Idiotic Code: On Resistant Usership
The Side Room in collaboration with Future Ruins
Idiotic Code: On Resistant Usership:
The multi-disciplinary five-day seminar accompanying the (anti-) cybernetic steam bath C'hu, which opens at W139 from Friday 9 October until Saturday 7 November 2015.
What are our idiotic, failing and resistant processes and uses-usages of the body, of living-life, and their prostheses and (technological) extensions or software: from drugs, spiritual practices, ethno-botanical divination, steam bathing, physical exercise, intimacy, community or sexuality, to those technologies that are more commonly understood as technologies (a.k.a computing). How can we develop an ‘idiotic‘ code, which escapes the logics of a surveilling, controlling and disciplinary system? In what way can we practice a resistant use of identitarian technologies such as race, gender or sexuality? "How to un-think something you don't know you're thinking?" (Lisa Nakamura)
Our guests and contributors AND (Eva Weinmayr, Rosalie Schweiker), Maria Berrios, Marthe Van Dessel, Vinay Gupta, Immaterial Labour Union, Kat Jungnickel, Ryan Maguire, Nadya Peek, and Nick Srnicek will investigate various questions and dilemmas within the realm of usership's technological, cultural, political and personal limitations/potentials for deviance and resistance.
