→ Quand fragmentation d’Internet rime avec profits

« Toute une série d’exemples soulignent comment des acteurs du secteur privé, souvent en raison de leurs modèles #économiques, représentent de véritables défis pour l’unité de l’#Internet, en œuvrant à sa #fragmentation aussi bien au niveau des #infrastructures de l’Internet, que de sa couche #applicative. »

« La prise de conscience de ces #menaces qui pèsent sur l’unité d’Internet peut nous inciter à #agir. »

"An archaeology of #knowledgegraphs and their mutation from the liberatory aspirations of the #semanticweb gives us an underexplored lens to understand contemporary #informationsystems. I explore how the ideology of cloud systems steers 2 NIH & NSF projects intended to build info #infrastructures for the #publicgood to inevitable corporate capture, facilitating the development of a new kind of multilayered public/private #surveillance system."

We dig up our conversation w/ sound artist Reni Hofmüller rwm.macba.cat/ca/sonia/sonia-3

In the 90s, 20 minutes was all it took for local authorities in Graz to detect+neutralise any illegal radio transmitter. Back then, Reni was part of a group of activists who took over the airwaves with pirate broadcasts every Sunday from the mountains surrounding the city. From that seed, we unpack Reni's obsession with dismantling the invisible in order to understand+question it.

Christine Borgman and Amy Brand are right: "The current state of #OpenData in scholarly publishing is in transition from ‘nice to have’ to ‘need to have.’" And this fact has consequences: "To make research processes more trustworthy, transparent, and verifiable, stakeholders need to make greater investments in data stewardship and knowledge #infrastructures."

"Until degrowth becomes an urgent and imperative watchword, industrial capitalism will continue to interpret the demands of social movements as technical challenges".

"We cannot be satisfied with improving the energy efficiency of data storage while Internet traffic increases exponentially. We cannot continue to deploy satellites en masse on the assumption that some of them will provide a better understanding of deforestation..."

👋 folks, here is my #introduction.

#GenX guy that live in Lausanne Switzerland 🇨🇭🇫🇷.

#introduction toot - I'm an assistant prof. of sociology at the University of Haifa. I study #algorithms / #data / #AI from a qualitative, critical, empirical perspective.
My current projects include algorithmic production in #SiliconValley, data #infrastructures in Israel, Israeli #surveillance firms, #aiethics, #microbiome science, and more.
In a previous life, I also wrote about #ptsd, online #depression, #emotions, and more.
Oh, and this 👇 is Bella.

#introduction - Hello, I am a postdoc at the Deutsches Museum in Munich & a lecturer at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. My broader research interests center on the intersections of #envhist #histtech #histsci #envtech #envjust #envhum.

Most recent books: “The Birth of #Geoengineering. Large-Scale Engineering Projects in the Early Stage of the #Anthropocene” (Wallstein 2021) & “Beyond the Lab and the Field. #Infrastructures as Places of #Knowledge Production” (co-ed. Eike-Christian Heine; Univ. of Pittsburgh Press 2022)

My current project deals with the history of #creosote and railway #maintenance cultures. The material history of this coal tar oil – used until today for wood impregnation of railway ties & utility poles – combines research perspectives from the #histtech (such as on #maintenance and #repair) with #envhist and #materialhistory. Its name is connected today with dozens of contaminated land sites, tons of hazardous waste, and burning #environmentaljustice issues.
