'''''If technological systems are implicated in the structuring of knowledge and knowledge systems are implicated in how technology operates … how do we start to think the world otherwise?'''''


The question above triggered Special Issue #12. It might sound impossibly abstract, but '''Radio Implicancies''' is rooted in a concrete concern. From the way the Latin alphabet has become ubiquitous in human-machine interfaces to the naturalized alignment of computation with binary separations, from mis-directed critiques on algorithmic discrimination, or harm done to marginalised knowledges by on-line learning platforms<ref>Taskeen Adam (2019), Digital neocolonialism and massive open online courses (MOOCs): colonial pasts and neoliberal futures</ref>, to eco-solutionism immersed in technocapitalism<ref>“I'm very pro-technology, but I belong to a crowd that is quite skeptical of the projects of what we might call the “techno-fix,” in part because of their profound immersion in technocapitalism and their disengagement from communities of practice.” Donna Haraway (2019), ''A Giant Bumptious Litter: Donna Haraway on Truth, Technology, and Resisting Extinction'' https://logicmag.io/nature/a-giant-bumptious-litter/?</ref> …  we ''know'' that technology orients knowledge and constrains what world(s) can be thought, studied, imagined and critiqued. We also know that dominant knowledge systems and technological systems are soaked in colonial thought, if not practice.<ref>“It is not so much that computing has a colonial impulse, but rather —as decolonial thinkers might argue— it is colonial through and through.” Syed Mustafa Ali (2016), ''A brief introduction to decolonial computing''</ref> But where do we start when we want to do things differently?
'''Radio Implicancies''' is about practicing interdependencies. About how to stay with the complex entanglements between the personal, the economical, the political and the computational. About thinking, using and making technology with mutual relations in mind.


Special Issue #12 invites you to experiment with propositions by feminist, non-binary, queer, anti-colonial and other disobedient researchers in response to this complex knot. Their resistant praxes widen the toolset for ‘thinking the world’ by paying attention to both matter and form. Their work considers feelings, intuitions, inventions, humour, diffractions and figurations in order to expand epistomologies (knowledge systems) as well as ontologies (thinking about what exists). They imagine knowledge infrastructures beyond binary separation, ask what non-exclusionary categories could do, or what other ways of calculating, validating, ordering collections of digital material could emerge. Of course none of them offers simple fixes to any of the issues on the table.

I borrowed the term “implicancies” from Denise Ferreira Da Silva and Arjuna Neumann. In their film ‘4 Waters: Deep Implicancy’, “implicancy” stands for entangled forms of responsibility that keep modern operations in place: extraction, disposession, segregation, externalisation and optimisation.<ref>Denise Ferreira Da Silva, Arjuna Neumann (2018), ''4 Waters: Deep Imlicancy'' https://vimeo.com/287255021</ref> But “implicancy” is also a technical term used in propositional calculus, explained as ‘the hypothesis of an implication’. Without having much experience with this type of mathematical logic, to me it suggests the possibility of a paradigm shift, not just by external agents, but by the power of imagination. As Da Silva writes: ‘What will have to be relinquished for us to unleash the imagination’s radical creative capacity and draw from it what is needed for the task of thinking The World otherwise? Nothing short of a radical shift in how we approach matter and form.’<ref>Denise Fereira Da Silva (2016), ''On difference without separability''</ref>


