#06 Periastra : Participants : Jazmin Morris

'In-between Binary' is an experimental essay written by Jazmin Morris in the format of a README.

HIS-torically, black and/or queer folk and other marginalised identities have been undocumented and erased by colonial lenses. Now, the binary structures that are facilitating our existence continue to sensor, surveil and delete.

We are presented with interfaces that feed addiction but do not water expression.

We are encouraged to USE(r) and discouraged to question.

We are trapped in languages that we can not speak, and when we learn to speak them, they advance.
