Critical making and creative submissions are invited to explore tensions between technological norms and practices of improvisation, resistance, care, and refusal. Projects may include hacks, counterfunctional objects, speculative or unfinished experiments, community-built tools, or creative works across sound, video, installation, performance, textiles, zines, and hybrid media. We value work that foregrounds glitch, misalignment, repurposing, and disobedient design as modes of knowledge production, and we especially welcome process-based, fragmentary, and pluriversal approaches that disrupt normative technological imaginaries.
Display Period: Displayed throughout the symposium unless otherwise arranged
