Julian OliverTVNZ (Television New Zealand) interviewed me about some of the work we're doing at Nīkau, and infrastructure activism more broadly. It was on TV nationally here this morning, archived soon after on YT. Apparently a longer version is in the mix somewhere, will follow up. For now, here's a privacy preserving copy of what was aired today:<a href="https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ozKC9xMK1yQ" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ozKC9xMK1yQ</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aotearoa</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infrastructure</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#technopolitics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a>

Julian OliverA good read on the pervasive US-born 'platform class', outlining the ideologies and reductionism that drive the dissolving of public services and institutions into digital platforms - privately run and cranked up on automation.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/11/doge-silicon-valley-tech-utopia" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/11/doge-silicon-valley-tech-utopia</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#technopolitics</a>

Kurtis ClarkIn a few days, I will share—and I'm incredibly excited about this—a short essay regarding the Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (<a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/@asrg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@asrg</a>), focusing on the aesthetic qualities and functional dynamics of ‘Algorithmic Sabotage’—a critical concept that highlights the collective politics of refusal, agency, and resistance and epitomises class-based mobilisation against the dominant technofascist agenda and the algorithmic foreclosure of the future.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlgorithmicSabotage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlgorithmicSabotage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Technopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Technopolitics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ASRG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ASRG</a>

Ab.CoMANIFESTO ON “ALGORITHMIC SABOTAGE”By the Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (<a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/@asrg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@asrg</a>)“To create? No, to destroy, destroy and destroy again, whatever the strength left in these muscles allows. Because destruction is the power that is left. The only thing worth a penny. Everything else will pass and be gone. Only their destruction will last. It’s a paradox with few equivalents. The young and capable of building new worlds, those who for years, on a daily basis, laid the foundations of faith for a better humanity, must now make hasty action, sabotage, destruction, the supreme achievements of life.” — Anonymous PartisanThe Manifesto on “Algorithmic Sabotage” is structured around ten propositions, numbered from 0 to 9, each delineating the underlying principles, strategic approaches, and aesthetic manifestations that constitute the critical concept of “algorithmic sabotage” within the continuously shifting and intricately intersecting contexts of digital culture and information technology. The document seeks not only to advance a robust, methodologically coherent framework—serving as a structural foundation for militant and tactically assertive resistance, agency, and refusal, in conjunction with strategically prefigurative and critically interventionist technopolitical orientations—but also to disseminate radical theoretical perspectives and criticism, emanating from the transformative impetus of insurrectionary desire. The “Manifesto” embodies the uncompromising trajectory of a political theory that persistently and ambidirectionally turns discourse into praxis, firmly asserting its presence within the tumultuous dynamics of contemporary liberation struggles.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AlgorithmicSabotage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlgorithmicSabotage</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Technopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Technopolitics</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RadicalTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RadicalTech</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/TacticalRefusal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TacticalRefusal</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LudditeFutures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LudditeFutures</a>:02lurk: <a href="https://algorithmic-sabotage.github.io/asrg/manifesto-on-algorithmic_sabotage/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://algorithmic-sabotage.github.io/asrg/manifesto-on-algorithmic_sabotage/</a>
