title: Algorithms as Authors
sort: 1

- consider our geo-political and body-political position when designing, building, researching and theorizing about computing 

- embrace the 'decolonial' option: thinking through what it means to design and build the systems that we propose to produce with and for those situated at the periphery of the world system. This involves thinking with trees as entities that have been under cared for and are literally on fire due largely also to the effects of colonialism and subsequently global climate change. How can we respectfully engage with trees when creating a publishing house?

- unfold coding practises: embrace this 'decolonial option', understand their structures, the histories and contexts they are embedded in and the radical processes they execute. What if algorithms were committed to a more equal world and a healthier planet? What if algorithms tried to form a symbiosis with trees?
