The web was meant to be a commons. We were supposed to build knowledge together, talk across borders, own the means of our own communication. Instead we rent everything as a subscription. A few Silicon Valley corporations hold the infrastructure, set the terms, and harvest whatever we do on top of it, while we are left to take their algorithms on faith. The network once sold to us as decentralised has quietly consolidated into a few hands, and the experience only grows more enshittified. A road pointing toward techno-feudalism.This semester we turned the tables. We went down to the foundations to ask what the digital actually is and how it works: how hardware, networks and protocols become platforms, and how something built to be decentralised ends up owned in almost no one‘s hands. Only this understanding lets us reclaim agency over our digital practices and build counter-proposals of our own.Eleven projects came out of this semester, each one rooted in a local place and a problem its users actually have. None of them tracks you. None of them ships your data to a data centre you will never see. Designed in a privacy-first manner, built on free and open-source foundations, and running on small servers mounted on each poster. Where the big platforms force every situation through the same generic interface, these do the opposite: the interface is created specifically for the local usecase, instead of somehow fitting in the blueprint of one of the platforms interfaces. Each one is self-hosted in this room and still reachable from the global open internet, resulting in a digital infrastructure you can actually touch, and unplug.
