Inside the Luddite festival harnessing Gen Z’s rage against Big Tech
摘要
在纽约东村汤普金斯广场公园，数百人聚集观看名为“卢德派重现”的表演，该剧讲述了工业革命初期英国工匠和纺织工人抵制机器替代的历史。这是“卢德之夏”活动的开幕项目之一，该活动为期一周，包括离线约会、修补衣物、对抗数据中心等系列讲座和活动，旨在让人们放下手机、融入社区。
On a Sunday evening in the middle of Tompkins Square Park in New York City’s East Village, hundreds of people gather in front of a giant papier-mâché face of a woman wearing a crown. She’s the backdrop of a play, her body made up of curtains that look like a dress but serve a dual purpose, allowing actors to scurry on and offstage.
I’m here to watch a performance called “Luddite Recreations,” which is a history of the Luddite movement—a group of artisans and textile workers who resisted the adoption of machines during the early years of the Industrial Revolution in England and whose resistance to being displaced from their work was met with violence by the British monarchy.
It’s one of the opening events of the Summer of Ludd, a weeklong series of talks and activities like how to flirt and date offline, mending, and learning to fight against data centers, all focused on getting people off their phones and into community.
