Summer Academy & Booklaunch: Connecting Otherwise
On July 16, Framer Framed will host this year’s Hackers & Designers (H&D) Summer Academy: Connecting Otherwise. Join the public program at Framer Framed with talks and performances by Hackers & Designers, Display Distribute, Varia, and Question Collective. Followed by the presentation of the new publication Making Matters.
Living in a global pandemic for the last two years made apparent how our internet use impacts our co-habitation with each other – other humans, other species – in social, material and psychological ways. The evolving monoculture of the handful of companies that mediate our online connectivity, as well as their pervasiveness and extractivist nature, has created a condition in which it is difficult to imagine alternative, affective, and sustainable ways of coexisting and connecting online.
Within the theme of Connecting Otherwise, we will explore the intersections of accessibility and sustainability of hybrid cultural work and techno-social life — the cultural, economical, ecological, and geographical implications of our increasingly complex entanglements with technology.
This year’s Summer Academy of Hacker & Designers will be facilitated and co-constructed with collectives that work in their respective local environments at the intersection of art, design and technology, environmental, queer, trans* and disability justice, free/libre/open source software development, and radical pedagogies. Together, we invite participants to join us in questioning, reimagining and putting into practice other conscious, creative, and response-able ways of working, creating, and co-existing online.
The event will be (audio) broadcasted live and documented by echo radio: https://radioecho.net/
