0xSalon is a collective-fiction which critically interrogates digital culture through discourse events and residencies, producing scholarly and creative interventions in the process. Since its founding in Berlin five years ago, we have been conducting an ongoing, non-profit experiment in knowledge sharing and collective (oc)cultural production. The 0xSalon researches topics, organises events, and authors lore, theory, poetry, music, games, theatre, and visual art.
Wassim Z. Alsindi is the creative director of 0xSalon, a counter-institutional collective critically engaging with technology through art and philosophy. His research practice is primarily concerned with the externalities of networked technologies. He holds a doctorate in experimental quantum physics, writes an editorial column at the MIT Computational Law Report and co-founded MIT’s Cryptoeconomic Systems journal. His recent writings have appeared in publications such as Spike Art Magazine, Weird Economies, 0xFolklore, In The Mesh, and the Philosophical Journal of Agorism, in addition to numerous creative works spanning experimental music, satirical theatre, speculative fiction, games, poetry, and machinic scripture. He has performed, lectured, and exhibited in over 30 countries, at venues including ZKM (DE), Unsound Festival (PL), Institute of Contemporary Arts (UK), Akademie der Künste (DE), CITY CITY Gallery (TH), Something Else (EG), and FIBER Festival (NL).
