Digital Metaspace was a project exhibited at +Ergeio Art Space in Limassol center, in the context of the +Aksi event on October 2021.
The project used new interaction technologies based on Framasoft’s decentralised network platform. In particular, it will use the Framapad digital tool. Framapad is a digital collaboration tool in which many users can log in simultaneously without having an account or being required to register, and participate to write something together.
Posters with QR Code were printed and pasted in various places in the city of Limassol, so that mobile phone users could scan the code and enter a text writing interface as a group. On this interface they wrote their thoughts. The project generated the following texts which are listed in the gallery below.

2020. DSLR, 35mm film, Digital manipulation.
The more varied, and even erratic, the better. Normalcy starts to lose its hold. The regularities start to loosen. This loosening of normalcy is part of capitalism’s dynamic. It’s not a simple liberation. It’s capitalism’s own form of power. It’s no longer disciplinary institutional power that defines everything, it’s capitalism’s power to produce variety—because markets get saturated. Produce variety and you produce a niche market. The oddest of affective tendencies are okay—as long as they pay. Capitalism starts intensifying or diversifying affect, but only in order to extract surplus-value. It hijacks affect in order to intensify profit potential. It literally valorises affect. The capitalist logic of surplus-value production starts to take over the relational field that is also the domain of political ecology, the ethical field of resistance
to identity and predictable paths. It’s very troubling and confusing, because it seems to me that there’s been a certain kind of convergence between the dynamic of capitalist power and the dynamic of resistance *.
