SUMMARY:Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon!
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 23\, 2018\n2–7pm\nFree and open to the public\nRSVP here \nSqueaky Wheel will host an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to take place 2-7pm on Saturday\, June 23\, 2018 at 617 Main St\, Buffalo\, NY. This all-day event is designed to improve coverage of women\, gender\, feminism\, and the arts on Wikipedia. \nWhy we edit? Less than 10% of editors on Wikipedia are women. Wikipedia is the largest and most popular general reference work on the internet with more than 40 million articles in more than 250 different languages. The fact is when we don’t tell our stories or participate in the ways our history is preserved\, it gets erased. Let’s build our local contribution to the movement! \nWe provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian\, ongoing editing support\, reference materials\, childcare\, and refreshments. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate\, particularly transgender and cisgender women. \nSqueaky Wheel invites back Toronto artist and Wikipedian extraordinaire Zeesy Powers to facilitate tutorials and discussions. This summer\, we are also excited to host Heather Gring\, archivist at the Burchfield Penney Art Center\, who will be speaking about the woman artists in their collection. \nIf you require childcare\, please email caitcoder@gmail.com with the first names of children requiring care\, their ages\, and what time you plan on attending. \nPlease create a Wikipedia account before the event\, click here to learn how! And remember during the event to hashtag and post online so everyone around the world can see what you’re working on: #artandfeminism #noweditingaf @squeakybuffalo . \nAbout the instructor\nZeesy Powers is an interdisciplinary artist. She teaches programs for digital illustration\, animation and video through community groups in Toronto\, and facilitates workshops on contributing to Wikipedia as part of the Art+Feminism edit-a-thons. During her 2017 National Artist-in-Residence at the Toronto Animated Image Society\, she produced This Could be You\, an interactive piece exploring practices of confinement in VR. She has performed and exhibited internationally\, and has been artist-in-residence at CCA Kitakyushu (Japan)\, Palomar5 (Berlin)\, the Banff New Media Institute\, and Studio XX (Montreal). In Toronto\, Powers has worked on several community-based project with children and youth in partnership with organizations like UrbanArts\, Axis Music and the Toronto Public Library. Currently\, she is working on a Canada Council and Chalmers Fellowship funded project on how consumer surveillance impacts how we relate to ourselves and others. She lives in Toronto.

SUMMARY:Yvette Granata | #d8e0ea: post-cyberfeminist datum
