We loved listening to ‘From Cyber Punk to Time Hunting’ at our #FeelingMachinesWeekender. In collab with Container Magazine, this podcast with @RusselHlongwane + @MarkMushiva talks hip-hop, cyberpunk + new theories of creative tech for Africa 👨🏿‍💻 tinyurl.com/from-cyberpunk

We loved co-creating noisy electronic drawings which sprawled across the floor of St Anne’s House earlier this year with #PRRRRRT! as part of our #FeelingMachinesWeekender! 📸 Ibi Feher

Looking back on how @tapia experimented with hybrid methods to access oracular knowledge at our #FeelingMachinesWeekender 🔮🤖 blending digital ‘oracle bot’ @digitaldreamx plus physical cards of the Marseille Tarot… 📸 Ibi Feher

Last year, a hybrid workshop at @knowlewestmedia with @unstablematters explored how personal stories can become data (or not). This research led to an artwork exhibited at our #FeelingMachinesWeekender in Spring 2023, co-commissioned with @Bristol_BathRD 🤖✨ 📸 Ibi Feher

#HarrietHorobinWorley’s residency with Container Magazine and Control Shift last year explored personal offerings on local web servers through simple acts of tending a courtyard garden.🌷🧑🏾‍🌾 #FeelingMachinesWeekender Occasionally live here: poem.garden 📸 Ibi Feher

We’re so excited to share that since then, Dzata won the 2023 @lumenprize Global Majority Award AND received an honorary mention for @ArsElectronica 2023! 🎉 🥳 We're not surprised ;)

Enjoyed 'Dzata' screening at @arnolfiniarts during our #FeelingMachinesWeekender! @RusselHlongwane, @lodeffilms, @FrancoisKnoetze + #AmyLouiseWilson blend documentary/poetry to imagine vernacular tech across Africa... Watch on YouTube: tinyurl.com/dzata-film 📸 Ibi Feher

We loved @maxdovey’s Rare Earth Walks during our #FeelingMachinesWeekender earlier this year! Together we tuned into subsoil frequencies, unearthed rare treasures and turned our found metals into precious energy. ⚡🪨 📸 Ibi Feher
