SUMMARY:💾☀️ Permacomputing + Solarpunk Meetup
DESCRIPTION:The Permacomputing + Solarpunk meetup is the first Wednesday every other month at Iffy Books! You can join us in person (404 S. 20th St.\, PHL) or remotely via Jitsi Meet. \n➡️ Virtual meetup link\nFrom Permacomputing.net: Permacomputing is a more sustainable approach to computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in digital technology. In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste\, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach\, maximizing hardware lifespans\, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this because humans are part of nature and technology is an extension of humans\, and we acknowledge that technology has been used to harm nature. We want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of life could be\, and what sort of transformative computational culture and aesthetics it could bring forward. If you want to know more\, please start reading about what is permacomputing in essence\, and then dive into its principles. \nPermacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Design Constraints in Computational Culture by Mansoux\, Howell\, Barok\, and Heikkilä (2023)

SUMMARY:👾 HDMI Video Throwie Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop you’ll use a Pi Pico microcontroller to send low-res (320×240) digital video to an HDMI display. Despite its limitations\, the cool thing about this device is that it’s inexpensive enough that you can plug it in somewhere (perhaps a wall of TVs at an electronics store) and leave it behind for prank/art/propaganda purposes. The term “throwie” usually refers to a battery-powered device such as an LED light or radio transmitter with magnets on the back\, tossed onto a high metal surface where it can’t easily be reached. \nYour Pi Pico will generate video in the DVI-D format rather than the newer HDMI standard. But because HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI-D\, your device should work with any HDMI monitor or TV. \nHere’s what’s in the kit:\n\nPi Pico board w/ microUSB port\nPico DVI video sock\ninsulated wire (4″)\nheat shrink tubing (3″)\n\nHere’s what else you’ll need:\n\nHDMI cable\nmicroUSB cable with data connection\ncomputer (macOS/Linux/Windows)\nsoldering iron\nlead-free solder\nflux paste\nheader pins (optional)\nwire stripping tool (optional)\n\n➡️ Instructions \nRegister\nRegistration for this event is now closed. We'll offer it again soon! \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:⚙️ Neo-Luddite Reading Group: 'Mood Machine' by Liz Pelly
DESCRIPTION:➡️ Virtual Meetup Link\nDiscord: Email neoluddite@victorgom.es for an invite! \nFull schedule: victorgom.es/neoluddite \nIf you’re joining for the first time\, I’d suggest you read this before anything else for brief context: What the Luddites Really Fought Against by Richard Conniff.The only expectation is that you read the chapter(s) of the book that’s listed for that meeting. You’re still welcome to participate if you haven’t done the readings as long as you are mindful. For each chapter\, I’ve also noted some optional readings for context\, so I’d suggest checking those out rather than reading ahead in the book. And remember\, if you ever find yourself struggling with any of the readings or concepts\, reach out! Either directly to me over email or to the entire group over discord.
