Superkilogirls @sanjosemuseumofart 𝑀𝑜𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝒷𝑜𝒶𝓇𝒹𝓈 exhibition opening 10 April 2026 🏭🎢📡 Technology shapes our bodies as our bodies metabolize technology. Women played a central role in building the hardware that powered 200 years of technological development. Their contributions to the waged workforces were threatened by automation from the onset, yet their precision and dexterity were indispensible to what we know as hardware today. ‘The Manual for Superfluous Motions’ tracks small acts on the factory line that interrupted, refused, exceeded, or otherwise interfered with seamless production. 🫳🏼👈🏽🫴🏾🤌🏻 The interactive website is built around the wireframe, a basic structure used in web design. Wireframes were also an early form of computer memory, hand-woven by workers recruited from textile mills and watch factories. The wireframe used here draws on a type of core rope memory developed to send the Apollo 11 missions into space (final image). 🐦‍🔥🪡⚙️💾🛸 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 @dutchcultureusa , 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 250.

Plants are good. Electricity is fun. What happens when we bring the two together? 🌱⚡ Mud Volts is a hands-on permacomputing workshop exploring sustainable, resilient approaches to technology, taking place as part of SET Social’s March Community Day and Market this Sunday. Inspired by Sunjoo Lee’s Electric Garden, this session will build plant-powered “mud cells” using soil-based microbial fuel cells that generate small amounts of electricity. Together, participants will experiment, learn, and collectively decide what low-power device to fuel during the workshop. Hosted by @dj_anicka ’s Permacomputing Club, the session invites reflection on how technology can be designed with adaptability, care and ecological awareness in mind. All materials are provided. The session is free to attend. Details: Date: Sunday 1 March Time: 1-3pm Entry: Free Full details via link in bio. See you there!

Every Monday, Permacomputing gathers in SET Social to explore sustainable approaches to technology. Run by Ana Meisel, we chatted with her about tumblr, emojis, and how social spaces are places of knowledge sharing. @dj_anicka @set.social.peckham

THANK YOU for joining us! The first ever international Permacomputing meetup at Stroom, hosted in collaboration with the Willem de Kooning Academy Research Centre, brought together members of a growing community inspired by permaculture and focused on resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology. Over two days, groups from the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK shared tools, reflections, and approaches to rethink everyday technology and computational culture. The sessions sparked discussions on ecological and communal infrastructures, care in technical systems, and sustainable computing practices. A huge thank you to all participants: your energy, ideas, and contributions made this first international meetup a success! Brewing Permacomputing Collectives is part of the contextual programme to the exhibition ave bossa, bow ole by Jenna Sutela. The exhibition introduces the term ‘tech povera’, coined by Sutela, to describe the an approach to technology that is raw, experimental, and both live and alive. The event is made possible with support from Stroom Den Haag, expectation.fail, Stimuleringsfonds, Willem de Kooning Academy Research Centre, the UK Government, and Arts Council England.

TALKS – Stroom and Willem de Kooning Academy Research Centre invite you to Brewing Permacomputing Collectives. Discover how international permacomputing groups are shaping technology and networks in sustainable and collective ways, inspired by permaculture. During the talks, presentations, and discussion, members of permacomputing groups from the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom will share their insights, tools, reflections, and projects, covering topics such as ecological infrastructures and care within technical systems. Featuring speakers: anna andrejew (artist, The Hague; Mens en Tuin, Stadsoase Spinozahof, Volkskeuken, On Solid Ground research group, permacomputing.net) Brendan Howell (Berlin Permacomputing Meetup, LURK, permacomputing.net) Aymeric Mansoux (WdKA Research Centre, LURK, permacomputing.net) Ana Meisel (London Permacomputing Club, Superkilogirls) Danny Tirthdas van der Kleij (Varia, permacomputing.net) Lua Vollaard (Stroom Den Haag) The talks are part of the contextual programme accompanying Jenna Sutela’s exhibition ave bossa, bow ole and are made possible with support from Stroom Den Haag, expectation.fail, the @stimuleringsfonds , Willem de Kooning Academy Research Centre, the UK government, and Arts Council England.

💻💫Site launch 🚀✨ ▶️superkilogirls.com For a short time in the twentieth century, computer power was informally measured in ‘kilogirls’: a thousand women doing one hours of work. Under the name 𝒮𝓊𝓅𝑒𝓇𝓀𝒾𝓁𝑜𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁𝓈, we’ve been researching the material infrastructures of computing, its entanglement with women’s labour, and how the historical marginalisation of these efforts reverberates now. 🎞The website features a 𝒦𝒾𝓁𝑜𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁 𝒞𝑜𝓊𝓃𝓉, which logs visitors’ presence and engagement in the measure of a Kilogirl. Once a Kilogirl is reached, it will reload. 🔬The website launches our research in several chapters, investigating subjects like the contemporary relevance of the Luddites; Bell Labs’ feminised employment guide; the technological determinism of ASML; the women workforces at Phillips Semiconductors; and the microchip diagrams at MoMA. 👉🏼links in bios 💾More soon, keep an eye on our pages 🔮 With thanks to @stimuleringsfonds

Permacomputing Club now meets every Monday at 6:30 pm at SET Social, on a drop-in basis, starting April 7th! Come join if you want to work on and discuss small tech and sustainability <3 More info via link in bio.
