Offworld Voyage @ 39c3: Astronaut Collectives Are Beautiful (A progress report)

++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ The closing presentation at the Critical Decentralization Cluster assembly during 39C3 is a progress report on Offworld Voyage, a Space Analog Research project dedicated to the design of environmentally sustainable interplanetary exploration training habitats that also solve for adaptation to climate biodevastation on Earth. The talk will focus on some of the various ways in which Free/Libre Open Source technologies are incorporated into the project - with a strong focus on the development of decentralized and distributed coordination systems for autonomous and collective action - and how creative technologists can plug in and participate in the project. As a special show-and-tell treat Scott Beibin and Elizabeth Jane Cole, founders of Offworld Voyage will display the new pressurized training spacesuit prototypes they recently commissioned Smith Exploration Garments to build for the project. See you there!

The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is one of, if not arguably the most advanced Internet censorship systems in the world. Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn’t allowed falls upon the censorship measurement community, who run experiments over censored networks. In this talk, we’ll discuss two ways censorship measurement has evolved from passive experimentation to active attacks against the Great ...

While the extreme right is on the rise in many countries and climate change is unrolling, a promising future seems to be written: According to Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and some other “tech bros” it is to leave the dying planet to go to space. With the help of something called “A(G)I”. But what kind of future is the one that is promised? And what is the connection between power cycles of tech company owners and people who's believes can be called fascist? As we moved power through data in ...

OpenAutoLab, an open source machine, that is capable of processing contemporary color and black-and-white films for analogue photography, is being presented here. It made its first public appearance at 37C3 and was already seen there in action, but had no organized talk or proper presentation. Now it is better documented, waits to be built by more people and to be further developed by the community. This talk is about motivation behind developing OpenAutoLab and about the technical decisions ...

Typography is the art of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. However, for the neophyte, typography is mostly apprehended as the juxtaposition of characters displayed on the screen while for the expert, typography means typeface, scripts, unicode, glyphs, ascender, descender, tracking, hinting, kerning, shaping, weigth, slant, etc. Typography is actually much more than the mere rendering of glyphs and involves many different concepts. If glyph ...
