Those who control the media cycle control the carbon cycle.

The Battle to Control the Carbon Media Cycle — Ding Magazine

Those who control the media cycle control the carbon cycle. This might sound counterintuitive. After all, the media is concerned with telling stories about what’s happening in the world, a practice that at first glance seems to be set apart from the physical mechanisms which determine how carbon moves around the biosphere. But at a... Read more »

Leaf server reinstalled and equipped with microphone! Now able to stream sound and back in the forest ~~~
Unfortunately, the social channel and archive was not planted back on the Leaf yet, you receive it from urban server and I am still considering making a channel clone, because 1GB RAM on Leaf is not much. The research of having the social server directly in location was going for more than 2 years and perhaps now the experimentation can go in the direction the livinglab having stationary server as integral part of the architecture and Leaf would be more into field research and recording.

Why is Palantir sponsoring the Dimensions art exhibition in Leipzig?

"Palantir is a US-based data analytics company whose business model seems to be the pushing and exceeding of any ethical and legal boundaries that stand in the way of a fully “transparent humanity”. Some questions come to mind. What was the reasoning behind Palantir’s decision to sponsor the Dimensions exhibition in Leipzig? What exactly were the role of art impresario Walter Smerling and the association Foundation for Art and Culture e.V. (Bonn) which he heads, after his efforts were stifled in Berlin? What role do art, curators and artists play in such an exhibition?"

very proud to be able to publish this at New Left Review. About stochastic renderings, mean images and their means of production. With big shoutouts to Adam Harvey/Jules Laplace and Mat Dryhurst/Holly Herndon. Two more long form texts to follow on ML energy and IP/commoning/common sensing issues. An urgent one: hostile takeover of recent digital art by wannabe edgelord oligarchs; in Germany a Döpfner-Kurz-Palantir network commandeering a transgressive old school genius artist position.

yesterday Julia Kloiber @j_kloiber gave a wonderful presentation at #FHPotsdam on feminist tech policy (and advocacy) and shared a whole lot of useful tools and resources with which to fight for more equitable digital futures:

First Putin, now Palantir:

Walter Smerlings new show Dimensions in Leipzig opens tomorrow assembling dozens of media artists to advertise and art wash a spy company that German police is legally barred from using for violation of privacy rights (in several federal states). Palantir, the shows main sponsor, has other clients in Germany though, f.e. local rightwing media conglomerate Springer, that uses it to surveil its users (per their website gain "granular insights into reader behaviour"). Smerlings last show was patroned by Putin, now this one leans into the Peter Thiel network (Thiel founded Palantir) of edgelord data barons and disgraced politicians facing criminal charges (Trump, Sebastian Kurz).