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, June 15\, 7–9pm\nConversation with Yvette Granata and Maiko Tanaka at 7:30pm.\nOn view through August 25\, 2018\, Tue–Sat\, 12–5pm\nFree and open to the public\n \nSee a review of the exhibition in Canadian Art magazine here.\nSee a review of the exhibition in Buffalo Rising here. \nSqueaky Wheel is proud to present the first solo exhibition of media theorist/artist Yvette Granata. The exhibition poses the concept of a ‘post-cyberfeminist datum’ as a type of data that has been banned in the future. Works in the show include performance video works\, immersive 360 videos\, AI devices in conversation with each other\, and more. \nJoin us on Friday\, June 15th for the opening reception of the exhibition at Squeaky Wheel at 7pm. A newly commissioned essay on Granata’s work by scholar Bogna M. Konior accompanies the exhibition. \nPublic programs presented as part of this exhibition\nJune 15\, 7–9pm: Opening reception\, with conversation between Yvette Granata and Maiko Tanaka at 7:30pm.\nJune 29\, 7pm: Performance: XENOYOGA((I REALLY WANT SOME)) by DJ xenoyoga\nJuly 6\, 9pm: Locative Media Tour with Yvette Granata at secret site. RSVP here.\nAugust 18\, 3pm: Curator’s Tour with Ekrem Serdar of d8e0ea \n\nThere is no freedom celebrated here. Everything is deliberate\, made to function within the same constraints evoked by the materials: disease\, depression\, fear\, fever\, bondage\, torture\, addiction\, the life of “a one-legged glowingly beautiful ex-whore. . .” It’s a far cry from the corporate dream of a cheerful interactivity which lets users choose\, not lose control. . . She isn’t making pictures: these are diagrams. She isn’t an artist\, but a software engineer. —Sadie Plant (Zeros and Ones) \nCan we exploit the fact that our techno-social systems suck? Or is the future already prescribed by the obsessive intrusion of social media platforms\, machine recognition bias\, and the AI arms race to come? \nData is no longer just captured; it is used to predict a particular slice of the future\, to move beyond the 180 degree limit of human linear space-time. Social intelligence is now energy intelligence. Everyone is a data farm. Machine learning systems consume vasts amount of data in order to learn the decisional arc of human-mindsteps. But are we building data walls that make intel-silos? Are we building AI assistant gender-tyrants? Are recognition systems making us into boring products for a shelf? What can we do with the empty silos of this data wasteland? \nThe show thinks through these questions by positing (and depositing) a cyberfeminist data form. It imagines electronic torture chambers in the future used for the policing of data-bodies and poses the concept of a post-cyberfeminist datum as a type of data that has already been banned in the future. From the age of technological reproduction to the age of data reduction\, the topology of cyber-feminist data bytes are an endless VR day\, confined and trapped already. \nWorks include: a webVR essay that explores Google’s Machine Vision API in a fictional cyberfeminist design office\, a series of dead drops that contain intersectional cryptographic syn-sets for machine learning models for training future non-targets (human-bots and/or creatures-fems and/or slime-minds)\, a cyberfem sound sculpture of an AI named ‘Evie’ in conversation with Siri and Alexa (broadcast on the sidewalk)\, and a secret exploration of a possible factory. \n#D8e8ea thinks through a possible fall-out shelter for social intelligence\, a new information ontology that re-spins humans and data\, and performs an interface of zero a user-experience. – Yvette Granata \nYvette Granata.

