Otherkin – A Social Software
By Omsk Social Club x Portals Cashmere Radio x Alexander Iezzi
RGP Experimental Radio Performance, 240 min., 2021 »Otherkin – A Social Software« is a role-played experimental radio performance that takes place through the lens of a fiction theory narrative centred around the idea of Otherkin and the notion of companion species – human beings entangled with other animals, organisms, landscapes, and technologies. The work brings up questions of new animism, translocality, and how to leave behind the notion of human exceptionalism. Omsk Social Club explores live-action role-playing (LARP) as an artistic medium with what they call a »futuristically political« approach. Portals is a show on Cashmere Radio Berlin that focuses on process-oriented art practices, and art as narration. Alexander Iezzi AKA Mary Posa is an interdisciplinary artist who upcycles digital debris along with scavenged scraps from the meatworld.
