Protocol
– The Virtual Co-presence of the Internet
About
Join radio producer and educator Areej Nur in a conversation on how artists and thinkers use the internet to create offline communities centred around ideas of care, virtual co-presence and community building. How do we navigate and negotiate our online identities when the internet often demands fragmentation? How do artists implement communal practices and aesthetics in everyday life and provide spaces to switch off from the constant nature of the internet?
This talk will explore concepts of digital sovereignty and suggest ways we can all co-create radical, challenging, and empowering online and offline spaces together.
Protocol is a series of live talks grounded in the relationship between contemporary performance and the digital cultures that exist on the internet, hosted by Areej Nur as part of BLEED Echo, a public program responding to and ricocheting from the five artist projects and curatorial conversations of BLEED.
