[OPEN CALL] Love in the Times of Surveillance Capitalism ❤️‍🩹

Many aspects of everyday life now pass through algorithmic infrastructures: mapping services, archives, apps, datasets, and platforms that continuously record and process information. While these systems are designed for data extraction and analysis, they sometimes unintentionally capture moments of our relationships.

This open call invites small traces of affection, care, grief, or memory that have become embedded in digital systems.

Send your tender moments, stories, fragments, screenshots, poems or images from the edge of the machine documenting moments where human relationships become entangled with algorithmic infrastructures. From apps and datasets to archives, platforms, or automated imagery.

The collected materials will be assembled into a collectively authored zine.

Deadline: 1 May 2026
