Through choreographed breathing, the choir members connected to each other, to the audience in the museum and the people who were active on their social media. The performance expressed the performative nature of breathing by making different aspects of breathing visible and audible.
#purplenoise is an interdisciplinary technofeminist research group that uses real-life events to explore social media as the arena for protest and political activation. The research methodolody includes intervention, infiltration, manipulation, technofeminist propaganda, poetry, fake news, love, and anger.
On 1 May 2020, #purplenoise is launching a technofeminist campaign on care. The old feminist topic of reproductive labor is moving to the center of public attention on the occasion of the beginning of the Corona crisis.
Video installation and participatory online theatre: On one screen there is a video with dreamlike sequences from various locations in Hamburg, in which the protagonist reflects from a great distance on past events. Opposite is the projection of a “social wall” on which flashbacks in the form of images, animations, text pieces, slogans, concepts, names, faces and places flood the social media channels of #purplenoise.
In this workshop, we explore the subversive legacy of noise and look at different types of noise, by playing with analog and digital tools. From the sensual level, we shift to the concept of noise in relation to social media. To noisify social media, we experiment with manipulative strategies, which, by deliberately interfering or confusing on communication platforms, attempt to obscure or to falsify a message or information for its recipients.
Humans can supplement their physical boundaries by freely selecting features from other creatures. #purplenoise chose the feelers as a playful symbol for the necessary expansion of the human sensorium. The audience can experiment with their own feelers and tell about their experiences.
Inspired by Donna Haraway, biology, and wireless technology, the workshop gives an introduction to the creation and use of “feelers” as alternative communication channels, as vehicles for creating new stories about the future, and as memes to infiltrate and burst narrow patriarchal-capitalist narratives.
A booklet was created for the Exhibition Library, at the Seoul Museum of Art as part of the Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018. The concept of the exhibition was to celebrate the medium of the exhibition catalogue, by inviting artists to create thirty imaginary catalogues for exhibitions that never took place.
