Hi Joasia,
Thanks for all your emails! Hope you are well.
1.We have checked the mailchimp test annoncement - and updated the text a little and added our very short bios, new doc attached. The test worked well on aarhus email, but on Goldsmiths email did not display in blue and logo was with attachements.
2.We have also put together the long and short text for the vinly based on the template you sent us. Also attached.
3.We plan just for the soft launch on Weds evening, but then suggest to come back on Dec 10th and 11th to give a talk (on the 11th)- would this work for you?
4. The sticker (slightly changed see below) - black color / 60 x 90 cm (approx)
function start() {
setInterval(your_motto, now);
}
5. We will print the manifestos here and bring them with us.
Let us know if you need any more information from us!
Looking forward to seeing you
Helen and Winnie
Hi Helen, Winnie
I have just sent you a mailchimp test announcement. -
Few questions – additions:
1. It would be good to include a line or two about each of you - can you send me something?
Helen Pritchard (UK) and Winnie Soon (HK/DK) have collaborated since 2009, on machine reading/writing, operative processes, software critique and the ways computational practices parse queer life. Helen is the Head of Digital Arts Computing, a lecturer in Computational Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London and Winnie is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Digital Design at Aarhus University.
2. Is there a workshop or any event you are planning on the 20th? If so it would be god to include too.
Re vinyl – can you send me proposed text – shorter info for outside and a longer version for inside the gallery plus any logos or links you want to include.
I need to send it out for laying out by the end of the week and need to send to production early next week in order to get it back on time.
Thanks
Joasia
Thanks - this is all great.
I am sending you a draft announcement for you to have a look and final checks.
I have few questions regarding tech set up:
1. Printed versions of queer manifestos on A4 pink/green paper - will you bring it with you or prefer to do it onsite? If the latter, can you source the paper you want?
Pink/yellow
2. Now start your motto (as a small sticker on the wall) – can you specify size?
Sticker in black color / 60 x 90 cm (approx)
function start() {
setInterval(your_motto, now);
}
Apart from this we would need to produce wall vinyl – short info for outside and longer for inside, how would you like? I attach an example of a previous project vinyl.
Also I have a question about dates - 18-20 is still fine but the week after would be better for various of reasons.
How fixed are you, is there any room for change? Don’t worry if not possible.
Best wishes
Joasia

Exhibition
Recurrent Queer Imaginaries
Helen Pritchard and Winnie Soon (2019)
Exhibition Research Lab
November 20, 2019 – January 5, 2020
Opening event November 20, 6 – 7pm
Recurrent Queer Imaginaries is an exhibition of queer manifestos, motto writing and urban dreaming. It features the new artificial intelligence entity from Pritchard and Soon, the "Motto Assistant".
"Motto Assistant" is a machine learner, who continuously writes mottos for revolutions, anti-fascist guiding principles of living, queer love ethics, authoritarian resistances, political movements, class struggles, municipal identities, city planning, art practices, joyful engagements and violent direct action. "Motto Assistant" applies the mottos, as a method of questioning, revising, imagining and developing in light of historical circumstances and cultural conditions. Incoherent and worm-eaten, Soon and Pritchard invite the audience to interpret a motto from "Motto Assistant" as a guiding principle of how to reorganise your collective life and fight injustices in the present.
The exhibition takes as its starting point the histories and uses of manifestos and mottos as operational instructions/guidance for living together and organising urban space. In particular Recurrent Queer Imaginaries explores how queer and feminist manifestos have been used to propose imaginaries for life in cities that "could be" or "could have been". The artwork explores that when these manifestos, these words, are read together they might as Ursula K Le Guin speculates, "activate our imaginations" to rewrite living.
The artwork was developed using manifestos and zines (the earliest written in 1971) for queer and intersectional life as source text for machine learning and generative processes. It uses recurrent neural networks to train and process sequences of collective voices, as well as the diastic algorithm to establish a poetic structure. Such a queer model opens up new imaginaries and forgotten language beyond the confines of accurate prediction and effective generalization.
As part of their process the artists took on some practices of urban dreaming, seeking out manifestos that are housed in the radical books shops and libraries in Kings Cross and Euston, places that are historically important for the queer movement. Although sites of historic significance for queer spaces, Kings Cross and Euston are both areas that have been effected significantly by the construction and changing urban fabric of London: Queer night-time spaces have been replaced by the relentless gentrification by tech companies and start-ups.
The seed text Not for Self, but for All is used in different parts of the text generation. This seed text, which at first was mistaken for a corporate slogan, is Camden Council’s motto for their municipal identity which hangs prominently next to the Google offices in the heart of the new development of Kings Cross. Recurrent Queer Imaginaries is a call to reclaim queer spaces from corporate neocolonial imaginations, operational injustices and reimagine them differently for all, as a commitment to queer liberation.
Now start your motto.

