Commissioned for Dysfunctionalities in Contemporary Art at EKATE Cyprus, 13 March 2021. It was initially presented as a video then discussion during the conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz-cKt_pw1I I am sitting in a Zoom is a recursive reflection on the aesthetics and politics of platform capitalism in a state of social reproductive emergency and 'polycrisis'. Among other things it attempts a brief historicisation of the history of feedback in experimental art and (post)neoliberal politics, 'grounding' the issue of cybernetics back in its real movement: de/valorisation. Commissioned for 'Dysfunctionalities in Contempory Art in Times of Conflict', a 2-day online conference organised by EKATE, Nicosia, Cyprus in March 2021.
