A conference about the past, present, and future of building our own network infrastructures. This year we ask: What kinds of creative and critical engagement with technology practices can enable meaningful change when we do it with others?
Our theme focuses on how we can Do It With Others (DIWO) as opposed to just ourselves as we build new network infrastructures and draws on the distributed campaign for emancipatory, networked art practices, instigated by UK-based Furtherfield (2006) as a response to the Do It Yourself (DIY) movement. We have seen a growing number of peer-to-peer, inclusive, and privacy-respecting projects mobilizing in favour of resilient, accessible, equitable communications over the internet in 2017. And yet many open questions remain. In the face of threats to the open internet, which tools and tactics will help us recognize the opportunities and challenges of this moment?
We have three admission types: Organization Support, Supporter, and Reduced Cost. If it is difficult to attend even with a reduced cost admission, please contact us at orga@ournetworks.ca. We are able to sport a limited number of scholarships and also are looking for volunteers interested in helping at the event in return for complimentary admission.
Our Networks has a Code of Conduct, which we ask all attendees to review: https://ournetworks.ca/code-of-conduct/
