Thank you
@wednesdaykimm for inviting me to be part of 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙄𝙄, a show centered on new media artists who are mothers.
“𝘿𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘?” is both a website and a series of intimate gatherings that explore the role of traditional magic during the time of AI magic. The project is a collaboration between me and AX Mina
@fiveandnine_podcast . The first prototype was created in 2023, before I became a mother, and the latest iteration was updated during my recent maternity leave. Here, I share a few motherly spells from the machine that dreams of magic. The website is built using
@p5xjs .

Rather than treating motherhood as subject, the exhibition surfaces the heavy-duty—often invisible—labor of care embedded in digital practice, tracing how feeding, uploading, editing, patching, nurturing, and building bind caregiving and creation. Here, care is not a metaphor but a method: persistent, powerful, and rising beneath the surface. Each artist contributes a work that knots digital media with acts of care.
Participating Artists:
Mollye Bendell, Snow Yunxue Fu, Diana Gheorghiu, Julie Grosche, Faith Holland, Rory Scott, Flavia Visconte and Qianqian Ye x AX Mina.
