Greta Byrum, co-director of the New School's Digital Equity Laboratory, will be presenting a consentful tech related session called "Portable Network Kit (PNK): Building Community Tech" at re:publica 2018 in Berlin:
A Portable Network Kit (PNK) is a simply assembly of equipment that builds a basic wireless network (raspberry pi server + router + access point + battery). You can use it to communicate in an emergency, as an offline/local "sneakernet," or to share an internet connection. In this workshop we'll use a PNK to demystify wireless networking, and to create a consentful technology - one that embeds our consent as users, our control of our digital bodies, into tech design and function.