Konior \n‘Hiding the self through a faithful mapping of the universe is the only path to eternity.’ – Liu Cixin  \nIt was women’s fingers that enfolded the data-corpse into the fabric of the world. Sadie Plant tells us that these fingers are like a spider’s spinnerets\, extruding digital silk\, weaving the history of networked technology\, which at its core is a cunning practice of emasculation: ‘cyberspace is out of man’s control\, [it] destroys his identity…at the peak of his triumph\, the culmination of his machinic erections\, man confronts the system he built for his own protection and finds it female and dangerous.’ For Plant\, man sentenced himself to annihilation when he let the feminine hydra of digital technology out of its black box. Now\, it is everywhere\, slyly completing its task. \n \nCyberfeminism is an occult form of warfare. It understands about ‘cyberspace’ what Liu Cixin’s ‘dark forest’ theory understands about the cosmos: all existence is determined by hostility and so the highest form of intelligence lies in occluding one’s coordinates. The hypothesis explains why the universe\, statistically full of life\, is dead silent. It is not because\, as is commonly thought\, life has not found a way to communicate\, but because it understands that silence is the most advanced form of intelligence. Our physical and virtual spaces\, which are increasingly inseparable\, are alike a dark forest\, where every step must be taken with care\, as revealing one’s existence portends annihilation. The most desirable skill\, the most coveted trick\, and the most longed for disposition can only be this – a fluency in the trading of secrets. The skills we need to strategically deploy concealment\, de-concealment and re-concealment.  \nIn this secrecy lies a genealogy of a post-cyberfeminism that always has been: an ancestral politics of cyberspace. Any feminism is a practice of genealogy but also of desecration – so much technical knowledge has been buried and its practitioners eliminated that a post-cyberfeminist must engage in the excavation\, encoding and decoding of data-corpses\, buried in wet soil of the earth and in the knots of submarine communication cables. \nDecrypting ancestral secrecy trade and a cyberfeminist ancestry\, one might find the corpse of Caterina Sforza\, the progenitrix of the Medici family and one of the women who defined the burgeoning scientific culture of the Italian Renaissance. Remembered for her military genius and personal bravado (in response to an enemy threatening her with the death of her children\, she grabbed her crotch and retorted that she could easily make more)\, she held a keen interest in the trading of secrets\, especially pertaining to natural philosophy\, medicine and alchemy. In Daughters of Alchemy\, Meredith Ray describes the specular economy of secrecy in the early modern Italy\, where secrets circulated in letters\, manuscripts – libri di segreti – and through word of mouth. Secrets were a valued gift and a fitting expression of loyalty.  \nThis arcane internet was a networked web of secrets\, where the exchange of occult data between women formed a clandestine practice of science. From beauty recipes to alchemical attempts at the transmutation of matter into gold (believed to mirror the forming of a fetus in the womb)\, Sforza’s research into concealed knowledge served her in military\, intellectual and political endeavors. In her notebooks\, never intended for publication\, she recorded recipes for poisons distilled from scorpion venom as well as instructions for concealing written text with slowly disappearing\, ‘invisible’ ink. This non-formal practice of science was a way of interacting with the unknown not for its presupposed sanctity but its pragmatic utility. \nSecrets\, Ray writes\, were synonymous with experimentation\, ‘referring not to something unknown but rather to something that was proven.’ The most prized secrets were those that\, when deployed\, produced the desired results. A post-cyberfeminist secret is the proven unknown that loses none of its stealth: a secret is the instruction built for calculated obfuscation\, a mechanism of encryption. Books of secrets\, Ray tells us\, could be deciphered according to a ‘generic code\,’ meant for distinguishing valuable information from mere noise. Reading\, writing\, and circulating libri di segreti was a form of data analysis\, a structural technique of (de)classifying information\, contingent on maintaining the balance between obfuscation and analysis.  \nThis cryptic practice of science was also an alternate economy. Secrets were a non-monetary currency used to establish debt and political influence. This specular economy of occluded knowledge built extended social\, technical and publishing networks between women during the Scientific Revolution. Camilla Erculiani\, an apothecary from Padua\, attracted the attention of the Inquisition for her visibly public contribution to the scientific community and her heretical interpretation of theology. She later found protection with Anna Jagiellon\, the queen of Poland\, herself an intellectual and a potion mistress. Women’s work is a priori heretical by the very fact of its existence. Secrecy thus becomes a necessary form\, both in the web of political life and in the approach to technology and knowledge. Post-cyberfeminist data is a priori banned in the future and exists in a banished land. Predicting its own illegality\, it nevertheless codes a possibility: une autre fin du monde est possible (another end of the world is possible)\, as an anonymous French graffiti recently proclaimed. What post-cyberfeminist data has been already imprisoned in the future?  \nErculiani’s interest was in the material fabric of the world: ‘the causes of the universal deluge\, the composition of rainbows.’  \nAmong Caterina’s medicinal recipes [were] a number of distilled waters\, unguents\, and elixirs produced through alchemical procedures such as multiplication\, a kind of progressive distillation whereby a substance assumes greater and more diverse powers during the course of preparation. \nEncrypting data could be for a post-cyberfeminism a pata-political model. Just like pata-physics is a science of the imaginary realm beyond philosophical metaphysics\, pata-politics is a political science of the coming data-wasteland\, beyond current political practices. Treated as non-existent and excluded from history\, women’s technology endures both in its erased past and its banned future. These technologies do not promise liberation – they instead assure our survival. Post-cyberfeminist data is a type of camouflage: an ancestral practice now augmented and automated with algorithmic technologies. From its genealogy of secrecy into the future\, it mutates and updates itself: what once was a book of secrets now becomes machine vision\, a camera for algorithmic secrecy.♦      \nBibliography  \nEvans\, Claire L.

