✂️ About decapitulation (S2026-E01)

"The world is moving fast, and so are dynes." That sounds sooooo 3 months ago! Some things change, others evolve. It's all a matter of perspective in Space and Time: there are many different ways to keep a calendar.

🟣 Gestalt: Negotiating Meaning

We live in a fractured computational world, where every window is a separate language, and each tool has its own private ontology. Meaning gets lost in translation between humans, compilers, task managers, and LLM.

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”
— Ludwig Wittgenstein

With Gestalt, we respond to this fracture. It’s a new environment where you and your LLM agents can negotiate shared meaning through cooperation instead of commands. Wittgenstein said, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." Gestalt lifts those limits, building an intelligent system where coherence is negotiated, not imposed.

🎁🐈 Quantum Dynes

Post-quantum stuff seems complicated. Possibly even hyped. But it doesn't have to be that way. Dynes find purpose and strength in helping their fellow beings understand the tech that defines the modern realities. If you're into the Post-quantum rabbit hole, here are two articles for you:

A theoretical, but grounded one.

And one to get your hands dirty (and possibly explode the frame in which you conceptualize the notion of a "Web App")

💖 We love recaps

Our sister org, W3P, released their yearly recap, and it's mind-blowing! The sheer amount of events, activities, meetups, toolkits... It's just beautiful! Take a closer look at what they achieved in 2025. And maybe sign up for a meetup next time they're in your town!

🏘️ Open Source Village

The Open Source Village is taking place in Brussels from January 26 to February 6. Around this year’s FOSDEM, they’re creating something special for the open-source community: a two-week pop-up village where people can meet, work, and build together.

The Open Source Village is designed as a home base for developers, maintainers, founders, and contributors who seek more than just conference talks. It’s a place to co-work, host sessions, and form real collaborations in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

It's rumored that Jaromil is preparing a little something something about digital identity for it... Scroll down to find out! Did you catch this article btw?

🤖 Promptline

Imagine a terminal interface for streaming chat with OpenAI-compatible APIs. Written in Go. No exec. No deps. Just a single binary that works over SSH. Well, that's Promptline for you!

Give it a shot! You might just find yourself buildin', runin', configurin', and hackin' in minutes. Here's the source code:

🗞️ Devuan in the spotlight

Have you tried Devuan yet? You really should: it's made by and for dynes like you!

9to5linux.com took a first look at the latest release: Devuan GNU+Linux 6 "Excalibur", specifically the series for the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer. They were not disappointed! Give it a spin, dyne! This is your call!

📣 AMRO: Where Art Hacks the Mainframe

Art Meets Radical Openness (AMRO) isn't a festival. It's a biennial campfire for the rebellious. A space where code meets conscience, pixels meet protest, and digital tools are forged not for profit, but for autonomy.

This is a community-built context for diagnosing the fever dreams of our techno-social reality, where critical art and self-developed software become the same critical apparatus. It examines the politics embedded in our networks and devices, not through detached panels, but through participatory rituals, hands-on workshops, and live, glitched-out performances.

AMRO carves out a space for the vital, messy, and necessary work of building the digital world we wish to inhabit, not the one we're being sold.

AI Festival

🗓️ 21st-22nd January 2026
📍 Università Bocconi - Milan

The third edition of the AI Festival will take place on January 21st and 22nd, 2026, in Milan and will be dedicated to the theme: empowering the agentic era.

Artificial intelligence has entered a new phase: that of AI Agents, systems capable of acting autonomously, making complex decisions, and collaborating with humans proactively.

This new generation of AI is not only more powerful, but it is also more independent and challenges us to rethink the relationships between technology, society, and responsibility.

Workshop on Identity and Disposable Identities

🗓️ 30th January 2026
📍 Commons Hub - Brussels

The situation today is that all outer ends of the web and all the circles can look at the ‘I’, the spider. If the spider is us, it is clear that there is no way out, nor does it help to fight off one circle or one outer end. No, we have to reverse the situation.

We are at a historic turning point. AI is accelerating the intelligence of all the outer nodes in a way we have never seen before.

The Model is the Message - Marshall McLuhan Lecture

🗓️ 27th January 2026
📍 Embassy of Canada to Germany - Berlin

The 2026 Marshall McLuhan Lecture, The Model is the Message, becomes a pluriversal roundtable without a table – a forum on AI sovereignty, understood as the right of nations, peoples, and knowledge systems to build and govern their own models. In conversation, Scott Benesiinaabandan and Lucas LaRochelle, moderated by Camila Lombana Diaz, bring perspectives from Canada and across the planet, re-wiring the root codes of artificial intelligence through endemic and multi-situated epistemologies.

Registration is open now, spaces are limited!

Nature Feeling Form

🗓️ Vernissage: 3rd February 2026 - 18:00 CET
📍 Kunstraum am Schauplatz, Praterstrasse 42, Wien. Austria

Our mastery over nature is an illusion built on broken senses. The reality is stranger: oxygen emerges from quantum dances, coastlines hide in fractal algorithms, entangled particles whisper across continents... We are surrounded by codes we cannot consciously read and beauty bound to invisible mathematics.

Just as art conceals meaning within form, nature encrypts its truths. Our perception, shaped by culture, filters this vast conversation between electron and landscape, between leaf and law. This is not chaos. It is a coherent, recursive poetry we’ve only begun to parse.

Art, then, becomes a kind of translation returning us to nature not as conquerors, but as listeners. To engage sincerely with creation is to tune into these hidden frequencies, to find style not in expression alone, but in the silent syntax of the world.

What if we stopped seeing and started reading?
