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