SUMMARY:Chris Marker’s Level Five
DESCRIPTION:Laura\, a French programmer\, is tasked with creating a video game about the Battle of Okinawa. Using the internet to conduct her research she is led down a rabbit hole of philosophical debates\, while she tries to make sense of her own history in relation to human history. \nReleased when the internet was still in its infancy\, Level Five (104min\, 1997) offers a startlingly prophetic vision of the ability to archive and alter history\, while probing the limitations of human memory. The film is a mesmerizing and utterly unique hybrid of documentary and science fiction. Curated with an introduction by Squeaky Wheel’s Fall 2018 Curatorial Intern James Werick. Courtesy of Icarus Films. \n Preview \nBio of the curator\nJames Werick graduated from the University at Buffalo in 2017\, with a BA in Media Study. In addition\, he spent one semester in 2017 at Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka\, Japan. He is currently writing a film script\, and working at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library.

SUMMARY:Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon!
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nRSVP here \nSqueaky Wheel will host an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to take place 2-7pm on Saturday\, March 3\, 2018 at 617 Main St\, Buffalo\, NY. This all-day event is designed to improve coverage of women\, gender\, feminism\, and the arts on Wikipedia. \nWhy we edit? Less than 10% of editors on Wikipedia are women. Wikipedia is the largest and most popular general reference work on the internet with more than 40 million articles in more than 250 different languages. The fact is when we don’t tell our stories or participate in the ways our history is preserved\, it gets erased. Let’s build our local contribution to the movement! \nWe provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian\, ongoing editing support\, reference materials\, childcare\, and refreshments. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate\, particularly transgender and cisgender women. \nSqueaky Wheel invites back Toronto artist and Wikipedian extraordinaire Zeesy Powers to facilitate tutorials and discussions. New this year is a collaboration with the Albright Knox Art Gallery\, who will provide reference materials on the artists featured in their exhibition We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women\, 1965–85 (on view from February 16–May 27). \nIf you require childcare\, please email caitcoder@gmail.com with the first names of children requiring care\, their ages\, and what time you plan on attending. \nPlease create a Wikipedia account before the event\, click here to learn how! And remember during the event to hashtag and post online so everyone around the world can see what you’re working on: #artandfeminism #noweditingaf @squeakybuffalo . \nThis event is co-presented with Peach Mag\, with partnership support from Buffalo State College’s Women & Gender Studies Interdisciplinary Minor\, UB Department of Art\, and UB Department of Media Study. Thank you to our sponsors at the Western New York Book Arts Center & Tipico Coffee. \nAbout the instructor\nZeesy Powers is an interdisciplinary artist. She teaches programs for digital illustration\, animation and video through community groups in Toronto\, and facilitates workshops on contributing to Wikipedia as part of the Art+Feminism edit-a-thons. During her 2017 National Artist-in-Residence at the Toronto Animated Image Society\, she produced This Could be You\, an interactive piece exploring practices of confinement in VR.

SUMMARY:belit sağ : Let Me Remember
DESCRIPTION:Download the brochure with new essays by Almudena Escobar López and Chi-hui Yang \nSqueaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center presents Let Me Remember\, the first solo exhibition of artist and videoactivist belit sağ (Netherlands/Turkey) in North America. Comprised of five new video installations\, Let Me Remember functions as an investigation into the state of being racialized in Europe\, taking a series of brutal murders by the German National Socialist Underground (NSU) as its context. The NSU was a terror group that killed ten people and planted bombs in migrant neighborhoods between 2000–2008. German media reports at the time ignored the racial motivations of their violence.\n \nbelit sağ’s work explores how media imagery can render the visibility (and invisibility) of personhood in a personal and essayistic form. The works in Let Me Remember bring together archival footage of the NSU’s victims\, images of objects from the crime scenes\, and transcripts of the trials made by local activist groups to ask questions on how white supremacy and whiteness in a European context affect and change narratives. Squeaky Wheel is proud to present the first North American exhibition of this emerging artist\, and bring to the public the acuity with which sağ questions the role of media. \nJoin us on Friday January 19th for the opening reception of the exhibition at Squeaky Wheel at 7pm and don’t miss a public conversation between the artist and Jasmina Tumbas at 7:30pm. Two newly commissioned essays on the belit sağ’s work by Almudena Escobar López and Chi-hui Yang also accompany the exhibition. Squeaky Wheel members are invited to a special VIP between 6–7pm with complimentary wine and refreshments. \nLet Me Remember is presented in collaboration with The Flaherty as part of the Flaherty NYC program COMMON VISIONS\, programmed by Almudena Escobar López & Herb Shellenberger. \n  \n \nbelit sağ. overexposed\, HD video (2017)\n  \n \nbelit sağ. overexposed\, installation view (2017)\n  \nAbout the Artists and Contributors \nbelit sağ is a videomaker and visual artist living in Amsterdam.

