hacklab
A hacklab, or media hacklab, is an autonomous technology zone used for the promotion, use and development of emancipatory technologies such as free software and alternative media. Hacklabs promote active participation and creative use of technology, in contrast to the alienation and passive consumption that is usually associated with consumer computer technology or indeed commercial info-products in general. These spaces are often found in infoshops.
An equivalent but more specific concept, the mosk, is used in the opentroll software methodology. Another term, trollgnaw, is used to describe online debating zones. A mosk can be defined as a hacklab focused on any share alike process - not necessarily focused on technology alone but also on methods of dissent/liberation.
