IRL


I picked an odd time to disconnect.


I'm in the final days of prep for launching a p2p exhibition with a brilliant group of artists and I no longer have the spaces I'd go to tell folks about it -to amplify, signal-boost... generate noise.


Throughout the project I've tried to resist some of our more casual ways of doing things i.e. (we've been able to use a greener web host, different analytics)


https://greenhost.net

https://plausible.io


-which is mostly knowledge and strategies I've gleaned from the work of others on the LURK servers... so leaning into a different kind of promotion feels appropriate.


So here is where I'll whisper it,


https://carefulnetworks.net


The details are there now, but the exhibition will launch next week and can be accessed through Beaker or Agregore.


If you've somehow found this gemlog then I'm very optimistic that a p2p exhibition exploring the idea of a careful network is something you wouldn't consider a waste of time to check out.


If you don't want to user the hyper protocol, it will also launch as an 'archived' html version on 12th November.


I'll no doubt gemlog about it again.


I'm also working on some drawings and annotating some poems for an IRL show with my local artist group, for their annual members show. It's probably the only time of the year I set out to make some work that can actually exist in a gallery space and I love doing it. I love being part of this group of people making things, making a space, holding a space, caring for a space.
