Si16

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?
