"one can read Haraway as making this more, rather than less vulgar. She asks messy questions about how gender and sexuality are caught up in productive and reproductive labor – and even in relations that are not obviously either [...] the cyborg is among other things a kind of counter-myth. Buried within the knotty writing of that text is a nugget of science fiction, drawing in particular on feminist utopian and science fiction writing. A contemporary writer who I think takes this kind of project to the next level is Kim Stanley Robinson. He is unapologetically a science fiction genre writer aiming at a popular – and in that sense ‘vulgar’ – readership [...] The sciences are a source of not only specific forms of knowledge in Robinson but also orientations to working in and against nature. One of the problems he highlights – not unlike Bogdanov – is how different labors and forms of technical knowledge can coordinate and cooperate in the absence of an overarching philosophical master-code.

Revision as of 15:19, 4 November 2024
Coordinator: SysterServer - xm (oooo) and Mara
Contributors: xm and Mara
from local networks to circumvention to intranets
P2P internet infrastructure: Domain, VPN Server (Tinc VPN), DNS, web server (nginx), and networked configuration; social and network typology, proxy, what are the affordances of the network and operations of protocols?
murthaugh and karagianni : https://psaroskalazines.gr/pdf/rosa_beta_25_jan_23.pdf
ezn / updated :: https://etherpad.hackersanddesigners.nl/p/hd_infrastructures-tinc
methodology: metaphors, analogy, visualise intersecting/sourcing with diff domains (arts, activism, literature, choreography)
/// -- sociopolitical theory around VPN Federation/ decentralization/ distributed services/ networking politics
// ---- organisational aesthetics, commodity frontiers, debugging, troubleshooting together
update 2nd novembre 2024
Structure
Technological context:
politics of networks
History and topology of VPN --- what types of networks? origin/evolution of terminology
differences between local and public/static IP --- scarcity of ipv4, how are they assigned, and ipv6. Politics and economics of IP distribution, how do they impose power structures? see internet governance talk and notes by Vesna during /etc
break down the differences between mesh VPN, VPN for proxy
Positionality of feminist servers:
vulgar feminists
systerserver and allies, centralized IP, contributes to small scale server hosting, generating a cultural current in technical, aesthetical, social and political terms (Goriunova, 2012)
by making infrastructures visible with the aid of diagrams, manuals, metaphors, performances, systerserver traverses technical knowledge with an aim to de-cloud (Hilfling Ritasdatter, Gansing, 2024) our data, and redistribute our networks of machines.