'''Radio Implicancies''' starts in the middle. It asks you to take a deep breath and jump in so we can work together on ways that knowledge and technology might intersect differently. Let’s not wait for tomorrow to pay attention to the colonial conditionings of contemporary techno-cultures!<ref>“I feel that the knowledges and methods our disciplines use have a very slim chance of survival. The epistemologies privileged by digital spaces and the various platforms that now (and maybe for the foreseeable future) become existential tools for teaching are not well suited to our epistemologies: What is the PowerPoint document, YouTube-Video, or interactive PDF that best simulates the experience of reading and discussing Gender Trouble for the first time? How do I do "mood work" (Carolyn Padwell) when teaching 20 people in a virtual classroom on BigBlueButton? How do you and I discuss the overt or residual racism and politics of Birth of Nation (1915) or The Green Book (2017), and my own position as a white person behind a MacBook using Zoom (unable to broadcast my system audio, and I do not know whether I should send the video-feed showing myself because of bandwidth issues)?” Simon Strick (2020), ''Digitally Drunk'' https://www.zfmedienwissenschaft.de/online/blog/digitally-drunk</ref>
If everything is mixed up with everything else, where do you start? Does it ever end? What does it mean to mean to say “stop” or “cut”? And how could anything change? '''Radio Implicancies''' invites you to experiment with practical and theoretical propositions by feminist, non-binary, queer, anti-colonial and other disobedient researchers/practitioners who each in their own way tug at the threads of techno-ecologies.<ref name="ftn1">"Seems to me that the cultural critic is faced by a world that is very much like tangled balls of yarn. And that one way to approach the situation is to pull on a thread and begin to untangle the ball of meanings. And begin to trace through one thread, and then another, what gets to count as nature, for whom, and when. And how much it costs to produce nature at a particular moment in history, for a particular group of people." Paper Tiger TV, ''Donna Haraway Reads “The National Geographic” on Primates'', 1987 [https://papertiger.org/donna-haraway-reads-the-national-geographic-on-primates/ https://papertiger.org/donna-haraway-reads-the-national-geographic-on-primates/]</ref> They crack jokes and demand the impossible but also pay attention to feelings of discomfort and despair. From and with them we learn about things like refusal, diffraction and figuration and about the openings these might make for imagining technology otherwise.


I borrowed the term “implicancies” from Denise Ferreira Da Silva and Arjuna Neumann. Their film ''4 Waters: Deep Implicancy'' is a poethical exploration of rivers, histories, volcanoes and schools of thought that flow together.<ref name="ftn2">Denise Ferreira Da Silva, Arjuna Neumann (2018), ''4 Waters: Deep Implicancy'' https://vimeo.com/287255021</ref> The “Deep implicancies” in the title of their film signals the entangled responsibilities for maintaining colonial hierarchies between what and who is considered to be of value or not. The film argues that to change this, we first of all need to displace the logics that make extraction, disposession, and segregation work. In an e-mail conversation with Neumann, Da Silva explains that she therefore prefers the term “deep implicancies” over “entanglement” because to her, entanglement is still informed by the possibility of separation, of de-tanglement or a return to a moment before the knot was made.<ref name="ftn3">“Deep Implicancy is an attempt to move away from how separation informs the notion of entanglement.” Denise Ferreira Da Silva in conversation with Arjuna Neumann</ref> This is the challenge we face: how to deal with deep implications and being implicated without falling into the trap of undoing and restoring; of falling for the promise of ''fair algorithms'', ''good data'' and ''zero carbon technologies''.


[[File:Catalogue.png|thumb|none|700px|Zoumana Meïté, Martino Morandi (2019), ''A new fire ceremony'']]
The Special Issue '''Radio Implicancies''' is an occasion to figure out routines for starting with small things, while keeping bigger structures in mind.<ref name="ftn4">“Any ‘archipelaic’ thought is a trembling thinking, it is about not-presuming, but also about opening and sharing. We do not need to define a Federations of States first, or to install administrative and institutional orders. It already begins its work of entanglement everywhere, without being concerned with establishing preconditions. As far as our relations in the Archipelago are concerned, let us start with the small things, while keeping in mind the big ones.” Edouard Glissant, ''Traite du tout monde'' </ref> Together we’ll test ways to hold complexity, by releasing often and early.<ref name="ftn0">“This well-known watchword among free software developers invites authors to forget about their complexes and to refrain from trying to produce a finished project on their first attempt. The question pertains to what ‘releasing sources’ means. Does this mean publishing source files? Adding comments to the code? Documenting them? Making the code generic in order to make it more easily reusable? This is the reason why it is preferable to publish as early as possible in order to enable others to contribute to the project, code-wise or documentation-wise…” Open Source Publishing (OSP), ''Relearn'', [http://osp.kitchen/api/osp.writing.relearn/5e0cdc51d618e150a67af0f18c21823afa17fa28/blob-data/EN_17-04-18-book.pdf http://osp.kitchen/api/osp.writing.relearn/5e0cdc51d618e150a67af0f18c21823afa17fa28/blob-data/EN_17-04-18-book.pdf]</ref> We’ll experiment with (and think with) ... other computing, alternative orders, queer analytics, affective infrastructures, multiple voices, iterative listening, performative recordings, collaborative annotation, rehearsing improvisation. Let's take a deep breath and ... start from the middle!

