Abstract / Summary

‘Will Internets eat brain?’ is a video-essay performance commissioned by MAP Magazine for Glasgow Film Festival 2017 funded by Creative Scotland.
The video-essay performance investigates performative assemblage, speculative fictions and copy culture in relation to digital technology, the body and the Internet.
The work takes up queer feminist practices as a methodology to investigate viral narratives shared via search engine algorithm and everyday Internet interactions. The speculative, performative and material forms of ‘Will Internets eat brain?’ consider wilfully undisciplined, messy approaches highlighting multiplicity, iteration and otherness. The video-essay is constructed as a series of cut ups and fragmented narratives that upset and bend any singular discursive argument, linearity or chronological space/time logic.

The work was subsequently developed for the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice published by Intellect. 2018
Edited by Susannah Thompson and Laura Edbrook.
Katrina Palmer, Laurence Figgis, Gillian Wylde, Joanne Tatham, Lindsay Seers, Elizabeth Reeder, Amanda Thomson, Laura Edbrook and Susannah Thompson.

The Journal was launched with the event: Art Writing, Paraliterature & Intrepid Forms of Practice on Thursday 22nd November 2018, 6-7.30pm, CCA, Glasgow.
