Last night, we watched Hail Mary in Friedrichshain, and we were surprised and moved by the inclusion of Violeta Parra’s “Gracias a la vida” (Mercedes Sosa’s version) in the film's soundtrack. Thank you to whoever made that decision! #VioletaParra

Zachary Furste ( @iiil.li ) and I are working on a #permacomputing project through which we are facilitating the creation of a network for collectively preserving endangered #archives. It's called compost.cc and you can learn more by visiting the about section: compost.cc/about

Reading Eco's book Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language and its great to see him correct this very common error of Lacan and the post structuralists directly

New, from me.

new article out! The Redemption of Saint Max: Stirner's Critique of Marx In: Marx and the Critique of Humanism. ed. Andres Saenz de Sicilia (Bloomsbury, 2026) philarchive.org/rec/BLUTRO-13

Two Central European powers are now planning to develop a nuclear arsenal together. Two countries that have been besieged by internal fascism for years. And in one of these countries, the local fascist party could join the government coalition in the foreseeable future. The stupidest move ever!

These MFs have just ruined this beautiful statue honoring the #workers who built the television tower in #Berlin by placing a horrible skyscraper wannabe in front of the tower – they just hate the city’s historical traces of #socialism

Yesterday we saw the Chilean movie Matapanki at the Berlinale. In the Q&A session, the director Mapache Fuentes said that the film project began as a joke and in the spirit of not taking movies too seriously… #Berlinale #Generation14Plus www.berlinale.de/en/2026/prog...

Back in 2023, I noticed the refreshed Ursula K. Le Guin website no longer had this essay. I reached out to ask if it could be restored, and a few days later someone from the foundation sent over the URL to show it was back online :)

Ein Deutscher hat mir heute gesagt, dass Wim Wenders ein Idiot ist — auf Deutsch … Und echt verärgert #Berlinale

I attended the “Critique of AI” roundtable organized by @ktbberlin.bsky.social today. It was really nice and refreshing to listen to Matteo Pasquinelli, Ana-Verena Nosthoff, Roland Meyer, and Rainer Mühlhoff in a big room full of diverse, committed people #AI #Critique #CriticalTheory #MediaTheory

I’ve been thinking about Bad Bunny’s last night speech. Especially on the “…we are Americans” part. I know that central & northern Europeans decided to forget it, or simply don’t care, but Latin Americans understand the word “American” as an equivalent to European, Asian, or African…

I just read Peter Galison’s “Planetary Vision”—very good paper—and experienced the most exciting interactive information visualization (?) I’ve seen on the web in a long time. You find it here: doi.org/10.1162/ANTI...

El fueguino sube al Caribe por tus punas espejadas; a criaturas de salares y de pinar lleva a las palmas. Nos devuelves al Quetzalcóatl acarreándonos al maya, y en las mesetas cansa-cielos donde es la luz transfigurada, braceadora, ata tus pueblos como juncales de sabana. Mistral #LatinAmerica

#Chile – people has been saying that this was going to happen for the last two of years, but I didn’t believe this was actually possibly until 3 or 2 months ago. And since I still don’t have something coherent to say about it, here the one thing made me feel good today youtu.be/p0BxzsEPJqE?...

Tom Jones Performs Prince’s “Purple Rain” Accompanied by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour (1992)

Last night, we saw “Androgynous. Portrait of a Naked Dancer” at the Gorki Theater in Berlin. Written and directed by Lola Arias, it’s a wonderful story about the impossibility of gender, the repetition of history, pain, and joy – I guess www.gorki.de/en/androgynous

When I was a child, I wanted to become an astronomer. Even now, whenever I look up at the night sky, it brings back memories of those days. This is a photo of Jupiter taken with DSLR-A700 + Kenko 500mm mirror lens. Maybe you can see Jupiter's bands. Well... this blur is pretty much like my life :)

The other day I paid a visit to the “Robotron – Code und Utopie” exhibition at the GfZK in Leipzig. It’s really a great show about technology, industry, politics, socialism, capitalism, and art. If you can, check it out (until February) #GDR #Computing #Socialism #Cybernetics

I do remember what the director of the Neue Nationalgalerie, Klaus Biesenbach, did and said after Nan Goldin's speech last year here in Berlin …

The excellent You Are Listening To website got a relaunch/reskin/reboot: youarelistening.to

Last Thursday, at the @proqm.bsky.social bookshop, I attended Daniel Ross’s presentation of his translation of Bernard Stiegler’s The Immense Regression – What is Called Caring? Vol. 1 (K. Verlag). It was a wonderful presentation of a book that seems to be a pharmakon itself

I had a great couple of days at the #SHOT2025 conference in Luxembourg. Our panel went really well and I enjoyed presenting my work there. I thank @iiil.li for inviting me and the SHOT/EDITH Special Interest Group for supporting me with a travel grant. I hope to see you all next year

Happy to report from Esch, Luxembourg where I’m participating in the 2025 Annual Conference of the Society of History of Technology (SHOT). Great presentations and dialogues going on. I’m presenting tomorrow morning. Excited. #SHOT2025 #HistoryofTechnology #MediaStudies #Chile #Cybernetics

I finally got a hard copy of this rare report – the state of telegraphy (and telex networks) in Chile by 1970. A key document to understand infrastructural undertakings that unfolded right after that #Chile #Telecommunications #Technology #History

Part of an ongoing conversation between @mbfazi.bsky.social and me on AI/LLMs as "synthetic media" -- more to come!

André Leroi-Gourhan was a pioneering French archaeologist, anthropologist, and philosopher whose work deeply influenced French philosophy of technology through his studies of human evolution, tools, and culture. 1/

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Today we commemorate the passing of Bernard Stiegler, one of the most original voices in contemporary philosophy of technology. 1/

En su vida doméstica, como en la interacción con sus amigos e incluso con quienes eran simples conocidos, creo que se puede decir que la principal característica de Karl Marx era su buen humor desatado y su simpatía ilimitada. jacobinlat.com/2022/01/algu...

Noch nie habe ich das von Piketty beschriebene Problem r > g anschaulicher erklärt gesehen als in diesem Video von Gary Stevenson:

30 years ago, over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered in the Srebrenica genocide. Today, politicians will say "never again". But they are letting it happen, again, in Gaza. We remember all victims of genocide, and vow to build a world that respects the humanity of all.

I just read the entire piece, and I must say that I look forward to seeing it become a reality
