********** SPACE STATUS UPDATE, FEBRUARY 2017

Truco.space (hackerspace) started as an idea in June 2016, that came out of Cyberhippietotalism (http://totalism.org, a hackbase since 2011). It was named and initiated by me personally, with immediate support by Matic Potočnik. After this, other people have been invited to collaborate, especially 2 ("X" and Luis) were relatively active. In a matter of weeks, some support in the form of (non-formal) members, and a space in Argana Alta - some of you have visited it - has been offered, accepted, and developed.

*** "TRUCO.SPACE #1" : June 2016 - September 2016
The space in Argana Alta was a matter of quite a lot of work to set up. Performed especially by Matic and me personally (>75% in terms of all hours spent at the space). Some of you became (non-formal) members, and we collected some (non-formal) memberships. The space closed in September - when we left the island, because we only live on the island temporarily, about 1/3 of the time. The other 2 prominent local members retreated in early 2017 for personal reasons, and one of them is also the proprietor of the space. So the space was "officially" closed, with all Cyberhippietotalism equipment moved out, in January 2017.

*** "TRUCO.SPACE" ASSOCIATION
A Spanish association was also started, and made official in ~October 2016. The status of this is currently unknown to me, but I am interested to continue its direction in the future. I will be investigating with the other two trusted formal co-founders if that is an option.

*** FUTURE
The idea and its manifesto of "TRUCO.SPACE Lanzarote hackerspace / open laboratory" is still relevant to me personally, and to Cyberhippietotalism as a support entity. The outline of the project, written on http://truco.space, is still available, and open to any interested future collaborators. Currently, I am not actively looking for a space in Lanzarote, but this might change in the future.
I will also support (personally and with Cyberhippietotalism) any other open initiatives in the fields of open technology, avantgarde art/theory/politics.

Thanks,

********** ARCHIVE ("TRUCO.SPACE #1")


How to visit // CLOSED

Looking for new members and visitors.



Basic idea

[   ] means, Was not done yet in Truco Space #1.

Start a shared & open technology space:
    * somewhere in Arrecife
    * rent: max 400€ / month
    * 24/7 open to keyholders, which is all contributors
    * can be outside of center or coast
    * should be 10 minutes walking from Charco / Calle Real


Purpose:

    1) space serves as Lanzarote technology scene hotspot:
            * for small meetings and coordination
            * for regular presentations and events
            * coworking: sit down and work for a few hours
            * a space to have semi-personal meetings in a public context
            * after-party "chill" space (as all clubs in Arrecife close ~3:30am, it would be nice to have a decompress place)
    
    2) ... as a DIY center ("do-it-yourself"):
        * with basic tools available for new projects & repairing things
        * a community of capable people helping each other
        * a hackerspace = share + work with technical equipment
    
    3) ... as a Medialab / new media art center

    4) independent center for journalism, press, and investigative media

    5) center for fabrication / "fab lab" and material reprocessing

    6) car mechanic workshop
