In this episode, Brianna Castagnozzi, one of the editors-in-chief of Solarpunk Magazine, is here to give up the solarpunk artist’s eye view on solarpunk art and AI; a very different take than the solarpunk hacker’s view given to us by John Threat in season three episode seven. As much as I (Christina) was convinced by John’s advice not to stick your head in the sand but to master the tools of your capitalist overlords, Bri has equally compelling points about not joining into an activity that exploits the work of artists without their consent and without compensating them.

From the description:

"Between September 15 to 24, 2023, you can go be a part of renowned hacktivist, writer/director, and creative futurist John Threat’s Zukunft Garden—a solarpunk future garden—that’s part of Vision2030’s Earth Edition festival at CalArts, in Santa Clarita, near Los Angeles. Join us for this episode, where John talks to Christina about this social art installation, what it means and can signify for participants, and the inspiration behind it. They discuss John's background as a hacker, an activist, a cyberpunk and, most recently, a solarpunk dedicated to thinking outside of the systems of this world.

Stay tuned also for what John has to say about what solarpunk can do with AI art and why we should be engaging with AI technology, rather than ignoring it outright - as John points out, corporations will still be using AI, and it's incumbent on solarpunks to know thy enemy ... or at least, to be able to know enough about new technologies to decide whether or not to use them as tools for community support and envisioning better futures, rather than taking advantage of others."

@xtinadlr here. Here’s another one for the bulging how uncool am I file. I was wandering around on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and the Zukunftgarten account caught my eye. Zukunftgarten is a German compound word that translates as future garden. What else could I think but aha! This must be a German solarpunk. Because I live in Germany, I should follow them…

(@arielkroon jumping in here to tell you that it turns out that Christina cold-called - well, slipped into the DMs of - John Threat aka Corrupt aka legendary hacktivist of the Great Hacker War, in order to interview him for our next podcast episode.

Listener, she had zero clue who he was the entire time and it's an amazing conversation. We can't wait for you to hear it! In the meantime, have an excellent background read on the process...)
