📢 Child Protection Is Not Access Control Age verification is spreading beyond adult sites into social media, messaging, gaming. Even operating systems. The framing says it's for children. The effect is something else: a permissioned internet where access requires proof of identity. We can and should protect children without turning the network into a checkpoint. 🔗

Age verification turns the open internet into a permission system and pushes control away from families, schools, and users.

You know us: at Dyne, we've never been the type to spy on our own people. We're a community, not a dataset. But Discord's new age verification rules force exactly that: scanning IDs at the door like we're entering a nightclub, not a conversation.

A gathering to dissect its impact on war, surveillance, capital, and culture. Thirty speakers at Berlin’s HAU1 will trace the aftershocks, followed by an activation to draft the next protocol of exposure. This is a tactical debrief for the age of deeper, quieter controls.

Feelings defy algorithms; they unfold in unpredictable, nonlinear ways. The exhibition Feelings Are Always Local maps the journey of a Milan artist network experimenting with digital tools from the early 2000s onward. Their works suggest a fluid, living cross-pollination born from shared interaction. The only certainty? Feelings can't be calculated. They are always local, anchored in a dimension no server can host.
