A new network opens
The technological infrastructure that we depend on each day is designed to be invisible. These extractive networks and platforms harness a similar logic: maximise attention, maximise interaction, maximise time-on-screen = engagement.
Stigmergy offers an alternative: A hand-built, unscalable network of artists, media and the traces left between them. An antidote to the slop shock, rage bait and doom scroll flattening of everything we see online.
On Thursday 4 June the network goes live: IRL and URL performances from local and international artists take over NCM with livestreamed acts from curatorial nodes abroad contributing to the network in real time. A PSEUDO curators talk unpacks the infrastructure itself; how it was built, who built it and the values encoded into its architecture.
