Geert Lovink and Platform Brutality
<p>Geert Lovink joins me in the studio for this new episode of Art in Permacrisis. Geert is a media theorist and the founder of the Institute of Network Cultures. He has a background in the Amsterdam squatting movement, he invented the notion of 'tactical media' several decades ago, and in recent years, he has focused on platform and social media critique. In this episode, we discuss his newest book, Platform Brutality. We talk about the violent turn of the tech overlords, technofeudalism, the question of tactical media today, antifascist figure design, and the special responsibility of art.</p><p><strong>LINKS & REFERENCES</strong></p><p>Platform Brutality: Closing Down Internet Toxicity: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://valiz.nl/en/publications/platform-brutality">https://valiz.nl/en/publications/platform-brutality</a></p><p>Notes on deletion and technological sacrifice: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://networkcultures.org/geert/2025/08/27/notes-on-deletion-and-technological-sacrifice/">https://networkcultures.org/geert/2025/08/27/notes-on-deletion-and-technological-sacrifice</a></p><p>Geert's two cents in the technofeudalism debate: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://networkcultures.org/geert/2024/03/22/cloud-capital-and-platform-regression-review-of-janis-varoufakis-techno-feudalism/">https://networkcultures.org/geert/2024/03/22/cloud-capital-and-platform-regression-review-of-janis-varoufakis-techno-feudalism</a></p><p>The origins of the Duckrabbit: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/duckrabbits-unveiled-a-sneak-peek-at-the-postartistic-theory-and-practice/">https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/duckrabbits-unveiled-a-sneak-peek-at-the-postartistic-theory-and-practice</a></p><p><strong>ABOUT</strong></p><p>Art in Permacrisis is a podcast on the organisation of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises, published by the Institute of Network Cultures and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://caradt.nl/">Caradt</a>.

Art in Permacrisis #9: Gizem Üstüner’s Low-Budget Projects
<p>Gizem Üstüner is an artist and researcher based in Amsterdam, whose work is a direct confrontation with the realities of precarity, migration, and womanhood. In recent years, she’s been traveling to Yogyakarta, Athens, Istanbul, and back to Amsterdam for the long-term ‘Low-Budget Projects’. Wherever she goes, Gizem seeks to build solidarity through one-on-one exchanges with peers navigating struggles similar to hers. Over coffees, cigarettes, nights out, or moments of protest, she listens, connects, and shares in the everyday tactics and resistance strategies that cultural practitioners develop in response to the cultural, economic, and political infrastructures they inhabit. In this podcast, we discuss the different chapters of Low Budget Projects, and what they tell us about transparency, solidarity, humor, and resistant joy among art workers’ communities.</p><p><strong>LINKS & REFERENCES</strong></p><p>Low-Budget Projects IG: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/lowbudgetprojects">instagram.com/lowbudgetprojects</a> </p><p>Low-Budget Projects Amsterdam: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://framerframed.nl/en/projecten/low-budget-projects-do-not-expect-anything-out-of-the-blue">https://framerframed.nl/en/projecten/low-budget-projects-do-not-expect-anything-out-of-the-blue</a> </p><p>Low-Budget Projects Athens: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://yellowbrick.gr/step-47-low-budget-projects">yellowbrick.gr/step-47-low-budget-projects</a> </p><p>Gizem on Stegi Radio: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://stegi.radio/artist/gizem-uestuener">stegi.radio/artist/gizem-uestuener</a></p><p><strong>ABOUT</strong></p><p>Art in Permacrisis is a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises, published by the Institute of Network Cultures and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://caradt.nl/">Caradt</a>.

Art in Permacrisis #8: Vermeir & Heiremans between Speculative Fiction and Operational Realism
<p>Vermeir & Heiremans started their collaborative artistic practice, when they defined their apartment in Brussels as an artwork and created the Art House Index in 2006. In the following decades, they developed a deep artistic research practice focusing on the interplay between art, speculation, finance, and real estate. Ronny Heiremans and Katleen Vermeir have also successfully worked on Belgian art policy development and co-founded the artistic research platform <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Website of Vermeir & Heiremans: https://www.in-residence.be/ Art House Index: https://www.in-residence.be/extensions/view/39 / http://ahi.in-residence.be/chart.php Article on 'A Modest Proposal (in a Black Box)' in Finance and Society, https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/finance-and-society/article/modest-proposal-in-a-black-box/4586E97058B4581F71795AEDBB647E1C Art workers proof (kunstwerkattest): https://www.workinginthearts.be/nl/professioneel/kunstwerkattest/kunstwerkattest/wat-is-het-kunstwerkattest Jubilee: https://www.jubilee-art.org/ Commons to Coop Summer School: https://kunsthal.gent/en/agenda/jubilee-summer-school-2024-commons-to-coop">Jubilee</a>.
