welcome to internet-undercommons!

you are the person to visit here!

here are some places to visit for now:

1. a meet-us room!

2. meet the server friend hosting our page!

some more stuff to think about and create together, slowly and collectively:

1. a collaborative wordpress blog for Chinese leftist writings

2. a 404 archive accessible within China's firewall - fugitive content and internet undercommons

3. a wuhan covid memory box

4. a place for creating and remembering things with my mom

some questions/invitations for thoughts to all of us:

1. how to make intentionally-mystified and abstracted technologies and infrastructures tangible? (sometimes it's hard to communicate what that visceral experience feels like and on the surface everything sorta looks the same (etherpad or google docs, both appearing on my browser, one click away - but it's so different!!! how can i explain this!!) - varia servers)

2. how to get people (friends and family, moms and dads) excited about or interested in these issues without making things sound even more distancing and irrelevant?

3. what is the role of network/online technologies in the offline scenario? what does the offline space and time mean for online communities/solidarity? (been thinking about radio projects or local private networks, which are usually limited in terms of physical-distance reach. so people kinda need to be at one place or close to each other to use these technologies. but if people are already close to each other, we could just talk? what are the ways and situations for us to need/best use the devices' mediation?)
