What is feminist data inside of social networks, algorithms, and big data? How can we queer data, the archive, and the internet? How can a data set act as a form of protest, of a creation of bias mitigation? This talk looks at ways of intervention, from art, design, and technology that combat and challenge bias. How can we create data to be an act of protest against algorithms? Part of this talk will focus on Caroline's research and current art project, Feminist Data Set. Feminist Data Set acts as a means to combat bias and introduce the possibility of data collection as a feminist practice, aiming to produce a slice of data to intervene in larger civic and private networks. Exploring its potential to disrupt larger systems by generating new forms of agency, her work asks: can data collection itself function as an artwork?

Today Užupis faces new challenges. It turned from the most rundown area to the most expensive area of the baltics. It seems the threat of Socialism was substituted by the pervasive power of techno-capitalism. Therefore, I would like to show how the republic and its embassies currently approache a productive conversation with the "outside" world, while at the same time caring less and less about the rest of the world and creating their Užupis ways of doing things.

In sub-Saharan Africa, foreign corporations are vigorously irrigating vast rural areas for agro-industrial purposes, displacing local smallholders from their land to secure stable supplies for the rest of the western world. Since the global food crisis of 2007-2008, there has been an exponential growth in large-scale land acquisition in Africa. Western, Chinese, and Middle Eastern companies are leading a 21st-century land rush in African farmland where more than a forty million hectares are now under 99-year leases. Greenhouse colonies have become one of many architectural representations of unequal exchanges fostered by global capitalism. This workshop is based on research on the production system of Kenyan floriculture - and uses architectural language as a lens to investigate a speculative rural cooperative system for smallholder farmers.

Computational thinking is now taught in many higher technical courses. CT involves solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science. In this presentation we will take a critical look at the CT approach and its epistemological foundations. I will present the paradigms on which the problem solving process is based, introduce the "Conquer & Divide" method, and illustrate the sometimes unhealthy interaction of CT with society through examples and anecdotes. I will end this critical overview with initiatives that assimilate CT in a critical gesture, such as de-computation. My wish is to generate astonishment and reflections that participants can share after the talk. Computational thinking is now taught in many higher technical courses.

In a time in which death is moving rapidly online (funeral streaming services during COVID-19, #RIPcelebrity hashtags trending on Twitter), we all have to face the question of what happens to our own digital afterlives, as well as those of our loved ones. 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. Essentially death is an inevitable accompaniment to our existence and, like in other fields, we are constantly catching up with technology and surrendering our control; this is no exception, perhaps we just need to acclimatise quicker than the companies.

Among the various waste streams that our companies produce, e-waste (electronic waste) is the one that has been growing rapidly for several years, due to the constant replacement of telephones and laptops, televisions and game consoles and other miscellaneous peripherals. This kind of digital rubbish, which remains when their use is over, are generally discarded, sometimes stuffed in a box in the attic, sometimes in the trash, or in more or less serious recycling circuits. In addition to the refurbishment of digital objects such as smartphones, computers or connected objects, many unique and original reuse practices exist to make these machines last, or reinvent them: techniques for the conservation or enhancement of past machines, reuse of parts and components taken from unused devices to create low-cost information systems, electronic craftsmanship aimed at customising, adapting or creating digital objects in limited editions, competitions, festivals and workshops for the design of video games, demos or musical content on computers and consoles from the 1980s and 1990s, etc. On the basis of an ongoing investigation of the re-use practices of digital objects, this presentation will address the anthropological issues of the second life of digital objects. In doing so, it will address ways of returning to the idea of progress, of questioning it and of finding original avenues by integrating the sustainability of our digital devices.

During the past years 5G has been adverstised by industry leaders as the future of the tech. Nevertheless there is little data about its environmental impacts and about the necessity of such infrastructure for future challenges (global warming, resource scarcity, ...). This talk intends to describe the 5G infrastructure and some of the different controversies around it like energy and environmental impacts. The rise of big tech infrastructure, such as 5G, without any public consultation is heavely problematic as it locks down on a specific, and presumably unsustainable, technological path. 5G is likely to be a keystone to reclaim governance and democratic debate on future infrastructures. 5G also asks a key question : can we collectively steer and manage the evolution of internet traffic or are you condemned to an exponential growth to the benefit of some private actors ?

The narratives are established within the perspective from one of the people who decided to escape the city tending towards the technological singularity. The vision is to resettle a new community with a vision that speaks against technological centralisation. As mining was one of the early operations that sparked the industrial revolution, the new community is built on top of an abandoned mine settlement to invert the conventional notion of a technological revolution.

In the last decade, several public stories have hit the headlines, underlining the necessity to rethink our relation to digital technologies and our behavior with regard to privacy. 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 to 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.

The last fifteen years has seen a surge of interest in decentralised technology. 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.
