We read and discuss texts on surveillance technology, platform capitalism, algorithmic control, and digital desire.

From CCTV to Instagram, from data extraction to self-branding, from the feed to the body.

We read and discuss texts on technology, ideas of progress, platform capitalism, algorithmic control, and digital desire. From CCTV to Instagram, from data extraction to self-branding, from the feed to the body.

This is not an academic seminar. We don’t explain everything.

We don’t optimize anything.

We mix contemporary theory, pop culture, screenshots, memes and lived experience.

We talk about brainrot, exposure, performance, visibility, shame, pleasure, control.

About how platforms shape the way we think, feel, desire, and narrate ourselves.

Each meeting combines reading, open discussion, movies, podcast, songs and collective practices such as short writings.

This space is for people who are tired of performing but still inside the system.

For artists, writers, thinkers, and over-online bodies.

For those who scroll too much and think too much.

We read. We unlearn. We make things.
