Tomorrow I am participating at
"Vaping Networks Reloaded" at Kulturdrogerie vienna
Talk with Christina Gruber, Felix Lenz
Friday, November 15, 2024, 3 - 6 pm
Will an Organic Internet Save Our Analog Environments? As part of the exhibition “Thirsty Data”, the artist Christina Gruber together with Davide Bevilacqua and Felix Lenz will discuss about the extractive thirst of internet and how technologies have reshaped the world.
Vaping Networks was the symposium we realized in 2019 in cooperation with the #kunstuni #linz -> https://vaping-networks.radical-openness.org/
Now, five years later, we revisit the "Vaping Networks” to reflect on the current developments of IT's impact, considering the forced digitalization during pandemic, the blockchain & NFT book, and finally now the AI-hype and subsequent hyperscale datacenters.

Yesterday at the talk participated also Felix Lenz, who showed us snippets of his new work "Brute Force".
"Felix is a research-led artist and filmmaker based in Vienna.
His analytic investigations in geopolitical, ecological and technological matters translate in meticulous installations, films and strategies. By carefully untying the complexities of an increasingly uncertain world, his works unpick the way we look at things."
That was his project Brute Force https://www.felixlenz.at/project/brute-force
Felix's website is also solar powered

I could not find his personal profile yet on the fediverse – would be lovely to have people like Felix Lenz here
