DWeb Camp

Anthill is a metaphor for the world of structure and complexity that exists just beneath the surface of everything around us.

Imagine groups of people from different domains living together for a period of time... the location itself brings about an intermingling of thought-systems that would not have interacted otherwise. This inspires collaborations giving birth to eye-opening new productions and curation of existing narratives and annotations of real world objects at the location.

A deployment of a decentralized annotated WiFi-mesh with servers and services help annotate the anthill. Such an annotated anthill is inclusive and navigable by all. Anthillhacks is a week long event near Bangalore, India that explores content creation and dissemination for all participants - from techies to low-literate villagers.

What will You learn?
The talk brings relevance of a number of technologies to a context where there is a huge diversity of literacy and explores inclusive approaches of content creation during and after the event. We hope this talk provides a peek of the issues on the other side of world.
