Digital Care: Performing the (Feminist) Internet
A dialogue between early net art and contemporary practices
Wednesday, 17 January, 2024
LI-MA, LAB111 (LAB1), Arie Biemondstraat 111, 1054 PD Amsterdam
Doors 19.15 // Program begins 19.30
Entry: €7.50 (regular) / €5,- (student)

The evening centers around a dialogue between early net art and contemporary practices, with Annie Abrahams, Debra Solomon, Janilda Bartolomeu and Joana Chicau.

What does it mean to be human in a technological society? And how does our communication change depending on the digital infrastructure we use to talk to each other?

Together with Debra Solomon, Annie Abrahams, Joana Chicau and Janilda Bartolomeu, we will explore the technological landscape of the past, and the questions raised back then. We also look ahead to explore how those works are experienced several decades later, and how artists of today keep on working in this lineage. How do we communicate, dance, live and die online? 

I will read from my book Being Human . an anthology, now also available online through NAi booksellers. The book will stay on display in the exhibition REBOOT at the New Institute in Rotterdam until May 12.
