Lecture and Workshop. Trebor Scholz and Tiziana Terranova. Overexploited and Underpaid 
Greenpeace Switzerland. iSlave. Illustration, 2011
In the fourth session of the seminar Six Contradictions and the End of the Present, Trebor Scholz and Tiziana Terranova will explore the radical transformation of labour in the digital economies. Though the Internet was initially considered a public space based on the free interaction among equals, it is now conceived as a huge factory without walls where any aspect of the day-to-day life can be valorised, produced and commoditised. Is there any alternative to this scenario? Answering to the question, Trebor Scholz advocates for a “platform cooperativism” – as opposed to “platform capitalism” – that helps create a more just and equitable network. For her part, Tiziana Terranova argues for democratic re-appropriation of the Internet that entails a different way of governance. The session will include a public lecture and a debate workshop led by both theorists. Dates: 12 and 13 September 2018

RRS. Radio del Museo Reina Sofía. Big Data, privatization and inequality. An interview with Evgeny Morozov 
The meteoric rise of digital giants worldwide has posed a raft of unsettling questions on the concentration of political, economic and social power in the hands of tech brokers. After relatively innocuous beginnings in the fields of advertising and online shopping, technology companies have expanded the range of their operations to offer an ever-growing array of services, many maintained by powerful artificial intelligence tools that feed off our data, hailing from areas as divergent as cybersecurity and health care.
