Permacomputing is a nascent concept and a community of practice centred around design principles that embrace limits and constraints as a positive thing in computational culture, and on creativity with scarce computational resources. As a result, permacomput-ing aims to provide a countervoice to digital practices that promote maximisation, hyper-consumption and waste. It seeks to encourage practices as an applied critique of contemporary computer technology that privileges maximalist aesthetics where more pixels, more frame rate, more computation and more power equals more potential at any cost and without any consequences. We believe that such a critical practice can be relevant to artists, designers and cultural practitioners working with computer and network technology who are interested in engaging with environmental issues. This is particularly relevant given the tendency in art, design and cultural production to rely on tools and techniques designed to maximise productivity and mass consumption. In this paper, we argue for the potential of permacomputing as a rich framework for exploring creative design constraints building on a long history of applying constraints in art, design and cultural practices. Because of the need to reconfigure the modes of production and organisation within computational practices, this calls for a different understanding of aesthetics, one that goes beyond the formal evaluation of how things look, but addresses how aesthetics can also be systems of relations, sensing and making sense that are already present in the process of making. We will also discuss the challenges faced by permacomputing practitioners, such as the complicated link with retro-computing, post-digital culture and nostalgia, as well as the problem of constraints in relation to the aesthetisation of poverty, and more generally what it means to

Recent years have seen increasing interest in aligning interactive technology design and research with social justice values and practices, including those pertaining to environmental justice. These efforts can result in both innovative sociotechnical approaches to amplify environmental justice movements and resist injustices that may come about with the deployment of emerging technologies. Given the global nature of environmental injustice and the interconnectedness of their root causes and efforts to address them, it is important to understand the experiences and perspectives of activists from climate change-vulnerable Low and Middle-income Countries (LMICs). In this paper, we present findings from an interview study with five environmental justice activists in Bangladesh who share their motivations for activism, their views on the roots of injustice, the power dynamics in environmental justice activism, and their use of digital technologies for organizing, raising awareness, and coalition building. Our findings show the importance of genuine motivation and power analysis in this complex ecosystem and the potential of interactive technologies to support EJ activism.

In this position paper we ask what constitutes reasonable personal and collective responses to the predicaments we face as individuals, as societies and globally in the age of escalating sustainability crises. We in particular take our teaching about sustainability and computing as a starting point as well as an end point for a discussion about what happened when we started to focus also on our students’ emotional responses in the face of receiving troubling news about sustainability, about limits and about the future. Moreover, we also use this intervention as a point of entry to a discussion about how this changed not only our students, but also ourselves as teachers, as colleagues and as human beings.

We investigate a way to build a convivial plant identification tool halfway between the complex determination keys of botanists and the more recent but poorly explainable approaches based on AI image recognition. Our approach consists of a formal language to organize morphological traits and a Bayesian technique to describe plants with possible polymorphisms at all taxonomic levels, and to handle errors and uncertainties. From these structured data, automatic approaches can be designed to generate versatile determination keys , i.e. decision trees, which are otherwise tedious to design by hand.
