Phase 1 of the Provocations Track at SloMoCo took place from March 1- May 30, 2021, and involved an open call for provocations, ongoing exchange via the provocations channel on Discord, a curated video series with past provocateurs, and an online discussion featuring a a 'lightning round' of provocations. You can view documentation from conversations and events that emerged as part of this phase below!

We also invite you to join our ongoing discussions via the Provocations Channel on the SloMoCo Discord server, which will traverse all three phases of the Provocations Track from March to November 2021.

Provocations | Conversations | Iterations – Video Series 1
As part of the ongoing Provocations Project, this curated conversation series builds on an open call for provocations in response to the question of what escapes computation in interactive performance? Based on the growing collection of provocations, three or four ‘provocateurs’ have been selected for each episode to read their provocations through one another, exploring points of convergence and divergence in authorial, disciplinary, and cultural perspectives.
