Breaking the Code

ALGORITHMIC NON-NORMATIVITY IN CREATIVE DIGITAL HUMANITIES

The project Breaking the Code: Algorithmic Non-Normativity in Creative Digital Humanities examines the relationship between gender, identity, and algorithmic systems in the realm of creative digital humanities. It seeks to uncover how algorithms—often seen as neutral—actually encode and perpetuate societal norms, particularly regarding gender. Through cyberliterary-cyberartistic interventions, such as hacking, glitching, and livecoding performances, the project disrupts these algorithmic structures to expose their inherent biases. Drawing on frameworks like Judith Butler’s performativity, Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectionality, and Donna Haraway’s situated knowledges, the project will focus on how errors, glitches, and deviations can reveal the normative constraints embedded in digital systems.
