| <nettime> Digital Commoning Practices" Phase1: Open Source audio stream by Station of Commons/ Helsinki |
# Digital Commoning Practices by Station of Commons 6.-28.3.2021 https://oksasenkatu11.fi/ https://stationofcommons.org/events/digital-commoning-practices https://www.facebook.com/oksasenkatu11 https://www.facebook.com/events/1085729615259660The exhibition ”Digital Commoning Practices” departs from *Station of Commons* practice of re-appropriation of technology within public space. A practice that stands for radical alternative strategies to the neo-liberal system in terms of digital means of production, communication and distribution. "Digital Commoning Practices" starts with a question: How to think of a collaborative process embedded in technology that can find form into new knowledge and know-hows within, against and beyond capitalist modes of production?
"Digital commoning practices" intends to both elaborate a critical discourse on the economization process, and to reflect on digital tools development to resist, and rebel, against privatization of technological means. As activist and architect Stavros Stavrides insists commoning practices must welcome a multitude of knowledges, discourses, practices and know-hows for the emergence of commoning spaces. The dynamic at work operates as a collective and transformative effort *always in the making*. The exhibition invites artists, activists, urbanists, publishers, designers, programmers, feminists and educators to open, share their work in an Open Source way of doing and thinking.
The exhibition process produces a month long timelime to articulate different temporalities; live audio streams, lectures, discussion and workshops. This format imagines an exhbition as an intersection of eventfull temporalities more than a division of space in the traditional white cube practice. "Digital Commoning Practices" timeline develops over three phases.
The exhibition opens with the celebration of the first anniversary of the Open Source audio stream. Together with Helsinki based *N10 collective*, Station of Commons will broadcast 5 sound artists whose work has developed in absence of concert situation.
The second phase aggregates a network of activists, theorists and artists involved in physical and technological spaces. This moment intends to intersect their knowledges and practices to examine and think together commoning practices in the current hybrid spaces. This phase interrogates how digital commoning practices can come to terms with old gender stereotype and how can all technology pirates work together.
The third phase entittled "Commoning Education/Educating the Commons" discusses how can digital practices and radical education can learn from each other. Learning together from the practices of the participants we will *deploy an edifice* to initiate an operative digital commoning practice...

Phase 1: Open Source audio stream 06.03.2021 N10 Open Source audio stream: 19:00 Pahat KengätPahat Kengät is an electronic musician and composer from Finland. With their music Pahat Kengät seeks to recreate a variety of emotional states and experiences as electronic soundscapes, utilising a selection of electronic and acoustic instruments, and voice. The music itself ranges from soft drones to hectic noise, with focus always remaining on static and repetitive minimalism.t
20:00 Värvöttäjä:Värvöttäjä is a Helsinki based ambient music project that collects sounds from the environments and pieces them together into new atmospheres.
21:00 Tommi KeränenTommi Keränen is a noise maker from Helsinki. Active since the mid 1990s, he performs and records as a solo artist, and is a member of Testicle Hazard, Large Unit, Köttskogen, Gentle Evil and The Truckfuckers. He uses mainly primitive electronics and non-standard digital synthesis to create slabs of vivid swirling noise. His discography consists of over two dozen entries ranging from cryptic tapes to some critically acclaimed releases like the Bats in the Attic CD (among The Wire's Rewind picks in 2010).
22:00 Samuli Tanner:Samuli Tanner plays you some playful and drifting sci-fi music and beats with some kind of old and new machines. So it is a win-win show.
23:00 Heta Bilaletdin:Utilizing samplers, vocals, field sounds, a computer, random items and dusty four-track tapes, Heta Bilaletdin creates music concrete, sludgy beats, sugary melodies, peculiar dub and disjointed disco. Expect the unexpected and humane feelings squeezed out of electronic instruments.
OFFREAL video installation by Malin Kuht /Ground floor in gallery space.Alexander Galloway writes in his book „The Interface Effect”, that „an interface is not a thing, an interface is always an effect. It is always a process or a translation.” This effect includes how humans are affected by an interface and the way they are able to engage with a machine. OFFREAL considers interfaces as conjunctions of possibilities, histories and power relations. In OFFREAL, two virtual assistants, called Ashley and Allison, are given the ability to diffract their existence as interface(s) and their looks. In addition to the female-coded voice, many avatars are designed according to pop-cultural ideals of beauty, which raises political and representational questions. The categories race and gender remain contested in the discourse on virtual bodies. What does it mean to be human and to become human in this digital age? Human-ess and Machines meet somewhere OFF the REAL in a speculative space.
