Abstract
Have you been wondering about the relationship between the global military-industrial complex and genocidal Big Tech? Why should we disinvest from these technologies, and how can we do it? Infrastructural Rehearsals Collective would like to host a discussion on resisting Big Tech infrastructure and the violences of the green economy. Participants are invited to bring questions and propositions through projects they are dreaming of or already involved in. Propositions might include everything from community organising against corporate tech takeovers and land defence, to zine making, de-install parties, or anti-colonial tech.
Participants will share questions, concerns, and practices across our different contexts and struggles. By doing so we establish a mutual commitment to recognizing how these violences, such as massive increases in computational demands, (via AI, chip factories, data centers, autonomous weapons systems) led by a green capitalist agenda are destroying the planet, and that another world without them is both necessary and possible.
Come ready to contribute, as the session will be shaped by those who are in attendance in order to have a conversation across practices, communities, and how these inform the modes of intervention needed.
