Not sure it could be more brutal, the direct erasure of the natural world for the proprietary and digital. Not to mention done by a corporation in service to a foreign superpower.

Apparently another 150,000 more trees were felled at their Otanmäki site. Both for AI data-centers.

The wood from neither site can be sold, as they were cut down illegally, and to rub it in, Google stripped the top soil of both sites. Totally denuded the land.

Today we are opening our new large-scale neon LED installation «HowToSabotageWorkBetter_2027.pdf». The work is produced by invitation from the City of Zurich's public art programme (KiÖR). From tonight it lights up the façade of the Energiezentrale Josefstrasse in Zurich throughout the coming winter.

🗑️📎🚫🖥️⛔ HowToSabotageWorkBetter_2027.pdf

The work is prompted by Zurich's claim to be the "Silicon Valley of Europe" and takes its cue from a declassified manual for simple sabotage from the Second World War. The 1944 Simple Sabotage Field Manual contains instructions on how to slow down work under fascist occupation. It became one of the most downloaded PDFs amongst staff in the first days after Donald Trump's inauguration in 2025.

HowToSabotageWorkBetter_2027.pdf is placed strategically along the railway line into the city, as an instructional invitation aimed at the city's tech workers and commuters. It is an intervention in public space that confronts the logic of working under digital systems of control with a series of instructions calling for slowness, detours, inefficiency and refusal.

HowToSabotageWorkBetter_2027.pdf transforms the façade of the Energiezentrale Josefstrasse and you may also come across the instructions on the rear of city buses, as stickers and as virtual backgrounds on video calls, extending the intervention into public space and everyday working life.

"Slopensource" is a nice one! I think it had to be applied long before vibe coding.

"Agentic Bricoleur" is a bit of an artificial construct IMHO, but I in general don't believe in the concept of bricolage.

Today I had a rare chance to see and sign an original Digital Folklore book in great condition with the I Can Has History poster still inside :)

„Torvalds’s first publicly released chatbot code was in January this year, when he vibe-coded a project in Python because he didn’t know enough Python. The programming language kids learn in high school. The guy who runs the kernel couldn’t get his head around #Python.“
