biography
Lukas Engelhardt (1991, Hamburg) is a graphic designer based in Amsterdam. He's interested in autonomous spaces and their dependencies, both online and offline, and the tactics, terms and conditions necessary to negotiate them. He breaks and fixes his own servers and is a member of the Amsterdam-based squatting collective Mokum Kraakt.
Surf Serf Serve
Why do we keep using software and hardware that is so at odds with our ethical values? Surf Serf Serve is an attempt to leave the cloud and to get back to the land. It's an attempt to find a way out of the walled gardens we so often still rely on as creative workers. When the surf-able internet evaporated into the cloud it left behind a salt lake desert... But enough with the spatial metaphors—let's focus on infrastructure! Surf Serf Serve consists of three servers, an antenna and a guided visualization that are spread throughout the building. They are developed in collaboration with different groups and individuals, as tools to maintain friendships and collaborations but also as ways to generate answers to our digital conundrum. Taking cues from the Feminist Server Manifesto, they are designed to be situated technologies—as sculptures, they tell encrypted stories of the communities that care enough about them to run them and question if things really always have to look the same. As computers, they replace Dropbox, Google, and the like. 192168285.xyz is Lukas's personal server, built and maintained together with his friend Paul Bille. SilverSurfer was built in collaboration with Ada Reinthal for Salwa Foundation and is maintained together with Leila Namer. Cloudia-o, built together with Tharim Cornelisse, will remain at the Sandberg Design Department after Lukas leaves, where Tharim will maintain it. The Guided Visualization was developed by Lukas and Paul with sound design by Emir Timur Tokdemir. The Wifi Sail is based on an open source design by Daniel Connell and works a bit like a dream catcher in that it collects the internet from the surrounding office buildings, ensuring that everyone can stay online for the duration of the show. Follow the Ethernet to find them all.
