We will explore ways of making use of the internet to connect communities, to create international events that are inclusive, diverse and promote cultural exchange. This discussion will be against the backdrop of ecological breakdown, while looking to take on the challenge of making new spaces for cultural exchange. It will close with an international performance from members of the live coding community in Argentina, Brasil, Indonesia and more. *Speakers* - *Marta Dillon* <https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marta_Dillon>, co-founder of Ni Una Menos <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni_una_menos> (not one woman less) speaking on the influential *Ni Una Menos* fourth-wave feminist movement and protest group, including its origins in Argentina, and use of the internet in its spread across the world. - *Julian Oliver* <https://julianoliver.com/>, independent artist and critical engineer talking about his experience building the server infrastructure for Extinction Rebellion. *Previously: Server Infrastructure for Global Rebellion <https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-11008-server_infrastructure_for_global_rebellion>, 36th CCC, 2019* - *Richard Parncutt* <http://www.parncutt.org/>, University of Graz discussing how to change academic culture in response to climate emergency, from his experience co-ordinating a low-carbon, multi-hub international conference (ICMPC 2018), as well as his plans to produce a global choral festival. *Previously: Low-carbon, multi-hub global conferencing: Balancing the real and the virtual <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VAqjUqZL0k>, Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change, 2018* In the days following the event, an online forum will open <https://forum.toplap.org/t/algomech-panel-on-distributed-culture-29th-february-2020/1094> to explore themes and outcomes from the panel, in terms of designing future online events.
