Fedizens in Brussels, this Friday (3-3) at 18:00, the exhibition Tangible Cloud opens at KBK gallery, incl. a performance by Stevie Ango and Clyde Lepage.

As part of the project Dissipating the Mist, 30 people from different backgrounds (artists, designers, philosophers, economists, etc.) met in May and June 2022 to imagine, through artistic practices, counter-narratives to the dominant vision of digital : « cloud computing. " This small exhibition shows some of the process and outcomes.

Design de la confiscation

Conférence discussion avec des membres de Open Source Publishing, Speculoos, Variable et Atelier Cartographique
Façonner des sites web, c'est un artisanat discret. C'est entrer en intimité avec les pratiques culturelles et digitales d'une organisation et d'êtres très divers. C'est construire un triangle riche même si peu lisible.

Longtemps préservé des réponses industrielles par ses spécificités, ce

Immersion dans la matérialité du numérique

Conférence gesticulée de Thomas Thibault (Collectif Bam) suivie d’une discussion avec Carine Thibaut (Greenpeace) et Stéphanie D’Haenens (IEB)

Les déchets électroniques pèsent aujourd’hui plus que la Muraille de Chine.

Le numérique prend une place de plus en plus importante dans le dépassement des limites planétaires, bien loin de l’immatérialité vendue. (...)

Collective space looking for additional members

A collective space is slowly taking shape at Chaussée de Jette in Brussels. Inhabited, for now, by artists, collectives and researchers working around technology, visual arts, architecture and urban space, we are looking for 1 or 2 more members to join us in building a shared workspace where researches and practices can be woven together. Monthly rent is experimentally set at 150€ (all included) for one unit with shared use of the communal ground floor, kitchen and also a lovely garden with fruit trees.

If you're interested in joining or have further questions, don't hesitate to contact us here or at: rachel@common-room.net and/or femke@titipi.org

Où et quand a-t-on discuté collectivement de l'obligation de détenir un smartphone pour aller voir un spectacle, se déplacer, utiliser des services bancaires, suivre la scolarité de ses enfants ?
La nouvelle saison de #LeCodeAChangé démarre fort !

Can You Afford to Be an Art Worker?

"If art work is recognized as labour, as I argue in Art Work, it becomes a strategic political tool that can help artists demand and struggle for workers’ rights and fair payment – it doesn’t take away from the excellence of their work. Quite the contrary, artists today are increasingly recognizing that labour discourse is their solution."

We soft-announced the next #ournetworks a couple weeks ago and I thought I should share the call here!

Our Networks 2047: Redistributing the Future
November 14 – 27, 2022
Online, Distributed
ournetworks.ca/

After a year of hibernation, we're excited to invite you to join us for an experimental online event - something between an alternate reality conference, and wiki as collaborative science fiction. Drawing inspiration from our favourite sci-fi authors we’re headed to a future for Our Networks 2̶0̶2̶2̶ 2047.

We are seeking session leaders to spend at max a couple hours writing abstracts and pitches for the hypothetical conference programming and spending some time checking in on a wiki over the two weeks of the event.
To declare your interest, please submit a character’s name and bio, area of interest or talk by October 15, 2022. More details here: ournetworks.ca/

C’est pas moi, c’est l’algorithme

Présentation et discussion avec Peggy Pierrot

 

Société algorithmique, biais algorithmique, capitalisme algorithmique, gouvernance algorithmique... les mots associés avec les adjectifs dérivés d'algorithme apparaissent dans tous les domaines de nos vies dans les sociétés numérisées qui sont les nôtres. On parle d'algorithme bancaire, d'algorithme prédictif, de machine

The first year I started working at iMAL, we hosted the Playlist exhibition during the summer, which featured this video by Boogerlab (with a tune by Goto80) youtube.com/watch?v=HYqcti-gFk

I heard it 3 days a week for almost 3 month. It's burned in my brain, forever.

I think it's the first time I watch it again in 12 years :D

Call for Participation:
OPENCOIL workshop 🔋🔋🔋

"The pavements of many cities have been flooded by so-called 'dockless sharing vehicles'. This workshop explores the impact of such micro-mobility services on (public) urban space by re-appropriating their decentralised infrastructure as a space for experimentation, while also addressing the conditions and effects of this infrastructure."

Deadline: August 21
