Democratic processes have been quite ineffective in recent times, don't you agree? It's time to change to One Click-Democracy. Leave behind your out-moded street activism, public demonstrations and megaphones. Now activism can be carried out comfortably from your armchair. Embrace the new era of armchair-activism with Repetionr.com!

 

Part 1 – Democracy and Partcipation in the Web 2.0 Era
Franco Berardi (BIFO) will introduce a critique of emergent forms of democracy on the internet and explore the gap between perceived and real effectiveness of online participation, and the fantasies of political involvement.
Part 2 – Inside Repetitionr.com
