A lot to learn from this project about the kind of language we use when discussing media. At Memory Insufficient over the past year we've been problematising "virtual" a fair bit, and this language of "unfixed" from disability activism in/through the arts seems to hold a lot of promise.
In September, we welcomed the Unfixed artists to spend a week in the Pervasive Media Studio to further investigate the notion of a ‘fixed’ and an ‘unfixed’ body. With the controversial ‘superhuman’ and ‘disabled’ rhetoric surrounding the Rio Paralympics recently filling our media, dedicating time and energy to explore the intersection of arts, disability and technology from an artistic perspective seems timely.
