Homage at Milestone 2015

Many of the names of streets and squares reminiscent of historical figures which have major importance for that municipality, country or even globally.
Homage is a reminder to all those who have or have had a role in which today it is the space where we travel longer, the network. They have warned of the importance of knowing the terms and conditions of our transit, their consequencies, the right to privacy and the power of information and the free knowledge.

3 names have named symbolically three spaces in the city of Girona in the Milestone Festival from 25 to 29 June. Their location is not accidental, closely linked with those principles or reports claiming three people engaged in advocacy as freedom and ethics in the era of virtuality.

Edward Snowden (Constitution Square)
“Citizens have the power to decide if they will sacrifice their privacy for the supervision of the State”

Julian Assange (Independence Square)
“Internet is a gigantic machine intelligence in the service of power. We must fight this trend and turn it into an engine of transparency for the public, not only for the powerful.”

Aaron Swartz (Liberty Avenue )
“Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves”.