Queer Motto notes
"We are a wordy species" Ursula K. Le Guin
Non Sibi Sed Toti, Not For One But For All.
"We are a wordy species" Ursula K. Le Guin
"They may not be “books,” of course, they may not be ink on wood pulp but a flicker of electronic in the palm of a hand. Incoherent and commercialised and worm-eaten withe porn and hype and blaster as it is, electronic publication offers those who read a strong new means of active community The technology is not what matters, Words are what matter. The sharing of words. The activation of imaginations through the reading of words. Literature is the operating instructions. The best manual we have. The most useful guide to the country we’re visiting, life. " Ursula K. Le Guin
Marx and mottos - And it was a dictum he applied not only to the ruling ideas of his age, but something that he applied to other socialist currents, and even to his own ideas,
which he was constantly questioning, revising, and developing in light of historical circumstances and conditions.
mottos for queer justice
guiding principle of a person, organization, city,
colinial
annoucenment of a municipal identity
Many of us feel on the outside, instead how might we have a broader politics for collective liberation
"We can stick to guarding the rights we’ve won over the past decade and that have secured for some (mostly those who are white, cisgender, and college-educated) a respectable, middle-class status. Or we can commit to a broader and bolder vision that prioritizes collective liberation—for us, and for others—over individual rights. That would mean, to start, standing up as queer people against inhuman conditions at the southern border, putting our bodies on the line to protect trans women at risk of violence, working on sex-work decriminalization and harm reduction for drug users, and tackling the continuing crisis of HIV. It would mean using our long experience of fighting past injustices to fight injustice in the present.
Queer activists have held such broad emancipatory visions before. Those visions were based in a clear-eyed embrace of queer difference and not an attempt to assimilate into middle-class institutions. By combining commitment to queer liberation with direct action, radical queer activists have throughout history brought emotional potency to the LGBTQ movement to which we owe many of our political gains today.

of queer imaginaries and urban relations. The work is a proposal for using poetry in city planning and urban design. Instead of the vision of the smart city where artificial intellegience algorithms shape and generate urban life from the optimization of infrastructures to the gentrification of whole neighbourhoods by tech giants, the Pritchard and Soon propose that AI /MLalgorithms might instead be used to open the possibilities for our collective urban imaginary of what a city or a life could be.
The urban motto used by governments or councils. In a time of rising facism and imperalism, the recurrent queer motto,
Taking urban infrastructures that shape cities as a starting point, the writers collected slogans and manifestos from the Kings Cross area in London, an area of urban gentrification by the tech companies. It was here on the Google building hangs the Camden City council slogan "Not for One but For all". Re purposed as a slogan for the mass gentrification, closure of queer spaces and urban clensing of the area.
The artwork was developed using 24 manifestos and zines (the earliest written in 1971) for queer and intersectional LGBTQ* life as source text for machine learning and generative processes to produce new manifesto imaginaries. The artists’ ask: How might we imagine new political and queer urbanisms? How might we generate new manifestos for the reclamation and imagination of queer space?
As part of their process the artists sought out manifestos that are housed in the radical books shops and libraries in Kings Cross and Euston, places that are historically important for the queer movement. Although sites of historic significance for queer spaces, Kings Cross and Euston are both areas that have been effected significantly by the construction and changing urban fabric of London: Queer night-time spaces have been replaced by the relentless gentrification by tech companies and start-ups.

