Efrén Cruz Cortés and I traveled to SLSA in November to exhibit work and to conduct a speculative workstation, where we connected spells, algorithms, and rhizome networks to our SpellWeaver application; spells we write together are converted to algorithms and then converted into customized seed packets meant to liberate witches, plants and machines from capitalist oppression. Conversations about APRIORI’s larger mission threaded throughout, prompting speculation about human, technological, and ecological survival in the Capitalocene.
