Critique Under Pressure: Platform Power

Speakers: Ned Rossiter, Tiziana Terranova, Yuk Hui, Anna-Verena Nosthoff.

Introduction: Marc Tuters and Geert Lovink. Chair: Jernej Markelj.

Artificial intelligence, platform consolidation, geopolitical struggles over digital infrastructure, and increasingly polarized online cultures have transformed the terrain of public life. Critique of digital systems is no longer confined to specialists. But what comes after diagnosis? A conversation organized by the Institute of Network Cultures.

For over two decades, the Institute of Network Cultures has critically engaged with digital culture through research, artistic experimentation, and para-academic forms of public engagement. How have the conditions for critique changed? If earlier moments of network culture were shaped by promises of openness, participation, and distributed organization, the present conjuncture raises more difficult questions. What forms of critique remain possible when digital infrastructures increasingly mediate politics, labor, culture, and knowledge? Has the object of critique itself shifted — from websites and social platforms to AI systems, synthetic media, logistics, and new forms of algorithmic governance?

At the same time, the institutional conditions for critique have also changed. As universities and cultural institutions face increasing pressures of precarity, quantification, and commercialization, para-academic spaces such as the Institute of Network Cultures have taken on renewed significance. But how can critical and experimental spaces sustain themselves while maintaining autonomy?

As the opening event of the Institute of Network Culture’s Exit Fest — marking a moment of institutional transition as INC reimagines its future beyond the university — this event brings together leading thinkers in media theory and critical network cultures. The conversation reflects on platform power, the changing conditions of critique, and the institutional and collective forms through which critique might still be sustained — both within and beyond the university.

@ OT301 & Online

9:30 am 🔓 Doors open

10.00 - 12.00 (Studio & Online) 🎤 Mapping the Current Net Culture Condition

With: Vladan Joler, Rosa Menkman, Lesia Kulchynska, Cade Diehm, Miriam Rasch, Silvio Lorusso.

Chair: Geert Lovink

In this panoramic session we bring together six grand theorists, critics and artists we all love and admire. Over the years they have been linked to the Institute of Network Cultures and will present their current research. The Exit Fest celebrates their urgent investigations, which are both critical and speculative, political and aesthetic, dealing with both the deep and superficial, pop and obscure aspects of today’s digital condition. What brings them together is that they all inquire digital forms of power.

Vladan Joler: Probabilistic Anarchism: Tactical Unpredictability, Invisibility, and Resistance

Highly speculative and post-practical social tactics and strategies for the age of AI-techno-totalitarianism.

This ongoing, still-raw project investigates how invisibility might be redefined within systems that no longer rely on simple surveillance, but on continuous learning, prediction, and adaptation. It develops a series of practical and post-practical tactics, drawn from art, mathematics, logic, signal processing, and philosophy, that aim to destabilize these systems from within.

Lesia Kulchynska “Dream manifesting war machine”

Is there anything in common between esoteric practices of dream manifesting, the platform economy, and military violence? In my talk, I will speculate on the death drive as a governing principle of the image-based platform economy. Departing from the triangular relations of desire, lack, and image, I will reflect on how the proliferation of desire-charged images breeds apocalyptic fantasies, devastates reality, and encourages self-destruction, and how the war industry thrives in this environment.

Image Type Charades!

Images are non static objects, that may be redefined many times, across versions, systems, formats, platforms, and use, before they reach an audience. As a result, contemporary image theory has been expanding its vocabulary for these image types coined by artists as well as theorists: technical images, operational images, poor images, platformed images, synthetic images, invisible images, algorithmic images, to name just a few. Some image types name genres, others describe modes of circulation, while others define images according to the technical, cultural, or institutional conditions in which they appear. Consequently, these terms may be used to describe the same image, but will understand it as entirely different objects because they use different theoretical or descriptive work. The proliferation of image types, each coined to refer to a specific meaning, possibility and compromise, signals an deficit in contemporary image theory.

