Feminist Hack Meetings #3
Feminist Futurotopixs
↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

At Varia + online  
Saturday 06/11/2021  
11:00-13:00 CEST

#Spideralex will introduce us to Feminist #Futurotopixs. This workshop will enable participants to dream, invent and desire together feminist #technologies. They will invent narratives, speculative fiction and radical imaginaries that work as alternatives to existing oppressive or dystopian models. The workshop is oriented at co-designing stories and creating new worlds as processes to imagine and #dream together about feminist desired futures.

F(eminist)H(ack)M(eetings), organised by Artemis, Angeliki and Julia, are a series of research meetings and workshops that explore the potentialities and imaginaries of feminist technological collectives. These gatherings aim to challenge who counts as a hacker, and what counts as hacking. More: fhm.varia.zone

It's International Repair Day!

"A day to promote and celebrate the value of fixing"

Fix shit or cry trying, as the saying goes. I've got a toy laptop, a sewing machine and a pair of jeans to fix.

The article “Typing is dead” by Thomas S. Mullaney is about the QWERTY keyboard and shows why the keyboard is NOT the interface. – “Whether for Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Burmese, Devanagari, or any number of other non-Latin scripts, one could not simply “rearrange” one’s way out of this technolinguistic trap.”

Hey all! I make stickers now I guess!

I have 10 of each of these on order, I should get them by the 8th and then they'll be on Etsy for, I'm thinking $4.75 USD each, shipping included?

but If you want some, PM me and we'll make $4 even, shipping included. Fediverse discount!

They're gonna be on clear weather resistant vinyl, supposedly dishwasher safe etc.

Thanks for reading!

“So, feminist infrastructures include servers, networks, cables, antennas, software, hardware, and the use of electromagnetic spectrum, protocols, and algorithms. But they also include spaces, temporalities, priorities, relationships between humans and machines, and agreements …”

I spoke to artist Joana Moll about her new piece for the Media Wall at The Photographers' Gallery last week.

We discussed microprocessors, their impact on the environment and the role of artists and the art world in the transition to a less polluting society.

📄 Radio Is My Bomb: A DIY Manual For Pirates, 1987 https://awkmo.co/radio-is-my-bomb-diy-manual-for-pirates/

“… a wonderfully dated guide to pirate broadcasting. Mostly aimed at activists it covers everything from laws (including going to court and getting gear back), existing stations, equipment and basic ethics to name but a few parts in it’s 72 pages.”
