Discord is a project made by a group of students as part of my labzone on the Work.Master programme at HEAD Geneva (Haute école d'art et de design).
Head invites visiting artists to come for a two year period to host a workshop on the MA program. My contract got extended to 3 years because of covid, with the majority of the first two years being online.
This project has taken its title from the online platform discord that we ended up using for a lot of our discussion.
The word also explains the lack of common ground in our ideas and interests as a group, as well as the clunky communication that the online platforms facilitate.
We started this project in 2021. When we first met we looked at each other's internet history or the things online we are constantly drawn back to, we swapped these references and made films using other people's influences and interests.
From chaos builds different rhythms
From the chaos we find the inbweteen spaces
Because of each in between the chaos becomes a rhythm
In between black and white there is all the colours
And because of these greys there is chaos
Notes made speaking to Ani
The end work is a process of negotiation as a group. We created a landing page that ties together all the works which you can then navigate away from to view individual pages and find out more about each artist and their work.
