Event overview
In this presentation, I will describe how my work has unfolded from the analysis of critical visuality studies into a militant research practice over the past two years. I'll demo my project about the Algerian Revolution and its place as a key site on the border between the global North and South. It was produced in Scalar, a multi-media born digital authoring software, which led me to think more closely about how I produce media, as well as describe them. Finally, I'll talk about how the interface of digital humanities and critical visuality came to shape my durational writing project called Occupy 2012 in which I write every day in regards to the Occupy movement. This is a critical project based on a performance art model in direct (inter)action with an ongoing social movement.
