“Cloud computing” is uitgegroeid tot een cruciaal onderdeel van het hedendaagse digitale landschap. “De cloud” roept het beeld op van iets immaterieels, luchtigs, abstracts en plaatsloos: gegevens die door de lucht zweven. Maar dit beeld overschaduwt de materiële realiteit van onze digitale gewoonten: internetkabels die de zeebodem kruisen, energieverslindende serverparken, edelmetalen die worden gewonnen om chips te produceren en nog meer ‘spullen’ die samen vormen wat we nu ‘de cloud’ noemen. De tastbare ‘spullen’ die informatica verbinden met de dagelijkse realiteit zijn grotendeels eigendom van, worden beheerd en ontworpen door grote techbedrijven die hun beslissingen baseren op winstmaximalisatie.

Hoe kunnen we duurzaamheid, sociale rechtvaardigheid en democratie centraal stellen bij de manier waarop deze alledaagse infrastructuren worden gebouwd, ontwikkeld en onderhouden? Kunnen we selfhosting toegankelijker maken? Kunnen we ons alternatieve internetstructuren voorstellen? Kunnen we ‘de cloud’ weer op aarde brengen?

Deze vragen staan centraal in het publieke programma van HDSC2026: Clouds to Commons!

HDSC2026 runs from July 13 to 23 with an intensive hands-on program together with a group of 30+ participants. The public program aims to contextualise the Summer Camp and open up the reflection and processes of its hands-on trajectory to a wider audience. If you are curious about H&D's activities but never joined any, this is a great starting point. Join us for talks, performances, a field trip, a meal, and more, let's connect, start conversations, deconstruct and re-imagine "the Cloud"!
