In their work, Aay Liparoto acknowledges our interdependence with technology for information, work, sex, entertainment, socializing, health care, and everything in between. What does this mean for queer feminist bodies, which rely on DIY information exchange? Housed in a “void pod,” this speculative choir piece is created through workshops with HOT BODIES – CHOIR, a queer, LGBTQIA+, and feminist choir based in Brussels. Cocooned in light and sound, the singers’ voices invite us to reflect upon the power and politics of online spaces. The artwork is informed by Liparoto’s research and Not Found On—a nonpublic wiki cocreated through workshops with, by, and for feminist queer bodies to record and exchange knowledge. The accompanying publication chronicles the collective thinking behind the project.
