The scope of the
Multitude Project is to set up the Multitude movement. In other words, we try to understand how the new technology is changing the power structure in modern societies, we build a new vision for a brighter future, and we propose a path towards this future, whereby the potential introduced by the new technology is actualized to the advantage of the multitude. We
believe strongly in the power of the people. The society we live in belongs to
us and must be shaped to include the needs of the great majority and to protect
the rights of minorities. Change is clearly on the way, in the natural
direction of the emancipation of masses, a trend which can be easily recognized
throughout history. Major institutions will be greatly transformed in the near
future due to immense pressure mainly induced by rapid technological
advancements. Our goal is to predict some of these changes and to inform both
sides, the population as well as the ruling class of the potential dangers,
hoping to channel the change into a peaceful incremental revolution. Along with the aforementioned exploratory and speculative
activities, we also propose new methods and tools, to help
individuals and groups all around the world in their daily struggle against
injustice and economical inequality. More about the Multitude Project |
