Actinomy


Actinomy is an emerging feminist server based in bremen. Our eco-anarcha-feminist approach is inspired by actinomyces, a radiant bacteria found in compost. Linked by an inclination towards DIT (do-it-together) and low tech, we seek to disrupt our everyday techno-capitalist relations: big platforms that thrive on the extraction of our data, non-consensual ads, the capitulation before the tech savy cis male gatekeepers and the alienation from our own soft-, hard and wetware. Our gatherings are nurtured by feminist principles of care, collective learning and archiving practices. In shared terminal sessions we transform a raspberry pi into a solar-powered server providing infrastructures for feminist art projects and groups who seek to cut ties with extractivist data practices. While we speculate what a feminist server might be(come), we are permeating the on- and offline, streching our hyphae towards situated practices and extra-earthly frontend creativity.

Project


So far we have existed in niche ecosystems - we will briefly evolve into a semi-public space during the residency. Our wish is to engage in queer community-building by inviting fellow artists and nerds to our sessions.

Sessions will include: selfmade solar setup, strategies of queering techno-capitalism, a server charm workshop, screenings, situated publishing and a monster picnic where you may rest & stitch & eat & rest. more tba
