The workshop led by Ola Bonati and Brendan Howell aims to provide participants with a playful exploration of the concepts and philosophy of permacompiting. In one day, we will experiment with alternative ways of communication using repurposed electronics and based on speculative futures. We will create role-playing scenarios in which constant (and instant) access to the network is not a given. Can we force ourselves to think of resource-minimalist futures while living in a maximalist reality? How can we regain some of the agency by stepping out of the mainstream use of media? How can we apply permacomputing principles in our daily practice? We invite you to join us in pursuit of answers to these questions!