Her video background is rooted in video-activist groups in Ankara and Istanbul\, where she co-initiated projects like karahaber.org (2000-2007) and bak.ma (a growing online audiovisual archive of social movements in Turkey). Her recent video work focuses on ‘the violence of representation’ and ‘representation of violence’. She completed residencies in Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten\, Amsterdam in 2014-2015; and International Studio and Curatorial Program\, New York in 2016.

The Seminar remains the central and defining activity of The Flaherty. Other activities include: Flaherty NYC\, a seasonal screening series showcasing innovative nonfiction media; Flaherty on the Road\, presenting films from the Seminar at venues across the country; and the preservation and distribution of Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North and Louisiana Story\, as well as audio recordings from Seminar discussions dating back to 1958.

SUMMARY:Sleeping Sickness
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 6th\, 2017\nUlrich Köhler’s Sleeping Sickness (2011)\n7pm\n$7 General | $5 Squeaky Wheel Members \nA Silver Bear winning Berlin School post-script to our series on Christian Petzold. Ebbo and Vera have lived in Africa a long time because of Ebbo’s job\, but Vera wants to return to Europe to be close to her daughter\, who is studying at a boarding school. \n“This remarkably assured third feature by the young German director Ulrich Köhler—winner of Best Director at this year’s Berlin Film Festival—transports us to Cameroon\, where German doctor Ebbo (Pierre Bokma) and his wife have spent two decades combating an epidemic of sleeping sickness in the local villages. Soon\, they will return to Europe and to lives long ago put on hold\, and this has created a crisis for Ebbo\, who\, like Joseph Conrad’s Kurtz\, has spent too much time up river to ever come back down. Meanwhile\, a young black doctor—a Frenchman born to Congolese parents—travels to Africa to evaluate the efficiency of Ebbo’s program. But when he arrives\, nothing goes according to plan\, and despite his heritage\, he feels very much a stranger in a strange land. Finally\, the two subjects of this haunting meditation on Africa’s past and future dovetail—effortlessly\, seamlessly—and the cumulative impact is stunning.” – Film Society of Lincoln Center

SUMMARY:Chantal Akerman's One Day Pina Asked...
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 29\, 2017\n7pm\n$7 General | $5 Squeaky Wheel members \nAn encounter between two of the most remarkable women artists of the 20th century\, One Day Pina Asked…(1983) is Chantal Akerman’s look at the work of choreographer Pina Bausch and her Wuppertal\, Germany-based dance company. \nIn the film\, the Belgian film director gives us an opportunity to consider Bausch’s architectural stage and complex emotional practice. Bausch’s work (as expressed in Akerman’s film) expresses a movement that encompasses both gendered violence and expressions of love\, with a kindness generated by pacing. One Day Pina Asked… gives us careful\, sharply aimed shots of stage movements\, backstage practice sequences\, and an iconic eye-to-eye closing sequence with Bausch herself. We’re invited to do more than watch a film transcription of a dance event; instead\, Akerman’s work challenges us by suggesting the interstices of the physical and the emotional\, the structured and incidental\, and the space before the curtain rises. \nCurated\, and featuring an introduction by Squeaky Wheel Curatorial Intern Colleen Stapleton. \n“Both [Bausch and Akerman] create reflective\, large-scale visual compositions that convey a powerful but ambiguous emotional intensity.” —Stephen Holden\, The New York Times

SUMMARY:Kristen Johnson's Cameraperson
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 4th\, 2017\n 7pm\n Free and open to the public \nWhat does it mean to film another person? How does it affect that person – and what does it do to the one who films? \nA boxing match in Brooklyn; life in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina; the daily routine of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment at home: these scenes and others are woven into Cameraperson (2016)\, a tapestry of footage captured over the twenty-five-year career of documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson. Through a series of episodic juxtapositions\, Johnson explores the relationships between image makers and their subjects\, the tension between the objectivity and intervention of the camera\, and the complex interaction of unfiltered reality and crafted narrative. A work that combines documentary\, autobiography\, and ethical inquiry\, Cameraperson is both a moving glimpse into one filmmaker’s personal journey and a thoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world. \nPresented by Cultivate Cinema Circle.

