Synopsis

Executing Practices brings together artists, curators, programmers, theorists and heavy internet browsers, all of whose work makes a critical intervention in the broad concept of execution. It draws attention to their political strategies, asking who and what is involved with those practices, and for whom or what are these practices performed, and how? From the contestable politics of emoji modifier mechanisms and micro-temporalities of computational processes, to genomic exploitation and the curating of digital content, the chapters account for gendered, racialized, spatial, violent, erotic, artistic and other embedded forms of execution. Together they highlight a range of ways in which execution emerges and how it participates within networked forms of liveliness.
