//// The Void Episode 10 ////
Although this series usually praises slow internet-building practices, this episode makes an exception. Noam Youngrak Son’s development of three web tools is an urgent response to the genocide of Palestinians and encouragement for solidarity with displaced Palestinians. In this episode, Maisa and Noam explore urgent publishing via web development and institutional tokenisation of online political gesture.

THE VOID is a research project on tactical video and an audiovisual publishing venue for practice-based research. Hybridity and collectivity are essential for the way THE VOID functions: we propose to reframe modes of media production into collective acts of broadcasting. By setting up hybrid pop-up streaming studios, we merge production, distribution and archiving into a single event. In order to practice audio-visual criticality, our streams display the on-site social and technical infrastructure with all its glitches. We see our hybrid pop-up studios as tactical video: an occasion to pollute online spaces with offline encounters and, vice versa, to rearrange how we physically exist together to create new ways of inhabiting a stagnating online media landscape.
