CYBERHIPPIETOTALISM is a theoretical & practical counter-culture platform, currently establishing a series of European hacker live-in labs-residences.


CHT#1 was set up in December 2011 on Lanzarote, Canary Islands. We thought it would be a good idea to spend winters in a 20°C, year-long ocean swimming climate. Endless summer;)

CHT#2 might be set in Berlin DE/London UK/Ljubljana SI/Western Sahara/?


Contra The_Roommate_Anti-Pattern: While other hackerspaces are just places to go to "in your spare time" or "after work", CHT overpowers the life-work dichotomy by also being a hip crashpad, and cooking nutritious food.

(Kind of like what the hippie communes did, but beyond 1972 this time.)

Integrating theory, technology research & development, and artistic tendencies, + living in the middle of all that, CHT is going for an "all-in" experimental platform, towards futuristic models of men-technology coexistence. Forget 20th century life & social practices, pretend it's 2027 and rock out.

[edit] Getting here, staying here

CHT is an open space for visitors & accepting projects-residents. Crowd-governed to maximize quality & minimize expenses, you can fully subsist here for approximately 10€ daily / 300€ monthly contribution (food+stay, see details here).

There's generally space available all the time. The Lanzarote island has a fine airport with cheap flights available from everywhere in the EU. (Roundtrips from all across Europe are <200€).
