For three years, the researcher joined the community of bargees, travellers, who use the canals to live on them, with a temporary permit to stay for two weeks in one place. The paper offers a critical view on the housing situation in the UK and EU in general. The paper also looks into capabilities offered by Do-It-Yourself (DIY) networking infrastructures \u2013 low-cost off-the-shelf hardware and wireless technologies \u2013 and how small communities or individuals can deploy local communication networks that are fully owned by local actors, including all generated data. These DIY networks could cover from a small square (e.g., using a Raspberry Pi) to a city neighborhood (e.g., RedHook initiative) or even a whole city (e.g., guifi.net), and in the case of boattr, the towpath of the canal network. This paper is being proposed in combination with an installation of a running boattr prototype, micro-computer book. This boattr installation lets the conference visitor experience the \u2018boattr\u2019 project through accessing the boattr micro-computer book over any WiFi enabled device. The installation encompasses a photographic triptych showcasing canal life, and a micro-computer through which the viewer can be immersed into a journey on the canals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-lg-8 col-xs-8\"><b> <label style=\"color: black;\" for=\"keywords:\">Keywords:<\/label> <\/b> Past, Present, Future, Digital Arts, Mesh Networks, Video 360<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the on the image conference Adnan presented the boattr 360 project.
