WELCOME TO THE PROJECT CIRCULATIONS

 


 

This site contains illustrations, comments, texts on ‘price-less’ sharing of commodities and information, collective efforts, and collaborative innovations.
We collected these ideas at give away and copy shops held at rum46 in Aarhus.
We asked visitors to sketch ideas for strategies to call the hegemony of the current system into question. At these events we also brought ingredients to cook soup that we handed out for free.

The project function as an accessible forum for sharing ideas and creating contacts.
It is open to people who want to present ideas on open networks; how to construct sustainable currencies or communities; how to subvert or overcome subjugations one is exposed to in everyday life; how to establish counter strategies to the monetary profit based economic systems; how to construct models of free information, free distribution, free housing and more.

This site features a complete survey of these ideas. The ideas are both purely pragmatic as well as utopian.

Feel free to download and copy!

or send us your own idea to share.

Illustration of Collectively organized workshop
 
”Fleicherei is a collectively organized printing workshop
in Berlin, where I used to work. The members produce
individual prints but half of what they produce goes into
the collective stock and is sold in the shop. What they
earn from the sale is used for common material and
activities.”
