Join Tech Resident Alum Grayson Earle to expand on digital and online modes of activism. Due to the nature of the ongoing pandemic, we will discuss ways in which artists and activists have considered new online contexts and how we might do the same. Recent notable examples include TikTok activist @black_madness21’s software that automatically applies to Kellogg’s with fake information in the wake of their union-busting, and Tega Brain &amp; Sam Lavigne’s Synthetic Messenger software that artificially inflates ad revenue for climate change-related articles.Date: This virtual workshop will meet once on Thursday, April 28 from 12-1pm EST.Price: Free ($10 suggested donation).Audience: Open to all.Materials: None.Grayson Earle is a new media artist and educator.
