• QUEERingNETWORKing — Webs Against Normal

Z. Blace

In the time when discussing the ’new normal‘ in media is a dominant media trend of ‚developed‘ world, while suppressed and critical voices are questioning who’s normal it was…web practices that address normalcy and How?Who? they fail should help research, imagine and prototype what could be alternatives, or even appropriations that foreground care and needs for those who are always far from ‘norms’. After the acceleration is it time to slow down and think sustainability and degrowth WikiWiki%Lohi?

• Sorry About That

Antonio Roberts

With galleries and venues closed, more artists, musicians, DJ’s and other performers have started to explore live streaming as a way to continue to perform to an audience. In this area the issue of copyright enforcement and infringement still exists and is potentially worsened, with performances being disrupted or stopped due to copyright claims. In this talk I will ask how compatible live streaming is with copyright, especially when it is enforced by bots and algorithms.
