Generative artificial intelligence is trendy, but… do we really understand what’s behind it? This installation invites you to pause and look beyond the technological illusion: where are the machines that make these systems work?, what resources do they consume?, who makes the decisions and who bears the consequences?
We live in a world where big tech corporations dominate our digital lives and authoritarianism seems to be on the rise. That’s why it's more urgent than ever to ask: who controls the technology we use every day? How can we ensure that technology remains open, fair, and serves everyone? What policies are needed to make digital commons sustainable and protected? And how can we transform digital infrastructures to work for social good rather than corporate interests?

Technical meeting on the project status update for the Google Summer of Code: OpenWrt integration with Bird2 (UCI and LuCI) for BGP and Babel protocols.
OpenWrt is a free operating system for routers, UCI and LuCI are ways to configure OpenWrt. Bird2 is software that can manage routing protocols such as BGP (used on the internet) and Babel (a simple protocol for mesh networks). These are some of the technologies that can be used to manage a telecommunications network in a community-driven way.
From IoT Barcelona and The Things Network Catalunya, they are organizing a meetup to welcome the summer by sharing what everyone currently has on their desk. The idea is to hold a “what’s on your desk” event in person to take a closer look at what they are creating: prototypes, products, designs, inventions, or even ideas that are still only written down in a notebook. Everything is welcome, as long as there’s no need to sign any NDA.
