This discussion expressed the need to transform the social imagination that includes a realistic view of oppression and discrimination against women, work-place struggles and the struggle for self-determination.

How do we give visibility to projects that valorise the creative, relational and affective side of labour and different paths of liberation with and through technologies that are not a utopian lie about the human condition?

Too many people are ardently wedded to a myth of themselves, their aspirations are inside a closed feedback loop. Web-design students think that they will be rich and famous in 7 years! 'Fame' is an interesting area that is changing at the moment because of new media. The hype of self exploitation is vivid and the utopia of becoming eventually what we hope for is a lie.

There is an elimination of certain discourses, where there are many parallels with the art world and also with conventional old media e/g. patterns of deregulation, work contracted out and lots of freelance workers.

In regard to racial and gender issues there is general blindness, many women are using pregnancy as excuse to stop working. How can we see the reality of this? An example could be to show alternatives to corporate production such as networks of collective and shared production of knowledge and information, forms of organisation inspired by the free/open source-software model, co-operative and creative work that demand basic social income.
