FEMINISM DIGITAL ART ACTIVISM DISCONNECT
🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

dgtl fmnsm #disconnect

• The approach of the collective lab #disconnect puts all its hope into getting closer to a future that is in desperate need of being turned from DYSTOPIA into UTOPIA.

• The fog doesn’t fade away anymore, the question about “What’s next” causes goose bumps. With the endless closeness and the inevitable intimacy caused by the internet and its devices, we were overwhelmed by the dystopic dream. More and more people shut off their phones and go off-line.



dgtl fmnsm deals with the emancipatory opportunities offered by technology and feminism. We are an interdisciplinary festival featuring performances, videos, the visual arts, room-sized installations, discourse and workshops – online and IRL. We cooperate with clubs and independent queer feminist groups and artists.

dgtl fmnsm is a feature request for more radical thinking on the routine involvement of digital technologies in a culture currently dominated by the media. The look and theory of dgtl fmnsm’s entertaining art interventions involve participants using their bodies as a meaningful form of expression in a world that is changing course in the light of digital technologies, online culture and political necessity.

WHAT WE CAN DO ONLINE : Dgtl fmnsm Workshop: feminist digital strategies

→ More Info



Collaborative Workshop LAB on feminist digital strategies between art and activism, within the framework of Dgtl fmnsm Labor #disconnect

Inhalt / Content

Was verstehen wir unter digital feminism?
Welche Arten von Versammlungen werden online ermöglicht oder erschwert?
Welche Möglichkeiten sind noch nicht ausgeschöpft?
Welche Kämpfe brauchen mehr Unterstützer*innen?
Wie lassen sich Verbindungen stärken? Und wie werden wir auf Potentialitäten und Lücken aufmerksam? Wie bleiben wir unabhängig und dennoch sichtbar?

Im Workshop-Labor möchten wir uns zusammen eine Übersicht zu digitalen, feministischen Strategien verschaffen und so an einem erweiterbaren Archiv arbeiten, auf das wir alle zugreifen können. Im direkten Austausch teilen und diskutieren wir unterschiedliche Positionen, Texte, Medien. Wir suchen nach Möglichkeiten einer gemeinsamen Vernetzung, die vielleicht auch das Prinzip Vernetzung selbst hinterfragt. Wie können wir Gruppen und Ansätze aus Kunst, Pop, Aktivismus und Wissenschaft verbinden und zusammen kämpferisch sein?

Den zweiten Teil des Workshops übernehmen unsere Kompliz*innen online. An verschiedenen digitalen Stationen werden aktivistische und künstlerische Ansätze vorgestellt und in gemeinsamen Übungen und Kurzworkshops partizipierbar.

Unfit MakeUp
w/ Toni Mosebach


→ Read More

Unfit MakeUp ist ein performatives Workshopformat mit beautybloggers1&2, in dem wir zeigen, wie man sich mit herkömmlicher Kosmetik, und der ihr verschriebenen Anwendungslogik entgegen, „unfit“ schminkt. In dem Live Tutorial für dgtl fmnsm 2019 wird Beautyblogger 1 zeigen, wie man die Imperfektionen des irl Lebens mit alltäglichen Mitteln unterstützen kann. In dem Workshop Unfit MakeUp lernen wir die breiteren Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Kosmetika kennen, die die Kosmetikindustrie gerne verschweigt. Beautyblogger 1 so zu sich selber: “Hey, ich hab heute echt keinen Bock zu funktionieren, life nervt, ja, es geht mir nicht gut!“ Unfit MakeUp ist die Kosmetik des Widerstandes. Als Insider, wissen Beautyblogger 1 und Beautyblogger 2 genau was nicht geht, Schminken aber immer! Sehe unbedingt unperfekt aus. Jeder kann nicht schön sein!

Unfit MakeUp ist ein Konzept von Toni Mosebach und Nadja Buttendorf.

GLEAM #4
SCENE/✔SEEN?
Live-Online-Show

→ More Info

We are very much looking forward to our Live-Online-Show "SCENE/✔SEEN?" as part of our lab on the 23rd, curated by Shawné Michaelain Holloway, including works by Georges Jacotey (@georgesjacotey), Nicole Killian (@saucyunicorn), Samuel H Goldstein (@diy_cowbell), Jessie Darnell (@hotmiserablewife), X’ene Sky (@xenesky)

Follow our channel to see the show: https://t.me/dgtlfmnsm1

GLEAM presents its 4th programme, SCENE/✔SEEN?, LIVE & ONLINE, in collaboration with STRAPP, a design collaborative, lead by SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY, that reimagines sex toys for a queerer future.

