[aha] DEEP CABLES: Uncovering the Wiring of the World, 17-18 Giugno, Berlino

[Luisa Valeriani]

Cara Tat
congratulazioni per la conferenza, che sembra particolarmente interessante. Tanto interessante che sarebbe bello se ci raccontassi un po’ le cose principali emerse, a conferenza finita. Probabilmente pubblicherete anche tutto, ma un breve riassunto di aggiornamento sarebbe davvero gradito… Altrimenti questa diventa solo una vetrina delle cose che si fanno, e non un’occasione per far circolare informazioni scientifiche su cui poi ciascuno, come vuole e quanto può, approfondisce a sua volta. Che ne dici? Dai, sarebbe una bella cosa! In bocca al lupo

> The first event of the "Art & Evidence" series by Disruption Network Lab
> 2016 investigates the cultural, political, geographic and technological
> dimensions of the Internet, tracing fiber-optic land and undersea
> network cables. At the root of the Internet infrastructure lays a very
> material dimension, that influences how the Internet functions, how it
> is organised and controlled, and its geopolitical configuration.
> 
> Recently disclosed N.S.A. (National Security Agency) documents
> demonstrated that telecommunication companies, such as AT&T, have been
> particularly important to N.S.A. allowing the access to billions of
> emails across domestic networks. Large amounts of the world's Internet
> communications travel across American cables, and a broad range of
> classified activities work by installing surveillance equipment on
> Internet hubs. The materiality of the wired network is crucial to
> understand how surveillance works physically, and more in general, how
> the whole Internet infrastructure is conceived.
> 
> In this event, researchers, engineers, investigative journalists,
> hackers, writers, artists and activists, are brought together to unveil
> who runs the Internet and in which way its infrastructure influences our
> political, cultural and everyday life. Starting from this very concrete
> subject, the physicality of the network cables, the event culminates
> with the discussion about digital-divide and breaks of connectivity in
> strategic landing sites, where the discrepancy between poor access to
> bandwidth and high presence of cable infrastructure is caused by
> military, political, and economical reasons.
