A number of independent community media projects set up by a group of cultural producers, radio programme makers and software developers, using their eclectic mix of computer-technical knowledge and social interests.
The main goal of Platoniq is to bring the internet to the streets, drawing inspiration from diverse networking strategies to develop collective pilot experiences and research in urban contexts. It includes a space dedicated to knowledge transfer and mutual education.
Since 2003, Platoniq has collaborated with the Barcelona Centre of Contemporary Culture. Over the last years, they have been awarded two international prizes for their project Burn Station in the Transitio Festival in Mexico D.F. and the Transmediale Festival of Digital Culture in Berlin. They are currently producing the project “Banco Común de Conocimientos” (Bank of Common Knowledge), a space of collective action based on the transfer of knowledge and mutual education.
