Next day delivery, 24/7 access, rapid response, constant connection: the accelerated and uninterrupted temporality that techno-capitalism enables has become insidious, embedding itself in every aspect of our lives. It is a timescale that is profit-driven, extractive, and has come to feel inevitable. By design, we adapt and shift to this accelerated time -- often because our economic survival depends on it. As we do so, we mute parts of ourselves, our communities, and our collective ecologies that are slower. This panel examines how artists and researchers are pushing against these accelerated temporalities that silicon valley technology has created by experimenting with regenerative, biological, communal or geologic timescales. What happens when we zoom out far enough to see the designed structures that have been woven into our lives, and use them as an impetus for creating alternatives? What emerges when we center the felt realities of our lives as the basis for technology, rather than accepting imposed techno-structures? While dominant tech culture privileges novelty and convenience at any cost, these panelists explore what happens when we slow down, go dark, and align digital practice with cycles of irregularity, biological need, care, or restoration. Artist panelists will present four case studies: a site specific solar-powered server that articulates new perspectives on technological rhythms; a parent-interrupt bot that prioritizes familial time over productivity; a multimedia installation that creates a view into the tech driven deep sea mining industry that directly interrupts ancient geologic cycles; and a digital card game offering ritual respite to caregivers, played over an extended four-week timeframe. Through these projects and the grounded research practices that inform them, panelists demonstrate how embracing technological "instability" becomes a creative force for envisioning more sustainable and caring futures.
