Description

The Critical Decentralization Cluster at the Chaos Communication Congress 2017 (35C3) is an initiative started by RIAT and the Monero Community and has the following aims:

To critically discuss decentralisation in all its facets: thematizing privacy vs. transparency, private cryptocurrency, headless organisations, immutable code, future (code) governance and open vs. libre technologies.
To discuss Open Hardware, libre hardware and its limits.
To provide a space for exchange and outreach in the context of privacy technologies.
To foster interdisciplinary work and an inclusive practice to improve crypto-literacy as well as technological literacy.
To advocate critical projects and intitiatives in this context and to open them up to a larger audience of peers.
To test and create new workshops, materials and videos for media.ccc.de


The 35th Chaos Communication Congress (35C3) was the 2018 edition of the annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia organised by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) and volunteers.

The Congress offers lectures and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.
