Accompanying the exhibition #c0da comptoir #fanny carolsruh, this Zoom event presents the 0rphan Drift Archive. 0rphan Drift is an artist avatar that has been exploring the boundaries of machine and human vision since its inception in 1994 in London as part of the first generation of Cyberfeminists.

Maggie Roberts and Ranu Mukherjee of 0rphan Drift thread through methodologies and their collaborative relationship with the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, formed with c0da collaborator Sadie Plant and others in 1995 at Warwick University, England. Artist and writer Ido Radon initiated this conversation and will lead through the Zoom event. A version of the resulting interview will subsequently be published on the c0da website, Katrin Mayer's art and research project.

The conversation will also be accompanied by artist, writer and translator Stanton Taylor. He is also a c0da contributor: four chapters of his ongoing essay Traitors in the Machine - Notes on Speculative Feminism, Science Fiction, and Translation can already be found
