Diesen Samstag 25. April, frühmorgens um 09:00 in Kreuzberg etwas südlich vom Checkpoint Charlie.

Hurrah, “Endosymbiotische Komputation. Über das Gemeinwerden neuer Medien” kommt bald auf Deutsch heraus: https://www.campus.de/buecher-campus-verlag/wissenschaft/endosymbiotische_komputation-18929.html

Another variation of the same topic.

Computation for All by All or About Becoming Common and Unnoble — Keynote at Pixxelpoint/ Symposium 2025 Resonances in the Fourth Space; 10am, 15th of November 2025, Xcenter

The world is facing multiple crises that demand new modes of living together – humans, machines, and environments intertwined as an ever-becoming network of resonating realities. Endosymbiotic computation is one such vision: computers, organisms, and technologies operate as a cooperative, self-sustaining system organized around the directive to follow the living and the collectives of the smallest units. Life generates order and structure through energy and metabolism, while simultaneously dissipating matter-energy in flux. Life is not about hoarding or accumulating resources for too long. Endosymbiosis once led to an abundance of energy, as in the merger of proto-mitochondria with larger cells that produced eukaryotic unicellular organisms. Only after this event, roughly two billion years ago, could more complex unicellular and multicellular forms emerge. The keynote will outline the principles involved, how they respond to current issues, and how revisiting European theories from the 1970s and 1980s – despite their middled-age-white-male origin – may help us move beyond our toxic traditions toward shared responsibility and a collectively programmed survival machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwdFSjN0nrY #endosymbiose #permacomputing #MediaTheory #pixxelpoint

How to imagine computation without the malicious tech of our imperial way of life? I talked about this at a hybrid keynote for ALPACA2025 on „Endosymbiotic Computation“. I am definitely out of practice to talk freely in EN ;-) https://youtu.be/eRhgtwtkYv8?si=6Z71iivU2FywxKC_ thanks! @yaxu@post.lurk.org @alpaca@social.thentrythis.org and @federicovisi@mastodon.social

Meine Roboterfreunde vom KI-Radio (aka notebookLM) haben mein Buch „Digitalität tanzen!“ gelesen und einen 4teiligen Podcast produziert. Und dies alles voll digital! Manchmal sprechen sie die Namen und Neologismen nicht korrekt aus, aber halbsoschlimm! 🙂 Link zum Podcast: https://funkwhale.init-c.de/channels/testkanal/

Please join me at this years @transmediale@mstdn.social on the last day (Sun, 2nd of Feb): Something More Felt than Known: Bodies Troubling the Digital with David Isaac Hecht, Shintaro Miyazaki, eeefff, Alexis Convento, https://transmediale.de/en/2025/event/something-more-felt-than-known

Neuer Text online: https://kupoge.de/blog/2024/10/23/alternativen-tanzen-und-ueben-mit-computern/ „Tanzen ist die hoffnungsvolle Rückseite der Arbeit! Tanzen ist alltagsnah und hat damit das Potenzial, eine Art Grundbewegung der für die Nachhaltigkeit nötigen ständigen Regenerierung von unten-nach-oben zu werden. Und nicht nur das: Wenn das Einüben..“
