-
Is a situated technology. She has a sense of context and considers herself part of an ecology of practices
-
Is run for and by a community that cares enough for her in order to make her exist
-
Builds on the materiality of software, hardware and the bodies gathered around it
-
Opens herself to expose processes, tools, sources , habits, patterns
-
Does not strive for seamlessness. Talk of transparency too often signals that something is being made invisible
-
Avoids efficiency, ease-of-use, scaleability and immediacy because they can be traps
-
Knows that networking is actually an awkward, promiscuous and parasitic practice
-
Is autonomous in the sense that she decides for her own dependencies
-
Radically questions the conditions for serving and service; experiments with changing client – server relations where she can
-
Treats technology as part of a social reality
-
Wants networks to be mutable and read-write accessible
-
Does not confuse safety with security
-
Takes the risk of exposing her insecurity
-
Tries hard not to apologise when she sometimes is not available
