neveroddoreven

A website artwork, article in the Sonic Acts Magazine, and installation at Sonic Acts Biennale 2022, with Ren Loren Britton as MELT, with programming by Karl Moubakar and curation of Margarita Osipian

neveroddoreven is a prism of art works intersecting trans* and crip time: a wobbly plane for non-normative ways of experiencing, theorizing, materializing, subverting, and being in time. A website, an installation and an article tell and interweave stories of temporal experiences that engage in divergence.

As part of the installation, a tablet hangs from the ceiling with the website artwork open. On it, sentences in violet color read: 'Future logics emerge from love which includes and exceeds calculation as one of our uncountable love modes. We (disabled and trans* people) are in the future. A thriving future is one that includes disabled and trans* people.' The background behind the tablet is blurry, and on the right side, a pink glass lampshade can be made out.

A person with long brown hair sits on a large pillow made from two fabrics, one of them black, one white-silvery transparent with tactile elements underneath its surface. The person is wearing headphones and using one of the tablets that show the website artwork. All around, there are people moving. A pink lamp offers soft pink light.

Three large pillows invite listeners to rest and to engage with tablets with a website artwork open on them. In the open space between the pillows, a round lamp sits on the floor with some line drawings on it. The light is pink.
