We are dreaming of a sustainable and just internet. How might we shift the digital world technically, politically and aesthetically? Can the internet become fossil-tree by 2030? What does a carbon-aware internet look like?
This year’s theme conference explores how the internet should serve our collective liberation and ecological sustainability. Branch Magazine, the recipients of the first-ever Ars Electronica Award for Digital Humanity, offers four panels unpacking climate justice, solarpunk, sustainable digitalization, solidarity and care as well as low-carbon design and education. Chaired by Michelle Thorne, Chris Adams, Christine Lariviere, Andres Colmenares and Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino.
