The #CalifornianIdeology:
"This new faith has emerged from a bizarre fusion of the cultural bohemianism of San Francisco with the hi-tech industries of #SiliconValley. Promoted in magazines, books, TV programmes, websites, newsgroups and Net conferences, the Californian Ideology promiscuously combines the free-wheeling spirit of the #hippies and the entrepreneurial zeal of the #yuppies. This amalgamation of opposites has been achieved through a profound faith in the emancipatory potential of the new information technologies. In the #digitalutopia, everybody will be both hip and rich. Not surprisingly, this optimistic vision of the future has been enthusiastically embraced by computer nerds, slacker students, innovative capitalists, social activists, trendy academics, futurist bureaucrats and opportunistic politicians across the USA."

In a prism of thought, suns set and rise on a geometric sea, mirrored cities of hues at dusk and dawn, an abstract utopia wrapped in a kaleidoscope's embrace.

Invisible Labor and Digital Utopias
@audreywatters
"If #digitalutopia doesn’t see our bodies, it makes sense it cannot see our work. If digital utopia cannot imagine our existence, it makes sense it will not value our presence.
"So I’ve been thinking a lot about #permissions & #openness… wonder if “permission-less-ness”… is built on some unexamined exploitation and extraction of labor – on invisible, unvalued work. Whose digital utopia does “openness” represent?"
