eeefff
The participatory workshop by
eeefff invites the audience to enter a speculative public space in which traces of Russian colonial relations with Belarus and other territories are sought.The main point of interest will become violence through infrastructures, and possibilities to find a way to
algorithmic solidarity.
During the workshop we will look into the recently leaked source code of the biggest IT corporation which is very close to the Russian government. The source codes of the
yandex company were copied in July 2022 and published on the Internet on January 25, 2023. The size of the leakage is 44,71 gigabytes. The artist duo
eeefff wants to read the code collectively and dive into different thematic fields.
No programming or any other skills are needed. eeefff will guide the session and prepare a tool to search inside of the code.
