b1n4ry is an artist, sometimes a collection of artists, working with digital media and technology brought into physical spaces outside the screen to explore concepts in xenofeminsm, solar punk, and glitch art in engaging and dynamic ways intended to leave the participants asking important questions about desire, the world we inhabit, the systems that we are integrated into from birth and how we can re-shape and, if needed, destroy them.
Always anti-anthroprocentric we recognize the ways in which we contribute to power dynamics and constantly analyze how we can do better to bring experiences to people that examine the ways we can change our systems by actions or inactions within them.
deep_webs is the kinbaku project of b1n4ry Visuals.
Shibari is an art form using rope and techniques developed in Japan for torture and has evolved and been modified for both safety and beauty to create a thriving art form. It is a deconstruction of the way we view the body, presented using performance in such a way that it innately asks to be perceived as art. In a similar way that aerial performance or dance is presented, but with the history of violence, it is a subversion of power dynamics that shape our world, asking to disrupt the way we view the body through reclamation of power dynamics as beauty.
Shibari shares many parallels with Glitch Art
Glitch art, as defined by Nick Briz, is not error. Glitch art is taking a familiar system and using it in an unfamiliar way. In using kinbaku, semenawa, and other forms of shibari in ways not intentionally familiar to the carcereal punishments of Japan, we are creating moments of connection with body, connection between partners, and connection with other community members in the rope community as a whole, all while creating beautiful moments in time through photography and performance.
