Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

We proposed to 1) Audit the university's dependence on Big Tech 2) Experiment with alternatives with students and staff, including but not limited to hosting our own (experimental) digital services and 3) Document everything so that it could outlive the residency.
Diagram summarising all the aspects of the project proposal. the left side has the students, staff, and University College Cork, the right side is the Luddite academy. Both have arrows pointing to a middle column where they meet around the tree main activities of the project: Audit (interviews, office hours, reports/maps), Experiment (online prototypes, workshops), and Document (curated resources, publishing platform). The arrows coming out of the luddite academy towards these activities are labelled with the modes of action of the academy: produce artwork, curate, produce tools/code, teach, publish/host

The project was titled "The Luddite Academy" and proposed to bring the current resurgence of luddite theory and praxis to bear on the university's digital arts and humanities departments.

Every Tesla is a surveillance device. This is worth knowing regardless of whether you engage in protest activity.

This chart shows the locations and ranges of the cameras, presuming they have an unobstructed view.
