CGRU

CGRU's mission is to spread Cybernetic philosophy and Grunge values, promote critical education and DIY projects, and serve as a mutual aid network for Ex-Artists. 

CGRU is the overarching collective of various projects including the independent labels Doughgirl Tapes and Laura's Girls, as well as the Multimedia Resource website Cybergrunge.net, founded by Ellie Voyyd, among others past present and future. 

CGRU's core mission includes:

Encouraging collaboration and collective action instead of individualism
Promoting Free and Open Source software and hardware
Anti-capitalist education, supporting cooperative/collective ownership
Hybrid Stochocracy for a true democratic model of self-governance
Promote cybernetic experimentation strategies for artistic and social life

We primarily fund our own operations toward this mission, as well as provide funding to or work in collaboration with individual artists as well as like minded projects such as Basket Shop fine art gallery, the Red Raven Espresso Parlor, and various informal communities.
