Therapy Session

Year 2016

On Thursday evening, 24 March, artists, thinkers and the public analyse the interaction between the human body and digital technology in an intensive session of lectures, performances, and a concert of water sounds. Therapy Session speculates on more qualitative forms of living and self-understanding in our current data-dominated society. During this evening I will present 'Subtitling TLTRNW' a video captioning the work 'TLTRNW' in the show 'Spending Quality Time With My Quantified Self', followed by a disclosure of 'A Media Archeology of Steganography', an invisible ink performance.

From 24 -30 August, 15 international graphic designers and myself participated in the Van Eyck  Summer Design Academy 2015, 'The Digital vs. the Archaic'. During a weeklong course, we worked at the Charles Nypels Lab under the guidance of the Design Displacement Group, using all graphic design media from coding to RISO, from silkscreen to the use of vintage stencil machines.
