Een avond met lezingen door kunstenaars die feministische, queer en dekoloniale benaderingen van technologie verkennen.
Hoe ziet technologie eruit wanneer deze wordt vormgegeven vanuit feministische, queer en dekoloniale perspectieven? Tijdens de meetup Code, Clay and Kinshipnodigen drie kunstenaars en onderzoekers ons uit om benaderingen te verkennen die zorg, wederkerigheid en materialiteit centraal stellen in onze verwevenheid met het meer-dan-menselijke leven.
Artist and researcher Patrícia J. Reis will present her recent projects exploring embodied interfaces, intimacy, and consent. Through feminist hacking and sensory interaction, her work investigates how living and technological systems intertwine, opening questions of agency and ethics in our relations with machines.
Stefanie Wuschitz will share her ongoing research into feminist, queer, and decolonial approaches to technology, with a particular focus on digital colonialism. Her perspective highlights how the infrastructures of the digital world reproduce systems of power, and how feminist practices can intervene to create spaces for care and resistance.
This evening does not aim to provide ready-made solutions, but to ground a conversation: What would it mean to design devices that attune to the rhythms of other species? How can technology be thought of as kin, rather than as a neutral tool or an extractive force?
Code, Clay and Kinship also serves as the theoretical framework for the workshop Feminist Hardware: Making Printed Circuit Boards with Natural Clay, where participants will experiment with natural materials and recycled metals to imagine new forms of hardware.
Together, the talks and workshop form part of Ground, Creative Coding Utrecht’s long-term artistic research programme into ecological attunement, multispecies collaboration, and the possibilities of Zoöp as a model for living and making with others.
