I was part of a workshop on “tiny tech futures” organised by Angela YT Chan and Bóxī Wú with the Sunlight Liberation Network (SLN), Arts Catalyst and European Cultural Foundation:

The aim of this online session was to explore the shared meanings of tiny tech and how its infrastructures can playfully nurture participatory and greener digital creative practices. Where concerns around labour and planetary consumption economies of soft/hardware and e-waste exacerbate climate and social injustices, ‘tiny tech’ infrastructures are low-tech and self-hosted technologies that challenge the scale, centralisation and extractivism of contemporary digital technologies. They can take the shape of a solar-powered server for a hobby run from your bedroom, participatory data projects that enable communities to engage with local ecological issues or speculative explorations of what tiny tech futures could look like.
