In/Human Infrastructures Symposium 21-23rd May 2026with Xenofuturism Magazine at Gossamer Fog, London
Day 2: Entangled AgenciesPerformance Lecture in collaboration with Nella Piatek


ULTRA/INFRAstructures: Landscapes of Capitalism
Industrial and computational infrastructures are not neutral technological developments, but ideological systems that reorganise agency, ecology, and temporality under capitalism. Through postindustrial landscapes and contemporary data infrastructures, this performance lecture explores how modernity continuously imposes alien architectures onto communities and environments while simultaneously producing myths of progress. 


This project was commissioned by Xeno Futurism &#38;nbsp;as part of the symposium In/Human Infrastructures at Alt_R, May 2026

Xenofuturism Magazine isa platform that facilitates critical theory applications on contemporary issues by knitting rhizomic webs between the humanities and natural sciences. Heavily inspired by the cross germinating writings of CCRU that range from Science Fiction to Kabbalistic analysis, art and culture collectives like 0rphan Drift, as well as the cyberfeminist works of Donna Haraway and Firestone.

Forest, Stone, Flesh - Spectral Traces and Bodily Archives
2025
Collaboration with Nella Piatek
Shown at&#38;nbsp;


9. Internationales Frauen Theater Festival - September 2025 &#38;nbsp;Ecofeminism - performing sustainability

In/Human Infrastructures Symposium 21-23rd May 2026with Xenofuturism Magazine at Gossamer Fog, LondonDay 2: Entangled Agencies


Forest, Stone, Flesh is an eco-feminist journey across the mythical sites of Dartmoor National Park in Cornwall. Through the process of anarchiving, the body is used as a material to access histories and to activate the few locations which carry myths that centre around women and slow violence. Anarchiving relates to the idea that sites can be understood as living archives; as such the film ‘re-animates’ local narratives to imagine alternative realities. The film is a ritual performance in which two travellers journey across the site’s past, present and future. Through the lenses of hauntology and post-humanist thought, the history and mythologies of the area are re-examined in connection to an eco-feminist approach.

This project was created as part of the Mayes Creative Residency: Creative Inspiration From An Ancient Landscape funded by the National Lottery Fund.&#38;nbsp;
