To celebrate both, I will host my workshop Knitting Our Internet, at 17:00 at Foundation B.a.d (Talingstraat 5, Rotterdam), the incredible place where I am living and where I am doing a guest residency.

You are all most welcome to come, invite friends!

I believe it is one of our missions, as antifascist nerds, to break the myth of an inaccessible and complex technology. The tools, services, and software we all use everyday are the more or less indirect outcome of broader socio-political and economical dynamics. Therefore, we can and we should bring forward a massive resistance as we do on other fronts.

How do we do burst the bubble?

How can we practically unmask the politicality of technology to people outside the digital sector?

How do we popularize digital media critique?

What forms of art, workshops, and formats could take advantage of?

On Wed 11 June, at 14:00 UTC, I will be hosting an online round-table session with @transparenttech to discuss and try to answer these questions.

I will be briefly sharing my experience and my ideas after making Knitting Our Internet. Above all, though, I want to welcome any kind of contributions to address this mission in a multifaceted, intercultural, intersectional, and decolonial way.

Today is the International Open Hackerspace Day! 👾

I didn’t know about this (thank you for sharing your discovery, @liaizon), but it’s a wonderful coincidence that this very day at 15:00 I’ll be hosting Knitting Our Internet at the newly open SCIFT Makespace! The workshop will most probably be in Italian, but we’ll be open to switch to English if non-Italian speakers are coming.

See this event on Balotta, the local Gancio instance for Bologna 🤘

This is going to be the last stop of the Knitting Our Internet Italy Tour. After the workshop, I’m going to Queen Of Saba’s concert, in case you want to join and see one of the most incredible (and my favorite) artists!

🧶 La Nostra Rete

Labàs, sabato 29 marzo alle ore 15:00 CET

La Nostra Rete è un viaggio interattivo nella storia di Internet e un ripensamento collettivo del suo futuro.

L’attività consiste in un laboratorio in presenza che dà esempi semplici e tangibili di come funziona Internet, mettendo in questione i fondamenti tecnici su cui si basano i social media mainstream di oggi. Il suo obiettivo principale è smascherare i problemi del capitalismo della sorveglianza, della centralizzazione e il loro impatto ambientale.

Dopo aver riconosciuto le sfide digitali che dobbiamo affrontare, le persone partecipanti sono incoraggiate a reinterpretare i social network partendo dalla decentralizzazione e immaginando futuri digitali più umani, corali e partecipativi.

I regret choosing ourinternet.in as the domain for my #workshop

Shortlist for the new, final domain decision. Can you help me?

(Consider that the same domain will be used also for other languages, so it should be somewhat understandable and easy to spell for non-English-speaking people)

I created my first #zine!

Its title is Knitting Our Internet, and it is quite messy and ugly, but I consider it the essence of what I have been studying/working on for the past couple of years.

I am very grateful to @zelf, who hosted the zine making workshop at #p4p, stimulating me to create this.

I am thinking non-stop about next steps. For sure I will be creating a website for the homonymous workshop I have been hosting in many different occasions.

Then maybe a little story/novel about the history of the #Internet and the current #DWeb, #hacking, #FreeSoftware movements?

(In the pictures there is a couple of pages missing in the middle, couldn’t add more images to the post)

#DWeb #noCloud #decentralization #SmallWeb #OurNet #LaNostraRete #p2p #Fediverse #zines #Internet #SoftwareFreedom #workshop

My hand holding the zine with Tempelhof Park in the background.

COVER PAGE:
A big all-caps writing with the title: “Knitting our internet”, then, written in smaller size: “a.k.a. how to make Internet Internet again – with: love, joy, craziness, empathy, antifascism, anticapitalism…”

All the writings are in red, and at the top and bottom of the page there are alternating skewed yellow and black stripes, mimicking the symbols of a work in progress.My hand holding the zine with Tempelhof Park in the background.

PAGES 2-3:
The title of this section is written in black at the top: “The internet right now”.
There are red lines of paper sticked to the pages with tape, and intersecting in the middle.

On the left, a big all-caps writing with the text: “Who is here?”, with an arrow pointing at the intersection point. On the right, a little writing in purple reciting: “you are here”, with an arrow pointing to a dot placed at the extreme of one red stripe.My hand holding the zine with Tempelhof Park in the background.

PAGES 6-7:
The title of this section is written a big all-caps writing in red, with the text at the top: “The internet right now”.

A bunch of words are written randomly around the pages: “sprinkly”, “fun”, “green”, “intense”, “weird”, “welcoming”, “decentralized”, “small”, “open”, “complex”, “collective”, “cozy”.

On the bottom-right, a tiny text in black: “and many more nice things that are different for everyone and can’t fit in here”My hand holding the zine with Tempelhof Park in the background.

END PAGE:
A small writing: “…It’s an eternal WIP”
A big all-caps writing with the text: “Let’s build it together”, then, written in smaller size: “Want to chat about it?” Then my Fediverse username and my website.

All the writings are in red, and at the top and bottom of the page there are alternating skewed yellow and black stripes, mimicking the symbols of a work in progress.

How would you communicate with people overseas without Internet access?

Government restrictions can drive Internet fragmentation and leave thousands without access to online communication platforms like WhatsApp or Skype.
