22.12.2019.-31.1.2020.

U prosincu 2019. i siječnju 2020. gošća hackn3t rezidencije je umjetnica Laura Ige. Tijekom svoje zagrebačke umjetničke produkcije Laura istražuje protokole konstrukcije i primjenu oblikovanja rodnih identiteta u području softverske konverzacijske "umjetne inteligencije" (tj. "chatbots"), povodom čega želi ostvariti nove suradnje s lokalnim umjetnicama/ima, aktivisti/ca/ma, informatičarkama/ima i/ili znanstvenicama/ima.
Krajem rezidencije umjetnica će predstaviti svoje djelo u javnom razgovoru koji će se odviti u prostoru hacklab01 (AKC, Pierottijeva 11, Zg), u subotu 25. siječnja 2020. u 18h.

Laura Ige rođena je 1985. u Buenosu Airesu u Argentini. Njena područja interesa obuhvaćaju vizualne umjetnosti, sound art i pisanje o popularnoj, digitalnoj i underground kulturi s naglaskom na dekonstrukciji i rastjelovljenju ženskih identiteta u digitalnoj domeni. Bazu njenog istraživanja čine poveznice igara, životnog stila i društvenih medija te njihovo izmještanje u fizičku svakodnevicu, neoseksualnost i dekonstrukcija ljudskog u pornografiji, tehnologiji ljubavi, komodifikacija identiteta kao performans i performativnost virtualnih identiteta.

彡ﾟ◉ω◉ )つー☆* Summary: README_METHODS_FOR_ANIMALS

This proposal comes from another project called Hi, Im $NAME. [presentation video](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TrfRgaIl8qi3TKC1XYQauWnMFSWQYMWK)

For this proposal README_METHODS_FOR_ANIMALS, I would like to develop protocols to try to understand how is it to feel like a machine. Objectives: to analyse differences of the design of gender identities through algorithms, in relation to normativity, social roles, sexual orientation, etc., elements that define the design of a female bot (in general numerous, stupid, submissive, sexy, horny) vs a male bot (I could only find one, quite smart, professional, romantic, secure), according to fixed social roles’ behaviour. To work on two prototypes of female bots, after conclusions and data from the first procedure. To run these female bots in Tinder, with collaboration (API’s reverse engineering) as an intervention in public spheres. Device: Tinder. Methodology: Using Tinder with an anthropological and sociological approach, a practice-based research from the core, throughout chatting interviews and sexual meetings.

Feel free to contact me if you have further questions or if you would like to collaborate, to info@hacklab01.org.

— Laura Ige

Born in 1985 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her fields of experimentation are visual arts, sound art and writing on the popular, digital and underground culture in regards of the disembodiment/deconstruction of female identities in the digital. This relationship between games, lifestyle, social media and the transposition into the real/everydayness, the neosexualities and the deconstruction of the human in porn, the technology of love, the commodification of identity as a performance, the performativity of the virtual identity are the basis of her research.
She has a degree in Fine Arts at Universidad Nacional de La Plata in Buenos Aires, among other participations in seminars, workshops and art clinics outside the academic field since 2013. She studied piano at the Conservatory of Music Julián Aguirre, and medicine until fourth year at Universidad de Buenos Aires. She just finished her MA in Fine Arts MAPS Program, Arts in Public Spheres –summa cum laude- at Édhéa, Sierre, Switzerland.
