But when we stop to think about the future itself, rather than what we want to happen in it, something quite profound can begin to happen. Karl Popper spoke of the ‘poverty of the imagination’, whereby fallacies of determinism begin to colonise our understandings of what is possible, and our hopes and fears begin to obscure the emergent, unpredictable nature of our complex world. As Riel Miller has said: “We betray the potential of our imagination to illuminate and invent the present if we cannot be liberated from the tyranny of using-the-future to win.” Our heterodox world of resistance has a host of compelling images and narratives of the future encoded into it, but how often do we make all of their assumptions explicit, play with them, and test and nurture our resilience by troubling them? This workshop has three stages, following the Futures Literacy Novelty Laboratory model (FLL-N): Reveal, Reframe, and Rethink. Each stage is carefully designed to guide participants from utopia, into uncertainty, and back again, availing of co-creative heuristics from Critical Futures Studies to distil the myths of our ‘anticipatory assumptions’, and to point the way to a ‘decolonisation of the future’, so that life is lived values-first in the present, rather than in anguish over the plainly unforeseeable.

Digital death is the ultimate clash of familiar human concepts of time with the ubiquitous computational time. Facebook and Instagram offer possibilities for “immortalisation” with a memorialised profile, Twitter only offers deactivation. The need to humanise algorithms is now vital; Facebook friend suggestions and birthday reminders of the deceased aren’t exactly perceptive. Cue capitalising companies offering to use AI to analyse activity and learn how to post for you after death. But are their promises really immortal? And if, as predictions suggest, the dead soon outnumber the living on Facebook, who’s going to pay for their upkeep? Dead people aren’t very useful consumers; they won’t be clicking on those targeted ads. So what happens to the feedback loop when it’s the deceased generating the data? And who ultimately owns this data? This research began from a personal note following the death of my father. Unprepared, I found myself clinging to the digital traces that remained of him. Using participatory methods, I conversed with Facebook users who were vocalising a death on the platform. This research explores the presentation of the self across public platforms and negotiates a physical absence in light of a persistence digital presence. Anthropological research into death and grief online faces new challenges: omnipresent online traces, ethical algorithms, data storage and an online field-site.

Whether it be Snowden’s revelations, Cambridge Analytica, or Facebook political advertising, all of these narratives seem to turn public opinion towards skepticism and defiance. However, they also seem to dissimulate the more subtle means of coercion existing in the digital realm, both technical and psycho-sociological aspects. In 2018, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who invented what is now known as the World Wide Web, gave an interview in which he admits that “the web has failed instead of served humanity, as it was supposed to have done, and failed in many places”. He had envisioned a system that would provide means of empowerment its users. He thought, as some still do, that a standardized platform in which people would be able to participate openly in the elaboration of a common interest could provide a radical shift from a centralized capitalist political system. Nonetheless, this has proven to be a failure. By his own admission, the web has become quite the opposite : centralization has brought monopoly to only a handful of services, hiding behind a Utopian vision embodied in personalized services and recommendations. We think that this failure also illustrates the lack of understanding the public has of the implicit technical dogma guiding online services and their technical interdependence. How can we accurately identify coercion and the potential means of re-decentralizing ? We propose to analyze this re-decentralization via these talking points : 1) the psycho-sociological analysis of the relation between one’s opinion and the tools of capitalist coercion, 2) the technical aspects of the dissimulated interdependence of various services, notably privately owned and/or controlled APIs. @@ -357,7 +356,7 @@ title_ : Melancholic Cryptonymy and the Aesthetic Threshold of Detectability- The Blue Conceptualists, The Haunted Painter and The Existential Crisis of the Cadaver. lang_ : EN format: Talk - ref : Melancholic-Cryptonymy-and + ref : melancholic-cryptonymy-and-aesthetic-threshold date : 2020-09-20 00:00 description: | Where the melancholic is resistant to mourn what is understood in @@ -395,56 +394,14 @@ recurrence; contextualising the model of history as an auto- cannibalistic feedback loop which reiterates and sustains itself by endlessly living out its own death. - - Works that have informed and help shape my research are as - follows: - - -Abraham, Nicholas and Torok, Maria.

