Venue: St George House, Cambridge, Guildhall St CB2 3NH
This final conference in the Network Politics project covered questions such as:
- What are the platforms on which network politics takes place and what can we think of as political 'action' in this context?
- What are the particular forms of platform politics and how can we theorize such forms and practices?
- Can we extend critical theory into such new modalities as media critique through software?
- How are practices such as circuit bending and hardware hacking political?
- What are the future forms and new conceptualisations of hacking that merit attention?
- Can we really conceive the 'openness' of FLOSS (Free, Libre, Open Source Software) as a genuinely radical practice or rather another circuit in the production of communicative capital?
- Is it too late to 'de-monetise' social media?
