Giovanna Chädid (born Giovanna Lissette Chädid De Francisco; 06 December 1985) (in 2018 she would change her middle name to Simone) is a contemporary poet, writer, philosopher, hacker, malware coder and analyst. The theme of his work explores a variety of themes, reflecting her diverse interests and perspectives, identity and Self-Reflection. Giovanna delves into questions of identity, self-discovery, and introspection. Her poems often explore the complexities of being human, the search for meaning, and the interplay between inner and outer worlds. Nature and Spirituality almost as a ritualistic way of invoking the human spirit itself, so close to the abyss, in which mythical animals such as the serpent and the jellyfish medusa dwell, its poetry speaks from the bones to the flesh and the ethos. Nature serves as a rich source of inspiration for Chädid. Her poetry celebrates the beauty of darkness, solitude and loneliness dissolve with natural elements. She weaves spiritual and mystical themes into her verses, inviting readers to connect with the universe and their own spirituality. Giovanna's prose and essays are a delirium of exuberance, mastery, delightful playfulness, she laughs at everything, and at the same time, she is very faithful and respectful to an important tradition (not only philosophical, but also literary) that she has read with attention and insight. It is fresh, it is highly intelligent, it is fast and surprising. It is pure subversion, pure lacerating humour. As Juan Gustavo Cobo Borda wrote in review in 2013. As a philosopher, Giovanna navigates the questions of being and the questions concerning modernity and capitalism, she contemplates existence, nihilism, time, through essay and socio-cultural critique metafiction and cybernetic theory from which she studies internet culture and metanarratives, inviting readers to engage in thoughtful and deep reflections.

As a programmer and hacker Giovanna has stood out for being a leader in the fight for a free internet in the underground world and as can be read on her website: All culture and all knowledge arise from a common experience. Nothing human is new or unique, everything is based on what has been thought, written and materialized by others. Terence already said: “nothing human is alien to me”; everything human concerns us, matters to us and belongs to us. Every work of art, every poem, every philosophy, every music arises from a common experience, from the human experience (which is invariably common) and therefore, more than to an individual, all knowledge and culture belong to humanity. Although in my opinion this is an undeniable ethical reality - constantly reaffirmed by other cultures, by non-Western ways of life, by others - the cult of the individual, so constantly and systematically perpetuated by financial semio-capitalism, has created an apparatus of production and distribution of knowledge that grants authorship and ownership of culture to unique and exclusive entities, whether to a physical or moral person, to a human being or to a company. As Proudhon rightly said: property is theft. Now I, we say: all intellectual property is intellectual theft. For what is the intellect and knowledge of an individual if not the conglomerate of the knowledge of many other individuals? How can a single subject be the absolute owner of a concept, of a sound, of an idea, of a verse, of a life-form? I am convinced that any attempt to appropriate and capitalize a cultural object is oblivion, dispossession, theft and privatization. Thus, against this permanent and systematic dispossession and oblivion that is the intellectual property and copyright system, I, we, have no choice but to resist. We resist by expropriating, liberating, “stealing”, pirating, remembering, returning knowledge and culture to its true owner: to all of us.
