[Example] Keynote: feral computation—liminalithic protocol

[dcwalk]

Description

feral computing is an emerging micro-genre of operating computation; connecting seemingly disparate compute infrastructure to earth-bound systems. the results of these projects has lingered, almost spectral in quality, over the past decade in the form of deconstructed units of computation, megalithic peripherals, and w-i-n-d-nets against large bodies of water. this micro-genre of computing is being indexed by an ad-hoc group of artists and documentarians. since their formation in 2037, they have catalogue more than a hundred operations tracing the micro-genre from compute to protocol.

liminalithic protocol is a concept developed by those in the micro-genre between 2038 to 2040. It describes a situated practice where information is shared through the movement of air; wind and other atmospheric phenomena. the protocol was a sketch for an alternative means to think about communication that would in itself create a suspended hyperstructure. this keynote will be presented as a montage of those efforts, reflecting on the feral computing micro-genre and the spectral nature of where computing has yet to go.

Presenter Bio

formed in 2046, feral committee is a collective of archivists operating in various geographic locations concerned with the preservation of feral computing. they operate under many pseudonyms since their formation. their work practice is often described as near-publishing, and liminal media.
