Platform Brutality
Closing Down Internet Toxicity€ 26,50 -
Die Brutalität der Plattform
Soziale Medien lenken nicht nur ab, sondern verletzen auch - so die zentrale These von Geert Lovink. Er bezeichnet die vorherrschende Gefühlslandschaft im digitalen Raum als Copium, ein metaphorisches Opiat, das die Nutzer*innen betäubt, die in Endlosschleifen von Scrolling, Untergang und Ablenkung gefangen sind. Die gegenwärtige Verfassung des Internets ist ein Zustand der Permakrise, in der Stagnation, Wut, Erstarrung, algorithmische Manipulation, KI-Slop und Technofeudalismus den Alltag bestimmen. Umso dringender braucht es diesen Appell zum kollektiven Rückzug aus den Sozialen Medien, der gleichzeitig dazu aufruft, die digitale Mündigkeit zu bewahren.

Nichilismo digitale. L'altra faccia delle piattaforme
Nell¿epoca dei social media, tristezza, disagio e distrazione sembrano ubiqui. Non appena smettiamo di cliccare, navigare, scorrere e likare, ci resta solo un senso di noia, di torpore, di vuoto. È una questione di progettazione, di design: i nostri stati d¿animo patologici sono codificati fin dal principio nell¿architettura delle piattaforme. Prima di disegnare alternative, è quindi indispensabile un¿analisi tanto lucida quanto brutale degli scenari digitali contemporanei, che consenta di comprendere a fondo i meccanismi di funzionamento e la psicologia delle piattaforme dei social media: dalle sensazioni di noia e malinconia agli atteggiamenti contraddittori verso i selfi e, alla politica regressiva dei meme e alle (più o meno) nuove forme di violenza tecnologica. Rifuggendo da strali moralistici, intenti pedagogici o sterili pulsioni regolatorie, ¿Nichilismo digitale¿ abbina una critica radicale di internet al tentativo di fare i conti con gli sbalzi d¿umore ¿ assai reali ¿ degli utilizzatori delle piattaforme.

Le paludi della piattaforma. Riprendiamoci internet
Quando ci svegliamo controlliamo la mail e i social network già prima di fare colazione. Poi iniziamo a lavorare su G Suite mentre chiacchieriamo con gli amici su WhatsApp tra una riunione e l'altra su Zoom. Le nostre case sono diventate i nostri uffici, e somigliano sempre più a call center. Sembra di essere in trappola. Condannati a uno scroll infinito di fake news, teorie cospirazioniste, meme cringe e risse virtuali, sentiamo crescere la noia e la frustrazione. Internet è diventato asfissiante: siamo impantanati nelle piattaforme. Se l'obiettivo era usare la pandemia per fare un bel reset e ripartire, abbiamo fallito. Allora «come riemergere dalla palude e depiattaformare le piattaforme?» Partendo da questa domanda, Lovink si addentra nei meccanismi con cui le big tech intrappolano l'individuo, possiedono e modellano i mercati, acuiscono le disuguaglianze sociali ed economiche. E traccia una rotta per uscire dalla stagnazione: uno slancio di immaginazione collettiva che ci aiuti a sfuggire al potere delle piattaforme e a riprenderci internet.

Stuck on the Platform
Reclaiming the InternetGeert Lovink is een Nederlandse mediatheoreticus, internetcriticus en auteur van Uncanny Networks (2002), Dark Fiber (2002), My First Recession (2003), Zero Comments (2007), Networks Without a Cause (2012), Social Media Abyss (2016), Organization after Social Media (met Ned Rossiter, 2018) en Sad by Design (2019). In 2004 richtte hij het Institute of Network Cultures op aan de Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA). Dit centrum organiseert conferenties, publicaties en onderzoeksnetwerken zoals Video Vortex (online video), The Future of Art Criticism en MoneyLab (op internet gebaseerde verdienmodellen in de kunsten). Recente projecten gaan over experimenten met digitaal uitgeven, kritisch meme-onderzoek, participatieve hybride evenementen en precariteit in de creatieve sector. Sinds december 2021 is Lovink benoemd tot hoogleraar Kunst en Netwerkculturen bij de afdeling Kunstgeschiedenis, Faculteit der Geesteswetenschappen van de Universiteit van Amsterdam. We zitten allemaal klem. Hoe hard je ook probeert apps van je telefoon te verwijderen, je wordt toch weer terug verleid. Doom scrollen is het nieuwe normaal van een leven dat 24/7 online plaatsvindt. Wat gebeurt er als je thuiskantoor begint te voelen als een callcenter en je te moe bent om uit te loggen bij Facebook? We zijn verslaafd aan grootschalige platforms, niet in staat terug te keren naar het luchthartige tijdperk van gedecentraliseerde netwerken. Hoe kunnen we de toenemende onvrede over de toestand van het platform begrijpen? Zoomvermoeidheid, cancelcultuur, cryptokunst, NFT's en psychische terugval vormen kernelementen voor een algemene theorie van platformcultuur. Geert Lovink pleit ervoor dat we het internet op onze eigen voorwaarden terugeisen. Stuck on the Platform is een weerbarstig betoog over de opkomst van platformalternatieven, gebaseerd op een diep begrip van de digitale malaise.

