Manifesto



NSISIM... (nuh-sih-sim) means ‘spirit’ in Bulu: a language spoken in the Southeastern region of Cameroon. 

this space is for:

  • 🌀 the curious who wants to bridge the gap between their values and embodying them


  • 🐚 the researcher interested in land, nature, memory, patterns, images, time, poetry, liberation


  • 🫀 the empathetic critic who observes, questions, re-envisions, and puts back together


  • 💌 the compassionate collaborator who respects, adds to, and co-imagines solutions & visions


  • 👽 the visionary worldbuilder who dreams, plans, visualizes, organizes, and.or strategizes


  • 🌿 the creative who makes, draws, weaves, tells, dances, plays, moves, connects, sings, paints, writes, builds, imagines

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?

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. attempt to mend our frustrations & criticisms of social media, internet, surveillance
  4. dream our visions of a free-er internet, cyberfeminism, and data ownership
  5. learn from plant interwebs
