I’m part of super fun lineup of speakers, and there are a ton of cool workshops and hands-on experiences taking a radical egalitarian approach to tech!
Please join us on April 26th, 2024 for a day dedicated to radical practices with electronics. The Electronics Faire features a daylong “sit and tinker” faire tabled by local organizations in the Philadelphia region. There will be a series of talks by artists, practitioners, and researchers that work with electronics in the morning and a series of hands-on workshops in the afternoon. Additionally, the SCRC will be doing tours of their A/V archiving facilities.

Rashid Zakat’s keynote presentation runs from 10:15-11:00am with time for questions following the talk.
Rashid Zakat (b. Baltimore, 1984) is a video artist based in Philadelphia. His work consists of five tightly woven threads of film, music, internet art, photography and creative space-making interventions. These threads activate a relationship between the audience and the work which invites joy, pleasure, ecstasy and humor to invoke a transcendental social experience. Rashid is a Temple University alum that graduated from the school of Film and Media Arts.
