The phrase "rewilding tech" (as in making tech "wild" again, not as in tech for rewilding other things like people/culture/animals) has been stuck in my head for 24h, which probably means it means something
What does it evoke for you? Visceral imagery/examples, not other ideas

For me, the image is Wall-E and junkyards. But not Mad Max. Not centering post-apocalyptic human heroes. Wabi-sabi something something. Post-human self-sustaining tech garden-of-eden ecosystems with non-anthropocentric dynamics taking root. Of course the movie went another way.

Rewilding is interestingly close to rewinding. Without active imagination input rewilding ends up being a kind of boring reactionary primitivism. The trick is to do rewilding as a fast forward rather than a rewind.

A few things making tech less wild: 1) secular shift from tools to entertainment, exemplified by Apple; 2) the incumbent complexity of enterprise, which = lock-in --the first constrains the makers, the second distribution.

what rewilds tech: tools to empower makers (e.g. , low code ), and tools/methods that save us from the addictive entertainments that prevent making. paradox of tech is that it creates the forces (sleek distraction, viscous complexity) slowing it down.
