Workshop: collective intelligence association

eeefff / Algosomatic session, 15:00 – 18:00

“algosomatics” (algorithms + embodied experience) is something we name to experiment with effects and affects that are settled on the bodies which are part of platform economies, or more broadly, part of the technologies of their age.

In this workshop we experiment with non-verbal ways of dealing with computations: how imagination could be developed with the help of motor learning, how bodies, being trapped in the platform capitalism, can try to turn it into the strength.

In a previous algosomatic session, the workshop explored topics connected to “punishment” of users who try to use e-scooters for free (https://as.eeefff.org/debug_score).

For the session during the mur.at worklab eeefff will take a next step and experiment with different algorithms. We will make a protocol how we can speculate and then we will try to play out a new algorithm with our bodies. So, after we choose an algorithm, we then allocate roles that are active, and decide what are their activities.

The bio of the collective:

eeefff (Minsk/Berlin) is artistic cooperation / made-up institution / cybernetic political brigade / poetic computations / hacking unit / queer time. It is neither one of these, nor all together. Active from 2013. The group works with emotions and affects shaped by technologies and critically explores digital labour, value extraction, and community formation. Methods include: public actions, online interventions, performative seminars, software, and hardware hacking, framing environments, and choreographing social situations.
