Malware X Cyberpunk
This Thursday Night Live! will explore the relations between the 1980s culture of cyberpunk, the spread of the computer virus and its biological counterpart AIDS. With a.o. lectures from Ivan Lopez Munuera, Charles Boucher and Andrea Bagnato, a \/\/iFi + OSS/**** performance by JODI and a performance by Red Light Radio. This evening is part of the extended program of Malware: Symptoms of Viral Infection, curated by Bas van de Poel and Marina Otero Verzier. 
In 1986, the first computer virus appeared in virtual space. As its name indicates, the Pakistani flu already pointed to a more than metaphorical similarity between biological and computational diseases as agents of bodily invasion. More were to follow. The analogies between the discourse on cybercrime and immunology – and in particular between the raise of computer viruses and the so-called AIDS epidemic in the 80’s- sparked popular anxieties, ideologies and cultural discourses. Cyberpunk, the dystopian science-fiction genre based on information technology was one of the first realms that linked computer viruses and their biological counterpart. Writers like Bruce Sterling and William Gibson used the threat of contagion of the body and cyberspace to build a futuristic imaginary around the idea of human and society. 
These imaginaries continue to haunt possible futures. As implantable technologies such as pacemakers and cochlear implants are used to improve health conditions, computer virusses could even pose a direct threat to the human body. Is it still possible to catalyze these threads into radical socio-political change?

The New York party scene in the early 1980s created an architectural revolution where new forms of critical consciousness emerged and became a model for an emerging form of political engagement to face the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Embedded in and abetted by a built environment, bodies, music, messages, and technologies were drawn into an extensive urban fabric of political activism. A scene meshed by nightclubs and discos blurred boundaries and identities: between gig and performance, theater and political space, and between performer, spectator, and activist. 21:00 – 21:30 \/\/iFi + OSS/**** performance by <A HREF="http://www.eai.org/artists/9852/titles" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">JODI</A> JODI is an artist collective formed in 1994 that consists of Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans. Chaos and the dysfunctioning of modern technology are topics they explore in their practice. During the event Heemskerk will re-enact a combination of two past actions: the \/\/iFi project focusses on the relationship between users and online platforms and the pervasive infiltration of software in everyday life and OSS/*** is a CD-Rom based program that uses distortions and interferences to explore new navigation experiences.

Stallion’s Stud 22.00-22.30
In the year 2018, Red Light Radio co-founder Hugo van Hejiningen and Identified Patient joined forces to debut their new musical project, <A HREF="https://www.facebook.com/pg/stallionsstud" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stallion’s Stud</A>. They dig deep into their shared love of off-kilter electronics, post-punk era experimentation and dubbed-out drum machine rhythms. On top of that former punk singer Hugo spreads his mind-altering vocals and twisted lyrical flows.
Interstellar Funk's label Artificial Dance released the first fruits of the duo’s studio collaboration. Earlier this year Rotterdam's Pinkman put out the second EP. With gigs at places like Bassiani, Berghain, SXSW and the Strange Sounds From Beyond festival, they are not to be missed live.