== How does this work ==
== How does this work ==


From April 22nd onwards, we meet every Wednesday afternoon between 14:00 and 17:00. Most afternoons an invited guest will join to propose an exercise, a question, something to read or a discussion. We will use these afternoons to build a set of materials, playlists, keywords, references, resources to be used for the Radio Implicancies broadcasts.
'''Radio Implicancies''' starts on Tuesday April 12 and from that moment on, we will publish a soundfile every week. This edition of '''Radio Implicancies '''is actually not a live broadcast but a series of eight audio-zines. In a way, Issue #18 is launched every week.
 
To make a collective environment for sound-production and listening together, we will start building a studio in the first week of the project. For hosting and contextualize the audio-zines, we will also need a basic web-platform. The soundfiles themselves can be created by any means necessary, i.e. you are invited to experiment with different protocols and editorial approaches: readings, DJ-ing, artificial voices, hardware experiments, field recordings … they can be live-on-tape (recorded from live sessions on Tuesday or earlier) or produced otherwise.
 
Every Tuesday morning, we will take time to listen to the soundfile-in-the-making in the studio. Testing out processes for working together is crucial, so we will keep rotating care-taking roles (coordinating the recording, technical support, preparing materials for publication etc.).
 
In addition to input by Femke and guests, Manetta, Michael, Joseph and Steve also provide input, feedback and support for your ongoing technical and conceptual work. In the second half of the project, guests will join to propose an exercise, a question, something to read or a discussion. Throughout regular tutorials and group sessions we will build a shared repository of playlists, routines, keywords, references, formats and resources.

On Thursday afternoons, Radio Implicancies broadcasts from 14:00-17:00. These public broadcasts are ongoing experiments with a specific subset of technological tools for sharing and formatting knowledge. Radio Implicancies will use any means necessary i.e. different protocols and editorial approaches: audio streaming, live-on-tape, DJ-ing, on-line reading groups, web-rtc, liquid soap, podcasts, xmpp chat, … We will use this wiki to support communication, documentation and archiving of the broadcasts.

In addition to the materials provided by guests, Aymeric, André, Michael and Steve will provide input and support for your ongoing technical and conceptual work through regular tutorials and on-line sessions.
'''May vacation'''


Special Issue #12 will be special in many ways. It will take place entirely on-line for  only nine weeks, including a two-week break. It is hosted by someone you have never met in RL while we individually and collectively plot through uncertain times. The Radio Implicancies schedule is therefore on purpose repetitive, so that we can use the time together to make changes and re-invent what it means to deal with implicancies and with being implicated. In a way Issue #12 will be launched again every week!

=== F I V E ===


Is an artist and researcher whose work re-appropriates scientific methods to explore the impact of digital systems over human agency and governance. Trained in Fine Arts at the ERG in Brussels and Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, she has developed a practice based approach to digital art preservation over the years, with a focus on variability, circulation, co-authorship and access. She's into these things: infrastructures, archives, cartography, spatiality, inexactitude, human ecosystems, biopower. She also cultivates a passion for embarassing puns and consternating news headlines.

Radio Implicancies

Radio Implicancies is about practicing interdependencies. About how to stay with the complex entanglements between the personal, the economical, the political and the computational. About thinking, using and making technology with mutual relations in mind.


