Gender equality is a central human aspect of the Sustainable Development Goals. Among its multiple and complex issues, this research highlights gender-based violence as a domain that affects women’s empowerment and the guarantees of an effective equality on numerous levels. To address such a complex structure, which perpetuates inequalities between men and women, generating multiple effects and jeopardising social changes, social design can provide contributions on cultural and social levels. To achieve social systemic changes, one needs to activate profound cultural transformations. Thus, how can we change culture without rejecting the need to empower women and promote equality? The Montréal Design Declaration (2017) recognised social design’s potential to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), to contribute to global challenges, and to accept a calling for stakeholders’ integration and agency promotion. This review explores how social design can provide contributions with regard to SDG5 and gender-based violence, presenting relevant domains that actively contribute to cultural transformation to address interventions in this systemic phenomenon.

“…This is both the result of and reinforcement of the invisibility of care work as naturalized reproductive labor (Duffy, 2007). At the end of the day, those on the receiving end of care-whether in the classroom (Sidebottom, 2019), the clinic space, the courtroom, or the computer lab (Klumbyté et al, 2022)-adjudicate whether what they receive can be called "care" (Best, 2014). Further, as we navigate our posthuman present/future, when we think about care, we must think about the importance of extending it outward, extending from human to more than human matter, and thinking about the role that nonhuman things play in the care and how care works.…”

Care does not happen in a vacuum, including nursing care. With this in mind, we-Jess, Jane, Jamie, Brandon, and Eva 1 -partnered with critical posthuman scholars Goda Klumbytė from Kassel University in Germany and Dr. Kay Sidebottom from Stirling University in Scotland for a discussion of care. Goda's research straddles critical algorithm studies, systems design, and feminist theory, drawing together these critical perspectives with applied informatics. Kay focuses on Nursing Inquiry.

“…[21] At a time when it is increasingly difficult to articulate common causes [80], why do we need yet another term? From feminist hardware [91] to the issues of decolonising computing, [52] how do we put theory into practice in this increasingly complex semantic and discursive space? While there is enthusiasm for engaging with obsolete electronics, renewable energy and e-waste, what about our contribution to the waste of past and present ideas, concepts and initiatives?…”

Permacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Constraints in Computational Art, Design and Culture

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, permacomputing 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 work with self-imposed limits in a more privileged socioeconomic context.
