Participate in TECH TECH TECH: ethical alternatives to digital giants

Ada X is launching TECH TECH TECH : ethical alternatives to tech giants. With researchers Liane Décary-Chen and Sarah Choukah, and Ada X team members, we’re getting started with a series of trials, errors, and (hopefully) discoveries.

TECH TECH TECH exists because we want to use feminist digital tools and platforms. But it’s hard to do : most of us don’t have the time or resources to quit Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and the conveniences they provide.

Our goal is to get started and help others do the same. We’re looking for self-determination, respect, and sustainability. We know there are a lot of artist-run centres, arts non-profits, and community arts groups that want this too. Are you one of them?
