Personal reflection

In the SI16 I co-produced the project "...And I wish that your question has been answered". I also participated in the writing of the Manifesto of and the Terms of service of the publication. In the project I worked on the functions Respell, Stitch and Reveal, which are based on the Replace Python function. I was occupied by the urge to understand how the choice of specific words inside a text can shape our ideologies. In that sense I proposed to use the three functions on the political speeches of Mark Rutte and Kiriakos Mitsotakis, prime ministers of Netherlands and Greece, about the pushbacks on the EU borders. As a result, we came out with an interface where a user can interchange specific words of these 2 speeches with others words, characters or blankets in order to disrupt and question the meaning of the original texts.

conversation with Carmen and Erica

• the vernacular as encrypted languages between allies
• the audience should be the ordinary
• self experience is central
• what are the power relations inside the system we are addressing?

conversation and diagrams with Erica about forced poetics and empowerment

• you are an expert of what you experience
• the standarisation gatekeeps the vernacular
• the hegemonic gatekeeps the urge
• there is a barrier created by the correct, the beautiful, the tasty that blocks the urge
• and this barrier is created through power
• conflict between the content that needs to be expressed and the available language
• how to use a tool that you don't master?

#I am so happy that you are here tonight
#I am so happy that you came here to listen to me
#Thank you, thank you so much
#I would like to be bigger
#i don't know what to do with all this energy
#I am a small creature
#Trapped inseid
#What do you think?
#What do you think of me?
#They wanted to put my head into the ground
#They didn't want us! They don't want us!
#I can stay in the corner and observe
#I can stay I can open my ears and listen
#We have learnt to hide
#It's hard to not be recognised
#It's like you don't exist, but you exist hahaha
#You have a body
#I like to adapt A LOT that's what i do in life
#I just adapt my voice
#What ? What ? Whaat? What the fuck is this?
#STOP STOP STOOOOP
#i want to be regulated and filtered
#FILTER MEEEEE
#What do you do usually? Do you adapt? Do you resist? Do you fight?
#DO you fly? Do you stay??
#but did this even happen this way?
#Did she say this or i don't know
#I wanna go in the corner and suck my thumb
#do i need to be stronger?
#do i need to be oversized?
#do i need to stand out? maybe
#is that ok?
#i am sorry, don't leave me
#thank you i love you
#thank you that you came to listen to me
