Trebor Scholz – From Vibe to Viability: A Methodology for Building Transformative Alternatives in the Digital Economy

RMIT University, Melbourne
Event Categories:

, ,

Every time you order a meal, obtain directions, query an AI chatbot, or access your child’s virtual classroom, you’re interacting with a multi-sided digital platform—and you trade in more than just time or money. You relinquish data. You perform unpaid labor. And in nearly every case, that data, along with the profits, leaves your community and flows to distant companies with no stake in your local economy.

Network anarchy and unstable diffusions

RMIT Media Portal
Event Categories:

,

Once imagined as a decentralised utopia of free knowledge, DIY culture, and radical sharing, the internet has now evolved into a dystopia of crypto millionaires, fascist bots, doomscrolling, and algorithmic control.
