“Cloud computing” has become the key component of today’s digital landscape. While the image evoked by the term “the Cloud” conjures an immaterial im age of data floating through the air without a root or home, it overshadow s the material reality of our digital habits. These habits run on deep-sea internet cables, energy guzzling serv er farms, precious metals mined for a large variety of chips,  and more “stuff” that actually makes up what we now call “the  Cloud”. To top it all off, the infrastructure that connects computing to everyday real ity is largely owned, governed, and designed by big tech corporations that make all their decisions based on profit m aximisation.

How can we bring sustainability, social eq uity, and democracy to the centre of how th ese everyday infrastructures are built, developed, and maintained?  C an we make self-hosting more accessible? Can we imagine alternative intern et structures? Can we bring the Cloud back down to earth? Join us for The Hmm @ H&D Summer Camp, Clouds to Commons, where we’ll take a deep, pla yful, and experimental look at the Cloud.

This evening is the final public event of the H&D Summer Camp, so we’ve put togethe r a full programme. Starting at 18.00, visitors can already join a p rinting performance and exhibition where the Summer Camp  participants will be sharing their processes and outcomes of  the last two weeks. This sharing moment will continue after the Hmm event. Artist and designer  and member of Hackers & Designers Julie tte Lizotte, has helped us put together the evening programme, where we will expore hands-on-hacking, collective learning, speculative fabulation, and big tech resistance with six artists, designers, research ers, and makers.
