Today Saturday, June 14 at 19:00 I’ll give a talk at @hkw_berlin – Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, focused on my last book Tactical Publishing, Using Senses, Software, and Archives in the Twenty-First Century, published by @themitpress.
I’ll then be in a dialogue moderated by MISS READ festival director Michalis Pichler (thanks for the invitation!).

Audiovisual Disruption got reviewed by Neural - magazine for critical digital culture and media arts!

"Drawing on Alexander Galloway, the book explores four perspectives over media and their aesthetic manifestations: on, within and off digital media, as well as an in-between digital and non-digital media. [...] Critical making as a poietic method to challenge dominant practices is fundamental to the process of post-digital hybridisation."

After participating to a panel on media art publications, I’m giving an invited talk on May 9 (tomorrow) at 13:45 at Teatro Los Fundadores in Manizales (Colombia), as part of the Festival Internacional de la Imagen about “Neural, 30+ years of interdependent networking”, thanks to Winchester School of Art Department of Art and Media Technology, Andres Burbano, and Felipe Cesar Londoño for the support.

Just finished reading:

**Post-Digital Print – the Mutation of Publishing Since 1894*** (*Alessandro Ludovico, 2012)

Definitely recommended. The book details the history of the presumed death of print. It's super interesting, entertaining and contains references to lots of cool art projects.

Post-digital

“We think of the post-digital as a social condition emerging in response to digitalization. It is a condition […] in which digital communication is (a) inevitable and expected, and (b) inherently problematic, because of the ways (c) it links empowerment and appropriation to being surveilled, controlled, and subject to the planting of internalized compulsions […] the post-digital evolves as a dialectical counterforce.”

#ChatGPT & Co seem to make research easier. But in reality, they fuel the publish-or-perish race, push admins to demand more papers, more grants, more outputs, erode the very idea of scholarly work:

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s42438-023-00440-6

Embrace slow #science – quality over quantity.
Resist AI-driven academic exploitation – don’t let universities use #AI to push researchers harder.
Reclaim meaningful #scholarship – real discussions, critical thinking, true collaboration.

The last episode on @neil_selwyn ‘s education technology society podcast is so on point.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/education-technology-society/id1690328180?i=1000698248676

I love that he addresses the insecurity created by dependency and emotional buy-in of corporate platforms.
I also appreciate that he is on the Fediverse so as to avoid these platform lock-ins.

If you get a chance to hear this podcast episode (and I highly recommend you do even if you are not an educator), then may I also recommend you let Prof. Selwyn know here on Mastodon how educational these podcasts are and how interesting the guests are.

#postdigital #edtech #digitalsovereignty #education

Coventry University’s Centre for Postdigital Cultures (CPC) and its Post-Publishing research strand invite applications to a fully-funded PhD studentship that explores alternative #publishing practices and formats and discusses their potential to cultivate more supportive, diverse, and equitable publishing cultures.

Application deadline: 30 April 2025
Start date: September 2025

Full details on eligibility and how to apply are available here:

@GottaLaff practicing #SmallWeb may not fix the problem but might mitigate some of the throttling. Maybe it is time to return to ascii art for memes?
But seriously, it will be “HD AI auto play Videos” on one end and Markdown text files on the other of the future digital divide.
Our #postdigital lives do not have a reverse gear, and I look forward to logging into my bank via ssh. 🙄

This is indeed the holy grail of #edtech .

And I feel it will only work if we can change the landscape and the soil used to cultivate educational digital tools.

While it is great to follow Eduction Science Technology podcast by @neil_selwyn . It supper fun to listen with the transcript flowing next to it so you can scrub to repeat name or check institutions. It is like being at a really interesting dinner party and just listening to super interesting conversations between the guests.

Oh and if you are into digital compost there is a great read by Sinclair, C., Hayes, S.

Und eine tolle Diskussion bei solchen Gelegenheiten auch darüber zu sprechen in welcher Umgebung wir zukünftig arbeiten wollen
