Special Issue22🥀
⊹ Throughout Special Issue 22: Radio Worm: Protocols for an Active Archive, I had the opportunity to explore and participate in various forms of "publishing".
For instance, I gained insights into creating experimental radio shows within small groups. On October 10th, Alessia, Zuzu, and I broadcasted a radio show titled "Destroy the Protocool(酷)" at Worm. Additionally, I organized a ⊹Protocol Meditation⊹ online event, guiding participants on achieving peace of mind while contemplating the true essence of archives through therapeutic methods. Furthermore, we incorporated the sharing of a beautiful poem by Marissa Micah Schut titled My Body is an Archive into our program.
I've always interested in the relationships between body, soul and mind.
Also, themes like vulnerability, intimacy, sensation, connecting to the spiritual aspects. Durning SI 22, I identified that I am eager to explore cyberfeminism further in the near future in my practice.
⊹ For SI22 Signal Lost: Archive Unzipped, I created an artistic installation using recycled materials such as tape, wire, earphones, and vinyl records. The installation does not adhere to a specific design or shape; rather, it is loose and improvisatory, mirroring the chaotic nature of an apocalypse catching us unprepared. The predominant colors are black, grey, and neo-green/yellow, akin to the tones found on Worm’s website. Within the installation, the audience can peruse paper notes containing snippets of the narrative and take them away if they resonate. Additionally, a space is provided for visitors to leave messages by writing texts and placing them within the installation.
This installation is not following a particular design or shapes, it is loose and improvisatory, as the apocalypse found us, so not at all ready. It is made with recycling and second-hand materials (ex. tape, wire, earphones, DVD, microphone…etc.).There are different contents of notes on this hybrid creatures which related to apocalypse theme of the Special Issue 22. Audience could read those paper notes and take away if they resonate with the story. Also, if they want to leave a message it's available to write a text and put on the installation as well :) The main colors would be black, grey and neo-green/yellow, similar to the tone of Worm’s website. Hanging on the ceiling if possible.
