China y EEUU luchan por dominar la infraestructura global del sXXI. Esa batalla no está teniendo lugar en el ciberespacio ni lo tuvo nunca. No hay un mundo de los píxeles y un mundo de los átomos. Sólo existe este, el nuestro. Mi columna de hoy en @elpais.com elpais.com/opinion/2025...

Missed our performance at the #Alhambra? No sweat >>> TRACEROUTE POEMS. Segundo viaje w/ @mariosantamaria.bsky.social <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3QK... #Cultur_ALH #elit

L'artiste @mariosantamaria.bsky.social détourne Google Street View pour reconstituer le parcours d'un câble sous-marin de fibre optique près de Barcelone. Une façon poétique de révéler l'infrastructure invisible qui porte nos données et questionner notre dépendance à ces réseaux cachés.

Daniela Vaccaro about my falling avatar in becoming.press "The collapse of the image expresses the limits of representation models and the unbridgeable gap between the vectorial epistemic regime of techno-capitalism and lived experience." becoming.press/zones-of-off...

Incredible satellite image of the 33 (!!!!) operational fossil fuel combustion engines at the site of Elon Musk's XAI data centre “appalling that xAI would operate more than 30 methane gas turbines without any permits or any public oversight" @selc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Someone distributing anonymous fliers to residents: "The fliers say that the generators are low emissions and are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Shelby county health department. Both of those agencies have said they did not issue permits for xAI’s gas generators."

Not to be missed!!
