Workshop: Recomputing the Planet

This workshop explores the problem of computing on earth – the forms of sourcing and extraction, energy and water, waste and repair that constitute the metabolism of the computing enterprise (and increasingly the planet as a whole). Working through a series of exercises (‘Do you know where your LLM has been?’) participants will learn to map the lines from computational sourcing to waste (passing briefly through use) while imagining lives and livelihoods along the way.  They will then work through a second series of exercises (‘lines to circles’ and ‘regenerative AI’) drawing loosely from permaculture principles to play and imagine a different set of futures and outcomes – computing and AI alterworlds – that are different and other from the line we are on.

Steven Jackson is a Professor of Information Science and Science and Technology Studies and Vice-Provost for Academic Innovation at Cornell University.  His work combines theoretical and methodological traditions from pragmatism, critical theory, and the interpretive social sciences to study how people build and maintain order, value and meaning in and with the worlds around them.  He’s especially interested in problems of infrastructure, repair, and hope, and the times and places where new computational practices meet shifting social and material worlds, with implications for sustainability, inequality, and collectivity.  His most recent venture is the Computing On Earth Lab, an experimental collaboration that brings together social scientists, humanists, artists and engineers to rethink the material and planetary foundations of computing.
