Digital Solidarity Networks started as a shared listing of tools, practices and readings for digital solidarity, conviviality and togetherness. In May and June 2021 we are organising 3 public moments for collective relearning.

For the first event, happening on Thursday 20 May, 15:00 -18:00 CEST, we will be joined by Dušan Barok, who will speak about Artist-Run Digital Networks and Community Work.

Together, we will be asking:

* How can we reconfigure digital networks across timelines and communities?

I'm still trying to get people to sign the petition https://www.change.org/p/president-hillman-the-mills-college-music-department-and-center-for-contemporary-music-must-be-protected

The Alumni Association asked me to write the letter, but I asked Charles Amirkhanian of Other Minds to write it instead. He got a lot of help from composer Maggi Payne (who you can hear on radio 3 tonight at 10) and then sent it to me.

I gave it to my spouse, who is a professional writer and editor, who did some work on it. Then an experienced campaigner had a go at it, then a member of music faculty, then the coalition had to vote on whether it would come from them. This may be the most complicated project I've managed. Anyway, please sign it.

I'm in free to attend talk/panel tonight about #experimental #publishing

5-7pm UK time

"Online Panel: Experimental publishing and alternative networked cultures

Convened by Ruth Blacksell and Lozana Rossenova with contributions from Karen Di Franco, Aymeric Mansoux, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Medak.

The emergence of experimental post-digital publishing over the past decade has opened up new modes and methods of design practice that have allowed for extended relationships between social and media environments. This panel discussion draws on historical as well as contemporary references to examine such approaches through a range of perspectives, spanning the fields of art, graphic design, digital media and software development. The projects and practices discussed in the presentations and subsequent Q&A will consider the shift away from fixed to more fluid forms of publication and acts of publishing that are contingent upon networked, interactive and hybrid (digital/analog) contexts."

Arnaud, Chun, Dustin, @l03s and myself got interviewed about our #NES game/project What Remains in the VGS forum, as part of scrobins' A Homebrew Draws Near! blog series. Was super fun to write this together :D

Two days ago I was also invited by David Young of Royal Holloway University London to talk about the project. It was a very good chat (thanks to the input from Olga Goriunova, Alfie Bown, David and his students of course) on the relationship between video #games and #politics.

Last call! EU deadline: 29 April 🔥💻

What Remains is at the “Sonic game space II” exhibition at Visningsrommet USF, #Bergen, #Norway. 24.04-08.05

"Sonic Game Space aims to shed light on experimental use of play and interaction, and the new ways of playing. Through experimental game mods, they encourage interactive installations & custom made games."

Also with works by Marieke Verbiesen, Martijn Verhallen, Jordan Bartee, Theo Triantafyllidis & David Murray!

Saturday 27 March at 15:00 GMT I will join the Now Play This team and Nicholas O'Brien of Essay Games to play two games (Villains and Heroes and The Last Survey) and discuss games that explicitly explore bad actors in terms of the climate crisis.

This year the festival explores the relationship between play, games and the climate crisis. It's on 25 - 28 March, 100% online and freely accessible. There's a game jam 😀
