Short description

(Originally published on https://www.kampnagel.de)

Three days of intensive “digital feminism” featuring talks, video and room installations, workshops and DJ sets by international and Hamburg artists. World premieres and commissioned pieces look to pasts and futures, melding and blurring images and sounds – every bit as analogue as digital. Are we already “slaves to the algorithm” or can we find ways to escape the digital reproduction of inequalities? Representatives of the queer-feminist avant garde provide diverse approaches to and perspectives on these mediated worlds, local reference points and global echo chambers. Bots can lie but bits don’t bite!

Digifem is funded by Elbkulturfonds and within the framework of the Alliance International Production Houses supported by the Commissioner for Culture and Media.

Abstract (in English)

In this chapter, in The Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature, Luciana Gattass aim to approximate German literary theorist Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht's aesthetics of "presence" to the recent phenomenon of electronic literature, which Gattass describes as the digitally "born" literary objects meant to be experienced within networked and programmable media environments. 

Pull Quotes

[...] I propose we draw a connection between the tendency toward immersion occuring presently in Silicon Valley and a movement within the humanities to recover the body and materiality as sources of theoretical engagement, as evidenced by theories of affect, presence, and embodiment.
