online as resistance, online as ecology
28/11/2024
Addressing the importance of gaps, glitches and in-betweens as spaces of possibility within the online realm, we focus on practitioners who inhabit the 'cracks' to create space for alternative engagement. Rather than seeking infinite growth, we consider the value of small, single serving spaces and explore resistance practices that push back against the mainstream digital landscape. We examine parallel concepts such as the poetic web, counter-collectives and dark forest theory, to uncover the unique aesthetics and values within these spaces and consider how they might intersect with critical fashion practices.
