<nettime-ann> Fwd: CALL FOR DIGITAL RESIDENCIES JUNE 2017


.

CALL FOR DIGITAL RESIDENCIES JUNE 2017 

warehouse will announce three calls for a Digital Residency that address the categories of the project. For each call two persons or collectives will be selected for a four-week »Digital Residency« which is rewarded with 650 to support the realization of a project during this time. 


An ethnography on strategies of digital friction

Reality is organized in discrete units. We are trapped in filter bubbles, surrounded by comfort and uniformity – ”digital islands of isolation that are drifting further apart each day.” In other words, seamless surfaces are stacked on top of each other, engaging us in the cosy architecture of Gated Communities. Personalized interfaces endure into homophilia we are encircled with more of the same. Comfortable exclusions of the Other touch upon an easy space of segregation. 


Call No. 1 - June 2017

The first call addresses the first two categories of warehouse: [home] and [entropy]. Each proposal must respond to one of the two categories:

[Home]

Tepping1337: RIP HOME!!!
Tinki Winky: :O
Tepping1337: It was fun!!!!
Jasmin: one minute
Window_Viper: I love u a all.... :<
The final 60 seconds of playstation home before sony unplugged their virtual wonderland.

There is no plug. You cannot but return. Home urges to explore so-called »roots«, to investigate what it is that structures. Home is an attempt to recover a place mental and real, in which past and futures collide. There is no RIP. Home is where the heart is. Home is where it hurts.

[Entropy]

Imagine a cup of coffee. You put sugar in it. You mix it with a spoon either slow or fast. The coffee gets sweet. However, what if you put too much sugar into the cup? It is too late. Two substances have become one. This is the uniform direction, the 'arrow pointed through time,' entropy is based on: The irreversible deterioration of energy in every system resulting in a state of non differentiation within matter. If you mix long enough everything will become this sweet brownish indiscernible liquid everything will deteriorate into chaos. However, as much as too much sugar may turn to bitterness it is entropy that implies both the dissolution of necessity and the beginning of the end and maybe even a new beginning.
