About ADVICE WELL TAKEN
Techlore is the focus of the residency that EMAP resident artist Dasha Ilina will soon start in Utrecht. Techlore is the modern folk knowledge and contemporary folkore surrounding technology. On websites, bulletin boards and newsgroups people exchange all kinds of digital tricks, short-cuts, hacks and tech superstition. How did you save that cell phone that still was in your pocket when you jumped in the pool? What are you doing to make sure no one is spying on you via your own webcam? Making sense or being completely ridiculous, we go to great lengths to make sure we stay in charge over our devices. For her new project ADVICE WELL TAKEN: Folk tales of digital salvation Dasha Ilina wants to hear your stories, solutions and concerns. Drop by and share your techlore with us!
This work was realised within the framework of a European Media Art Platform residency program at Werkleitz (Germany) with support from the Creative Europe Culture Programme of the European Union.
