The Contra-Internet: Inversion Practices series confronts the transformation of the internet into an instrument for state oppression and accelerated capitalism. Invoking a practice of utopian plagiarism, Inversion Practices utilizes queer and feminist methods to speculate on internet futures and network alternatives.
Contra-Internet: Inversion Practices is distributed by Arsenal Institut für Film und Videokunst e.V. and Video Data Bank.
