27th and 28th of February, 2004, Muffathalle, München NEURO - Networking Europe Mass protest at big manifestations is only one answer
to globalisation. Political activists have in the last years also been
establishing numerous big international networks. New technologies have
played an important role in this process of linking every kind of grassroots
movements to similar groups elsewhere, individuals to huge NGOs, universities
to artists and local initiatives to the world. Many artists, activists
and theorists involved in the networks meet in Munich at the end of February.
Now that everybody is connected, we are waiting for social change
