks as Tamara has pointed out need to promote low-bandwith
             access for local nodes and auto-translation programs for all. We
must also
             be able to create a digital infrasturcture that moves within
different spacial
             zones. Between no-tech, lo-tech and hi-tech that can slip between
media
             forms, time zones, and geographic locations.

             Recombinant networks must also continue to do research into the
use of
             speed and singularities. As Stefan has argued--we must also allow
our
             configurations to include nomadic individuals and micro-groups to
gain
             access to as many T1's as possible. To provide the networks with
a
             hyper-backbone infrastructure that can offer radical democratic
flows an
             arena of contestation that can face the electronic bunkers head
on.

             We are always/already bound to a difficult course, that will
become even
             more difficult down the road--so yes let us gather
