Session
Join us for a game of router roleplay! This surfaces as a collaboration between "Imagine a router...", a workshop series by media artist Alice Yuan Zhang, and Play! a runtime for expressing organizations and playing them into existence, brought forth by Rüzgar Imski.
Together we will expand on technical definitions of networking based on social and ecological contexts at large, and program (on cardboard!) new sets of interactions for collective organizing.
No technical experience is necessary, but bring what you know. Children are especially welcome!
