1. Why preserve the archive? (exuberance, potentialities, political imaginary, etc)
|
||
|
|
1. Not just the ecological problem, but the cultural problem.
|
||
|
|
2. Not less, more of the right thing. (Keito Saito)
|
||
|
|
3. A grey world of rented space and rented rooms, interpellated by capital.
|

|
|
4. Alienation as the inability to write information.
|
||
|
|
5. Preservation of difference, diversity, ambiguity, etc.
|
||
|
|
6. Bataille, The Accursed Share
|
||
|
|
2. The digital medium of archiving (difference, context, information)
|
||
|
|
1. Shannon, A Mathematical Theory of Communication
|
||
|
|
2. Bateson, Steps to an Ecology of Mind
|
||
|
|
3. The problem of maintaining the medium
|
||
|
|
1. Vernacular infrastructure

3. Steal This Book, Abbie Hoffman
|
||
|
|
4. Tools for Conviviality, Ivan Illich

|
|
4. Problems with existing digital infrastructure
|
||
|
|
1. Complexity which leads to bureaucracy due to the exception outside of the system
|
||
|
|
2. Lock-in: dependency on existing systems
|
||
|
|
3. Two watershed moments
|
||
|
|
4. Enshittification: locked into the attention economy.
|
||
|
|
5. Search of mixed-media

5. New directions in digital infrastructure
|
||
|
|
1. Infinite use of finite means
|
||
|
|
2. Programming system as material (convivial forms), instead of tool with a function.
|
||
|
|
3. Autoprogettazione, Enzo Mari
|
||
|
|
4. The aesthetic of compression, simple tools which produce complex artifacts.
|
||
|
|
5. Permacomputing, sustainability through simplicity
