My thoughts on this #ManilaBulletin article "La Salle Dasma SHS to offer electives on Taylor Swift, SpongeBob", written by Carla Bauto Deña: https://mb.com.ph/2024/1/15/la-salle-dasma-shs-to-offer-electives-on-taylor-swift-sponge-bob
I feel like this is a waste of time. Yes it is an #elective. But this is too specific. Why #TaylorSwift? Why not #ChesterBennington, who arguably has inspired a whole generation too with his #numetal songs at #LinkinPark?
It just doesn't make sense why you'd focus on one specific #celebrity, or show like #Spongebob.I'd rather have #electives for subjects like #Japanese #doujin culture, which may be equivalent to "#indie creator" culture in the #West (but #doujins are not always exactly indie). It's both broad enough and specific. You can talk about the #Touhou phenomenon in the mid-2000s and early 2010s, the #fanworks of established media franchises, the #music, and of course, the erotic works which unfortunately became representative of the word in the West. It's not even applicable only to #HUMSS in #SHS; those who will take #IT and #CS courses in #college may find this elective useful for them too (#ZUN, the creator of Touhou, was a #ComputerScience #student when he developed the first five #2hu games for the #PC98).
Let's stop with this nonsensical glorification of #consumer culture from the West, and learn more from our #Asian neighbors instead!!

Decay and Desire / bb15 x AMRO / Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour
bb15 – space for contemporary art, Thursday, May 14 at 05:00 PM GMT+2
Decay and Desire
bb15 x AMRO FestivalThe exhibition is part of AMRO26 - Art Meets Radical Openness Festival, which will take place in Linz from 13 to 16 May 2026.
Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour on Thursday 14th May at 17:00
(Soft opening 14th May at 10:00)
Opening hours: 14. – 16. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Everyday, 10:00-19:00)
18. – 22. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Tue-Sat, 15:00-18:00)Two immersive installations by jiawen uffline and by Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan from Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory blur nature's irrational forces with institutional critique and artivism. Both works invite visitors to participate in order to activate them. The exhibition explores ideas of communication and sustainability and create a parallel realm where visitors gain agency.
The works in the exhibition connect questions of interaction, maintenance and yearning with nature as medium, as channel of transmission, and as a site through which existing structures can be transferred into subversive and irrational forms.
Exhibiting artists: Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan (Ljudmila) & jiawen uffline

Sourdough #3 (Workshop, lecture, listening session)
Störkoordinaten, Openness and Site-sourcing: Thinking Through Local Data with Evamaria Müller, Lale Rodgarkia-Dara, Sarah Wilhelmy from Mz*Baltazar’s Lab
::When:: Fri., 12 Dec. // 15:00–18:00:
::Where:: servus.at Clubraum. c/o Stadtwerkstatt, Kirchengasse 4, 4040 Linz
If we imagine ourselves as a kind of technology, we can see Mz*Baltazar's as a group (source) with both thematic and physical locations (sites with more or less openness). How can we extend various available resources to examine our own functionality? What kinds of signals are present around us? Three short presentations in different formats explore signals, sounds, (possible) reciprocities and future-questions. Quantitative, qualitative and embodied data are critically examined and woven together in search of future-questions about human and nonhuman participation.BIO
Mz*Baltazar’s Lab aims at generating a culture of fearless making! An environment that fosters creativity, activism and provocative thinking! We try to build an accessible, inclusive, open, safer and radical space, from which to evolve as people and as community. Open Source Technology is at the root of our philosophy, it enables us to share and collaborate without restrictions. We need this space to experiment with things as gender, hardware or our selves.

Wie können wir verschiedene verfügbare Ressourcen erweitern, um unsere eigene Funktionalität zu untersuchen? Welche Arten von Signalen sind um uns herum präsent? Drei kurze Präsentationen in unterschiedlichen Formaten erkunden Signale, Klänge, (mögliche) Wechselseitigkeiten und Zukunftsfragen. Quantitative, qualitative und verkörperte Daten werden kritisch betrachtet und miteinander verflochten, um Zukunftsfragen über menschliche und nicht-menschliche Teilhabe zu stellen.

Mz*Baltazar’s Lab hat das Ziel, eine Kultur des furchtlosen Machens zu schaffen! Eine Umgebung, die Kreativität, Aktivismus und provokatives Denken fördert!

