During this Grounding Practice session, the group will discuss key political questions of embodiment and disembodiment in relation to digital expression and communication. Flatness values this critical cultural moment following the social justice uprisings during the pandemic when we are stepping out from behind our screens and demanding the safe circulation of our fantasies honed there, asking: what spaces beyond social media nourish these practices free from these platforms’ sidelines in hate and extraction?
This workshop will appeal to those with an active interest in achieving in social justice and alternative forms of encountering art online to the main social media channels and institutional platforms.
This Grounding Practice workshop has been programmed in conjunction Amplify Digital Arts Initiative (DAI) 2022, an online residency programme bringing together an international network of female-identifying and non-binary artists and professionals working within the fields of digital arts and electronic music, produced in partnership with British Council, MUTEK, Oi Futuro and Artlab.
The session is made available free of charge for Amplify DAI artists as part of their residency programme activity, with a limited number of additional tickets available for purchase by female-identifying and non-binary artists and professionals outside of the residency cohort.
