Towards Cloud Abolition: articulations, contestations and reimaginations of computational infrastructures
2026-04-12 , Seminar room 7
Language: English

In various projects, we hypothesize that computational infrastructures —made up of clouds plus end devices, concentrated in the hands of a few tech companies— function as a factory that is swallowing public and private institutions alike, while driving inequalities and violence, globally.


In various projects, we hypothesize that computational infrastructures —made up of clouds plus end devices, concentrated in the hands of a few tech companies— function as a factory that is swallowing public and private institutions alike, while driving inequalities and violence, globally. In this session, we introduce some of the creative methods we are developing in various coalitions to articulate, contest and reimagine our computational infrastructures.
