when datasets are scaled up to the volume of (partial) internet, together with the idea that scale will average out the noise, large dataset builders came up with a human-not-in-the-loop, cheaper-than-cheap-labor method to clean the datasets: heuristic filtering. Heuristics in this context are basically a set of rules came up by the engineers with their imagination and estimation to work best for their perspective of “cleaning”. Most datasets use heuristics adopted from existing ones, then add some extra filtering rules for specific characteristics of the datasets. I would like to invite you to have a taste together of these silent, anonymous yet upheld estimations and not-guaranteed rationalities in current sociotechnical artifacts, and on for whom these estimations are good-enough, as it will soon be part our technological infrastructures.

Auch in der Schweizer Netzpolitik ging es im auslaufenden Jahr drunter und drüber. Wir blicken mit gewohntem Schalk auf das netzpolitische Jahr 2025 zwischen Bodensee und Matterhorn zurück - und diskutieren jene Themen, die relevant waren und relevant bleiben.

Hegemony Eroding is an ongoing art project exploring how generative AI reflects and distorts cultural representation. Its name speaks to its core ambition: to bear witness to the slow erosion of Western cultural hegemony by exposing the cracks in which other cultures shine through. This talk will discuss the blurry boundary between legitimate cultural representation and prejudice in AI-generated media and how generative AI can be used as a tool to explore humanity's digital foot print. It is permeated by a critique of purely profit-driven AI development and it's tendency to blunt artistic exploration and expression.

The Spectrum is a newly founded queer-feminist, intersectional hackspace centering FLINTA+, disabled, and marginalized beings. We see hacking as playful exploration—of technology, art, and ideas—to reimagine what inclusion and collaboration can be. At 39C3, we share how awareness, accessibility, and transdisciplinary creation can transform community and hack the norm.

Rob StrobE
THE SECOND DECADE Born `78 in Germany Rob StrobE grew up and being influenced with classical music, swing and jazz in his childhood. He early discovered the likes of Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, Kraftwerk and more early electronic music approaches. In his late youth/early adult life he frequently travelled to Frankfurt attending nights at the Omen. Those nights and weekends were filled with DJs like Sven Vaeth, Dj Rush, Chris Liebing, G-Man aka Gez Varley, Hardfloor and so many more, celebrating and transporting the spirit of those days! After the closing of the Omen in late 1998 he went on to clubs like u60311, Tanzhaus West, MTW and others and eventually started his career as professional (sound) technician and light jockey. Around the year 2002 he started music production - mostly for personal fun and recreational purposes - but some records and remixes have been released since then...some of this older work can still be found on his Soundcloud! Since then he developed his own company specialized on music studio technology, room acoustic, signal flow schemes and studio furniture. Meanwhile his own studio transformed from a small Home Studio to a „room-in-room“ environment in the Logic Haus - the former home of Harthouse, Eye-Q and Snap! If he had to describe his musical style and give it a name: it would be „DubHouseTechno with a pinch of Detroit" ;) FastFoward: Year 2021 - after a 7 year break of releasing music, Rob StrobE is back with releases on imprints like Lucidflow, ASrecords, Tantara, Motech and numerous others! Rob used the time to do a major swap from software based production over to the modular and hardware world and the output speaks for itself! Enjoy his music and come pass for a visit on his social media outlets and say „hello“! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! COLLABORATIONS with G-Man aka Gez Varley (Swim/Quo Vadis/UK) Bo_Irion (Conaisseur/FFM) APro (Audio Emissions/FFM) Voodoe (Audio Emissions/FFM) Frank Kusserow (Data Punk/WhiteNoise/FFM) Israel Toledo (ASRecords/Mexico)
Der feine Schliv
Zwischen Rap, Tanz und Poesie, erschließt Der feine Schliv neue Räume. In ihren Performances changiert sie zwischen provokanten Auf-die-Fresse-Ansagen an das Patriarchat und empathischen Erzählungen vom Versuchen und Scheitern. Sie tritt unter anderem mit dem serbischen Nachwuchs Duo “Slezga” sowie mit den Hamburger Gruppen “Fallbeil” und “Yummy Air”auf. An der Diverstität ihrer Begleitungen zeichnet sich ihr musikalisches Universum ab, von balladigen Conscious Raps, Chansons und Witchy Toasting.

Der verlängerte Atem pres. Ghost Processes Seit 2020 sendet Der verlängerte Atem regelmäßig auf HALLO:Radio und tourt mit Gastauftritten auf Festivals und Veranstaltungen in und um Hamburg. Als offenes Radiolabor zwischen Musik, Redebeiträgen und thematisch passenden Audio-Snippets, verweben die Vinyl-DJs, Künstlerinnen und Radiomacherinnen Fiona Grassl, Jil Lahr und Martin Ramacher analoge Klänge, Stimmen und Gedanken zu thematischen Sendungen. Für den 39C3 fährt Der Verlängerte Atem das System herunter - und wieder hoch. Und findet dazwischen: Prozesse ohne Besitzer, Threads ohne Aufgaben, Routinen, die längst beendet sein sollten und doch weiterlaufen. Geisterprozesse flüstern im Hintergrund, aktualisieren sich selbst, verlieren den Takt oder schlafen zu tief, um je zurückzukehren. Zwischen knisterndem Vinyl, digitalem Summen, Glitches und verspielten Redebeiträgen entstehen live Sound-Landschaften, in denen nichts ganz verschwindet - und alles wiederkehrt. Spooky.
