Queer Telephone

Sprache: English

What could a self-hosted queer telephone line be? Can revisiting and rebuilding historical networking technology be a tool for building the future that we want?


We are Machine Streams, a queer collective based in Bristol (UK) interested in building, subverting and hacking technology.

After running a year of workshops with artists and researchers on how queers can approach/resist and subvert AI, we wanted to explore alternative, slow and DIY technologies that could help our community. As a first project, we are self-hosting a VoIP telephone server that enables visitors to call and leave messages, listen to poetry, find out local news, and have a space to share that is both intimate and anonymous.

We would like to share a local telephone number for attendees of the conference to call and leave messages, display the server and distribute zines about hosting a DIY server.
