Feditation is a guided meditation-style exploration of the Fediverse, the name given to the expanding federation of servers running open-source, social networking software. During this meditation session, you will need to remain aware. The meditation process can lead to relief, and will be used for the purpose of finding alternatives. The objective is to experience the relaxation response – while at the same time continuing to question. Commissioned by The International Center for Knowledge in the Arts as part of their Desktop Essays series. The video was initially screened as part of the event Coherency, Diversity and Networks in Artistic Research and its session on "Alternatives & Interdependencies in Constructing Future Networks", Oct 29, 2020.
