ASCII (NL): www.squat.net/ascii
ASCII (Amsterdam Subversive Code for Information Exchange) is a non-commercial space run by volunteers with salvaged or donated equipment-a squatted "cybercafe," providing free computer facilities and internet access.

Life Sharing is 0100101110101101.ORG's personal computer turned into a real time sharing system. Any visitor has free and unlimited access to all contents: texts, images, software, 01's private mail. One can get lost in this huge data maze. Based on Linux, Life Sharing is a brand new concept of net architecture turning a website into a sheer personal media for complete digital transparency. Permanent infotainment pioneering the peer to peer mass diffusion. Privacy is stupid.
