Founder of Club Mafia Anna Gunvor discusses being a selector in the Copenhagen nightlife, sex parties, safe spaces and the collective responsibility of raving. Club Mafia's role is to maintain the dancefloor and the nocturnal entertainment spaces safe and fun. Its goal is also to feminize the energy of the party in answer to the problematic symptomatic behaviours or patriarchy. background mix is Crack Mix 104 by Courtesy https://soundcloud.com/crackmagazine/crack-mix-104-courtesy?in=courtesy707/sets/mixes

Xuan Ye (CN/CA) is the prototype of many objects. X makes media poetry synthesizing language, code, sound, body, light, time and reflection through diagrammatic processes and multimedial translations. X’s works speculate on systemic problems and distributed consciousness in various interconnected networks. More recently, X has been collaborating with artificial intelligence and non-human agents to co-author aesthetic experiences. XI XI 息息 is Xuan Ye’s debut album. Compiled from solo improvisations across a three year span, the recordings comprise a fascinating document of X’s foundational ideas; free improvisation, computational randomness, hybrid chaos of gestures and mediated bio-electrical currents. XI XI 息息 is out on November 29th on Halocline Trance (LP, WAV). Distributed by SRD and available to purchase via fine music retailers worldwide.

Cornelia Sollfrank (PhD) is an artist, researcher and university lecturer, currently living in Berlin. Her means of expression include writing, performance, sound, video and (other) Internet-based formats. Recurring subjects in her artistic and academic work about digital cultures are authorship, self-organization, gender and techno-feminism. As a pioneer of Internet art, Cornelia Sollfrank built up a reputation with two central projects: the net.art generator – a web-based art-producing ‘machine,’ and Female Extension – her famous hack of the first competition for Internet art. Her experiments with the basic principles of aesthetic modernism implied conflicts with its institutional and legal framework and led to her academic research. In her PhD “Performing the Paradoxes of Intellectual Property,” Cornelia investigated the increasingly conflicting relationship between art and copyright. http://www.artwarez.org http://artwarez.org/projects/commonslab/
