#fubar_expo ONLINE tour – Ras Alhague
An online guided tour session by one of the #fubar_expo 2k21 curators.
Free admission / no pre-registration necessary.
GAC @ fu:bar
Every year, the fu:bar festival welcomes dozens of artists engaged in an online glitch community by the name of Glitch Artists Collective. Created with the intention to connect and promote artists and glitch enthusiasts from all around the world, the group has grown in size over the years and became an important place for art sharing and exchange of knowledge on the glitch map of the Internet. The event will feature an overview of selected artworks and a bit of a history behind GAC, its artists, and the people who built it.

Ras Alhague
Zoe S. a.k.a. Ras Alhague is a Polish digital artist specializing in glitch aesthetics. In 2014—2021, they were the main curator for Glitch Artists Collective, which strives to feature some of the most prominent glitch artists in the community on their multiple online platforms. In November 2014, they created Asthenia, a collaborative project that concentrates on the use of glitch aesthetics to create unrest, dark and obscure images. Since then Asthenia has received decent recognition in the community and participated in various group exhibitions. Zoe’s solo projects—Dream Doctor, mainly focused on the theme of sexuality as well as the problematic side of institutionalized religion and consumerism, and Outernet Explorer, an ironic take on the YouTube culture with a dark subliminal message—have also been featured in numerous events, including the longest-running glitch art festival in the world, fu:bar/expo. Today, their art focuses on the exploration of artistic nudity, gender identity, and sexual expression through glitch art, making Ras Alhague their most prolific artistic identity.
