SUMMARY:Rites of Algorithms
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Mara Oscar Cassiani invites participants to 
 engage in a collective experience that merges digital and physical realms\
 , exploring how algorithms typically used to shape online content and inte
 ractions can be repurposed as prompts for rituals to create moments of sha
 red reflection and connection.\n\nAt the heart of the workshop is a series
  of gifs and memes created by the artist herself\, and presented as tarot 
 cards inspired by ritual female archetypes—universal symbols that evoke 
 shared narratives and collective identities. These digital elements act as
  catalysts for group rituals that move fluidly between augmented reality a
 nd real-life interactions. \n\nThe workshop draws on Mara Oscar Cassiani
 ’s research into 'expanded rituals'—rituals that emerge from the algor
 ithmic bubbles shaping our online experiences. These bubbles generate pers
 onalised digital environments through suggested content. The artist explor
 es how traditional rituals\, often linked to specific cultural and social 
 practices\, are being reshaped and influenced by these algorithmic current
 s on the internet.\n\nThis workshop offers a participatory experience wher
 e digital art and ritual converge\, revealing how technology shapes our sh
 ared human stories. Participants will explore how algorithmic influences e
 xtend beyond the screen\, evolving into tangible and communal practices.\n
 \nNotes for the participants: The workshop involves light physical activit
 y. Please wear comfortable sneakers and sportswear\, and bring a mat to si
 t on if desired.