What is it like to be a “user”? by Miriam Rasch

Enter ghosts. It’s no secret that our every move and (e)motion, and many of our thoughts too, are snared in, chopped up, sold on, and discarded. Tracking technologies are both too big and too boring to think about, ubiquitous and cold as they are. Among the systems (and their critiques), it’s difficult to feel like a person anymore. But who is on the receiving end? What is it like to be a “user”? - one of the worst words in internet parlance, as bad as the “humans are algorithms”-meme. Once you know, you can start to figure out what it means to be something else. For this, I turn to a first-person view and draw on the philosophical concept of experience. This adds an ethical and even a sensual dimension to questions that are usually approached primarily from systemic, political, or economic perspectives. Who gets to experience - that strange interplay of doing something and being done - and what?

Poor Media: An Exit Strategy

In this presentation, Silvio Lorusso will interrogate his personal history of publishing experimentation, intertwined with that of the Institute of Network Cultures, against the backdrop of a media environment where doomscrolling, slop and propaganda reign supreme, and where the weird has been all but normalized. What can some cheap, artistic print-on-demand books tell us about the automatic churning of politically polarized bait content?

13.00 - 14.30 (Studio & Online) 🎤 Streaming Vortex: Video, Publishing and Tactical Media

With: Andreas Treske, Michael Dieter, Antonia Hernández, and Konfluxus Collective.

Chair: Tommaso Campagna and Jordi Viader Guerrero.

Online video has moved from being a discrete media form to becoming an inescapble condition of daily life. Long and short form video are now the mediatic building block of the internet, shaping how we learn, publish, gather, remember, work, and organize, but also how we coceive and build inrfatructures and practices for digital communication. If the web is built on text (code), this text is nevertheless written to store, process, and distribute moving images that, in turn, bring about diverse practices of production and spectatroship. This panel asks how can we study and use online video critically as a publishing and tactical tool once the social internet is understood as large-scale audiovisual infrastructure.

Dwelling in the Videosphere

We are not watching the videosphere.We are dwelling inside it, blindly, by default.The only question is whether we build the conditions for conscious dwelling, or keep breathing until there is nothing left to breathe.

The Uses of the Alive: Live Streaming as a Playground

Since 1996, when Jennifer Ringley began broadcasting over the early Internet, play (or art, or erotic play) has been a mode of engagement, exploration, and development for live streaming. Approaching play as an experiential event, this presentation highlights its central role in reclaiming live-streaming technologies and practices.

**Poor Chroma **

StreamArt updates histories of video art, tactical television, feedback and liveness, and confronts the processing of culture into measurable signals by late platformism. In this presentation, I follow the stream through the interface gates of the corporate stack into phases of capture, mixing, chroma-keying, compression and laddering. How are bodies, rooms, images and enunciations technically treated by these optimized systems? What imaginaries can be found in the frayed edges of the live composited glitch and the sacrificial colour green?

13:00 - 14:30 (Cinema) 🎤 Politics of Digital Sovereignty

With: Gianmarco Christofari, Annalisa Pelizza, Sebastian Giessmann and Klara Debeljak.

Chair: Geert Lovink.

What’s our take on digital sovereignty? The top-down Brussels policy term has nothing to do with bottom-up organization, distributed agency or autonomy. This is a big argumentative game of geopolitics and geoeconomy. INC blogger Gianmarco Cristofari will open this session and introduce the Latin-American debates on digital sovereignty with a brief genealogy of free software and presenting its various sides, with his main point being PIX, the Brazilian payment infrastructure. INC-Moneylab organizer Sebastian Giessmann will talk about the Digital Euro and its current political uphill battle. He will juxtappose it with its rival consumerist sibling Wero. STS scholar Annalisa Pelizza presents her work on European digital identity as a form of (alleged) European sovereignty. She sees identification as practice of creating an equivalence between the here-and-now and a longer-term relationship between authorities and citizens. Instead, curator and artist Klara Debeljak is focused on alternatives, For her, infrastructural speculation hope-core can provide options of what to do if audience members prefer not to engage in these top-down regimes.

