Here's the second one (out of two). I felt it deserved its own thread as
the topic is different. Hope to "see" you there, Christian

PANEL DESCRIPTION
Digital labor regimes have infiltrated various processes from global
logistics and supply chains to mass production and mechanic work. Scale,
speed, and acceleration are key to these processes of increasing
algorithmic control (simultaneously critiqued and celebrated). What are the
cracks, frictions, and gaps in this seemingly all-subsuming finance
capitalism? How might we have to re-articulate what counts as solidarity
and collective organizing to counter distributed, isolating, and
large-scale structures of control? How can we intervene in the persistent
techno-optimism that live on in contemporary engineering and design?
