SAN FRANCISCO—Art Exhibition: Recoding CripTech

January 24, 2020 @ 4:00 am11:00 am

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 4:00 am on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, repeating until February 25, 2020

An art exhibition and three-part series of community events, Recoding CripTech reimagines enshrined notions of what a body can be or do through creative technologies, and how it can move, look, or communicate. As the term “crip” reclaims the word for disability culture and recognizes disability as a cultural and political identity, so too do artists hack technologies to dismantle barriers to access. By creating new kinds of social and sensory interactions with technology, these artists portend a crip aesthetic for media arts that honors the diversity of human bodies.
