Here's the second one (out of two). I felt it deserved its own thread as the topic is different.

PANEL DESCRIPTION Digital labor regimes have infiltrated various processes from global logistics and supply chains to mass production and mechanic work. Scale, speed, and acceleration are key to these processes of increasing algorithmic control (simultaneously critiqued and celebrated). What are the cracks, frictions, and gaps in this seemingly all-subsuming finance capitalism? How might we have to re-articulate what counts as solidarity and collective organizing to counter distributed, isolating, and large-scale structures of control? How can we intervene in the persistent techno-optimism that live on in contemporary engineering and design?