Through a series of commissioned performances we invite a group of international artists to lead a small rendezvous in the Telegram App messaging channel SCENE/✔SEEN? held at the url :https://t.me/dgtlfmnsm1

From their own moments, in their own locations, they message with us amidst the immediacy of text, the ghosts of videos, and impressions of photos from the past. This hour invites us to convene quietly together to listen to the voices and stories of folks meditating on what it means to feel seen or “scene," to feel understood by others, to have their sent messages “seen” (read: received,) to be "read," to feel connected to those who are like us, or to not.

Anyone in the world is invited to join in the conversation, make sure you’re registered with username on the Telegram app! Then, go to the url https://t.me/dgtlfmnsm1 to join the channel. Those of you not on Telegram : see if you can find a friend or stranger who is. Ask to share headphones, ask to sit close, ask to watch together.

The uninterrupted content broadcast connects us all to the world wide web and the emotions that get caught there in its constantly flowing stream of data. SCENE/✔SEEN? is at once an archive, a film, a play, a movie, a chat room. GLEAM, as it has every year, will continue to interrogate the following : how do we connect with others who are far away? How do we feel their presence and intention through a space that always already distorts the transmission? Does a notification alert evoke yearning? What about warmth?

Samuel H Goldstein
Samuel H Goldstein (1992, USA) is a multimedia artist and art facilitator working in Chicago, IL. Known for creating the datamoshing application GoldMosh, co-founding the TCC Chicago art space, and playing drums in the band Izzy True.

Nicole Killian
Nicole Killian's work uses graphic design, publishing, video, objects and installation to investigate how the structures of the internet, mobile messaging, and shared online platforms affect contemporary interaction and shape cultural identity from a queer perspective. They are interested in the repetition, looping, and dissemination of content. They think about catnip and bird toys, scratching and the depths (or voids) of the desktop folder. Nicole is currently the co-director of the Design, Visual Communications MFA and Assistant Professor in the Department of Graphic Design at Virginia Commonwealth University and recently served as guest editor for the Walker Art Center's Soundboard and organized How Will We Queer Design Education without Compromise?

Jessie Darnell
Jessie Darnell is a 2D and 3D video/media/collage artist currently residing in Berlin, Germany. She has a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work explores themes of sexual submission, power dynamics, self-destruction, and performative roles for a camera.

Georges Jacotey
GEORGES JACOTEY (b. 1987) is a greek artist who works with performance and digital media. They are currently invested in issues of queer representation and resistance, the divide between cultural hegemonies and subcultures, western history and privilege, and the headache of keeping up under constant crisis. Their work has been recently shown at 3hd Festival (Berlin), Manifesta 11 (Zürich), Interrupted =" Cyfem and Queer (Berlin), Scottish Queer International Film Festival (Glasgow) and dgtl-fmnsm Festival (Hellerau-Dresden), among other places.

X’ene Sky
X’ene Sky is a pianist/singer/writer/little slave girl making art about her various lovers and loving. Based in Houston/Los Angeles.

***

The live online show GLEAM brings together international performers who create media-focused works and reflect queer modernity. The setting for the online show opens up a shared space for reception. Here, experiences which are normally separate and belong to the private sphere of our everyday digital lives are turned into an analogue shared experience that transforms digital communities into analogue space, simultaneously exploring and highlighting both sides. This temporary community clicks through current and future stances taken by feminist Internet art, examining how they overlap to explore the limits of digital and physical presence. The performers from the dgtl fmnsm network take part in the event via live link-ups; the performance takes place in their chosen location, often in their private rooms or studios. When is a performance at a theatre a performance, and do the performers have to be physically present?

Loren Britton & Isabel Paehr
Making Trans*lucent:
En/Countering Categorization
21:00

In this performative lecture we will explore how our embodiments can melt categories, matters, and en/counter algorithmic and other classifications. Through melting, making trans*lucent and sharing we aim to warmly critique current modes of governance. Exploring the political dimension of classification as it interacts with trans*gender and GNC bodies, our contribution will uphold artists, designers and coders working on computational objects, games and methodologies that make power relations leaky and categories permeable. We will look at leaking and permeability, not opposed to, but as core practices embedded into computation, and play with distributed agencies and actants within the room. Remembering that tech is embedded and embodied our presentation will turn towards the material discursive entanglements that are shyed away from in popular representations of tech as disembodied, and focus our attention towards those already performing the otherwise.

Loren Briton is an interdisciplinary artist, thinker and curator based in-between Berlin, DE and New York City, US. They are concerned with on/offline, trans*gender people, class, how to communicate and intersectional trans*feminism. They investigate things by reading, holding, playing, and translating to cross, disciplinary and class borders. Further info about their work can be found at: lorenbritton.com.

Isabel Paehr is involved in the production and arrangement of virtual matter. She develops experimental games and material speculations, performs, writes and codes in collaborative working groups. Paehr is 1/2 of the Berlin based game studio Topicbird.More info: isabelpaehr.com/projects/

In their collaborative practice, Loren and Isabel research melting and tech infrastructures through material experiments.

