We
work, minding our image on screen, or struggle to socialise in a hall of
mirrors. Geert Lovink considers what we have lost and how we can
reclaim our bodies, relationships and shared physical spaces.</i>" <br></div><div><br></div><div>For me cryptic end of the article: <br><p>"<i>Given this context, should we be talking in terms of ‘harm reduction’?</i></p><i>
</i><p><i>Online wellness is the craze of the day: our days on Zoom include
breaks with live music performances, short yoga and body scan sessions.
It is Bernard Stiegler’s pharmakon in a nutshell<a href="https://www.eurozine.com/the-anatomy-of-zoom-fatigue/?fbclid=IwAR1l8G3JD8ijagbIoOSyS34i5-OtEHre5JjH45pECY8tQRetrUaTbS2WyBg#footnote-27" id="gmail-anchor-footnote-27">27</a>: technology that kills us will also save us. If Zoom is the poison, online meditation is the antidote.</i></p><i>
</i><p><i>After the Covid siege, we will proudly say: we survived Zoom. Our
post-digital exodus needs no Zoom vaccine. Let us not medicalize our
working conditions. In line with the demonstration on Amsterdam
Museumplein (2 October 2020) where students demanded ‘physical
education’, we must now fight for the right to gather, debate and learn
in person. We need a strong collective commitment to reconvene ‘in real
life’ – and soon. For it is no longer self-evident that the promise to
meet again will be fulfilled</i>."</p></div><div>Best</div><div>Annie Abrahams</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">---------<br></div><div><br></div><div>“Why is the use of videoconferencing so exhausting?

Hello -empyre- subscribers, <br>
Dan Lichtman will be moderating this month, but in the meantime we will keep our OCTOBER open call alive: <br>
-empyre- tactics and strategies in the age of Corona Virus.<br>
<br>
We ordinarily pick up our monthly discussions in September after summer break but as we explained early in October we delayed. We acknowledge the extra stresses of the Covid pandemic that have overtaxed so many of us. We want to be sensitive to our participants' extra responsibilities at home and the more intense planning and workload at work and school.<br>
<br>
Do you have an exhibition coming up? A new publication? Anything else you want to share? We invite all 2,200 plus members of -empyre- to share thoughts about the current pandemic and upcoming news to share until Dan begins his discussion next Monday, the 9th. <br>
<br>
Best. Renate<br>
