11th World Congress of the Hedonist International

Off-the-grid communication with qaul
, Nachtbühne
Language: English

We will actively reflect on our dependencies on the Internet communication network, and how to communicate, when the Internet fails or is not usable.
We will explore off-the-grid local communication and build our own networks to mesh up and communicate directly between our devices with the off-the-grid messenger qaul.

This workshop will introduce qaul, the ideas behind it and give a hands-on and playful introduction and active exploration into off-the-grid communication.


qaul is a P2P mesh communication app, with a strong focus on privacy and usability. Every user is identified via their self-sovereign cryptographic identity.

qaul communicates Peer-2-Peer, and builds a mesh network between all participating devices.