If everything is mixed up with everything else, where do you start? Does it ever end? What does it mean to mean to say “stop” or “cut”? And how could anything change? Radio Implicancies invites you to experiment with practical and theoretical propositions by feminist, non-binary, queer, anti-colonial and other disobedient researchers/practitioners who each in their own way tug at the threads of techno-ecologies.[1] They crack jokes and demand the impossible but also pay attention to feelings of discomfort and despair. From and with them we learn about things like refusal, diffraction and figuration and about the openings these might make for imagining technology otherwise.

I borrowed the term “implicancies” from Denise Ferreira Da Silva and Arjuna Neumann. Their film 4 Waters: Deep Implicancy is a poethical exploration of rivers, histories, volcanoes and schools of thought that flow together.[2] The “Deep implicancies” in the title of their film signals the entangled responsibilities for maintaining colonial hierarchies between what and who is considered to be of value or not. The film argues that to change this, we first of all need to displace the logics that make extraction, disposession, and segregation work. In an e-mail conversation with Neumann, Da Silva explains that she therefore prefers the term “deep implicancies” over “entanglement” because to her, entanglement is still informed by the possibility of separation, of de-tanglement or a return to a moment before the knot was made.[3] This is the challenge we face: how to deal with deep implications and being implicated without falling into the trap of undoing and restoring; of falling for the promise of fair algorithms, good data and zero carbon technologies.

The Special Issue Radio Implicancies is an occasion to figure out routines for starting with small things, while keeping bigger structures in mind.[4] Together we’ll test ways to hold complexity, by releasing often and early.[5] We’ll experiment with (and think with) ... other computing, alternative orders, queer analytics, affective infrastructures, multiple voices, iterative listening, performative recordings, collaborative annotation, rehearsing improvisation. Let's take a deep breath and ... start from the middle!


How does this work

Radio Implicancies starts on Tuesday April 12 and from that moment on, we will publish a soundfile every week. This edition of Radio Implicancies is actually not a live broadcast but a series of eight audio-zines. In a way, Issue #18 is launched every week.

To make a collective environment for sound-production and listening together, we will start building a studio in the first week of the project. For hosting and contextualize the audio-zines, we will also need a basic web-platform. The soundfiles themselves can be created by any means necessary, i.e. you are invited to experiment with different protocols and editorial approaches: readings, DJ-ing, artificial voices, hardware experiments, field recordings … they can be live-on-tape (recorded from live sessions on Tuesday or earlier) or produced otherwise.

Every Tuesday morning, we will take time to listen to the soundfile-in-the-making in the studio. Testing out processes for working together is crucial, so we will keep rotating care-taking roles (coordinating the recording, technical support, preparing materials for publication etc.).

In addition to input by Femke and guests, Manetta, Michael, Joseph and Steve also provide input, feedback and support for your ongoing technical and conceptual work. In the second half of the project, guests will join to propose an exercise, a question, something to read or a discussion. Throughout regular tutorials and group sessions we will build a shared repository of playlists, routines, keywords, references, formats and resources.

Reading/Study week

Diffractive Reading: Pick two resources from the Related Resources page, and read/watch/... them "diffractively" through one another (i.e let them interfere with each other). Prepare a way to share some resonance for the afternoon session on Tuesday 7 June; duration p/p for doing this is maximum 5 minutes: A sound, an image, a quote, a performative response, an object, (it does not have to be durational) ... If you want to, you can take one resource from elsewhere but include at least one from the page. You can also pick materials that we watched/looked at together already.

The rules of the Argentine/global tango are not respected and roles are playfully reversed. Together we investigate the way we walk and how we can do this more consciously. Anyone who would like to move to music from a century ago, whether alone or together with someone else, is welcome. No experience with tango or dance is required. This practice is inspired by the pioneering South American feminist movement. The workshop aims to question the hierarchical relationship in improvisation by undermining historical and archetypal gender norms in tango"
