SUMMARY:⚙️ Neo-Luddite Reading Group: 'The Human Use of Human Beings' by Norbert Wiener
DESCRIPTION:Our next book for the Neo-Luddite Reading Group will be The Human Use of Human Beings by Norbert Wiener (1950\, revised 1954). Let’s split this one in three\, since mostly everyone seemed to like the idea of splitting the book into parts. That means for our meeting on October 3rd\, we’ll discuss up to Chapter 3 (until p 48).  We’ll finish it at the start of December. \nMeetup link\nAfter that we’ll read Race After Technology by Ruha Benjamin (could maybe pair it with chapters from Artificial Whiteness\, unless we just feel like reading it in its entirety in the future.

SUMMARY:🖼 Steganography for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 23rd at 4 p.m. we’re running a beginner-friendly workshop on steganography. You’ll use the command-line program steghide to hide encrypted messages in JPEG files in a way that’s theoretically undetectable. \nWe’ll have computers to share\, but bring a laptop if you have one! If you’re using macOS or Windows\, we recommend installing Docker before the event. This workshop is presented in collaboration with Practice Gallery. \nSteganography is the practice of representing information within another message or physical object\, in such a manner that the presence of the information is not evident to human inspection. In computing/electronic contexts\, a computer file\, message\, image\, or video is concealed within another file\, message\, image\, or video. The word steganography comes from Greek steganographia\, which combines the words steganós (στεγανός)\, meaning “covered or concealed”\, and -graphia (γραφή) meaning “writing”. (Wikipedia) \nFlyer art by Pixel \nRegister:\n\n \nEcho Broadcast is an exhibition at Practice Gallery that explores fear and reverence to our complex relationship to ubiquitous technologies. The show highlights artists whose works are grounded in material reality\, debunking the effortlessness of the cloud\, examining techno-spiritualism\, tech-capitalism\, and the idea of the techno-utopian future. \nArtists and organizations involved in the exhibition include: Suzanne Kite\, Jenny Vogel\, Meredith Haines\, Joshua Marquez\, Charlotte Greene\, Quarantine Public Library\, Iffy Books\, Sound Museum Collective\, and Lino Kino. The exhibition is curated by Quinton Maldonado and Jazmyn Crosby.

Since inception\, the program has gathered almost $235\,000\, and this year’s event is sure to bump that over $250\,000! Due to the abominable conditions that political prisoners and freedom fighters are subjected to\, and the prevalence of health issues from medical neglect\, they need our support now more than ever. Join us as we celebrate our successes this last year and build momentum for the struggles ahead! We will both celebrate Dr. Mutulu Shakur’s release from prison since our last event and recommit ourselves to the ideals he dedicated his life to <3. \n

SUMMARY:🎵 Velocities 2 in West Philly
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be tabling and running a workshop at VELOCITIES 2 on Saturday\, September 16th\, presented by Meantime. The event will be at the Leader Theater in West Philly (4102 Lancaster Avenue). It’s free! We’ll be there 12–6 p.m.\, with performances continuing until 9. \n➡️ Get a free ticket for the festival\nFrom noon to 2 p.m. we’re running a free workshop called Store data on a cassette tape & play it back!\n \nIn this workshop you’ll convert text data into audio using the program minimodem\, then record the audio to a cassette tape. Then you’ll use minimodem to play back your text onscreen in real time. We’ll provide computers and tape decks\, and everyone who participates will get a couple free cassette tapes. \nWe’ll also teach you to experiment with different bit rates and encoding formats. We’ve been using Bell 202-style ASCII encoding at 100 baud (bits per second) because it works reliably and plays back at a comfortable reading speed. Using these encoding settings\, a 60-minute cassette tape can store ~34 KB of data. \nIf you want to record a specific text file to a cassette tape\, we recommend bringing it on a USB drive. We can’t guarantee we’ll have internet access on the day of the event. \nRegister for our workshop at noon:\n\n  \nDownload the\n  MP4\n  video.

SUMMARY:💾🌾 Iffy Books Permacomputing Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Our next permacomputing meetup is on Sunday\, September 10th at 3:30 PM EDT. You can join us in person at Iffy Books (319 N. 11th St. #2I\, PHL) or via Jitsi Meet. \n➡️ 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:📕 Author Event: 'Sordidez' by E.G. Condé
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 9th at 7 p.m. we’re hosting a reading and Q&A with E.G. Condé\, author of the novel Sordidez. Hope to see you there! \nE.G. Condé is an anthropologist of technology and an emerging speculative fiction writer of the Puerto Rican diaspora. His short fiction appears in If There’s Anyone Left\, Reckoning\, EASST Review\, Tree and Stone\, Sword & Sorcery\, and Solarpunk Magazine. Stay connected to his writing at his website or follow him on social media via @CloudAnthro. \nAbout Sordidez: \nVero has always felt at odds with his community. As a trans man in near-future Puerto Rico\, he struggles to gain acceptance for his identity and his vision of an inclusive society. After a hurricane decimates the island and Puerto Rico is abandoned by the United States\, Vero leaves his home to petition the centralized government for aid and seek the truth about new colonists arriving on the island. But in the Yucatan\, Vero finds a landscape ravaged by an ecological disaster of humanity’s own making-the Hydrophage\, a climate technology warped into a weapon of war and released onto the land by the dictator Caudillo. Amidst the destruction\, Vero finds both desperation and hope for regrowth as he documents the lives of the survivors. Details about the colonists’ intentions emerge when Vero meets the Loba Roja\, an anti-Caudillo revolutionary who imagines the renewed power of the Maya. Intrigued by her vision of the future and her unapologetic violence\, Vero is faced with life-changing questions: can an Indigenous resurgence protect his beloved island? And what must he sacrifice to support it? \nInterview with E.G. Condé \nSordidez reviewed in Publishers Weekly \n  \nPhoto credit: Jon Sachs
