Grant #1

MESH

February 18, 2013

OUR FIRST AWESOME GRANTEE!!! We couldn’t be more excited to support Mesh, a documentary about community-owned Internet & the future of networks.

Mesh: Highlights from a documentary in progress from becky kazansky on Vimeo.

Currently in production, Mesh centers around a group of people creating independently-run community wireless networks through mesh Wi-Fi, a bandwidth-sharing technology emblematic of the desire to create spontaneous, living alternatives to decaying infrastructure and centralized systems of control.

An independent project initiated for Becky Kazansky’s thesis at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU, Advisors of Mesh include Heather Greer, Clay Shirky, and Red Burns. Learn more here.
