 **Abstract**
-  * Starting from the collaborative work of the artist Vladan Joler and the researcher Kate Crawford, we investigate the techno-politics of AI long various points in the chain of production, use and disposal. We use the framework of "extractivism" to investigate the conditions and consequences of mining, labour, data, and e-waste. We use both academic research and artistic practice to collaboratively investigate and reflect on the aesthetics of engaging with such planetary processes.
