How to leave Meta: A practical field guide
Having recently ditched its professional fact checkers, Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms Inc. is waging what commentators have called "the war on facts", side by side with Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Sounds just about the right time to leave Meta for good and never look back?

Many people agree, but it is easier said than done: through such popular services as Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, Meta's roots have extended deep into our daily lives. Leaving Meta's services will require some efforts – but supporting each other in the transition can make it so much easier. 

This is why we have invited Maia Kahlke Lorentzen, an expert in internet culture, to present us with a practical field guide on how to leave Meta and stay connected in the process. Maia will give a short presentation on the viable alternatives to Meta's platforms after which we will have plenty of time for Q&A and group discussions.

Everyone is invited to join the even.! Let us join forces digitally in alternative spaces!

Time and place: Monday, 10 March 16:00-17:30 in AUD 4 in room 4A60.
 
New doors at Rued Langgaards Vej
The two revolving doors at Rued Langgaards Vej will be replaced. The doors next to the Information Desk will be replaced first starting Monday, 10 March. The doors next to the Canteen will be replaced in week 12 starting Monday, 17 March. 

The replacement takes about a week for each door. While the doors are being replaced, you have to use the entrance from the parking lot.
 
FM will be taking precautions in terms of draft and cold, depending on the weather outside, but you may still experience some temporary changes to the indoor climate in the Atrium.
 
Thank you for your understanding.

Launch of exhibition 'Within Limits' by artist Jacob Remin
Over the past 30 years, digital technologies have promised efficiency, ease and connection, and a solution to many of society’s grand challenges. These promises are part of an imaginary of unconstrained resources to satisfy their speed and scale.
What they leave out is a host of questions around the type of computation society, we can live with.

Join Artist Jacob Remin – in collaboration with Professor James Maguire and Frauke Mennes – in the Atrium on 7 March from 15:00-17:00 for the launch of Within Limits – an art installation that questions and reimagines the scalar logics inherent in computational worlds.

After the launch, the exhibition will run until the end of April with a break between 22-25 March. Anyone can come and see the exhibition within ITU’s opening hours. 

The exhibition is supported by Statens Kunstfond. Find out more by clicking below. 
 
CCIT Seminar with Martin Abott
Join us on 5 March from 14:00-15:00 in room 2A08 or online for a talk with Martin Abott (PhD at Cornell University) titled: 'Equity in Action’ or Equity Inaction? New Orleans, Digital Technology, and the United States’ National Flood Insurance Program.

Martin examines how being flood smart and the notion of equity are reshaping the future of the United States’ National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

After Hurricane Katrina, scholars showed that disaster recovery programs deepened racial wealth gaps. To address this inequity, he takes up calls to scrutinise the disproportionate impacts of flooding and planning mechanisms that perpetuate inequality.

He argues that the label of ‘smart’ and digital technologies conceals, rather than confronts, a long history of inequity.
