Queer Codes is an open, participatory, and experimental format dedicated to live digital media. Initiated in 2023 at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara by Marco Cadioli, Valentina Miorandi, and Guido Segni, it presents itself as a shared laboratory, a performative environment, and, occasionally, a controlled malfunction.

Between code and body

It operates somewhere between code and body, error and trance, where systems are expected to behave and instead do not. Normative languages are gently stressed until they show symptoms. Stable structures are treated as temporary agreements.

Queer Codes does not provide instructions. It avoids clear hierarchies when possible and ignores them when not. It appears in urban space through periodic events, collaborations, and short-lived rituals that may or may not repeat.

Practices

Fluid environments are produced through live coding, performance, installations, video, sound, deep voices, and collective actions: spaces where things run, drift, overlap, and sometimes stop making sense in productive ways.

Nothing is fixed. Everything is executable.
