Algorithmic Rituals: July 10

Join a participatory movement workshop exploring algorithmic decision making by using rules to generate motions  and how they relate.

You’re invited to a participatory movement workshop for creating rituals that ponder how we can create space for ourselves in the context of worlds structured so largely by computers. From social media to search engines and healthcare to our jobs, computers are making so many decisions about all of us, and there’s often little say we have. In this 1:45 hour workshop, we’ll use movement and conversation prompts to think about how our lives and bodies relate to these systems. We’ll work from a flowchart based on our relationships to decision-making systems to generate movements, and combine them together to see what patterns emerge.The sessions start with a short conversation about questions like:<ul><li>Where do our lives intersect with these systems? What consequences do you notice? What consequences are hidden?</li><li> What are your daily rituals now? Do they change because of these systems, or not? How are they useful to you? How do you use them to relate to the world?</li></ul>Then we’ll generate movement and go through a few rounds of generating patterns in how we move together, changing our movement based on the other participants. We’ll have a final conversation to close out the event.The sessions will occur online via Zoom. The main session will not be recorded, but you are invited to stay on at the end of the session if you wish to participate in a recorded movement session.Thank you so much to <a href="https://emmedia.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">EMMEDIA </a>for hosting these workshops!Research Study: Post-Installation InterviewsWe are looking for volunteers who attend this art experience to take part in a study of how visitors experience participatory art installations about complex social issues.
