+ +--- + + +ReclaimFutures have teamed up with The [New Design Congress](https://newdesigncongress.org/) to bring you a new livestream series - [The Para-Real: Finding the Future in Unexpected Places](https://stream.undersco.re/), a free series about subcultures building livelihoods in spite of platform exploitation and fractured societies. Over 12 episodes streamed weekly, we meet filmmakers who have never met their actors, artists building their own networks of value, documentarians exploring digital identity, and members of resilient subcultures. All of these people share a commonality: they have an innate understanding of the Para-Real, and have seized upon it to better their surroundings. + +### What is the Para-Real? + +Between the digital realm and our physical world, The Para-Real is a third space, equally material but poorly understood. The Para-Real is where class politics, economics and the outcomes of hardware and infrastructure design collide. It manifests as the desire for play that turns young Minecraft players into network server administrators, the moments where digital security meets physical safety, the creation of mutually-supportive artist-driven marketplaces or the tension inherent in Virtual Reality’s land-grab in the living room. The Para-Real is the embodiment of the observation, + +*‘We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.’* + +The future is not a Zoom call. The digital systems we are confined to today merge protocol with platform to prey on isolation and extract value from labour. That we grapple with this incarnation of the digital realm indicates a dominant cartel in decline. In its place is a vacuum. We must resist the immature groupthink of the 90s’ vision of what the Internet can be. The Para-Real is once again contested space. + +**STREAMING WEEKLY FROM MAY 23 +12PM PDT // 3PM EDT // 8PM BST // 9PM CEST** + + + + + + +### Website and Typography + +The ReclaimFutures website was made by Benjamin Jones and Clément Charollais using [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) and is hosted at (100% renewable-powered) [Data Center Light](https://datacenterlight.ch/). + +The typefaces used by ReclaimFutures are [Space Mono by Colophon Foundry](https://www.colophon-foundry.org/custom/spacemono/) and [GlyphWorld Mountain by Leah Maldonado](https://leahmaldonado.com/GlyphWorld). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/fr/rf2020/index.html b/fr/rf2020/index.html index 007ee06..13cba4d 100644 --- a/fr/rf2020/index.html +++ b/fr/rf2020/index.html @@ -1,15 +1,35 @@ --- layout: page lang: fr -className: rf2020 ref: 2020-mainpage +className: rf2020 --- -
