    60th anniversary

    Conscious PauseStandstill as Protest

    Those who speak of standstill must address time. In a physical world, defined by time and matter, standing still is a subjective phenomenon: We are overcome by spiritual, physical, or aesthetic experiences that make us stop and stand still, beyond time and space. As an act of will, a standstill becomes a form of resistance, protest — against the power of time, against the world’s rulers, and against the universal exploitation of people and nature.

Preserving Culture
How Colonialism Causes Language Endangerment

There are thousands of languages all over the world. But the existence of many is threatened with dwindling numbers of active speakers. How do factors such as colonialism contribute to language endangerment in Africa and elsewhere, even today?

Bias and Error
When AI is biased

Over the past decade, we have come to spend much of our lives in the digital sphere – a sphere that is increasingly controlled by just a handful of corporations. These companies, unavoidable for most, exert a considerable amount of control over what we can see and say, as well as the types of tools available to us.
