Satelitteless movement
Artisans of bits and volts, humanist poets, nomadic scientists – where are we going? I trust in the pulse of your steps, our revolution is the next second, and the constant challenge is not to surrender to the conformity of being entertained or entertaining: distracting the fact that we want to live beyond history, walls, banks, genetic similarity. We want an ecosystem that is worth of all this Prometheic pyrotechinic – this being, which is supposed to be Sapiens. Some intelligent symbiosis to keep this flame heating an harmonic environment.
But, if today we still looking at some of us marching for a piece of land to survive or alienating their most creative instincts in a desperate search for exist inside a culture of self-destructive consumption, we have to ask: What’s the role of those sheltered and fed in thinking about an autonomy in knowledge and information transmition for those efforts that wants revert this pulsion of humanity self-destructive greed?
The conjecture of this manifesto is inside a function pointing to a cracking sparkle at the horizon: The day we will be able to build our first handmade satellite and send it to this sidereal space wich is already full of corporative and governamental devices. Will our satellite be able to transform our networks in something more autonomous? Or we have to re-think all technocracy to reach that by a tottaly different path? How?
We’re more than technocracy guinea pigs!
Dreaming and dancing: the march of the Satelitteless..

The Satelitteless movement was founded in Brazil in 2008 by a group of artist intereded in free software and social movements (2). The name of the movement is a tribute to the Movement of Rural Landless Workers established in the seventies in Brazil with the aim of redistributing unproductive lands in the hands of small groups of society to avoid the impoverishment of peasants (4) ) and the Movement of the Homeless that for three years occupied a tower in the center of Sao Paulo where numerous families lived (2). The Satelitteless movement proposes civil disobedience actions while fighting for freedom of communication (5).
