Generating Access: Alt(er)text
In this workshop session, Access Lab & Library (Jon Tjhia and Fayen d’Evie) will encourage participants to engage with networked culture through the framing of access. Why is alt text a contested space? How can we sustain critical positions in the mediated platforms we use to communicate? And how can practises like image description extend and expand the craft of writing?
Drawing on discourses around agency, authorship and knowledge creation, and through conversation, solo and collaborative practise, you’ll undertake a round of exercises that query authorship, speak to position and perspective, and recognise the generative significance of emergent knowledge.
