Post-automation: grassroots innovation in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
\nAdrian Smith\, Professor of Technology &\; Society\, Science Policy Research Unit\, University of Sussex UK
\nThe political and economic forces behind the Fo urth Industrial Revolution are generating a powerful new wave of technolog ical automation throughout our societies. A vision for the future is being realised that appears to leave little space for grassroots innovation. An d yet across a kaleidoscope of grassroots networks an industrious class of hackers\, citizen scientists\, makers\, activists and repairers are appro priating and subverting the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revoluti on. In place of automation’s foundations in capital accumulation\, manag erial control\, and labour productivity\, these grassroots innovators are cultivating more plural relations with technology\, rooted in human creati vity\, conviviality\, and care. In this presentation we’ll discuss some examples and consider whether and how this ‘post-automation’ capacity could help to democratise our technological futures.

Students from the University of Basel had the opportunity to visit Herzfeld Sennrüti\, a Swiss ecovillage counting around 90 members. The residents welcomed the group warmly for one and a half day to their ho me. Accompanied by ecovillage members\, students engaged in activities and open exchanges around the community and spirituality. Moreover\, they too k part in the action day of Herzfeld Sennrüti: alongside ecovillage membe rs students cooked\, laid wires\, prepared a bee pasture\, built a willow hedge and a sandbox or cleaned the bicycle shed. While working\, the co-wo rkers talked about daily life in the ecovillage and personal stories and i nsights were shared. Experiencing what they only knew from the classroom\, the students complemented and enriched their understanding of and perspec tive on ecovillages.
