| <nettime> Configure-Able Infrastructures |
| NEoN is excited to work with George Simms and invites you to 'Configure-Able Infrastructures’, a series of online workshops exploring care and self-exploration enabled through life-affirming infrastructures. We will be joined by Melt (Ren Britton & Iz Paehr) to explore incendiary emails for change-making and SysterServer (Ai Carmela & OOOOO) to discuss the anarcha feminist cyborg hacker uprising. About the Workshops Configure-Able Methods are rooted in the work of enabling intersectional critiques into the methods and imaginaries of sociotechnical systems, at its core asking how this knowledge can help us transform destructive relations into ones of care. Self-exploration enabled through life-affirming infrastructures and informed by the radical work of Sins Invalid and Healing Justice London, transforming community and disability justice through the voices, experiences, and methods of those living through it. Following this agenda, configure-able methods aims to be a generative toolset to reconfigure these infrastructures into ones that can be lead from their subject and not from a generalized and prescribed overview. This reconfiguring toolset aims to transform the imaginaries of a big tech into minor, subjective, and dynamic ones, enabling people to have abilities over how their digital infrastructures are imagined as and how this comes into being. Through two workshops, we aim to discuss how MELT (crip artists, designers and hackers), as well as Syster Server (feminist system administration collective), have already started these reconfiguring practices and what we can learn from their imaginings, matterings and experiences from practising them. This is very much the start of this conversation of configure-able methods, and all are welcome to join in and bring their own experiences, questions, and thoughts.
