.dpi 28 / Call for Projects: Gender(ed) Cultures on the Internet

Call for Submissions
.dpi issue 28 (fall 2013)
Deadline: 13 September 2013
http://dpi.studioxx.org/

Themed Section: Gender(ed) Cultures on the Internet
Guest Editor: Jennifer Chan

In the Themed Section of its 28th issue, .dpi is looking at the internet as a heterogenous space that allows for the deliberation and challenging of gender ideals.

On the internet, like-minded users find communities of interest based on mobilizing conversations around feminism and masculinism alike. Donna Haraway and Coco Fusco suggest that the early internet may have precipitated emancipatory potentials for the performance of gender, as receding boundaries between bodies and machines would allow for historically invisibilized and marginal gender subjectivities to be heard. Conversely, the imbalanced history of representational structures upheld by museum and academic art institutions run up against these optimistic intentions on the internet. In light of a vast majority of Wikipedia editors identifying as male and recurring uproars over representation disparity in video games and net art, the gaps in representation of women and queer people in technology and new media art remain unexplained and unresolved. On one hand, the complex, intertwined relationship between social discourse and representations of gender
online could be examined, since rigid ideals of masculinity and femininity are still dominant in online communities like OKCupid et AskMen and MPUA (pickup artists) forums. On the other, artistic practice that co-opts and/or questions these definitions may open doors for new ways of understanding the social construction of gender.

While Cyberfeminist collectives of the 90s sought to specifically infiltrate the male-dominated arena of net.art, feminist networked practices are pluralist today. Early artistic users such as Netochka Nezvanova and the late LaTurbo Avedon exploit the apparent anonymity of networks to project unstable personas and interests. Nowadays, online feminist critique reflects gendered realities and aspirations of users, ranging from subversive pop cultural remix to latent commentary in image aggregation on tumblrs. Elsewhere on the internet, honest writing by bloggers and writers such as Karley Sciortino (Slutever) et Marie Calloway have invoked blogosphere uproar over the “correct” artistic self-representation of female sexuality. Ultimately, binary notions of gender (masculinity and femininity) as an acculturated performance of imitating socialized ideals manifests in technology, and is also a product of technology. Yet these conventions are rendered
unstable by user deliberation of such representations within the informal space of the web (1). What kinds of practices and representations are currently important to women and queer people? What conversations reflect the realities of gender distribution in art on the internet? What would a truly postgender online environment look like? What kinds of uses of the network breach existing ideas of bodily performativity?

Submission of completed articles may include (and are not limited to):
- analyses of queer, transgender, and/or heterosexual culture online;
- networked art practices and conversations on feminism and queerness;
- descriptions of non-academic, artistic and social feminist conversations and practices facilitated by the internet;
- the gendered structure of the internet;
- feminist analyses on internet subculture;
- interviews with creatives who work within related themes;
- statements and manifestos;
- alternative histories of online feminist art practice.

Completed texts and/or projects by interested participants of all sexualities and orientations are welcomed.

Medo
Nesta palestra, duas pessoas, que manifestam um saber arquivista sobre medos, estão sentadas lado a lado para evocar medos passados presentes e futuros; autobiográficos ou não. Medos que se transformam em medos sociológicos, em manifestações do controlo político que é exercido sobre a sociedade, sobre as pessoas. A partir dos conflitos internos de cada performer constrói-se uma apresentação fragmentada com direito a pequenos actos de sarar que não pretendem mais do que transformar veneno em remédio.

Feminismos
De forma nostálgica e pessoal evocam-se algumas das performances mais significativas para a arte da performance feminista, seguindo-se uma reflexão pessoal sobre a prática do feminismo nos dias de hoje. A palestra termina com a recriação de duas performances feministas do século XX.

ANA PÉREZ-QUIROGA / BREVIÁRIO DO QUOTIDIANO #8

Ana Pérez-Quiroga convida para a apresentação do projecto artístico Breviário do Quotidiano #8
e lançamento do website que o integra www.anaperezquirogahome.com

Ana Pérez-Quiroga abre-nos a porta de sua casa. A artista vive num apartamento pombalino na Baixa de Lisboa, último andar com varanda florida e vista para o Tejo.
Na sua casa, como em qualquer outra, encontram-se múltiplos objectos, uns com carácter meramente funcional outros sem função aparente. Resultam de uma cronologia não linear de escolhas e acasos, de experiências e expectativas, uma acumulação de sedimentos que revela o gosto, personalidade e quotidiano de quem a habita.

Em Breviário do Quotidiano #8, Ana alarga a possibilidade de fruição da sua casa também enquanto objecto artístico, uma instalação participativa. Convertida em instalação, o utilizador pode estabelecer uma relação performativa com o espaço e os seus objectos. O projecto permite não só que que a casa seja arrendada temporariamente, como a participação de eventos artísticos em torno de um jantar mediante marcação e a aquisição da maioria do seus objectos, mesmo os mais improváveis, aos quais é atribuído um valor monetário. É também possível adquirir fotografias da casa ou dos seus objectos como obras de arte, assinadas e numeradas pela artista.
