Chaline Bang will have a short residency, under the name If my phone is so smart, why am I only doing dumb stuff with it? in servus.at from 23.04.2025 to 30.04.2025 as part of the Culture Moves Europe Mobility project funded by the Goethe-Institut. During her stay, Chaline will explore the practice of permacomputing and how to reappropriate a smartphone device with PostmarketOS. Her residency includes two events open to the public:
_> Collective smartphone liberation Session (with PostmarketOS)
The session arises from the joint work of Permacomputing Evening (PMCe), a small research group working on permacomputing, with practical techniques, aesthetic approaches and the organization of public events in collaboration with external researchers.
::When:: Saturday, 26. April, 14:00–18:00
