Lecture with Noura Tafeche
In the framework of Situations (making) #11
Open and free activity with limited capacity
Language: English with simultaneous translation into Catalan
Open lecture of the Santa Mònica collective learning and research programme Situations (making) #11 in the framework of the exhibition Boom Crash Candy Crush
As part of Situations (making), some of the people invited to the course will also give a series of public lectures that expand on the debates guiding this edition to share them with a wider audience. Taking the concept of brain rot as a starting point, these sessions will explore the relationships between contemporary digital cultures, attention economies, technological infrastructures and the forms of power that shape our everyday experience of the internet. A public programme that complements the course's collective learning process and invites reflection, from diverse perspectives, on the political, cultural and material effects of contemporary hyperconnectivity.
With the participation of Noura Tafeche
Noura Tafeche is a visual artist, onomaturge and independent researcher whose practice moves across archival methods, laboratory-based processes, video, installation, neologisms and drawing.
She graduated in New Media Art from the Brera Academy, dedicated to the fine arts, with a particular focus on net.art. However, her most formative experience has been The Influencers festival in Barcelona.
Her research explores visual culture and its techno-political entanglements, with a particular emphasis on digital militarism, online aesthetics, internet hyper-niches and non-Anglophone meme cultures.
She also examines the use of synthetic images in institutional neo-propaganda strategies.
Her research project The Politics of Rendering was awarded the Italian Council 2025–2026 grant by the Italian Ministry of Culture.
She has exhibited, lectured, and led laboratories at Aksioma (Ljubljana), Medialab Matadero (Madrid), transmediale (Berlin), Disruption Network Lab (Berlin), Fotomuseum Winterthur (Winterthur), Impakt (Utrecht), Foto Colectania (Barcelona), C/O Berlin (Berlin), Design Museum (Helsinki), Tainan Art Museum (Tainan), Tomorrow Maybe (Hong Kong), The Wrong Biennale (online), Aarhus Kunsthal (Aarhus), Triennale Milano (Milano), Pirelli Hangar Bicocca (Milano), Mattatoio (Rome), Dutch Art Institute (Arnhem), Institute of Network Cultures (Amsterdam), and the European Union Representative Centre (Al Quds, Palestine).
