Break The Algorithm by WORM X AMARTE

4projects=4rooms
On December 13th, join WORM and Amarte Foundation for the second time, for an immersive night where art, performance, and club culture collide. This special event will feature four bold projects that challenge the hidden codes shaping creativity, rhythm, and everyday life.
WORM opens all of its spaces:: from our #Wunderbar through S/ash Gallery, UBIK theatre space and the Central Room for its visitors.
During this multidisciplinary day/night we introduce you the following collectives and their works:
COME AT 19:00 TO SEE EACH OF THEM, THE EVENT ONLY TICKETED AFTER 23:00 (for the club night)
Tune into Sonic Feminist Fabulations, an experimental publication blending radio, tarot, AI, and South American sound art to envision an anti-colonial future.
Explore the concept of surveillance with Camera Self-Surveillance, an exhibition where CCTV cameras and recognition algorithms interact in real-time, blurring the boundaries between control and observation.
Experience FOOLS, a performance that challenges gender norms through the power of ballroom culture and queer expression.
Dance into the future with ìpọ̀sị̀n’s peace, a Queer Afrofuturist club night celebrating the Queer & Trans BIPOC community through sound, visuals, and movement.

Sonic feminist Fabulation @Radio, The Boog & Foyer
Sonic Feminist Fabulations (SFF), is an experimental online radio format that unfolds extending the aural and oral properties of radiophonic art into the participative and affective aspects of sonic performance. Through one-off live broadcast events, Sonic Feminist Fabulations (SFF), engage with sounds, voices and silences that speak of displacement and diasporic (ecological) memories, inviting the contributions of femme-female global south artists.

‘FOOLS’ Dance theater performance @UBIK Theatre
Project Fools’ titled: Work in progress – " A dance project as a system in the Grid. "
You are welcome to enter this digital world where new routes reveal themselves. Here, society’s rebels and outcasts break free from within. Who are they, and what is their true nature in this tech-driven realm? There is only one rule in this game: “Keep strutting, and when stopped… hit that reset button to start all over.” Just remember that a true revolution has no script. That is how we will unravel beyond the binary in unexpected forms.

‘Camera Self-Surveillance’ Installation/Exhibition @S/ash Gallery
An algorithm is both an apparatus that facilitates a network and a logic that governs how things are done in it. For us, an algorythm reflects the increasing needs of a society of control and capture. The capture of bodies, nonhumans, and gestures; for everything fits in a box, and every object becomes part of a class. Such is the self-centered mode of operation in contemporary computation that there is a dataset for everything but there is little on surveillance cameras. ‘Camera Self-Surveillance’ is an installation composed of multiple screens, CCTV cameras and our own recognition algorithm trained on surveillance cameras. Every camera scans and looks for other cameras, where a complex image composition is seen on scattered screens.

‘ìpọ̀sìn’s peace’ Club night concept @Rotterdam Central Station
ìpọ̀sìn’s peace is a collective of creative, Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (QTBIPOC) that create spaces for other QTBIPOC, centring Black marginalized genders. Ìpọ̀sìn means ‘outcast’ or ‘least liked’ in the Yoruba language. By reclaiming this word we are embracing the fact that we won’t always fit into society and instead have the opportunity of making our own spaces. In 2023 we started organizing as a collective and have hosted frequent movie nights, arts & crafts afternoons, reading groups, talking groups, fundraisers and parties. In the future we see ourselves having a creative community center, helping people with finding professional help, organizing lectures, hosting retreats and much more. Ìpọ̀sìn’s peace is currently based in Rotterdam but we hope to grow into a worldwide community.
