> Hundred Rabbits is a small artist collective. Together, we explore the planned failability of modern technology at the bounds of the hyper-connected world. We research and test low-tech solutions and document our findings with the hope of building a more resilient future.

> We live and work aboard a ship called Pino. Sailing around the Pacific Ocean made us realize how fragile the modern computing stack was. Living in remote uninhabited parts of the world has offered us a playground to learn how technology degrades beyond the shores of the western world.

Calculating Empires —— 记录 5 个世纪技术与社会发展的巨型图谱

👁 Calculating Empires 是一个非常壮观的对于技术和社会演化的可视化图谱,记录了从 1500 年开始 5 个世纪以来殖民化、军事化、自动化和圈地运动的技术模式,展示了这些力量如何持续地进行支配,以及如何被化解

🔍 项目围绕四大主题展开:通信、计算、分类与控制,你可以观察到有哪些古老的技术被沿用至今,而它们又如何改变了社会结构。例如,在手机、个人电脑和互联网崛起的时代,信息传播为权力操控提供了新的契机(Communications as Spaces of Manipulation)

🧩 在项目介绍中,它引用了法国历史学家费尔南·布罗代尔的话,「如果一个人想要理解这个世界,就必须确定力量、潮流和个体运动的层次结构,然后将它们组合起来形成整体的格局」

Recently I’ve been reading sci-fi by qntm and had a blast. He’s probably most known for the novel There Is No Antimemetics Division which is a gem in a SCP setting. Highly recommended.

If you need some convincing, read this short story first: https://qntm.org/transi

P.S. Most of his works is freely available on his website.
