     Demonstration Oral Site

Since 2011 I am co-curating, developing and displaying my own work on the web-publication platform oralsite.be which uses the tailor-made software Olga. Olga was developed by a team of writers, artists and open source programmer and designers. The software proposes distinct ways of thinking and writing, but its near to boundless possibilities also ask for the making of spaces (sites) where specific works can be created and hosted. Instead of framing ‘writing’ in a divide between theory and practice, I want to stress a triangled interplay for ‘expanded writing’ to happen, i.e. an interplay between envisioning technologies, curatorial spaces and artistic/editorial production.
