Go Now! Install Freenet and look for the first track to find the Beautiful Warrior of Perception .» ( Secret note left behind from Variante just for you).Project: A FreeNet exploration-game (http://freenet.sourceforge.org). Its goal is to find deposits of digital freedom which have been left behind by Variante, a Warrior of Perception, on this new zone of on-line autonomy. Each player will be asked to search the Freenet system to find what Variante has left behind. Each secret treasure will lead not only to gaining an understanding of the Freenet architecture, but to participate in its development. Each secret treasure is a track left behind from the Warrior of Perception. Each track is a file stored in the freenet system (images, sounds, texts or html pages containing unimaginable secrets). The quest starts from a WWW site with gateways to Freenet. Each gateway allows you to upload or request files using a specific key that you should have. Keys are a random sequence of letters and numbers. They are generated by the system each time you upload a file and are the only means by which to retrieve files. Freenet keys are spread through word-of-mouth, email or links in other Freenet documents. Warriors of Perception: Search and Manifest also foregrounds questions about the new war against ‘gift culture’ on-line by neoliberal copyright engines and freedom of speech. It is of utmost importance that we become familiar and train with alternatives to the Web, in order to foreseee when freedom will be banished from the Net. A distributed architecture like Freenet is something that needs to be put forth as a solution for our code future, before this future becomes lost. The Freenet game is not a call for the autonomy of global capitalism, which offers no autonomy at all; it only offers autonomy to the commodity. It is a game that creates links between the arcs of realities lived everyday by those left outside the cyber-topia of capital, the multitude of the forth world. Variante, the first Warrior of Perception, comes from that world which is most lost to the global engine of Perception. The game calls for the re-wiring of the digital via the force for transmutations that rises from the most invisible bodies from below. The principles of decentralization, anonymity and fragmentation of files in meaningless data (ready to be reassembled on request), allow the developement of a new digital reality. The system of tracks and deposits of Freedom create a narrative structure. Development of new realities and digital narratives are at the living core of the project. The entire quest is huge, immersive and almost invisible poem in a freespace. GO! MAKE THE FUTURE NOW! MANIFEST YOUR SECRET FREEDOM! BECOME A WARRIOR OF PERCEPTION!
