Bittersweet, finalizing my four years as advisor at Stimuleringsfonds, within the Digital Cultures commission. I loved working with everyone involved while observing a changing focus from seeking innovation in the field to taking a critical standpoint in the face of big tech’s indiscriminate power overhaul. I believe the fund will give continuity to a responsible societal engagement with technologies of production and control.
@stimuleringsfondsAlmost there. Finalizing Becoming Opaque, my new installation film, commissioned by EYE film museum. It will be shown during a group exhibition at the museum with artists working with the colonial archive, curated by Hicham Khalidi and opening on March 13. More information to follow.
Post about my contribution to the Slow Technology Reader, organized by Carolyn Strauss and published by Valiz Books
@valiz_books@pixelfed.social @valiz_booksIt’s here! This seminal volume put together by Carolyn Strauss and published by
@valiz_books on resisting the present social and political debacle promoted by big tech, and proposing actual strategies for collective action. Happy to be included in this incredible line up of writers, thinkers, artists and activists.
Yesterday’s presentation in Filmhuis The Hague was great, with a very involved discussion with the public moderated by Ghamte Schmidt (curator programming at Central Museum The Hague). Thank you all for coming and debating how to decolonize mainstream film archives and their colonial collections.
Have you seen our latest release 👉 'Slow Technology Reader' ?
'Slow Technology Reader' gathers contributions from diverse disciplinary fields and knowledge traditions to consider technology through a ‘Slow’ lens. This new volume in the Slow series gestures toward a fuller spectrum of what technology is and can be, moving beyond the limited perspectives and legacy structures that dominate technological development today.
By Carolyn F. Strauss, with many contributors.
