• FORMAT: Online meetings and downloadable resources.

• LENGHT: 6 meetings.

• REGISTRATIONS: Open until August 07 (2nd edition of the workshop). 

• LIMITED PLACES.

1- PROPOSAL

 Faced with the speculative, erratic and dysfunctional search of the being in times of collective dissociation and generative anxieties, the beauty of error will know how to tempt us in more than one way as an option at least transitory in the vision of each one who observes enough in the abyss of glitches and errors of the matrix. Aesthetic genres such as glitchcore, dreamcore and weirdcore share a certain look at error and sometimes horror. But above all towards the unknown, towards realities that seem to be broken or interfered and towards what disorients, challenges and reduces the being who observes his purest and sometimes more hidden and primitive nature. Errors that, from this workshop we intend to learn to observe, generate and enjoy within a digital space designed and optimized for its objectives.

• The proposal consists of a series of 6 online meetings during which we explore the genres mentioned, exchange ideas and techniques of digital creation of both image and video and also some audio.

• The workshop includes the realization of a final project carried out together by the participants entitled "liminal glitchcore", which will serve as a record of the activities carried out during the workshop and will be published and archived in digital gallery format on the website nikpepsi.art

• The present workshop is open to participants from all over the world but it is limited to spanish and english speakers only. We will be using a system of live translation within the meetings to communicate between languages, so the participants can speak in their native language and understand easily between each other.

2- OBJECTIVES

1. To promote and contribute to artistic, creative and (why not?) Spirituality of the participants through guided practice and reflection of our digital production.

2. To promote and contribute to the development and reproduction of independent and critical ideas and thinking, aimed at expanding individual and collective awareness and expression.