The State as Platform? PIX’s Paradox and the Imaginaries of a Public Platform Utility

*Gianmarco Christofari, *

What if the most radical digital infrastructure in the world today was built not by a startup, not by a tech giant, but by a central bank? This paper takes Pix — Brazil’s instant payment system, used by over 150 million people in fewer than five years — seriously as a political provocation: evidence that the state can occupy the foundational layer of the digital economy, expel Big Tech intermediaries, and produce inclusion at a scale that decades of market-led innovation never approached.

Drawing on 25 interviews conducted in Latin America, the paper asks what Pix enables us to think that the dominant imaginaries of the digital economy actively foreclose. Against the Silicon Valley imaginary in which platforms are by definition private, and against the European regulatory imaginary in which the best the public sector can do is constrain corporate power after the fact, Pix proposes a third imaginary: the state not as regulator, not as investor, but as operator.

The paper situates this within the broader struggle over digital sovereignty in Latin America, where the dependency question has never gone away, and where a distinct political tradition — the pueblo in the gramscian sense of the social block of the oppressed — makes possible institutional forms that Anglo-American political imagination struggles even to name. Pix forces us to confront the possibility that the the demand to build public digital infrastructure from above, ahead of consensus, and without democratic design, may be the condition of possibility for emancipation from below.

The Digital Euro Showdown: Can MoneyLab Do Politics?

Sebastian Giessmann

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) might as well have been our new media of monetary cooperation. And they still can be, at the least in the case of the Digital Euro. Since 2023, I have repeatedly advocated for real digital cash, financial inclusion and new public payment infrastructure for all of Europe. While we, finally, expect a political decision by the European Parliament in July, the D€ is facing competition from WERO, a pan-European PayPal competitor. Geopolitical claims for monetary sovereignty mix with twisted hopes for digital sovereignty and independence. So what can MoneyLab do next? The Austrians of Ja, Panik might have known it early on: “Dance the ECB, swing die Staatsfinanzen … sing ihnen ihre Melodien, zwing sie zum Tanzen.”

15:00-16:30 (Studio & Online) 📺 Video Archive Jam Session: On Tactical Media and Barricades (Screening + Presentations)

Curated by* Giovanni Rossetti. *

Inspired by Filmhuis Cavia VHS Archive Jam Sessions, event participants will introduce and screen archival fragments from VHS and other slighlty more recent media formats, tracing the evolution of tactical media over the past decades through the conceptual framework of the barricade.

16:30 -17:00 (Cinema) 🎭 Weaving Through Screens (Performance)

Curated by Laura Mrksa and Slutty Urbanism Collective (Letizia Chiappini and Valeria Ferrari)

It is an immersive installation and live performance exploring the entanglement of rest, digital consumption, and algorithmic influence on contemporary attention. Weaving Through Screens explores such relationships, interrogating scrolling and weaving as ways to build interconnectedness, networks of care and collective responsibility. Doomscrolling is a form of productive unrest: it engages our attention and distracts us, collectively contributing to an idiotic machine learning process that feeds a chain of algorithms stored elsewhere, owned by someone else. Conversely, weaving can be seen as unproductive rest; as a manufacturing practice, it creates a tangible web that stems directly from our hands. Weaving is simultaneously producing and waiting; it is inefficient production, as it is slow, ancient and silent. While we are supposed to rest in our beds, our brains, fingers, and eyes are magnetised by devices designed for the incessant consumption and production of data. We consume content and time, rotting in bed, our brains in an endless succession of snapshots of pleasure, entangled in addictive screen behaviour.

We invite the audience to collective doomscroll and enjoy the installation. The performance is meant to delve into concepts, scroll, reflect, and rest in a space of intimacy in which the imaginarium of a bed is mobilised against the productive unrest and constant production of data. The bed is the stage on which scrolling and weaving take place. The algorithm is whispering while the screens are revealing our deepest and secret desires and addictions…

17:00 - 19:00 (Studio) 🙋🏻 INC General Assembly on the Future of INC (Open Discussion)
After 22 years at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, the INC will continue as an independent, member-run association. At the Exit Fest, we will have our very first general assembly, which is open to all aspiring members (including researchers, writers, collaborators, and supporters). Join us if you’re interested in being a part of INC’s future, and discuss with us what we should do together moving forward.

