Are you fatigued by your phone? Are you wary of technology’s impact on our ecosystems?
On July 25th, Slow Circuits is hosting a weaving circle where we will discuss our conflicted relationship with technology as we weave with discarded ethernet cables. Think technology anonymous meets weaving circle. Each participant will create and take home their own woven art piece.
By weaving with the discarded remnants of our digital lives, this tactile engagement follows a discussion around our current circuits: where our technology comes from, its lifecycles, and its afterlives. By slowing down and contemplating these relationships, we will make visible the material and ecological costs inherent in our technologies in order to discuss the circuits we desire. We’ll ask: how can we build alternative models to planned obsolescence? How can technology reconnect us to what we care about? How can we turn waste into a medium of connection and care?