(Live Music Concert) @dgtl fmnsm

→ More Info


photo by George Nebieridze

American singer, composer-producer, and performer, Lyra Pramuk's work is far-arcing by necessity, accomplishing a remarkably broad practice with a brevity of movement.

Pramuk's starting point is listening, an empathic response to the contemporary cultural landscape. This likewise tethers her between various projects and forms. Citing musical collaborators such as Holly Herndon and Colin Self, collaborations with the visual artist Donna Huanca, and an ongoing international performance schedule, there are a variety of creative nodes that come to feed back into Pramuk's practice. These experiences are directly transposed into possibilities for the voice, affording a vocal space that is one of texture as much as lingual clarity. The impulse for adaptation embedded in Pramuk's body of work is revealed here, too, lending some perspective to the movement between club spaces and concert halls, channeling sensuous, personal experience into critical ideas for community.

shawné michaelain holloway

In her works, the dgtl fmnsm curator-in-residence shawné michaelain holloway examines the correlation between identities and social networks. To achieve this, her interdisciplinary work with sounds, visual material and performances makes use of the freedom of the Internet from various perspectives, while at the same time subjecting it to critical examination. Through her pieces on the subjects of gender, control, identity and sexuality, she studies aspects of her own self-depiction and the way others perceive it. Attracted by all kinds of online scenes, she makes the most of the fact that she can digitally change personas and independently defines herself as who she wants to be, even in the face of her own moral conflicts – alternating between fiction, her real, socially shaped body and learned dogmas. Back at the first dgtl fmnsm festival, shawné michaelain holloway developed the concept for the live online show GLEAM, which will be on the programme again this year.

In addition to her arrangement as artist-in-residence for the Center for Afrofuturist Studies in Iowa, she has also already presented her works in New York, Paris, Helsinki and London.

Trancing Wake / Interaktive Installation

The idea of disconnecting into a between state became the impetus for the immersive installation “Trancing Wake” by Omsk Social Club for this year's digital feminism. Looking at the behavioural states users take on under technology that often allow themselves to leave their physical bodies for the screen. In these moments the wet-ware heats up, a term used in Buddhism indicating the brain as does the hardware of the computer but the body stays still, cold, stiff, in a trance. We often drop into technology in a meditative state, like a psychonaut developing subtle models of ourselves for better or worse these sense of selves are only localised in our minds a type of spiritual vandalism on the body in order to reach the next level of the technological soul. “Trancing Wake” encapsulates this inbetween state, the moment of not quite leaving the body nor the screen, it mimics a dreamlike landscape that the user can morph to its own technological and physical needs.

Live Tutorial: Unfit MakeUp

18:00

Unfit MakeUp ist ein performatives Workshopformat mit beautybloggers1&2, in dem wir zeigen, wie man sich mit herkömmlicher Kosmetik, und der ihr verschriebenen Anwendungslogik entgegen, „unfit“ schminkt. In dem Live Tutorial für dgtl fmnsm 2019 wird Beautyblogger 1 zeigen, wie man die Imperfektionen des irl Lebens mit alltäglichen Mitteln unterstützen kann. In dem Workshop Unfit MakeUp lernen wir die breiteren Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Kosmetika kennen, die die Kosmetikindustrie gerne verschweigt. Beautyblogger 1 so zu sich selber: “Hey, ich hab heute echt keinen Bock zu funktionieren, life nervt, ja, es geht mir nicht gut!“ Unfit MakeUp ist die Kosmetik des Widerstandes. Als Insider, wissen Beautyblogger 1 und Beautyblogger 2 genau was nicht geht, Schminken aber immer! Sehe unbedingt unperfekt aus. Jeder kann nicht schön sein!

Unfit MakeUp ist ein Konzept von Toni Mosebach und Nadja Buttendorf.

shawné michaelain holloway

In her works, the dgtl fmnsm curator-in-residence shawné michaelain holloway examines the correlation between identities and social networks. To achieve this, her interdisciplinary work with sounds, visual material and performances makes use of the freedom of the Internet from various perspectives, while at the same time subjecting it to critical examination. Through her pieces on the subjects of gender, control, identity and sexuality, she studies aspects of her own self-depiction and the way others perceive it. Attracted by all kinds of online scenes, she makes the most of the fact that she can digitally change personas and independently defines herself as who she wants to be, even in the face of her own moral conflicts – alternating between fiction, her real, socially shaped body and learned dogmas. Back at the first dgtl fmnsm festival, shawné michaelain holloway developed the concept for the live online show GLEAM, which will be on the programme again this year.

In addition to her arrangement as artist-in-residence for the Center for Afrofuturist Studies in Iowa, she has also already presented her works in New York, Paris, Helsinki and London.
