868labs invites participants into an exploration of mesh and wearable technologies that imagine communication beyond centralised infrastructures.
Developed in response to growing censorship, surveillance, and the erosion of digital autonomy, 868.wearables operate both as a tool of infrastructural resistance and as a speculative artefact, asking how communication might look if it were local, embodied, and self-sustaining.
Throughout the session, participants will unpack the political and technical conditions of network dependency, experiment hands-on with mesh communication devices, and collectively imagine new, bodily forms of connection grounded in the realities of today.
868.labs artwork's 868.wearables is on view in "From the Ashes of the Burnout Machines" at Galerie MAERZ. Also in conversation at the Showcase night.
