Critical Climate Computing UAL

The Compost Computer, our collaboration with @futureverything @mud_cic @sowthecity can now be seen at compostweb.net. It's a low carbon website designed for the compost powered web server designed by @shinjitoya and @msmrgni , with additional website design from @alistairmcclymont The project demonstrates how regenerative practices and green transition design can expand what's possible for everyday low carbon computation. Fund by @ahrcpress and the @designmuseum Future Observatory project.

Today @msmrgni and @wesleygoatley are heading to @fiberfestival to talk about the Compost Computer project, abd to join a panel talking about critical regenerative and green transition practices. Come along if you're in Amsterdam!

Some slides from our @critical_climate_computing workshop tomorrow at @mud_cic in Platt Fields, Manchester, where we'll be talking about how we've built a compost powered webserver and designed a low carbon website to run on it for @futureverything . Will also be talking about the good work of @tegabrain , @samlavigne and the field of permacomputing. Happy to be sharing this work with @msmrgni @shinjitoya and @posthuman_eva who'll be presenting with me. Link to tickets in my bio.

The Critical Climate Computing website was designed to enact the goals of the CCC itself - to explore new creative and critical engagements with computational technologies and where they intersect with the climate crisis. The site is locally hosted, running from a single low power server that bypasses typical data center storage practices. The visual design is by @msmrgni , a CCC member and on the key practitioners on the recently announced Compost Computer project with @futureverything . Mariana's work here strives to choose aesthetic approaches that lower computational load at client anf server levels, while still retaining accessibility and usability. More to come!
