PIKSEL DIY Thread presentation today 5:30 @ stwst, Linz. Don't miss it! stwst84x11.stwst.at/diy_thread #PikselFestival #stwst ##arselectronica

Neuroscientist @rafaelyuste.bsky.social and international human rights lawyer Jared Genser join “How to Fix the Internet” to discuss setting solid legal guardrails to ensure neurotechnology serves people, not vice versa.

Risk terrain modeling “is a mathematical way of justifying a type of policing in certain people and neighborhoods that police have already wanted to surveil,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told @kansas.com. www.kansas.com/news/local/...

Maja Smrekar’s internationally acclaimed work K-9 Topology was highly misused in a far-right campaign in Slovenia. Across Europe, artists face similar growing threats. These issues will be addressed at the 2025 conference Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art & Science (TTT). Interview.

Igjen måtte en norsk statsminister holde tale om de dødelige konsekvensene av rasisme og høyreekstremisme. Dette er hva Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) sa på Youngstorget søndag om motivet bak drapet på Tamima Nibras Juhar (34) og gjerningsmannens antatte plan om å drepe muslimer i en moské i Hønefoss:

Resistance is not a single action but a flurry of actions. Create: Voting blocs Protest blocs Legal blocs Mutual aid blocs Medical blocs Education blocs Self defense blocs Social media defense blocs Every action counts if taken in the same direction. #3E

You can’t vote your way out of regressive fascism, that said voting is not useless. It’s a twist on a tourniquet, it helps tighten the wound so the body doesn’t die, however it won’t permanently stop the bleeding on its own. Every action counts and all put together you’ve got a shot at victory. #3E

End of august trip to KUBU. Kulturhus Bjärkboda was started four years ago by my good friends Sari and Tuomo. It's an independent culture center with awesome program and you should all visit it asap! Next summer I will be organising Synth camp there for the fourth time. kubu.fi

We want to share a look back at the First Supper Symposium, where we joined an inspiring day of talks and perspectives on how AI is affecting artists today — from appropriation to obfuscation, from closed to open models.
