Coalition & Infrastructure
What if reimagining technology starts not with better tools, but with how we organise and gather? In a conversation with Kate Rich, moving between bug reports, bylaws, and spell‑making, TITiPI – The Institute for Technology in the Public Interest – works through their experiment in instituting otherwise. They rethink what institutions are for , and what kinds of life they make possible. What do budgets, servers, and contracts become when shaped by abolitionist commitments, radical kinship, and elastic solidarities? https://anarchive.fo.am/silver/technology_in_the_public_interest/ “ Community and Coalition‑Building ” follows a different thread: how formats for gathering travel, and what happens when they are remade in transit – picked up, compressed, decompressed, and adapted by people with their own infrastructures, constraints, and ways of working. It treats coalition as a design question, less a matter of shared ideology than of carefully tuned starting conditions that keep rooms open to unexpected participants and practices. https://anarchive.fo.am/silver/community_and_coalition_building/ Both texts find politics in the operational layer – how things are run, hosted, configured, and maintained – and both find something worth celebrating there: the ongoing, careful, sometimes joyful work of making and tending infrastructure for collective life.
