Freu mich riesig darauf, mit lieben friends & collaborators das Panel "Big Tech against our Cities - Gentrifizierung, Privatisierung und Überwachung" zu bespielen!! Denn: Big Tech findet (leider) Stadt! Wir werden über verschiedene urbane Kämpfe sprechen und wie wir solidarische Cables of Resistance miteinander knüpfen können. Join us!

Samstag, 11.4. um 16.30h

How to (en)code #care in a careless world? I am very proud to be able to present our Special Issue "Refusal and the Computational City - From (De)Coding the Machine to (En)Coding Care", co-edited with the wonderful @NiloufarVadiati@mastodon.world, and published with Digital Geography and Society!

From tracing fibre optic cables to critically #mapping #platforms, it is a wonderful collection filled with fierce and collaborative #refusal practices, strategies, and collectives against #bigtech. If you're looking for some hope in these dark times, all the articles are shining a light on and celebrating forms of (digital) care and collectivity!

Please share widely!!

We're kicking off our #conference "Urban Speculations" tonight @CDCLeuphana@social.tchncs.de! If you're trying to grapple with #BigTech's influence on politics, futures, and #city worlds atm you're right with us! The best strategy right now seems to build alliances and get together. Hope to see you there or online!

If your work circles around forms of speculations in the urban world, tech universe or other conceptual galaxies, please join us!!🌌

End of submission is July 1, 2024. We warmly invite you to contribute and are looking forward to your take on all things speculative and spatial!

#cfp 📢 Happy to share that my dear colleague @NiloufarVadiati@mastodon.world and I are co-editing a special issue of Digital #Geography and Society about "Refusal and the Computational City - From (de)coding the machine to (en)coding #care"!

We believe we are in desperate need of collective and hopeful imaginaries that resist the corporate-dominated and colonialist narratives of (digitized) worlds to come. With this #specialissue, we would like to start a conversation that goes beyond the gates of the academy, recognizing that we cannot understand the #city from analyses alone. Thus, we are looking forward to articles jointly building a new vocabulary around movements of refusal in cities, from (de)coding the machine to (en)coding care.

Please feel warmly invited to contribute and share!!💜 Works of collectives, initatives, and activists from outside academia are very welcome!