4th meeting 15 Oct
- send info to Joasia
- testing the program
"logic:
-
.......break the generated model into individual words as array/json/text, setup procedure to loop through all needed words with specific position of the character to generate a list that matches the rules; then randomly generated from the list and do the same for each word -> then need to think about the interface and the timer to generate a new manifesto"
- collecting manifesto
- Longer text for PR and within the gallery.
- diagram?
3rd meeting 9 Oct
Final task for today:
- brainstorm the elements in the exhibition and what to do (artist talk?)
- what exactly is the format and what to do on 15 Oct

from Joasia
Winnie and Helen arriving 17 November Sunday till 21st morning (Thursday)
20th - day workshop/event and drinks opening
departure point camden city council ‘not for one but for all’ /
qeer culture / bars and community spaces being completely obliterated by tech companies; from 300 spaces to zero; changing environment;
imagine other types of cities and future; collected around 30 different queer manifestos starting form 60s and 70s from sites in the area - gay bookshops etc - international manifestos; black queer manifestos
used this as a source text to train the natural language nuronetwork model; algorithms; used machine learning model - train the model - train to be able to write in the style of XX queer manifestos - learn the context and style in order to generate text; normally people to train the model use one text; theirs is feral hybrid/ queer model because is trained on 30 different writers and learn different style - collective author;
trying to think what there might be potential of machine learning, manifesto generating machine to open up poetic imaginariness of urban political life; the need to urban intervention direct action; so fare the training the model generates lines of poetry; as a way to generate text base don these words;
the C text - structure based on the slogan ‘not for one but for all’
manifestos continually generated and then continually sent to camden council
final form - maybe the web page - showing on the screen? or a pattern?
Exhibition: projection of the source text (c text); projection of the manifesto - projector plus laptop; copies of the source manifesto printed; new manifestos
events - 20 mins presentation to present a project; questions; urban computation / urban mathematic
18th Nov
- setup
- final fixing or printing
19th Nov (exhibition / visual elements)
- projection on the seed text
(1/
- on google building
with the seed text 2/ a series of images with the area)
- slide deck of the area? -
- a generative program (?)
- a series of printed and generated manifestos?
- until January
20th Nov
1) curated conversation : writing machines + urban mathematics/computation
---> 14.00-16.30
---> 20 mins presentation + curated question
s around theme
-
- How writing can have a political action?
2)
live manifesto reading
3) Workshop for queer manifesto writing
(why manifestos?)
- invite people to join from students and public, activate simple cut up manifesto writing together - could even be paper based or code based ... use this as a point to the
n
have some discussions about queerio urban space.
4)
none of the above just exhibition and say we are in the gallery in the afternoon
5) talk + studio making
- night time: dinner with joasia
21st Nov morning leave
- for the work to have a life..
- what are the elements in the space
1st meeting with Helen:
Generative text:
- unpredictable
- predictable
- not a text but an image
- constraints as a creative and generative process
- limitation: pre-relations, material histories and politics
- try to understand what they are : material approach
- diastic -> bring to live
- a thousand manifestos
- text being different
- same seed text
- every min the email -> queer manifesto receive of our email manifesto
- different outputs: zines , printing, email, books, a large projection on this , software installation
- Camden -> manifesto of the councils ->
- “not for one but for all”
- gentrification and queer closure
- urban space , queer, politics , collective individuations, world making,
- AI is about performing tasks / decisions
- automated injustices => seda
- volume : living in a computerised world -> how to arrange your life/imagination spatially,
- good for the city ?
- different ways of computation to arrange our life, generating manifestos? How can this re-arrange the city in a different way? (Not only filtering or best layout for city or mining -> optimised way for labour, machine, part of the city is being designed, otherwise of algorithmic interventions)
- efficiency ?
- poet intervention -> millions about how the city can be different in a more queer way -> why important? Hacks other things
- imagination is important
- scholar => ABDOUMALIQ SIMONE —> book improvised life
-
