href Manifesto v2
Version 2, as published in href zine - Technoid Natures issue.
THIS HREF ZINE IS A LANDSCAPE, an assamblage, a mesh, a process, a multiplicity and a network. It emerges from contributions of people, who are moving along varying directions of gender, ethinicity and other socially constructed and enforced labels.
THE HREF ZINE IS SET WITHIN TYPES of species, ethnicities, genders and other sociallycharged labels. They are neither essential nor crucial elements of identities.
IDENTITIES ARE SYNTHESES of multiple areas in multiple infinitely continuos spectra.
THESE SPECTRA ARE NOT DIVIDED neither into clean categories, nor by rigid borders.
THE HREF ZINE DOES NOT PREDETERMINE the constellation of one’s positions in the spectra, but supports one‘s decisions to such positioning in the spectra.
POSITIONS IN THESE SPECTRA ARE FLUID compositions and can be continuously updated recombinations.
THE HREF ZINE DEVELOPS TOOLS to hack one‘s own conditions.
THE HREF ZINE RESEARCHES THE EMANCIPATORY potentials of (new) technologies.
THE HREF ZINE IS NOT A SHORT CIRCUIT and aims at diffusing techno-feminist and ecological thoughts into artistic practices.
THIS HREF ZINE FOCUSES ON EARTH as a common ground for interspecies societies.
THE HREF ZINE ACKNOWLEDGES AND APPRECIATES INDIGENOUS SCIENCES AND KNOWLEDGES and researches the bonds of its own Thoughts to Places and Places to Thoughts.
THE HREF ZINE CONSIDERS MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGIES AS AN INHERENT PRACTICE OF THE BODY, projected onto the body, embedded into the body and as a tool to reimagine the body and its concepts.
THE HREF ZINE THINKS NATURE AS FLUID and unjust.
THE HREF ZINE IS A COLLECTION OF SYNTHETIZATIONS of the natural and at the same time understands the artificial as inherently natural.
THE HREF ZINE EMBRACES COMPLEXITIES, AMBIGUITIES AND CONTRADICTIONS as possible grounds for careful negotiations.
Functioning as two main things - as a manifestation of our approaches, methods, our position and topics on the one hand, and as a tool to summarize and introduce important aspects of the critical, feminist theories, we dive into - this manifesto will be continously updated. At least each new issue of the href zine, will bring an update of this manifesto.