@OT301/Online

9:30 am 🔓 Doors open

10.00 - 11.45 (Studio & Online) 🎤 Gendered Desire & Resentment on the Platform: Can we Queer Alienation into Belonging?

With: Kate A.. Babin, Francesco Barchiesi, Dunja Nešović and İdil Galip.

Chair: Chloë Arkenbout.

What do the manosphere & incels, femcels, and queer reality TV fans have in common? In this panel, we will discuss multiple identity processes and narratives around them, that are shaped inside of the platform; from those who are encouraged to hate women ‘in the name of loving women’, women who resent men and use that to their advantage, and queer women loving queer women who are affected by heteronormative stereotypes. But mostly: how do we remain caring as these processes unfold? How do we queer them to foster a sense of belonging rather than alienation?

Heteropessimism, incel culture, and the fourfold of heteronormative failures by Kate A. Babin and Francesco Barchiesi

Framing incel culture within it, we present a brief genealogy of heteropessimism — examining how incels, femcels, heteropessimistic prophets and redpill gurus exist under the same discursive conditions of patriarchal heteronormativity. Through this exploration, we consider how queer thought and theory can break open these paradigms.

The pink elephant in the room: Lesbian ambiguity, reality television and transmedia narrative production by *Dunja Nešović *

This presentation examines how ambiguous lesbian representation in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills serves as a motor for transmedia narrative production and consumption. By tracing this narrative across different media sites and tellers, I will address the aesthetic, discursive, and economic frameworks underpinning its narrativization.

Femcel Ressentiment and Girltheory Optimism by İdil Galip

This short talk reads two opposed affective publics that have taken shape in contemporary women’s digital cultures: femcel imaginaries, an inward-looking world of nihilistic ressentiment, and girltheory, a radically optimistic palliative to anti-politics. Holding both against recent accounts of the digital “mirror-worlds” (Klein; Tolentino; Banet-Weiser and Kay), I ask whether we can treat these publics as containers of experiential knowledge of patriarchy, as moral categories of better and worse ways of being, or as the chaotic reflections of (post)post-feminism.

10:00 - 12.15 (Cinema Bar) 🙋🏻 Creative Resistance Against AI Assembly (Workshop - Registration Needed (Link tba))

Facilitated by *Eke Rebergen and Jordi Viader Guerrero. *

Register here: (link)

With a focus on the Dutch landscape of activism, refusal, and counter-experimentation, we invite everyone to co-conspire and strategize. How to strengthen the somewhat scattered but defiant field of creative resistance?

As new developments amount to violent military technologies, further ecological destruction, techno-fascist cyberbosses, and much AI slop and hype bullshit, let’s together sketch out the richest and boldest possible vision of creative resistance, map different strands and radical positions, and recombine and reinforce practical tactics. We will bring sketchy maps, loads of zines, existing efforts and schemes. Please bring yours too!

And let’s look ahead. What does this field need? For legitimization? For organizing? So it’s sustainable? For better care? For new forms of radicalisation? And who to engage? What should be next targets to fight?

13:00 - 14:00 (Studio & Online) 🎤 Goodbye Poverty Jetset: MoneyLab Lessons for Creative Work

With: Inte Gloerich, Alessandro Y. Longo, MACAO (Virginia Roghi, Emanuele Braga, Federico Aldovisi), and Patricia de Vries.

Chair: Sepp Eckenhaussen.

We hone in on one of the INC’s top priorities: the struggle against the precarity of artistic work and the design of new economies. With MoneyLab, MyCreativity, and Creative Reset, we have closely followed the developments in cultural politics, crypto, and the gig economy, always looking for the next big thing. At the Exit Fest, we continue this productive critical attitude. We explore the three areas where we see the most organizational energy today: basic income, cultural cooperativism, and artist-run media.

