I'm originally from till, um and based in rather than in their land.

First, I would like to let you know a little bit about my background.

I was born in Chile, and in 2012 I moved to the UK to study at the University of Bristol and now the living brother.

Them where I'm a post graduate student in literary studies.

The topics off my research, our humanness literature, altered states of mind and the cyber space.

Ah, I needed money to afford this kind off l a test education.

So that's why I have been working since I was very young to get all sorts off gigs on scholarships.

And I've always been around technology and around the Internet.

I started us ah, Web developer in Santiago and then US project manager and in several advocacy organizations off digital rights in Teela and in Brazil.

After that, I joined the rights of collective.

Ihsaa a place where we provide secure communication channels such as encrypted email, encrypted file sharing, and were mostly oriented to activists all over the world.

But I think that after all these years, have learned a thing or two about the Internet.

And at some point I became progressively more interested in its artistic literary possibilities and about how the Internet can become source for post humanist thinking rather than this worrying completely surveilled of space that we feel the Web is today.

Eso In 2018 I joined the Mozilla Foundation as an open Web fellow to study non Western, non conforming approaches to the digital technologies.

And from that experience emerge this the digital Witchcraft project, which right now it's, ah organization registered in the Netherlands under the name off the Digital Witchcraft Institute.

And while I'm extremely happy to be here with y'all 2% this experience off magic and technology, I'm super grateful that you invited me to this beautiful, beautiful place.

And I know this might not be the usual kind of topic you see in this tech conferences, especially because my output symbol, old techniques from humanities and social sciences, Um, such as interviews, fieldwork, critical discourse, analysis.

So I would like to invite you to look at this presentation with an artistically trillions ah, rather than something that's coming strictly from the realm of computer science.

Um, well, digital witchcraft was one year it iss.

I want it started as a one year artistic research project with a strong connection to activism and notions off nontraditional Sze moats off thinking and everything started with this quote by Peter Slowed I hate is a very famous theorist on aesthetics.

Ah, this means that every technological advance started Assan idea that seemed like magic in the first place, like something supernatural on DDE.

I feel this kind of easy to confirm this premise for our generation, since we have experienced advanced in relation to digital technologies in a very fast way.

Ah, for example, picture your 10 year old self at speaking to Siri every morning to ask about the weather.

That's what I do almost every morning after living the K, you became kind, kind, obsessed with the weather.

So every morning I'm like Hey, Sarah, what's the weather today?

And Syria replies, and I take my decisions for the day.

According to Serious censor, My younger self will have freaked out, seeing that kind of thing, witnessing that kind of sorcery, and I took this quote.

Magic is the mother of tonality very seriously thought a lot about it and started to realize that the supernatural and the mystical references are all over digital technologies.

It's just such as magical references in software releases.

The other day someone told me that they're selling X distribution.

Source of, ah, also a ritualistic software exchange.

There's their stuff like that all over digital technologies.

So with their support off the Muscle Foundation, I traveled the world to see examples off this magic and technology intersection and to see if those cases could tell us new insights for the technologies off the future.

Also, that's the address off my for you did a witchcraft that works.

So for this presentation, I selected the following cases.

Ah, this one was my first exploration to this topic.

It's about hackers and chairman since you see in this light.

Ah, this was that comparative analysis between the figure off the hacker and the shaman, and they started to main text the book Shamanism by a Musalia.

He's one of the most famous colors on religious studies and coding freedom that sounded geography.

Young hacker communities rhythm By Bella Coleman.

Through the study, I found several similarities between the two groups, to name a few.

It was something that I I always I found very.

It was very incoherent between the two communities that had the shamans and the hackers.

The first, um, paragraph is, um is that description long?

They believe that and you need to confront to death in order to came back stronger and with the answers you were looking for.

And after that is the paragraph of Hacker describing our listeners installation, confrontation to death.

He cause a larval stage of hacking and describe.

So the issues like how the he neglects activities such as food, sleep, personal hat, personal hygiene, E um, and it felt very near death experience in order to return with the knowledge you were aspiring to.

Um And this thing is a video idea that presented this on Hope conference in New York City.

And this is kind of a lab of fashion, manic ritual.

The rituals are very important to both communities.

Look, this weekend, you can picture yourselves work.

We have computers, some sort of champions movie.

I always feel like the sound of the drum and some of the typing in our words, right kind of experience.

Well, this is one of the most, but I also have all their case.

Um, this, for example, is something I always highlight.

It's about, um, a research trip I did at Havana, Cuba.

Embargo, among other reasons, the access to internet is very slow and very limited.

So the government and many autonomous providers build WiFi networks in selected spots off the city so people can connect.

And I was able to connect the situation with the Centauri.

Our practices in Santa Maria, this religion they have in core AFIS cation is at the center.

It's a syncretic religion because it has to disguise.

Ah drew our beliefs with Christian imaginary, and I realized that over goo eyes in us on a connected nation, they're very resourceful, and their computer scientists have been able to circumvent all the political limitations to gun activity.

Just like Santa Iria in the picture, there's a women at midnight in Havana connected to a street network.

Um, that's a weird thing to say in Latin America.

You can not go to the squared we at midnight with your cell phone.

And you see, like this small rituals at night with all this blue hues in people's faces.
