- Once again pmc is a nascent concept and community of practice
-- there are many issues we're trying to figure out and reflect
-- we frame pmc aesthetics from the POV of post-digital
-- But accelerating entanglement with problematic systems as opposed to truly provide an alternative
-- but bigger issue - is pmc is truly transitional or transformative
-- or if its existence is just symptomatic
-- that cannot be decoupled from questions of classes and priv
-- might feel affiliated to gambiarra and mutirão
+- there are many issues that some of us in this community are currently trying to figure out and reflect upon
+- for instance while we are able to frame positively pmc aesthetics from the POV of post-digital aesthetics
+- we are also aware that this is potentially accelerating a form of entanglement with problematic systems as opposed to truly provide an alternative
+- said differently the richness of combining old and new media and ways of working can also create an obfuscation over the increasing dependencies such ways of working have on the very neophilia we are trying to adress with pmc

+# CONCLUSION
+
+???
+- but an even bigger issue is wether or not pmc is a truly transitional and transformative practice
+- or if its existence is just symptomatic decadence of living in the western ruins of capitalism
+- making art and creative works, regardless if rooted in professional environment, within folk art, or the history of crafts
+- remains an activity that cannot be decoupled from questions of classes and privileges
+- so while pmc aesthetics and the lifestyle it aims to encourage may feel affiliated to grassroot DIY activism or for instance Brazilian cultural practices such as gambiarra and mutirão

+# CONCLUSION
+
+???
- it is nothing like that, on the contrary
-- no excuse to embrace extractivism
-- but it means that pmc is walking on thin ice
+- in the global north an alternative lifestyle and practice, let alone the possibility to remove yourself temporarily from productivist, extractive and exploitative systems is a sign of privilege and remains innaccessible for the vast majority
+- there is therefore a danger that pmc aesthetics remains just that, formal aesthetics heavily relying on style appropriation of pratices for which the urgency and its constraints are life imperatives and not a creative choice
+

+class: inverted, middle, center
+# CONCLUSION?
+
+???
+- that should not be understood as an excuse to embrace extractivism and wasteful practices, absolutely not
+- but it means that pmc is walking on thin ice and needs a lot of work on understanding its situadness to avoid a... situation where it ends up as a mere hobby for the most privileged (like a lot of low-tech practices)
- or ends up becoming a romanticisation and aesthetisation of poverty
- we're trying to figure it out, it's complicated
