The Mz* Baltazar’s Lab is a collective and feminist hackerspace in Vienna with a focus on DIY projects on the intersection of arts, technology & feminism.

The lab will be transformed into an exhibition for the rest of the forums time being and is accessible to everyone to enjoy the works of the participants.

MASSAGE
When are people treated like things? In fascism? In patriarchy? In captialism? Or if algorithms structure massive amounts of decontextualized human actions? How do ideologies get into things, in us, with the pickax or slowly massaging? Poor thing.
Our group of artists invites you to a queer feminist safer space, to workshops* and conversations, and to invent models against reification, in the form of poetic circuits and simple automata. We massage in intermediate translations and stumble over humor and sadness.
*for women, girls, queers, trans, intersex and non-binary people only
