Talk by Felix Stalder (World-Information Institute), recorded of the live-broadcast from Stadtwerkstatt, Linz (AT) on 25.5.2012, duration: 48:55

Where does this contradictoriness of the networks come from? What can we do to expand the niches of autonomy without facilitating the processes of control?
