ADVICE WELL TAKEN: Folk tales of digital salvation by EMAP artist Dasha Ilina is part of the 30th International Computer Art Festival in Maribor, titled MFRU30: Off the Shelf. Post-Consumerist Imageries When the Business Left the Building. The project intends to create an ethnography, documenting the folk strategies around the uses of technology, with a specific focus on saving damaged or dying devices, and the sharing of mythologies to explain the obfuscated workings of algorithms used in social media applications.

MFRU30 takes place from 18 - 27 October 2024 at Velika Kavarna at Glavni Trg in Maribor. The presentation is supported by the EMAP partner presentation grant.
