So thrilled about Rest Assured, our restful reading group with Sonic Acts. Image Description in our reply 💜.

Last day to sign up for Rest Assured, our reading group on non-normative ways of experiencing, theorising, materialising, subverting and being in time 🔄🔮: sonicacts.homerun.co/rest-assured/en hosted by Sonic Acts.

Honored to release together with Eylul Iscen the first counter-n articles, counter-n.net > insurgent computing @Engelhardt_dcc, unstable computing MELT, decolonial computing @stefaniewu, weird futuring Bahar Noorizadeh and counter futuring Justin Parks.

Happy to share this new MELT newsletter. Please join to keep up-to-date with @lorenslug and my work - some exciting workshops are upcoming :).

Join us for the Sonic Acts biennial opening tomorrow eve at W139 in Amsterdam ~ we are showing a meditation for Trans* and disabled futures 🔮. Link to the exhibition: sonicacts.com/biennial/bienn….

Our work PRESENCE-PAST PRESENCE-PRESENT PRESENCE-FUTURE connects online visitors and visitors at Sonic Acts exhibition. Join via overexposed.sonicacts.com/neveroddoreven… 💜. [The video shows the words "grounding without the certainty of meeting grounds" as they appear on the website.]

Every person's presence on the website unravels a paragraph from the meditation for everyone who is online at the same time. Shapeshifting blobs indicate presences in various colors. These colors simultaneously light up a lamp in the exhibition at W139.