Video Vortex Reader III
What is online video today, fifteen years into its exponential growth? What started with amateur work of YouTube prosumers has spread to virtually all communication apps: an explosion in the culture of mobile sound and vision. Now, in the age of the smart phone, video accompanies, informs, moves, and distracts us. Are you addicted yet? Look into that tiny camera, talk, move the phone, show us around - prove to others that you exist!Founded in 2007, Video Vortex is a lively network of artists, activists, coders, curators, critics, and researchers linked by the exchange of ideas, materials, and discussions both online and offline. Video Vortex has produced two anthologies, a website, a mailing list, 12 international conferences, several art exhibitions, and more to come as the internet and video continue to merge and miniaturize.The first Video Vortex reader came out in 2008, followed by a second in 2011. This third anthology covers the turbulent period from Video Vortex #7 (2013) in Yogyakarta, across the meetings that followed in Zagreb, Lüneburg, Istanbul, Kochi, and finally Malta in 2019, where the foundations for this publication where laid before its production began in the midst of the corona crisis.The contributions herein respond to a broad range of emerging and urgent topics, from bias in YouTube's algorithms, to the use of video in messaging, image theory, the rise of deepfakes, a reconsideration of the history of video art, a reflection on the continuing role and influence of music video, indy servers, synthetic intimacies, love and sadness, artist videos, online video theory in the age of platform capitalism, video as online activism, and the rise of streaming.

Digitaler Nihilismus
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tinder und Co. - all das Klicken, Scrollen, Wischen und Liken lässt uns am Ende sinnentleert zurück. Traurigkeit ist zum Designproblem geworden, die Höhen und Tiefen der Melancholie sind längst in den Social-Media-Plattformen kodiert. Geert Lovink bietet eine kritische Analyse der aktuellen Kontroversen, die sich um Social Media, Fake News, toxische virale Meme und Online-Sucht drehen. Er zeigt: Die Suche nach einem großen Entwurf darf als gescheitert gelten - und hat zu einer entpolitisierten Internetforschung geführt, die weder radikale Kritik übt noch echte Alternativen aufzeigt. Wir sind aufgerufen, die künstliche Intimität von Social Media, Messenger-Apps und Selfies zu akzeptieren, denn Langeweile ist die erste Stufe der Überwindung des 'Plattform-Nihilismus'. Und dann, wenn der Nebel sich lichtet, können wir daran arbeiten, die Datenfresser-Industrien in ihrem Kern zu treffen.

No Internet, No Art
Today almost everybody has some kind of connection to the internet. No Internet, No Art explores what this situation entails with respect to one cultural field in particular: art. By opening up the often narrowly defined discursive field of "post-internet," artistic practices are examined thematically within the larger context of digital culture. As such, this anthology offers valuable new contributions to the fields of art history, media studies, philosophy, curatorial studies and design; it also forms both the culmination and a continuation of a series of public events titled Lunch Bytes - Thinking about Art and Digital Culture, held in Washington, DC, which invited artists and experts from different fields to discuss their work in relation to this overarching theme.

Sad by Design
Sadness is now a design problem. The highs and lows of melancholy are coded into social media platforms. After all the clicking, browsing, swiping and liking, all we are left with is the flat and empty aftermath of time lost to the app.Sad by Design offers a critical analysis of the growing social media controversies such as fake news, toxic viral memes and online addiction. The failed search for a grand design has resulted in depoliticised internet studies unable to generate either radical critique or a search for alternatives.Geert Lovink calls for us to embrace the engineered intimacy of social media, messenger apps and selfies, because boredom is the first stage of overcoming 'platform nihilism'. Then, after the haze, we can organise to disrupt the data extraction industries at their core.

Zero Comments
In diesem dritten Band seiner kritischen Studien zur Internetkultur hinterfragt Geert Lovink den jüngsten 'Web 2.0'-Hype um Blogs, Wikis oder Netzgemeinschaften. Anstatt den 'Bürger-Journalismus' zu idealisieren, untersucht der Autor den 'nihilistischen Impuls' der Blogs, etablierte Bedeutungsstrukturen auszuhöhlen und - voller Stolz auf ihren Insider-Charakter - das Verlinken, Indexieren und Ranking zum Hauptantrieb zu erheben. Darüber hinaus behandelt das Buch die stille Globalisierung des Internets, in der nicht mehr der Westen, sondern Länder wie Indien, China und Brasilien sich zu einflussreichen Akteuren entwickeln. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Revision des Theoriebestands: Geert Lovink aktualisiert überholte Konzepte wie die der Globalen Internet-Zeit, der Taktischen Medien oder der Krise der Medienkunst und widmet sich dem schwierigen Verhältnis zwischen Architektur und Netz. Das Buch schließt mit spekulativen Bemerkungen zu Modellen wie Organisierte Netzwerke, Freie Kooperation und Verteilte Ästhetik.

Social Media Abyss
Social Media Abyss plunges into the paradoxical condition of the new digital normal versus a lived state of emergency. There is a heightened, post-Snowden awareness; we know we are under surveillance but we click, share, rank and remix with a perverse indifference to technologies of capture and cultures of fear. Despite the incursion into privacy by companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon, social media use continues to be a daily habit with shrinking gadgets now an integral part of our busy lives. We are thrown between addiction anxiety and subliminal, obsessive use. Where does art, culture and criticism venture when the digital vanishes into the background?Geert Lovink strides into the frenzied social media debate with Social Media Abyss - the fifth volume of his ongoing investigation into critical internet culture. He examines the symbiotic yet problematic relation between networks and social movements, and further develops the notion of organized networks. Lovink doesn't just submit to the empty soul of 24/7 communication but rather provides the reader with radical alternatives.Selfie culture is one of many Lovink's topics, along with the internet obsession of American writer Jonathan Franzen, the internet in Uganda, the aesthetics of Anonymous and an anatomy of the Bitcoin religion. Will monetization through cybercurrencies and crowdfunding contribute to a redistribution of wealth or further widen the gap between rich and poor? In this age of the free, how a revenue model of the 99% be collectively designed? Welcome back to the Social Question.