AMRO26 / Art Meets Radical Openness / Becoming Unreadable

Linz, AustriaAMRO26:
Becoming unreadableArt Meets Radical Openness
Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open CultureArt Meets Radical Openness is a biennial community festival for art, hacktivism and open cultures. It provides a space for discussion and resistance against technological monoculture, and for sharing and learning together on contemporary issues of our networked times.
The current techno-political moment is dominated by AI and by the strengthening of the alliance between big tech and conservative politics, as well as a blind faith in endless computational growth. All of this relies on forms of “hyper-visibility”, based on the assumption that a constant online omnipresence is normal and desirable. Our interconnectedness forms the basis of mainstream digital cultures and serves as a tool for ubiquitous surveillance and the exploitative appropriation of works and data by big tech, which demands critical opposition.
For its 2026 edition, titled ‘Becoming Unreadable’, AMRO invites its community to reflect on and engage with invisibility, unreadability, ungovernability, and uncomputability as strategies for resistance.. AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, explores approaches that offer real change: low-tech, feminist and community IT, computing within limits, up to even more radical ideas around de-computing, de-networking, de-scaling and de-platforming ourselves. 'Becoming Unreadable' involves evading surveillance by oligarchic tech corporations, operate under the radar, and refuse to comply to the total AI cloud. Non-commercial community infrastructures are fundamental tools in this process, but even more importantly we need to develop new ways of understanding each others and being together as humans. Art Meets Radical Openness wants to be a space dedicated to that.

ABOUT AMRO
AMRO, Art Meets Radical Openness, is a festival, a platform and a community for art, hacktivism and open cultures, organized since 2008 by servus.at in cooperation with the Linz University of Art, Department of Time-Based Media and Visual Communcation.“Art Meets Radical Openness” brings together local and international artists, activists, developers, researchers and hacktivists involved with the culture of sharing and communal production. They are catalysts that spark new discourses and open up new directions of thinking. Free Open Source Software, open tools in general and the use of free licenses are the precondition and basis for the digital practice of a community like this, which impels social transformation.

Non-commercial community infrastructures are fundamental tools in this process, but even more importantly we need to develop new ways of understanding each others and being together as humans. Art Meets Radical Openness wants to be a space dedicated to that.

AMRO26 / Art Meets Radical Openness / Becoming Unreadable
afo - architekturforum oberösterreich, Wednesday, May 13 at 10:00 AM GMT+2
13. – 16. May 2026
Linz, AustriaAMRO26:
Becoming unreadableArt Meets Radical Openness
Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open CultureArt Meets Radical Openness is a biennial community festival for art, hacktivism and open cultures. It provides a space for discussion and resistance against technological monoculture, and for sharing and learning together on contemporary issues of our networked times.
The current techno-political moment is dominated by AI and by the strengthening of the alliance between big tech and conservative politics, as well as a blind faith in endless computational growth. All of this relies on forms of “hyper-visibility”, based on the assumption that a constant online omnipresence is normal and desirable. Our interconnectedness forms the basis of mainstream digital cultures and serves as a tool for ubiquitous surveillance and the exploitative appropriation of works and data by big tech, which demands critical opposition.
For its 2026 edition, titled ‘Becoming Unreadable’, AMRO invites its community to reflect on and engage with invisibility, unreadability, ungovernability, and uncomputability as strategies for resistance.. AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, explores approaches that offer real change: low-tech, feminist and community IT, computing within limits, up to even more radical ideas around de-computing, de-networking, de-scaling and de-platforming ourselves. 'Becoming Unreadable' involves evading surveillance by oligarchic tech corporations, operate under the radar, and refuse to comply to the total AI cloud. Non-commercial community infrastructures are fundamental tools in this process, but even more importantly we need to develop new ways of understanding each others and being together as humans.

Decay and Desire
bb15 x AMRO FestivalThe exhibition is part of AMRO26 - Art Meets Radical Openness Festival, which will take place in Linz from 13 to 16 May 2026.
Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour on Thursday 14th May at 17:00
(Soft opening 14th May at 10:00)
Opening hours: 14. – 16. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Everyday, 10:00-19:00)
18. – 22. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Tue-Sat, 15:00-18:00)Two immersive installations by jiawen uffline and by Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan from Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory blur nature's irrational forces with institutional critique and artivism. Both works invite visitors to participate in order to activate them. The exhibition explores ideas of communication and sustainability and create a parallel realm where visitors gain agency.
The works in the exhibition connect questions of interaction, maintenance and yearning with nature as medium, as channel of transmission, and as a site through which existing structures can be transferred into subversive and irrational forms.
Exhibiting artists: Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan (Ljudmila) & jiawen uffline
