INFRA-RESISTANCE
The INFRA-RESISTANCE network of networks is an informal gathering of activists, artists, designers and organisers working on and with computational infrastructures. They came together at the end of 2023 to figure out together what techno-practices can be relevant in the context of genocidal violence in Palestine and in solidarity with anti-colonial struggles. How to foreground infrastructuring practices that negotiate sovereignty, autonomy and interdependence as a way to resist computational monocultures in day-to-day actions and in generative/exuberant resistance to specific power arrangements, be them industrial, institutional or conceptual.
INFRA-RESISTANCE is an ongoing attempt to think through and activate the relationship between dominant computational infrastructures and all forms of oppression. We are for example concerned with current organising and archiving anti-colonial solidarity away from commercial cloud infrastructures (Instagram, Google docs, Whatsapp, Eventbrite, Wix, Zoom, ...). We are also busy with the complicity of tech companies in genocide that creeps into many corners of life.
The INFRA-RESISTANCE group does distributed collective research on issues such as dual use, chip production and archiving practices. We work with and develop digital tools outside Big Tech that can be used for organizing: some hoping to be more secure and useful than their cloud alternatives, others (also) creative or experimental.
We come together at regular meetings, a Signal channel and a mailinglist. Meetings so far have happened in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Grenoble and Barcelona.
