<nettime> BEYOND CONTROL: Resisting Digital Oppression & Authoritarianism - April 20-21, Berlin


Dear Nettimers,

I would like to invite you to take part in person or online to our 32nd
conference "BEYOND CONTROL: Resisting Digital Oppression &
Authoritarianism", at Kunstquartier Bethanien (Berlin and streaming),
April 20-21, 2024.
https://www.disruptionlab.org/beyond-control

Challenging wartime systems of misinformation, communication monopolies
& anti-democratic propaganda machines.

The conference challenges systematic strategies of repression to advance
political goals, discussing misinformation and information warfare in
the context of right-wing propaganda. The talks expose the monopoly of
communication channels that can shape and distort reality, conceal
abuses and maintain power, and present strategies to circumvent
restricted access to technology and information during wars and conflicts.
