Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am an Irish PhD researcher in northern Sweden who is looking at deeper, more agonistic, ways to interact with technologies as a way to make space for a healthier relationship with the algorithmic systems that are becoming more ubiquitous.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I recently met Christian Ulrik Andersen and he pointed me in your direction, as a potentially relevant group to get in touch with. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your approach to systems is very compelling, and has many intersections with the kind of ideas I am looking at for interfaces. My whole direction is towards a more involved relationship with tech, which goes against traditional design approaches and requires
the user to be more of a sysadmin over their interactions - very much about owning your own server/interactions and thickening the thin-clients that are being pushed on us.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would it be possible to meet and chat with any of you? I think I may have a lot to learn from Syster Server and might be able to give something back through collaboration and involvement. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me know if you would have time for me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Rob</div>