From well-funded blockchain projects like IPFS to the emergence of large scale information networks such as Dat, Scuttlebutt and ActivityPub, this is renewed life in peer-to-peer technologies; a renaissance that enjoys widespread growth, driven by the desire for platform commons and community self-determination. These are goals that are fundamentally at odds with – and a response to – the incumbent platforms of social media, music and movie distribution and data storage. As we enter the 2020s, centralised power and decentralised communities are on the verge of outright conflict for the control of the digital public space. The resilience of centralised networks and the political organisation of their owners remains significantly underestimated by protocol activists. At the same time, the decentralised networks and the communities they serve have never been more vulnerable. The peer-to-peer community is dangerously unprepared for a crisis-fuelled future that has very suddenly arrived at their door. participants: [27] + links: + - url: https://newdesigncongress.org/en/pub/this-is-fine/ + - name: 'This is Fine: Optimism & Emergency in the P2P Network' + diff --git a/_data/rf2020/participants.yml b/_data/rf2020/participants.yml index 496fd24..4b7c2bc 100644 --- a/_data/rf2020/participants.yml +++ b/_data/rf2020/participants.yml @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ - id : 0 fullname : Michelle Thorne - ref: Michelle-Thorne + ref: michelle-thorne pic: /assets/participants/michelle-thorne.jpg pronouns : she/her links : ['http://michellethorne.cc', 'https://twitter.com/thornet'] @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ - id : 1 fullname : Evan Raskob - ref: Evan-Raskob + ref: evan-raskob pic: /assets/participants/evan-raskob.jpg pronouns : he/him links : ['http://pixelist.info', 'https://twitter.com/game_peek', 'https://twitter.com/evanraskob'] @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ - id : 2 fullname : Eyal Gruss - ref: Eyal-Gruss + ref: eyal-gruss pic: /assets/participants/eyal-gruss.png pronouns : please use the Laadan male suffix -id when you are referring to meid and a male marker is lacking. e.g. you->youid, your->yourid, yours->yoursid, are->areid. if you are referring to a group of people of which Iid amid part, but the others do not adhere to such pronouns or copulas, please explicitly exclude meid from that group and reconjunct meid separately using myid ppacs. e.g. "they are my friends" -> either "theyid areid my friends" or "they, excluding him, are my friends, and he isid my friend". links : ['http://eyalgruss.com', 'https://twitter.com/eyaler', 'http://facebook.com/eyal.gruss'] @@ -30,8 +30,7 @@ - id : 3 fullname : Yoav Lifshitz - ref: Yoav-Lifshitz - pic: nan + ref: yoav-lifshitz pronouns : nan links : ['https://instagram.com/yoavthepirate'] bio: | @@ -42,8 +41,7 @@ - id : 4 fullname : Oliver Bream McIntosh & FuPro Collective - ref: Oliver-Bream-McIntosh - pic: nan + ref: oliver-bream-mc-intosh pronouns : he/him links : ['https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliver-bream-mcintosh-628558102/'] bio: | @@ -52,7 +50,7 @@ - id : 5 fullname : Andrew van Hyfte - ref: Andrew-van-Hyfte + ref: andrew-van-hyfte pic: /assets/participants/andrew-van-hyfte.png pronouns : he/him links : ['https://www.are.na/andrew-van-hyfte', 'https://twitter.com/andrewvanhyfte'] @@ -66,7 +64,7 @@ - id : 6 fullname : Caroline Sinders - ref: Caroline-Sinders + ref: caroline-sinders pic: /assets/participants/caroline-sinders.png pronouns : she/her/they/them links : ['https://carolinesinders.com/', 'https://twitter.com/carolinesinders'] @@ -88,7 +86,7 @@ - id : 8 fullname : H.E.
