"Algorave presents itself as a community that is open and accessible to all, yet historically, there has been a lack of diversity on both the stage and dance floor. Through women-only workshops, mentoring and other efforts at widening participation, the number of women performing at algorave events has increased. Grounded in existing research in feminist technology studies, computing education and gender and electronic music, this article unpacks how techno, social and cultural structures have gendered algorave. These ideas will be elucidated through a series of interviews with women participating in the algorave community, to centrally argue that gender significantly impacts an individual’s ability to engage and interact within the algorave community. I will also consider how live coding, as an embodied techno-social form, is represented at events and hypothesise as to how it could grow further as an inclusive and feminist practice."
the funniest one was the guy who was also selling coke, and had some very niche preferences, but was so paranoid he always got me to order the taxi for him. The taxi company used to send me his postcode and address when it dropped him off in an SMS txt.
I don't see him any more, which is good, because he was a bit of a psycho
@bob That is such a funny article! ... Just rent a server and convert your website to a different application, then write, build, install and maintain you're own analytics engine, then install these other new web apps to do video. Oh, and also do all this email synchronisation imap stuff.
