Over the past 10 years, NEOZOON have uncovered plenty of speciesist behaviours through intensively studying the YouTube activities of different human groups. Join the artist duo in a desktop performance and deep dive into the networked rabbit holes that they have discovered.
In this Screen Walk Neozoon tracked down internet phenomena; they shared influencer and follower reactions; they presented ways of working and excerpts that offer a hint of how algorithms reinforce anthropocentric and environmentally destructive structures.
Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery, UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland. Screen Walks is kindly supported by: Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council.
