Forum #1 - Rowena Harris

20 Jun 2018

Artist and PhD researcher Rowena Harris (Goldsmiths) presents a short creative text entitled How to be Slow together with Thinking Impossibly (a guide) - a publication which formed part of an installation at her recent exhibition, and presents for discussion the title chapter from author Dodie Bellamy’s book When the Sick Rule the World.

Rowena Harris is an artist and PhD candidate at Goldsmiths. Her research encompasses theories on the datalogical in relation to neuroatypicality, pursued through creative writing, material practice, and film work. Within this she explores a relation between systemic use of cognitive enhancements by Silicon Valley and the contemporary system by which the datalogical functions, seeking to give voice to neuroatypical people that maybe absent from this space, and to consider another place of thinking differently. – rowenaharris.com
