of ties and tethers

GUEST CURATED BY

INTERACCESS for Vector Festival

InterAccess is pleased to present the screening program of ties and tethers as part of the 9th annual Vector Festival. This program is curated by María Alejandrina Coates featuring works by Christina Battle, Benjamin Chang, Aslı Dinç, Francisca Duran, Kanika Gordon, Kite, Vishal Kumaraswamy, and Maari Sugawara.

of ties and tethers explores the themes of connection and community with a focus on the pathways and platforms that form our relationships, psyches, and worldviews. This collection of works examines the structures of techno-social entanglements, drawing out the tensions between planes of connection and dissonance, between wholism and fragmentation, and between our bodies and our avatars.

of ties and tethers aims to complicate the digital structures on which we have built our worlds, and asks if we can re-formulate the possibilities for inhabiting digital spaces to bring about alternate forms of grounding with the world and with each other. What should we strengthen, and what should we sever?
