NELLA PIATEK
A a multimedia chronicle of a coven, materialised through performances, films and haunted operating systems. Through the lens of ecofeminism, cyberfeminism, and posthumanism, Nella reflect on how myths can offer insight into contemporary archives, impermanence, and hauntology.
The alter-ego, Xris and the clan of cyberwitches and eco-priestesses, offers a perspective on how sites can be perceived as living archives. Anarchiving or ‘re-animation’ of these archives offers the opportunity to unveil the forgotten, often hidden narratives and failed futures that deserve existence as an alternative reality. Such a perspective offers a vessel to embody a voice against the consumptive relationship of the human species with nature and a figure that challenges the cyborgist behaviour already present in our everyday interactions with information technology.
