This working group will focus on the friction between the dystopian/utopian aspects of networked existence. What got us to this place of warrantless wiretapping and data-capitalism? Is there a pathway through the current corporate-entangled edges of the network? Though all manner of utopian myths surround the early Internet, and by extension its forerunner, Sean Dockray and Public Office will discuss the beginnings that clearly define the ends – and the possibilities that live between the cracks.

It's a small room, RSVP recommended.

"There are many conversations that happen on social media that are worth archiving and re-presenting outside of the perpetual present of those platforms. The Facebook timeline is like a broken toilet, constantly flushing. The collective knowledge generated within a status updates that generates hundreds of comments or a particularly active and focused group needs to be rescued from the planned forgetfulness of social media."
