[p2p-research] feral trade outside commercial networks

[Ruth Catlow]

Dear Sepp and Michel,

We were honoured to host the first exhibition of Feral Trade as a
working cafe, here at HTTP Gallery in North London in 2009.

This page gives links to photos and a short video about the show.

Watch out for the charismatic suppliers of locally made cake; )

We especially like Kate's work because it works on the imagination of
all who get involved while defying formulas and massification.

If you are still hungry for more you can read about the exhibition here

cheers
Ruth

ps. I recommend the Feral Trade drinking chocolate - yum!

Dear Sepp, feral trade sounds like a fascinating concept and practice
that we should support, and I'm hoping you can report on this for our
p2p foundation blog ...
 
Kate is the organizer, ruth has done it I believe .. (Kate: see below

The Feral Trade Courier is a live shipping database for a freight
network running outside commercial systems. The database offers
dedicated tracking of feral trade products in circulation, archives
every shipment and generates freight documents on the fly.
