Workshop: Imagining Degrowth On the Internet

Digital technologies including AI have gone beyond improving our lives, they are now embedded deeply into all facets of our societies. Join this workshop to understand their impact and what you can do about it.

The internet as it is, is a material consequence of the imagination of a few who commodify all facets of our lives. From profiting on our attention to polarising democratic discourses, the internet infrastructure runs on the depleting resources of our world. It has given us a powerful way of organising, but it is a for profit alloy of companies more powerful than the states or institutions that govern them. This invasively propelled imagination of the digital, can only be countered with a different imagination of the internet, including AI. This workshop creates space to foster that imagination by understanding it, devising creative experiments and dwelling in alternatives.
