You can join us in person (404 S. 20th St.\, PHL) or remotely via Jitsi Meet. \nĀ  \nāž”ļø Virtual meetup link\nFromĀ Permacomputing.net:Ā 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.Ā 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.Ā If you want to know more\, please start reading about what isĀ permacomputingĀ in essence\, and then dive into itsĀ principles. \nPermacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Design Constraints in Computational Culture by Mansoux\, Howell\, Barok\, and HeikkilƤ (2023) URL:https://iffybooks.net/event/permacomputing-solarpunk-meetup-2/2026-11-11/ LOCATION:Iffy Books\, 404 S. 20th St.\, Philadelphia\, 19146\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Permacomputing_sm.gif ORGANIZER;CN="Iffy Books":MAILTO:iffybooks@iffybooks.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261111T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261111T163000 DTSTAMP:20261010T201946Z CREATED:20261010T201652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261010T201946Z UID:10004739-1794405600-1794414600@iffybooks.net SUMMARY:šŸ“¼ Analog A/V Session DESCRIPTION:Come experiment with VHS tapes and audio cassettes!
