Human Entities 2026: culture in the age of artificial intelligence Tenth edition
Tue, 2 June 2026, 6.30pm Permacomputing: small entrances to a wide collective Ana Meisel Web developer and artist Permacomputing applies permaculture, a design for Earth care, people care and fair share, to computing. It focuses on repair and inspects the all-encompassing impacts of technology through trails of ecology, conviviality and anti-capitalist politics. Communities dedicated to these ethics continue to form around the world and exercise it with art, mutual aid and practical guides to technological degrowth and maintainable systems. The aim is to impair dominant tech powers that funnel our emotions into data with seamlessly blunt interactions that coast us into a world of alienation filled with environmental harm. This momentous friction creates a new politicisation due to tech’s ubiquity and polarisation. Permacomputing’s idiosyncratic and minimal computing practices require slowness, thoughtfulness and communal knowledge sharing. This deepens relationships and sociability, and subsequently opens gateways to politics and class consciousness from ecofeminist, decolonial and communal foundations.
Ana Meisel Ana Meisel is a Polish-German web developer and artist based in London, UK.
