Next weekend Varia will host a meeting on feminist servers as part of a series called Feminist Hack Meetings.

Let's talk about feminist servers! In this meeting, we invite you to discuss questions like:
What does it mean for a server to be feminist, and how could it look like? What and who does it serve? What does it take to create and maintain it?
We would like to map and draw collectively our ideas and consider the possibility of setting up a feminist server at Varia, as a base for our practice.
We will bring material (like RPis and computers) to start experimenting and trying things out.
Join us!

"Greece’s proposed ‘floating wall’ shows the failure of EU migration policies"

By copying Trump's tactics the Greek government creates the illusion of a 'safe' nation in order to stay in power. But as the borders are within the sea the wall will be floating!

"Tensions mount as asylum seekers living in Moria, a notoriously overcrowded Greek camp, rally against poor conditions."

@manetta and @blcktofu the work you did was successful. ELAINE is talking to us and printing this year as well.

*ELAINE* is awake. #openday #wdka #social_practices. She says "hi". Together with Clara and @alcstrt

She is a cyborg librarian and budding xenofeminist who does not believe doing emotional labor invalidates her intellectual capabilities.

"The voice-over guides you to the crime section of the #library [Whitechapel Library], asks you to read excerpts from books, and leads you out of the library and onto the #street"

Tune in!

Radio-active female monstrosity ft Angeliki Diakrousi
Angeliki D.’s research is focused on amplifying female voices. During her performance Radio-active female monstrosity she uses her voice, as well as an online sound archive she built to play, layer and gradually distort into chaos. The female voice becoming the male voice, becoming the monster, the otherworldly voice.

20:30 – 21:00
[ASMR] Radio Boyfriend ft Pradapony69 (Niek Hilkmann)
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to have your very own ASMR boyfriend, one that talks really soft and only about radio? During this performance Pradapony69 will send chills down your spine while explaining the difference between long waves and microwaves.

21:00 – 21:30
Stations of Exception ft Jad S
Jad Saliba taps on the subject of radio circuit bending, specifically focusing on the sound artifacts that may arise from this malleable topography, intimidating so-called “white spaces” — the gaps that exists in between the “Am-Fm” radio stations.
In addition to this, he also creates soundscapes from broadcasted materials to generate complex shapes and abstract distorted speeches.
