“The keynote will focus on practical survivalist strategies, community-building approaches, and challenges in the process of fighting for social equality, searching for a sense of [digital] belonging, reshaping identity, and protecting social rights with digital means and technologies. Among the tactics and tools to be mentioned are not only the creation of self-organised communities, but empathetic chatbots, social media groups with crowdsourced hacks and tricks, AI bots helping to solve different migration-related issues, and guerrilla chatbots for misbehavioral activist tactics helping migrants fight existing rules in the gig economy sector. The keynote will present some examples of artistic projects addressing alienation and migrant issues. Besides, it will examine the phenomena of digital ghettoisation and the challenges of the specific pre-conditioned experience of the city and culture shaped by Google services and ranking-based apps.”

Other project
“Cryptography Museum is a new and first-of-its-kind science and technology privately funded museum that opened in December 2021 in Moscow. The museum explores the topics of communication means between people, broad themes of information security, cryptography, information science, and communication ethics. Occupying the three floors of the historical building the narrative is built in the reverse chronology – from the present times (and slightly touching the future) and information era to the ancient times. Cryptography museum is multimedia, interactive, playful, and inclusive, and contains not only edutainment installations and a unique collection of historical objects but also gives significant importance to the art projects that bring critical visions on the topics of the information age, privacy, and communication in the digital age.”
