Nulture: The Convergence of nerds and culture, and a powerful, growing force as a majority of the population activily seeks to assimilate and apply advanced technology
(Wired June 1997, A glossary for Age of Access, Speak the Future)
Attitude Nulture is an. (.an/onymous an.ti-) .organization working in between net-nerdism and culture. It was originally founded in Finland but is active internationally today.
As the net continues to affect more and more the everyday life everywhere in the world the communication between net activists and other society must be enpowered. The free zero-culture of zero-gravity cyberspace and the heavyweight established culture of the real world have a lot to learn from each other but lack a common language. Therefore we need interpreters: Active people with attitude who are bilingual in this sense and feel comfortable in both of these worlds they are familiar with.
The an-members are trying to experiment and study this yet quite unknown field. These actions may sometimes require an.onymity, so we are willing to provide it.
We need all the help you have to offer. Possible contributions include translating (all languages), art of all kinds, writing reports, essays etc. and sharing information and technical resources. We wish not to be restricted in information technology but get different points of views based on, just to mention few, social sciences, biotechnology, history, literature, psychology and theatre, dance and other performing arts.
Your own thoughts and actions are the most important so if you have any interest in these matters please let us know! Currently as a non-profit (actually non-income) organization we are not able to pay for anything. Sponsorship and other funding is considered.
We are happy to hear of everything related and to answer your questions so donšt hesitate to contact us!
