Complicit Chips

5-6 October 2024, Brussels

Complicit Chips was a 2 day worksession during which an international group of researchers, activists, and artists dived into the nebulous world of software-operated hardware. Starting from the high density chips produced by NVIDIA, we attempted to get our heads around the much needed divestment from a computer industry complicit in organized violence at borders and in occupied territories, while being so pervasive in running our most mundane daily activities

The session was hosted by TITiPI, and included inputs from Mona Hedayati, Cassandra Troyan and Michelle Pfeifer. The rest of the weekend we worked in smaller groups.

Through our time together, we initiated a proposal for collaboration in a divestment campaign, extension of pre-existing mapping of genocidal infrastructures, hands on work to understand how these chips operate and some analysis of the aesthetisation of military technology.