By the way… this session celebrates the publication of three books: Sepp Eckenhaussen’s Goodbye Poverty Jetset: How Art Workers Make Solidarity Economies, Inte Gloerich’s Imaginaries of Immutable Truth, and MACAO’s Archiving the Ungovernable. You’ll hear more about this momentous MoneyLab material from the authors, and you can pick up your copies at the Mini Book Fair.

13:00 - 13:30 (Cinema) 🎭 Recovering Digital Agency: Internet Core and the Resurgence of the Handmade Web on Neocities (Performance)

With: Laura Subirats and Diana Milán.

As centralized digital platforms homogenize the online experience, old-web aesthetics such as Internet Core and Webcore are re-emerging. Far from mere netstalgia, this research proposes understanding this return as a form of cultural critique and an act of resistance.

Internet Core arises as an affective and visual response to the hegemony of platform capitalism, defending aesthetics as a form of critique. In this context, platforms like Neocities become living labs of this digital counterculture, allowing users to reclaim creative and technical control over their online spaces.

This presentation will explore these ideas through practice-based research with Neocities, demonstrating how the act of building a “personal webpage” in HTML and CSS has become a political statement and an artistic practice, questioning the role of the user in the age of artificial intelligence and automated content production.

14:00- 14:45 (Studio & Online) 🙋🏻The Ultimate MyCreativity & MoneyLab Trivia Quiz

Quizmasters: Inte Gloerich & Patricia de Vries

15.15 - 17.00 (Studio & Online) 🎤 Internet Aesthetics: Where Are The Thinkers?

With: Morgane Billuart, Sophie Publig, Sofi Xian, and Klaudia Orczykowska

Chair: Ruben Stoffelen & Mela Miekus.

So much content flows through our devices–it’s like everything, everywhere, all at once. How can we meaningfully discuss aesthetics when we’re caught in an overwhelming swarm of images at all times? Can we identify some dominant trends and movements within what we are seeing? What cultural conditions do these aesthetics emerge from and push for? From slop to girl online to niche subcultures and SoundCloud rap, we will discuss the current images, personas, and affects that dominate the internet.

Morgane Billuart, “Influence as Method: Becoming the Monster”

Intellectual production increasingly appears unable to exist outside systems of visibility, circulating instead within economies structured by attention and influence. Critical and analytical ideas now move through platforms that reward not only rigor but also speed and visual coherence. This shift calls for a closer examination of the formats and incentives that shape contemporary intellectual production: from short-form content such as Instagram reels, which accelerate visibility and recognition, to long-form essays that sustain depth and critical engagement. Within this evolving landscape, intellectual practice becomes inseparable from mediation and exposure. How are ideas transformed by the formats through which they circulate? What happens when, in attempting to make thought legible to platform audiences, the thinker gradually becomes indistinguishable from the very structures they sought to resist: the monstrous figure produced by the platform itself?

Sofi Xian, “Cute Alien Liquid Intelligence vs. Frutiger Aero”

Frutiger Aero continues to make its waves online. But why? We examine its relationship with an increasingly legible consumer aesthetic of the AI age: the Cute Alien Liquid Intelligence and challenge the narrative of ‘Frutiger Aero’ as ‘Gen Z nostalgia’ and as an affective collective reminder of unfulfilled promises

Sophie Publig, “Slop Aesthetics”

Contemporary discourse treats slop as evidence of platform decay, AI oversaturation, and the exhaustion of visual culture. This talk approaches slop as a productive aesthetic condition that drives the multiplication of fragmented subgenres. Reading slop through multiplication foregrounds emergence, mutation, and genre production as key dynamics of digital cultures.

Moving across fruit slop, weirdcore, religious slop, theoryslop, lore slop, and girlslop, the talk maps slop as a site of aesthetic differentiation. Slop aesthetics reveal how recursive media like memes and brain rot produce new formal tendencies, narrative structures, and even modes of coming-together online.

