COMPILER



Compiler is a collective for digital art, curation, and critical technical
practice, implemented in institutional and alternative spaces. It is led by
Tanya Boyarkina, Oscar Cass-Darweish, and Eleanor Chownsmith.

The group’s artistic and curatorial practice investigates socio-political
challenges in digital culture, where the possibilities of digital art, curation,
learning, and research are explored as part of a process of discovery through
technological experiences. They aim to create accessible works and events
through which audiences with different levels of technical awareness can delve
deeper into digital technologies that shape day-to-day experience. Topics
covered include cybersecurity, surveillance, and environmental conditions.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US?

 * We see our works as part of a decolonial practice to equip ourselves and
   others against surveillance and other forms of control that our digital
   devices contribute to

 * Deconstructing hardware and software at points where our freedoms and
   autonomy are at stake

 * Being social-justice-driven while being playful, collaborative, engaging

 * Learning together in playful, collaborative environments

 * Showing that it is not necessary to be an expert to critically engage with
   technology

 * DIY / DIWO (do it with others) practices

 * Aesthetics of sustainable, environmentally-friendly practices with low
   computational costs

 * Getting people interested in complex topics at a basic level
