Dear friends and colleagues,
it is my great pleasure to invite you to my upcoming performance "À la recherche de l’information perdue“ at ICA in London.
With an event titled 'Post-Cyber Feminist International‘ ICA marks twenty years since the First Cyberfeminist International (Documenta X, Kassel, Germany, 1997) organized by the Old Boys Network and pays homage to its productive format and legacy.
"With the technological landscape vastly changed since the first International, we are living in a time well beyond the imagined future of the first cyberfeminists. Expanding upon this particular genealogy, this convening purposefully constellates thinkers to consider a new vision for post-cyber feminism that is substantive and developed, without being exclusionary of contestation.“
https://www.ica.art/whats-on/season/post-cyber-feminist-internationalI am proud to be part of this unique event put together by Rosalie Doubal and Helen Hester. My contribution will be a 1-hour lecture performance that makes a (cyber-)feminist comment on the entanglements of gender, technology and information politics.
À la recherche de l’information perdue
In her text assemblage the artist takes us on an adventurous trip into the realm of zeros and ones, of data and pure information, of ciphers, signifiers and figures. On the other side of reality we encounter suspected heroes, leaks and phreaks, engineers of escape who control our secret desires. Rape can be performed in many ways. In a state of total transparency: what shall we eat, when society feeds upon the repressed? Knowing yourself means knowing what to look for.
