Our latest conference was on November 18, 2024 at Georgetown Law, hosted in partnership with the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR).  Our theme, “Surveillance / Resistance,” was broader and more ambiguous than the themes for previous years, and that was purposeful. What does resistance mean when surveillance isn’t just something that occurs in the environments where we live and work and play and think and create and struggle, but is actually the material with which so many of those environments are built? In a context of broad institutional corrosion and capture, in the face of proliferating global catastrophe, this is a question that remains open and difficult.