SUMMARY:Angela Washko | The Game: The Game 2.0
DESCRIPTION:Opening September 15\, 2017\, 7–9pm\n Conversation with Angela Washko and Stephanie Rothenberg: 7:30pm\n On view through December 9\, 2017\, Tue–Sat\, 12–5pm \nPublic Programs:\nSeptember 18\, 6pm: Angela Washko @ University at Buffalo Art Department Speaker Series\nSeptember 19\, 4pm: Angela Washko @ Digital Humanities Group at Canisius College\nOctober 28\, 2pm: Playthrough at Squeaky Wheel with Feminista Social Club \nSqueaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Pittsburgh based artist\, Angela Washko\, opening September 15th. Featuring Washko’s latest iteration of her video game The Game: The Game\, the exhibition invites audiences to engage with the world of pick-up artists from the point of view of a femme presenting person. The opening will feature a public conversation between Washko and artist Stephanie Rothenberg. A newly commissioned essay by Dorothy Santos accompanies the exhibit. Please be advised that The Game: The Game features challenging content. This game contains sexual scenarios and may not be suitable for audiences under 18\, and contains situations depicting sexual violence and non-consensual exchanges. \nThe Game: The Game is a video game presenting the practices of several prominent seduction coaches (aka pick-up artists or PUAs) through the format of a dating simulator. In the game these pick-up gurus attempt to seduce the player using their signature techniques taken verbatim from their instructional books and video materials. The game sets up the opportunity for players to explore the complexity of the construction of social behaviors around dating as well as the experience of being a femme-presenting individual navigating this complicated terrain. \n \nThe Game: The Game is a continuation of BANGED\, a two year-long project during which Angela Washko interviewed Bang series author and manosphere figurehead Roosh V\, and tried to get in contact with his alleged sexual partners. After working on BANGED\, the black and white ways in which this field has been portrayed through the media seemed too simple and unfair to all parties who encountered it and provoked this question: Is practicing “game” inherently wrong and dishonest\, or can it be practiced in a way that simply levels the dating playing field in favor of those who are otherwise socially or physically disadvantaged? By disguising the most notorious PUAs alongside “game-less” individuals and PUAs-in-training\, and placing the player into the often unsafe position of trying to distinguish between them all\, Washko hopes to add levels of complexity to public conversations around both pick-up and feminism which have both found themselves presented in highly polarized\, dichotomous positions in mainstream media. \n \n“One of the most fascinating aspects of The Game: The Game is the ability to respond to words taken verbatim from Pick-up Artist (PUA) instructionals. PUA culture may seem marginal to most\, restricted to specialized DVDs and obscure internet forums\, however interacting with The Game: The Game provides a much more subtle understanding of these social behaviors in our culture. Dating-simulators have a history of depicting disturbing behavior\, presented with a normalizing touch and from the perspective of a male; The Game: the Game\, has players embody a woman who is the target of PUA’s\, upending the genre’s conventions. The images–abstract\, dark\, with disturbing or absurd details\, and static like most dating-sims–work in tandem with Xiu Xiu’s low beats and drones to illustrate a systemic nature to the behaviors on display. Crucially\, the game’s depiction of male aggression is anything but simple. Washko’s long-term research has been about bridging communities – in this case feminists and the manosphere – to understand each other outside of their echo chambers. The multiple paths and possibilities in the game allows the player to safely explore these behaviors through replays. It’s an essential work\, giving us a nuanced view of how desire\, violence\, and complicity function in our day to day lives.” – Ekrem Serdar \nBiography of Angela Washko\nAngela Washko is an artist\, writer and facilitator devoted to creating new forums for discussions of feminism in spaces frequently hostile toward it. Since 2012\, Washko has operated The Council on Gender Sensitivity and Behavioral Awareness in World of Warcraft\, an ongoing intervention inside the most popular online role-playing game of all time. Washko’s most recent project\, The Game: The Game is a video game presenting the practices of several prominent seduction coaches (aka pick-up artists) through the format of a dating simulator.
