DDC Online Assembly

After a first meeting in Prague, on the 20th of May online, we convene the next Democratic Digital Commons Assembly, Who owns our digital world, and what would it mean to reclaim it collectively? 

We will be joined by expert speakers such as Ulises Mejias, co-author of The Costs of Connection: How Data Is Colonizing Human Life and Appropriating It for Capitalism and Data Grab: The New Colonialism of Big Tech and How to Fight Back. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, who uses digital arts & new technologies to center & archive black-trans experiences and transforms games to a space of activism, and, AI & Planetary Justice, a collective of researchers, activists and artists exploring the planetary justice impacts of AI across its supply chain from mineral extraction, to energy & water usage of data centers, to end of life & electronic waste.

Together we will begin to unpick the current set up of our digital infrastructure, its usage of our collective resources, and begin the call for a democratic digital commons. This is a space to contribute to the direction of our shared advocacy, to think together across borders, and to shape what comes next. Open to all, mark your calendar and join us.
