is presented as expressing concern about techno-surveillance capitalism
and abuse of power of hyper-structures such as industrial-scale
operation data centres consuming a massive amount of electricity, and
server farms consisting of thousands of computers which require a large
amount of power to run and to keep cool. Also, crypto mining has grown
exponentially in the last few years, growing their energy consumption.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">In
other words, cryptocurrency mining surpasses entire countries’ energy
consumption, so it urges to spread awareness about the potential
environmental costs of technology. smoltech is one of these
technological movements representing an alternative to tech development,
usage, and consumption.<br></div><div dir="ltr">smoltech is a movement
to reduce wasteful technology use. It promotes a long-term usage of
technology, discouraging throw away culture, preventing e-waste, and
developing hacker practices in media archaeology labs that collect old
computers and tech for their survival.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">PROGRAMME<br></div><div dir="ltr">mathr<br></div><div dir="ltr">xname<br></div><div dir="ltr">Rumble-San<br></div><div dir="ltr">digital selves<br></div><div dir="ltr">Heavy Lifting<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">mathr<br></div><div dir="ltr">Claude
Heiland-Allen aka mathr is an artist from London interested in the
complex emergent behaviour of simple systems, unusual geometries, and
mathematical aesthetics. From 2005 through 2011 he was a member of the
GOTO10 collective, whose mission was to promote Free/Libre Open Source
Software in Art. Since 2011, Claude has continued as an independent
artist, researcher and software developer. His recent main projects
include various deep zooming tools for 2D escape time fractals (et, kf,
zoomasm), musical performance live-coding in the C programming language
(clive), and a postfix bytebeat/rampcode music system with a
collaborative web-based interface based on Etherpad (barry).<br></div><div dir="ltr">mathr.co.uk<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">xname<br></div><div dir="ltr">xname
is an Italian new media artist based in London. She was born in Milan
and she has been living many years in Bologna and Amsterdam. Her
interests include metaphysics, electronics, software, performance and
interactivity. She works with self made instruments and open source
software for live performance and interactive installation, expanding
from visual and software art to electronic music. Her work, ultimately
cryptic, ritualistic and noise, engages in the construction of
perceptual phenomena and environments that explore the concepts of
illusion and the virtual, stimulating new forms of perception and
questioning the notion of materiality and presence, and the role that
memory, experience and eventually our ancestors have in the formation of
identity. “My work, mixing different practices, talks about social and
individual identities, and their interfacing with reality and
imagination. [this story is to be continued…]”.<br></div><div dir="ltr">xname.cc<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Rumble-San<br></div><div dir="ltr">RumbleSan
