I was introduced to alternative workspaces like the ASCII squat in
the early 2000's. The Amsterdam Subversive Centre for Information
Interchange was an anarchist infoshop & internet cafe. I thought
it was one of the fucking coolest thing ever. A place to teach and
be taught, share ideas & information outside of traditional
schooling (which I had long dropped out of).<br>
<br>
I continued reading about spaces like c-base and Hacker Houses, and
eventually when the 'hackerspace' term caught on, I dove right in
and didn't look back.<br>
<br>
I still think they're one of the fucking coolest things ever.<br>
