nsisim manifesto -> NSISIM...

✿ means ‘spirit’ in bulu, cameroon

✿ emerges from an imagination that weaves, moves, dances between the personal, the political and our environment

✿ is for the curious who wants to expand their knowledge and expanse of the world

✿ is for the researcher who wants to dive, deepen, and scour the internet for archeology

✿ for the empathetic critic who wants to dismantle, re-envision, and put back together

✿ for the compassionate collaborator who respects, adds to, and co-imagines solutions & visions

✿ for the visionary worldbuilder who wants to dream, organize, and strategize

✿ for the creative who wants to make, draw, weave, tell, dance, move

✿ is for you

NSISIM Studio wants to personally thank the planet for all that it is, Sasha Kelley for outlining the marketing and distribution strategy of these courses – endlessly grateful for your piscean dreamer and capricorn rootedness and Iris E. Fernández Valdés who is our creative practice and emotional excavation life coach who has been accompanying us through parks, emotional underworld, creative laboratory, and inner child to unearth language and corporal and poetic connections presented as NSISIM.

the Web



What does the ephemera of the web(s) teach us?

What autonomous modes of internet-living can we imagine, exist, and build?

How are we living in digital spaces in ways we’d like?

What can we learn from plant technologies that we can weave into the internet and digital spaces?

Could we weave our visions of the future into the interwebs?


In this course, we’ll:


  1. explore the history of the internet, soft v. hard ware & their gendered implications
  2. unpack published cyborg, internet, and tech + art manifestos 
  3. make a comparative analysis between plant-nature technology and systems of internet accessibility & possibilities
  4. attempt to mend our frustrations & criticisms of social media, internet, surveillance
  5. explore creative code technologies
