Expanded rituals explode from algorithmic bubbles created on the net. Algorithms become the cue for a collective and random ritual of users: fragments of belonging, but also unconscious carriers of signifiers and archetypes.
In this workshop Mara Oscar Cassiani shares with the participants the execution of a series of gifs/ memes related to her own algorithmic bubble, collected in tarot cards according to the criterion of ritual female archetypes. Through this process she will transform her algorithms into a shared online/offline reality and an expanded witcha group ritual experience that transcends individual media practice and meditates on the themes of traditional rituals as a moment of exchange, healing and empowerment of those who participate.

About Mara Oscar Cassiani
She is a 'wifi based visual artist, working in the fields of performance, choreography, digital languages and ritual clubbing. Her research is focused on the creation of a contemporary imaginary, in which new grammars and rituals are borrowed from the world of the internet,subcultures, avatars and the imaginary of brutal capitalism.The relationship she entertains with the audience, in an expanded dimension - both live and mediated - is explored, through these visual imaginaries, in open space performative installations and live streaming. A stream of images, a melting pot between extracts of pop, ritual folklore, digital folklore and commercial language that returns a global snapshot, a "visual fast food" between kitsch, raw ritual and apocalypse.
