Research Project
The project takes a look at the ActivityPub protocol and the "fediverse", which grew around it. It discusses the frictions between capitalist enclosures on the one hand and resistance against digital capitalism on the other. Between software studies, ideology critique and media history it discusses the changes withign the concepts like property, work or care through the lense of various digital infrastructures.
