Proposal SOTA

Title: Convivial infrastructures
Draft ready: 26 October 2018
Statement: 650 words + 5-10 annotated references/links

The Constant contribution to the SOTA fair practices almanac will be a statement on the urgency and potential of transforming our relation to everyday communication technologies.

Currently, tech giants dominate all forms of digital communication, from cloud-storage to production tools and archiving systems. Infused with modernist ideas of progress, these tools are full of capitalist values and dreams of seamless scalability. They form intricate webs of human and non-human agencies weaving themselves into and around us, intimately linking our personal and professional practices. Cultural institutions, including places that are dedicated to radical transformation, political love and commoning, have come to rely on commercial platforms. So can we be different with technology? Can we take the risk of a convivial relationship that foregrounds vulnerability, mutual dependency and care-taking?

The contribution will be a tender manifesto on why and how with the help of old and new Free, Libre and Open Source Software tools we might transition from anticipating efficiency to allowing curiosity; from expecting scarcity to demanding multiplicity; from solution to possibility.

Tender technologies: how tools shape practice and practice shapes tools.

Can we take the risk of transforming our relation to everyday communication technologies? Currently, tech giants dominate all forms of digital communication, from cloud-storage to production tools and archiving systems. Infused with modernist ideas of progress, these tools are full of capitalist values and dreams of seamless scalability. They form intricate webs of human and non-human agencies that weave themselves into and around us, intimately linking personal and professional practices, deeply embedded into institutional and infrastructural practices, including those dedicated to transformation, political love and commoning. So maybe we cannot afford to look away at how we are being with technology when we practice a School of Love? This study-day will be dedicated to experiencing technology differently, of developing a convivial relationship that foregrounds vulnaribility, mutual dependency and care-taking. With the help of old and new Free-Software tools we will practice a transit from expecting efficiency to allowing curiosity; from scarcity to multiplicity and from solution to possibility.
