jiawen uffline (GER)

jiawen uffline exists as a user most of the time in their life, having little agency as a standard user, both technologically and politically. She seeks for possibilities in internet cracks for queering the given identity of a user, their wish is to be an analogkäse in the digital figuration and drip sizzling fat on the cables and ports.

Apart from that, jiawen's research focuses on technology as memory and desire, with contaminated history but appearing pure, sterilized, decontextualized and dehistoricized, operating through reducing rather than relating. jiawen looks into the infrastructure, (counter)history, locality, materiality, poetics and politics of technology. She sees leak as a definite part of the digital reality, and leaking as a method to survive together.

Currently based in Bremen, Germany.
