Open Sorcery Poetry with Identity Runners

Open Sorcery Poetry (OSP) is a multilingual battle-cry, a series of generative poems to be created with known accomplices, deep aliases and passing strangers.

Join Identity_Runners in the Etherpad to create new poems and spellcasts.
These ‘anchors for listening’, hexes against Power, can be hacked, weaponized, remixed, and recast.

Identity_runners trip in codes and appropriate technologies.
Identity_Runners is Diane Ludin, Agnese Trocchi and Francesca da Rimini, living in the United States, Italy, Australia. Since the late 1990s they have interweaved their playing using various Internet protocols. Today they refuse the dictatorship of social networks. They don’t believe the rhetoric of gamified social platforms. Instead, they seek out the liminal, the spaces between the singularities that patriarchy and capitalism define and operate under.

They have created OSP for the Digital Power: Activism, Advocacy And The Influence Of Women Online* exhibition for ACM SIGGRAPH.
