mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Big tech companies are
more than just vague corporate
ideas drifting in a cloud. They have gradually become our
neighbors, shaping
spaces and futures (Berlin VS Amazon 2023;
Solnit/Schwartzenberg 2018).
Promising the most convenient ‘solutions’ to transform
increasingly tech-driven
cities, corporations influence what is on the map; how
place-based politics are
designed; and, ultimately, who gets to participate in
decision-making-processes
about our living-together of tomorrow (Mattern 2021;
Shaw/Graham 2017).</span></p>

mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">In these often
tech-euphoric times, bottom-up
reclamations and cyberfeminist approaches to ‘hack’ the urban
have become
important and critical voices (Maalsen 2022; Sollfrank 2018):
their organizing
based on the principles of commoning, sovereignty, and
feminist positionality
refuse the looming tech-solutions to multiple crises (Vadiati
2022; Voigt
2023). Sovereignty, especially, has been contested among major
and resistant
forces. Sadowski (2021: 1732) foresees the fundamental shift
of technology
companies in moving beyond treating “the city merely as a
place to extract
value from and start thinking of it as also a space to
exercise dominion over”.
The bottom-up urban sovereignty discourse challenges that and
aims to reclaim
control over technology, space, and the politics between them
(Lynch 2020;
Pierri/Lüning 2023). It meets the growing privatization of
public goods in the
interest of capitalist goals with drafts of alternative
resources and worlds.</span></p>

mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Be it as activists,
educators, hackers, tinkerers,
artists, practitioners, and/ or academics: (digital)
grassroots collectives
have long been pioneers of opening the black box, building
informational
infrastructures, and creatively thinking through the
entanglement of the
interspace between the analog and the digital. In the urban
context, however,
this is often a balancing act. Grassroots movements stand
between fighting for
a right to the (digitally accessible) city and initiating or
fueling
gentrification processes with their creative capital (Tonkiss
2013). Although
they mostly resist the dominant techno-political settings of a
platformization
of cities, they similarly feed into its entrepreneurial,
solutionist, and
techno-deterministic “fix-thinking” (Carraro 2023: 2). Often
enough, grassroots
collectives fill gaps of the neoliberal city with unpaid
care-work and
infrastructure. Therewith, they repair and reproduce what
might need
revolutionary change instead.</span></p>

mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">At the same time,
techno-urban practices from the
bottom up also remind us to tend to a world “in which
carelessness reigns” (The
Care Collective 2020: 1; Mattern 2018; Kouki/Makrygianni
2022). Leaning on the
works of Sollfrank (2018), Russell (2020), Steele (2021), and
D’Ignazio/Klein
(2020) (among others) occurring digital, cyber-, and glitch
feminisms represent
diverse techno-affine and interdisciplinary practices,
counter-strategies to
oppressions as well as political standpoints which celebrate
creative ways to
“live, here and now” (Carraro 2023: 6). Centering digital joy,
community-building, and survival strategies, these approaches
of refusing the
computational city constitute a new relational geography of
transformation and
prefiguration among urban denizens. Here, refusal has shown to
be a crucial
practice that does not simply reject technology. Instead, “it
asks for
multiplicity, difference, and co-existence, rather than fixed
systems of logic
that organise and tie socio-political lives to undeclared
algorithmic biases
and colonial histories” (transmediale 2021). Refusing,
therefore, embodies a
critical engagement with how we know (about technology)
(Tuck/Wayne 2014;
Simpson 2007). It demands collective responsibility and
negotiations of
otherwise politics in an increasingly unequal smart society.</span></p>
