Spike :donor:Hey there, fellow retro-tech nerds! The <a href="https://post.lurk.org/@mediaarchaeologylab" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mediaarchaeologylab</a> has posted its open call for practitioners-in-residence in the lab for the next season, which begins in September. Submit your proposal by May 15! Please boost for reach.<a href="https://mediaarchaeologylab.ghost.io/practitioner-in-residence-open-call/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mediaarchaeologylab.ghost.io/practitioner-in-residence-open-call/</a>The theme for the 2025/2026 residency is Counter Computing: Alternative Imaginaries. Lab director Lori Emerson describes it this way: "We are interested in any form of artistic and/or scholarly practice that engages counter-computational practices, such as glitching, hacking, tinkering, queering, subverting, (un)making and (re)imagining. Through such experimentation, we encourage you to explore how our relation to (and imagination of) technology can be remade to envision alternative pasts, presents and futures."The lab is asking interested parties to submit a proposal for an up-to-4-week residency that includes full access to the lab and its resources, and logistical support. Residents are expected to produce a public lecture, demo, video, performance, or exhibition as part of the residency.
