Authorship, Algorithms and Access in the Digital Commons
Presented by the Emerging Writers' Festival & Next Wave
Saturday 25 July 

As digital technologies increasingly mediate how we communicate, create and understand the world, how do we as writers respond or rebel with curiosity and criticality? How can art and language resist exploitative systems, expand access, and open up new ways of seeing, sharing and making meaning, particularly in the current climate of distortion and coercion in the digital space? 

In this half-day masterclass presented in partnership with Next Wave, join artists and writers exploring the creative possibilities of writing in networked culture through experimental, expansive and vital practices.
