Form within Graz, maya will join the #worklab_mur2025. maya is a philosophy student with a background in earth sciences, a facilitator of cultural events in Graz and non-artist of this residency. Maya’s interests include analog photography, textile artistries, despair, cinematography and solid parts of the earth.

We already introduced four exciting #worklab_mur2025 participants and Artists in Residence to you. But there are even more to come.
For instance, kamo, who will also join the five days @esc!

kamo (he/him) is a digital media artist currently based in Rotterdam. He develops situated software to explore how technology organizes togetherness, and how togetherness affects technology. This often results in tools for drawing, writing, playing music, and other visual and performative instruments. His career as an artist could be described using the trolley problem meme with the following dilemma: developing tools for yourself or developing tools for others?

Here comes artists’ introduction No.4: Our #worklab_mur2025 will be joined by Harriet!

Harriet is a creative software engineer and organiser, part of a queer tech collective called Machine Streams in Bristol, UK. They are interested in participatory, DIY and low-tech practices. In 2023 they took part in an artist residency with Control Shift and Container Magazine, creating a DIY server poem, zine and workshops exploring the concept of websites as gardens. Over the past year they have been working with Machine Streams on a series of artist workshops on queering AI. Their most recent project with Machine Streams is a series called Queer Phone, a project exploring self-hosting VoIP networks and using telephone lines as alternative networks, which was recently exhibited at the Chaos Feminist Convention.

Let‘s continue with our introductory round of artists that will join our this year #worklab_mur2025 which will start on 1st of December: the collective eeefff!

eeefff (Minsk/Berlin) is artistic cooperation / made-up institution / cybernetic political brigade / poetic computations / hacking unit / queer time. It is neither one of these, nor all together. Active from 2013. The group works with emotions and affects shaped by technologies and critically explores digital labour, value extraction, and community formation. Methods include: public actions, online interventions, performative seminars, software, and hardware hacking, framing environments, and choreographing social situations.

More info can be found on their website: https://eeefff.org/ Mastodon: @eeefff@tldr.nettime.org

The second artist we want to introduce as a participant of the #worklab_mur2025 is Carmen Pomet. Carmen is a multidisciplinary sound artist based in Graz/Cologne. She works with live electronics, collective performances and participatory, site-adaptable installations. Carmen likes to explore distributed systems, feedback, and audience agency. She has a background in Politics, Music Composition, and Philosophy, and is completing an MA in Computer Music (IEM). Her practice engages feminist and queer perspectives, non-normative sound, and the theatricality of public space.

In less than two weeks, our #worklab_ mur2025 will start for which we welcome 7 international und local Artists in Residency. We will introduce each of them to you in the following days (in alphabetical order). Stay tuned!

Let‘s start with Andrea Strata.
Andrea Strata is an Italian multimedia artist and creative coder based in Berlin. His research mainly focuses on finding new, creative ways to explore the connection between natural movement and sound generation, aiming to make free form, electronic improvisation more accessible to everyone.
