This autumn Oscar Cass-Darweish – an artist, creative coder and web developer with an interest in the struggle for autonomy in our daily interactions with hardware, software and code – takes up a Vivid Lab residency.

Oscar’s artistic and critical methods are used in projects, artworks and workshops focusing on the value of unpacking digital processes and objects as part of refiguring human-technical relationships. Vivid Lab will support Oscar to focus on their project Reclaiming the Browser, providing valuable time, space and opportunities to carry out practical research sessions that draw in engagement.

These dialogues will inform the production and live-testing of new browser-based artworks that emerge from learnings around the technical limits and permission exchanges built into the structures of the present day web.
