-- pmc in brief
-- make the link with permaculture briefly (note: see how ugrnm phrased it in the wiki to defuse extractivist argument and avoid turning the paper into a why-permaculture paper)
-- something we hope to be transformative
-- something that offers a perspective at the intersection of computers and aesthetics
-- briefly discuss the unsustainability of today's computing
+- permacomputing is a relatively new concept and community of practice inspired by permaculture
+- permaculture is essentially an approach to land management and construction of human communities that adopts natural ecosystems
+- by making a connection between computer tech and permaculture, what we are truly asking is whether or not there can be a place for computer and network technology in a world where humans contribute to the well-being of the biosphere rather than destroy it? And if yes, how?
+- at the moment permacomputing is both a set of design principles and a way to make cultural works in a more sustainable way

- why talk about aesthetics in this context
-- define aesthetics for this article's purposes (especially what our scope is)
-- because this is about looking at things
-- relates to the position of immanent critique
-- we are implicated in the objects we criticize... by using technology
+- well we thought that given the context of this presentation at en event related to creative coding it would be a good opportunity to talk about aesthetics
+- but also from the pov of how we look at things
+- and how to deal with the fact that we are implicated in the objects we criticize

# THE GOAL
???
-(SAY THIS WITH A SPLIT-CONTRAST IMAGE FROM SOMETHING...)
-- pmc proposal: to apply an aesthetic as a way to manifest political ideas and turn platonic concepts into reality - reifing etc.
-- pmc aims therefore to be a materialisation of real, recognizable, useful form of degrowth and other concepts orthogonal to capitalistic growth and market organization.
+- ultimately we would like permacomputing to be a materialisation of real, recognizable, useful form of degrowth and other concepts orthogonal to capitalistic growth and market organization.
- a countervoice to digital aesthetics that promote maximisation
-- for instance high bandwidth, high-res, more computational power at any cost, for anything

# CAVEATS AND SCOPE
+
???
-- situate ourselves - accept and acknowledge that our perspective is partial (Haraway)
-- both bothered and aware of the narrow cultural basis of those who get to define the aesthetics ("white western affluent male")
-- we can't escape this reflect on the privileged and biased perspective of 'white western heterosexual male', i.e. persona usually associated with concepts like 'computer aesthetics'
+- of course our perspective is partial and biased
+- both bothered and aware of the narrow cultural basis of those who get to define the aesthetics
+- and the perspective of the 'white western heterosexual male'
+- we will loop back to this later
