Embracing the Glitch
Home > ARTIST WORKSHOPS >
A workshop with Anan Fries exploring the reframing of gender in digital worlds.
About the workshop
Taking Legacy Russel’s Glitch Feminism as a travel guide, we collectively research aesthetics of glitching and look at constructions and deconstructions of online identities.
We use different social media platforms like instagram and VR Chat as stages to perform and un-perform digital bodies and their glitchy identities.
