Spread the word! We are starting a new! Advanced! LLM! in Technology Governance!

It is an interdisciplinary program: You can enter with a masters #degree in law or any other discipline, if you have studied #law or have relevant work experience! We teach the EU #technology #regulation framework, but also the non-legal forms of tech #governance: #markets, #institutions, #design. Small program, so we have limited capacity!

The Algorithmic Resistance Research Group (ARRG!) is seeking collaborators! “Models for Making Distance” is a print zine gathering a multiplicity of manifestos, writing and instructions for art that confounds, confuses and misuses algorithmic systems for the pleasure of human observers or actors. It’s a playful but earnest bid for placing distance between ourselves and the tools designed to measure us. Deadline for submissions is December 1 2023. https://www.cyberneticforests.com/zine
Zine — Cybernetic Forests.