Klaudia Orczykowska, “𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬, 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐀𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒™”

Pop on #Adderall explores how contemporary digital culture shapes attention, affect, and self-expression amid constant connectivity and overstimulation. Moving between personal memoir, music culture, and critical theory, the presentation traces how platforms like TikTok and SoundCloud produce new forms of aesthetic circulation, identity performance, and “hyperactive” cultural production. The talk situates these dynamics within everyday media experience, asking what kinds of subjectivity and meaning emerge when life is continuously mediated through algorithmic feeds and accelerated cultural feedback loops.

17:30 - 18:30 (Studio & Online) 🎤 INC 2.0 Updates: Enjoy Your Endings

With: Ruben Stoffelen, Mela Miekus, Tommaso Campagna, Chloë Arkenbout, Sepp Eckenhaussen, Giovanni Rossetti and Geert Lovink.

Many people have asked us what is going to happen with the INC archives, and where the organization is headed in the future. In this concluding session, the current INC core team will try to answer these questions as well as we can. We will first of all give an overview of all the archiving efforts of the past 18 months regarding the Wordpress website, the move of videos from Vimeo to Internet Archive, and the preservation of the website by the Royal Library in the Hague. We will also update you all about the move to the UvA Humanities Venture Lab, early September. But even more important is the collective effort to find funding, which will be related to the outcome of the Spui25 debate and the General Assembly, which we will try to summarize.

20:30-22:00 (Studio, Cinema & Online) 🎭🔊 Weaponised Media: Streaming Performances

🎭 Politics of Filtration by Ksenia Ryback and Dasha Hetmanova (Lecture Performance)

In October 2023, the Russian Federation established a special border regime for Ukrainian citizens. Since then, individuals attempting to reach their hometowns in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine have only one entry point – Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow. Alongside what have become “routine” border control procedures for visitors traveling through this airport, Ukrainian citizens have to undergo a process of “filtration”, which consists of a series of invasive procedures, such as screening and extraction of their biometric and digital data, conducted by the Russian Federal Security Service. Those rendered ‘suspicious’ during this process risk facing a ban on entry for up to 50 years, resulting in a lifetime deportation from the Russian Federation, and, in turn, from their occupied hometowns. At the same time, the incorporation of filtration practices into supposedly ‘ordinary’ border control procedures has mitigated and softened the violence of Russian technologies of occupation.

This project employs animation, 3D-modeling, and zine-making to test the ways in which grassroots projects situated at the intersection of investigative practices and theoretical reflections could analyze the state’s practices of surveillance and management of life under occupation. In this project, we zoom in and out of a broader network of elements situated far beyond the airport’s interrogation rooms, concealed in the airport’s faceless corridors. Through a performative lecture, we will engage with the video work made collaboratively with a spatial researcher and architect, Natasha Pereverzina, and present the research results, published as a zine created in dialogue with an artist and graphic designer, Stefania Bodnia.

🔊 Fannypack Music by Martina Raponi (Music Performance)

Fannypack Music: the most resilient, flexible, portable meta-genre. Minimum Production, Maximum Mess!

🎭 School of the Image: Constellations by Donatella Della Ratta, Noura Tafeche and THE VOID (Live Video Essay Performance)

A performance lecture in two voices, School of the Image: Constellations explores how images generate meaning through the dynamic relations they establish with one another. Drawing on Walter Benjamin’s notion of the constellation, the artist duo inhabits a field/counter-field structure — observing, contradicting, and completing each other — to trace how images think, remember, and connect across time, space and contexts.

🔊 Field (Before and After) by Gabriel Vigliensoni (Live Coding Music Performance)

Field (Before and After) is a sound and music performance that uses geolocation coordinates from active conflict zones. Rather than retrieving sounds of war, the piece surfaces recordings of everyday life tagged to those same places in the Freesound community archive. In parallel, fragments from my own music are played, processed, and deformed in real time. These two layers unfold together: sounds from places that are closer than they seem, and a private archive coming apart. Neither narrates the other.
