Static is the Signal: KDZU’s Tactical Mythmaking and Interventionist Field Studies" is a one-hour, participatory workshop introducing KDZU’s practice of tactical mythmaking. I will guide participants through an exploration of both indoor and outdoor spaces, treating our technology-infused environment as a site of collectivity and as a site of suppressed histories and autofictions waiting to be activated. Using the built environment as field prompts, we’ll generate symbolic artifacts—phrases, gestures, maps, sketches, and other fragments of belief—that imagine how our invented myths might operate as real situated systems. The workshop will conclude with a collective myth transmission ritual and a discussion exploring whether myth can serve as a tool for critical intervention and potent reclaimer of physical space as narrative space. Over the past four years, I have been developing KDZU as a long-form artistic research project that explores how myth can be used tactically to intervene in systems of hypercapitalist authority. This work project intertwines autofictional histories, DIY/DIT collectivities, robotics, and space exploration, framed through the speculative broadcast infrastructure of an autofictional pirate radio station called KDZU. Workshop Goals Introduce participants to the practice of tactical mythmaking. Encourage psychogeographic play in digitally augmented physical spaces. Invite embodied explorations of physical space as part of myth-generation processes. Inhabit familiar spaces while also reimagining or disrupting their social function. Leave participants with a small artifact or action tied to their invented myth and a collection of ideas about how to incorporate tactical mythmaking into their own creative practices.
