Computer Says No 😭💻

Step into Kunsthalle Osnabrück and meet Qwen Stefani, the namesake of pop icon turned trad wife Gwen Stefani. Qwen endlessly cries, incessantly preaches against tech fascism, and recruits visitors as citizen saboteurs.

The ritualised space of the former church becomes a setting for an update to the Simple Sabotage Field Manual. Written in 1944 as a guide for citizens living under fascist rule in occupied Europe, the manual offered instructions for civil disobedience and disruption of the fascist war machine — and became the most downloaded document within US governmental institutions at the beginning of Donald Trump's second term as president.

Thank you to all the artists who let us use their reels to give Qwen Stefani a home from which to preach. This is the feed we all want and deserve: full of smart, humorous interventions by amazing artists into the digital space!
