From Montreal Anarchist Tech Convergence
MESH DAY @ Constellation 2025!
Monday May 19th
We invite anarchists to come and learn about various mesh networking technologies and how we can use them in our struggles.
Amid the crushing destruction wrought by the sprawling military-industrial complex and the recuperation of the hack by capitalist tech bros, anarchist resistance exists within the cadaverous monster of Leviathan itself.
The Montreal Anarchist Tech Convergence is an opportunity for anarchists to discuss and explore the potential roles of technology in our lives and struggles. Let's learn about security best practices, self-hosted autonomous ways of connecting and finding each other, and media projects that allow us to form international communities of solidarity and how to build stuff out of garbage left behind by capitalism.
The Montreal Anarchist Tech Convergence presents a day of mesh networking workshops at Foulab. ...and a MOVIE NIGHT!

Movie DOUBLE FEATURE 6pm - 9pm
1. Machine in Flames
"In 1980s Toulouse, an elusive group began bombing computer companies. ‘CLODO’ disappeared after three years, without ever being caught or ever to be heard of again. Two film makers launch an investigation into CLODO, looking for answers, motivations and identities, but are soon frustrated by a collective that struck in the dead of night, leaving in their tracks only ashes and the sporadic line of cryptic graffiti. The film combines archival traces, a viral desktop choreography, and late-night video recordings of CLODO’s targets into a meditation on computation, destruction, and the lure of archives."
2. Johnny Mnemonic
"Keanu Reeves is a cyberpunk courier with a hard drive full of contrband in his head. Ice-T is the leader of an anarcho-primitivist anti-tech street gang. Henry Rollins is a cyborg-dolphin wrangler. Based on a story by William Gibson."
Foulab is a Montreal hackerspace located at Suite 33B, 999 du College H4C 2S3
