Daniel García Andújar (Spain, 1966) began his artistic activity in the late eighties, working mainly in the field of video, in projects of intervention in public spheres on the topics of racism and xenophoby, as well as the misuse of technology in sureveillance systems. After familiarising himself with computer resources and their interactive possibilities, since the year 1996 he has been developing the project entitled Technologies To The People® (TTTP), which has led to further developments, both in the net and with physical media (exhibitions, installations, CD-ROMs). TTTP is housed in irational.org, a web site created by the "anartivist" Heath Bunting and gathered in selections of net art such as Some of my Favourite Websites are Art and Beyond Interface. Other physical presentations of the aforementioned project have taken place in the framework of shows such as Un-Frieden/Discord: Sabotage of Realities (Hamburg), Desde la imagen (Valencia), Scattered Affinities (New York and Madrid), Reservate der Sehnsucht (Dortmund), Threats and Promises of Electronic Art (Vigo), and in the individual exhibition interface@metronom.es (Barcelona).

Technologies To The People® is a work in progress. It's a metaphor about the use of technologies while acting as a public provocation, I am creating a virtual company that exists only as an artist project, it operates really for the rest of society. Technologies To The People' works with the media infrastructure of corporate companies Technologies To The People' usually sponsors art events in its representation policies. (Daniel García Andújar,1996)

Technologies To The People® is aimed at people in the so-called Third World as well as the homeless, orphaned, expatriated or unemployed, at fringe groups, runaways, immigrants, alcoholics, drug addicts, people suffering from mental dysfunctions and any other categories of "undesirables", at all those without social ties and unable to find a safe place to live, at all those who have to beg in order to survive.

Technologies To The People® is for people denied access to the new information society and new technologies, for all those living in the confines of new and alien borders. Technologies To The People® wants to facilitate your access to the information society. Technologies To The People® wants more people to be networked. Technologies To The People® has developed and manufactured the Street Access Machine® specifically for the fringe groups named above. The machine can be used 24 hours-a-day with all credit cards (cybercash). With the Street Access Machine®, credit cards are now welcome everywhere - including the street.

All you need to do is install a Street Access Machine® and problems with begging will be a thing of the past. Those wishing to donate money to the needy simply present a credit card and stipulate the sum they are willing to part with. The destitute can withdraw the money from a cash dispenser using their Recovery Card® in conjunction with a personal password. Simple to use and interest-free. All-round credit card service for one and for all.
