Clair Le C: NO TUMBLR, MAYONNAISE IS NOT A GENDER
or ‘I’m just asking: if I identify as a cat, do I still have to pay taxes?’ or RACE, GENDER, AND SPECIES
IN THE POST-IRONY CONDITION

19 September

research/art exploring the STRANGE LOOPS emerging through the fictive portal of MILLENNIAL TUMBLR GENDERS a.k.a. THE TRANS AGENDA, gen(d)erating an infopocalypse entangling Left & Right, TERFs & MRAs, trans teens & nazi trolls, exposing the HIDDEN DIAGRAM of how all this crazy shit is probably connected to ANCIENT GLITCHES in human cognition, a.k.a. trying to run a linear, dualistic conceptual OS on the massively parallel, asynchronous, and distributed information processing networks we call people

Clair Le Couteur (*1982) is a non-binary trans researcher, artist and composer currently undertaking a practice-based PhD in sculpture – The Fictive Museum – at the Royal College of Art in London. Combining writing, making, and performance, Clair builds structures that reorientate fact and fiction, research and creation, and tradition and contemporaneity. Recent projects include: co-editing Why Would I Lie? (2015), a publication accompanying the inaugural RCA Research Biennial; an essay on gender and species in selkie folktales for Gender Forum #55; and 'Reading Trans' (2017), a series of workshops for the Goldsmiths MA fine art course.
