hey Lurk, last minute call! If you are in #rotterdam, I will be hosting a workshop on comp(h)osting phones: hosting servers on retired smartphones at #v2 on Thursday 16.04.26, 15:00-17:30
(...)
Starting from our most intimate and familiar device—the smartphone—this workshop aims to explore the material infrastructure that supports our online lives. In practice, you learn how to repurpose discarded smartphones into servers that host a simple webpage. This practice helps you to imagine other ways of building an Internet, one that places autonomy, reuse, and planetary limits at the forefront
Comp-Host-ing our Phones was developed by Marie Verdeil, in collaboration with @npub1qpj…ffyf and with the support of @npub1zd8…tkv5

Where? In Bruxelles, probably at my co-working space near Zuid Station.
When? Sunday, June 1st 2025 (to be confirmed)
Are you interested, wanna comme? let us know here or via email > marie(at)verdeil(dot)net

📖 NEW BOOK 📖
→ Our new book - The Compressed Book edition - is available for sale in our online store! To reduce the resources involved with producing each copy, we squeezed our article archive (3 volumes) in just one book!
We did this by switching to a smaller font size (similar to the one used in the comments book), by downsizing most images, and by opting for a two-column layout. We rewrote some articles, especially older ones, resulting not only in fewer pages but also in better articles.
As all our books, it's printed on demand, which means they is no overproduction.
→ EVENT REMINDER
We are organising a book launch to celebrate in Barcelona (at Akasha Barcelona) this Friday (28.3). We will present the book and follow-up with a discussion on books and sustainability. We also have a number of copies for sale! All the info in the article below
