Installing ourselves into LibrePlanet
Time: Monday, April 25, 12:30 – 14:00 EDT Capacity: 20 max Workshop style: Highly interactive with access to voice and video Registration link: https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=102 Presenter: Hosted by Cristina Cochior, Karl Moubarak, Jara Rocha from The Cell for Digital Discomfort (CfDD) Description:
This is a workshop session to map out each of our current conditions of connecting and being together, the physical-political, and technological conditions using a diagrammatic methodology.
The workshop is geared towards installing ourselves into the conference's infrastructural spectralities by sharing, learning from, and attuning to each others' conditions for connectivity, online participation and basic computer-mediated mundane day-to-day life. We want to pose this affirmation as an initial trigger: installing is about situating — attuning to our network of (inter-)dependencies and attuning to the dependencies, not only with our local and vernacular, but also within standardized and planetary networks.
