              The Act of Building: New Infrastructure for Information Ecosystems Under Siege

              13:30 - 14:30 Monday 16th Mar 2026 / 60 min

              The infrastructure we have relied on for decades in the public interest media field - imperfect and unequal as it was - appears to be melting. What are we up against, what can we defend or reclaim, and what do we need to build that's new and better?

              Financial and distribution power is ever more concentrated in US platforms, and mediated through unaccountable algorithms and LLMs. Information ecosystems from the continental to the local are being targeted as part of information warfare. Information and knowledge institutions – including independent, local and public service media, and festivals – are under increasing pressure, from politics, from polarisation, from platforms and AI, from dissolving economics. Individuals and their works are being defunded and shadowbanned, algorithmically and physically. But many are fighting back and building new spaces – in this session we’ll explore three kinds of infrastructure essential to building a new, more resilient ecosystem: digital, financial and physical.

               

              Access to the CPH:DOX SUMMIT is exclusive to accredited guests, and advance ticket reservation is required.
