¿Coding situations? pt.01: cyberwitching with Claire Williams
Keywords: cyberwitching, cyberspells, esoteric practices, dream as technology, reclaiming cyberspace
We invite you to join us for a moment of collective sharing of experimental tactics using magick and hacking legacies. If witches are seen as energy benders, so can we read programmers, guided by code, functions and the currents flowing through circuits as spell casters or magick potions? How do we lift the veil to get out of the spell that entraps us in these cyber and techno dependencies to reclaim alternative technologies?
We will gather around a bowl made of objects you brought that will guide us to conjure counter-spells. To unravel and reactivate our imagination, to go forward and circumvent the violence of techno-dominations and imagine collective forms of actions. The objects in the bowl will serve as amulets and guidance with whom we will navigate in the dream world to sense a collective vision and a narrative. We will conjure up spells to create ethereal bugs in the techno patriarchal, capitalist machinery.
Dream circles are a collective practice where we dream the dreams shared by the participants. We collectively explore these otherworldly materiality’s, giving them more consistency and foster our intuitions.
Are you equally curious to explore together what the dream circle can be?
