Presenting the 11th issue of the Algorithms of Late-Capitalism zine: “Rendering the Body/ies of AI Visible”

🤖 Self-printing Edition + Pop-up Instructions 🤖 Digital Edition

——————————————

Inside the following pages, you will glimpse the hidden labour that powers so-called intelligent technologies; navigate a map of the vast network of geological resources that power AI systems; encounter speculative futures that re-imagine data infrastructure in symbiosis with nature; and much more!

SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

This zine was designed as an interactive pop-up book that takes full advantage of the materiality of zines as printed media to reflect on the often-ignored materiality of AI technologies. In this zine, you can lift real curtains to see what is hidden behind the metaphorical curtains of our everyday AI technologies. To experience the pop-up zine as intended, you have to assemble it yourself after printing.

Presenting the 10th issue of the Algorithms of Late-Capitalism zine: “Data Gardens” 🤖 Digital Edition 🤖 Self-printing Edition ——————————————

Immerse yourself in a garden of data. A place where data is not immaterial bits aggregated and analyzed by automated systems, but rather nurtured and cared for as material and relational.

Presenting the 9th issue of the Algorithms of Late-Capitalism zine: “Kaleidoscopic Futures” 🤖 Digital Edition 🤖 Self-printing Edition ——————————————

Looking through a kaleidoscope reframes reality in unexpected and spectacular ways. Its refracting lens allows us to see our world as an array of multiplicities, reconfigured into a captivating vision of something new and different.

In this edition of Algorithms of Late-Capitalism we ask: what happens if we view our technological reality through a kaleidoscopic lens comprised of radically different values, perspectives, experiences, and knowledges?

To create such spectacular speculative visions, we invited our zine workshop participants to consult with the Oracle of Transfeminist Technologies and use its prismatic perspective to create new and inspiring kaleidoscopic visions of the future.
