poetry/games mini commission opportunity:

Playing Poetry and Phoenix Cinema and Art Centre are launching a co-commission for two makers to collaborate on a new piece of game-based poetic work. We are looking for poets, artists and game-makers with an interest in crossing genre, form and format. We are open to all forms of poetic and ludic creation.

£1k fee, deadline 17th Oct

on topic of wikipedia edits, this is a really long article about tim o'reilly that came up in reference to o'reilly editing a wikipedia article and then espousing the view that he edited in https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-meme-hustler

summary: o'reilly has pivoted from selling books and conferences to selling ideologies, using books and conferences as justification. examples include spinning "web 2.0" as a natural evolution of web instead of a power grab, writing books about it and in effect memeing the idea

Is there any good research that explores the interactions between #otaku culture, #furry fandom and #queer internet culture?

Next Tuesday @ Varia 😃

Booklaunch: Volumetric Regimes
4 October 20:00 - 22:00 @ Varia, Rotterdam (NL)

"Volumetric Regimes makes an essential contribution to the ways in which we must rethink matter politically and ecologically. As the book unfolds, ontological questions of intensities, dimensions, and substance are denaturalised as mere properties of matter that can be measured, modified, and thus computed" — Susan Schuppli

Sonic Liberation Front: In Solidarity with Iran and Kurdistan

"Taking Over Radio Stations Around the Globe Thursday 29th & Friday 30th of September 1:30pm to 3:30am (Tehran) | 12pm to 2am (Bethlehem) | 10am to 12am (London) All Iranian Female/Non-binary Line Up

Iranian and Kurdish history in the past hundred years is a story of resistance against violence and oppression. Most recently, on 16 September, the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, Mahsa (Jina) Amini, ignited a nationwide uprising in Iran. #Mahsaamini / #Jinaamini was detained and beaten up by the morality police for wearing her hijab in an "inappropriate" way and died in custody. Since then Kurds and Iranians, particularly women, have been on the streets shouting "Women, Life, Freedom" demanding a free country, a fair government and the abolition of compulsory hijab. The Iranian government is violently attacking and arresting the protesters and has shut down the internet to limit communications.

We are standing by the people of Iran and Kurdistan who are risking their lives for freedom."
