Geert Lovink, Professor of Art and Network Cultures at the University of Amsterdam, dives deep into the transformative concepts from his work, Extinction Internet. He challenges the dysfunction of modern internet culture and argues for new psychoanalytical frameworks that encourage healthier digital living. Lovink discusses the looming extinction of the internet, emphasizing creativity over consumption, and advocates for reclaiming social power through technology. He calls for responsibility in digital advancement, envisioning a future that prioritizes societal and ecological well-being.

By Mathilde Hjelle and The Void Team What is the goal of all this, ultimately? For THE VOID the ambitions are not just short-term collaboration, but rather to construct something useful and sustainable. While projects and videos have a definitive timeline of production, the knowledge and experience we gather do not. Collective knowledge-making does not move into post-production and the final stage, it is always in development. Thus, we are reaching for means to archive and share our experience for future projects to come, both of our own and from others. We seek to blur the boundaries between formats to create a transformative agenda that expands publishing for practice-based research.
