INC associate researcher Morgane Billuart is pleased to invite you to « Bad Kingdom », a conversation on early internet nostalgia. She will be introducing and moderating a discussion with INC media theorist Geert Lovink and artist Radu Tipul Ala at post-office. Together, they will explore early internet ideologies, internet cafés, and community building in contemporary digital spaces.
What does it mean to long for the early internet—its weirdness, intimacy, and DIY spirit? More importantly, how can we move beyond this nostalgic state in light of the platformized, violent, and hyper-commercial internet we now inhabit? What digital and playful communities can we imagine and hope for?
30th of June 2025, door opens at 7:00 PM, conversation starts at 7:30 PM.
