Tactical Forgetting
Playthrough, computer-supported exercises, training machine
Tactical Forgetting is a web-based, participatory game and computer-assisted mental exercise that deals with digital memory, shared knowledge and strikes. Based on its own activist experience during the 2020 revolution in Belarus, the project examines how infrastructural systems of care can be helpful for cyber-partisan practices and resistance. Users navigate along different narrative paths, the direction of which they decide for themselves. The path they find provides insight into disappearing archives and veiled protocols, as well as internet blockades and digital battlefields. The work rethinks affective computer technology and algorithmic power structures and asks how oppressed communities can act in the midst of digital fascism and build new infrastructures of imagination.
Concept & Realisation eeefff
The duo eeefff (Minsk/Berlin) is an artistic collaboration, an invented institution, a cybernetic political brigade, a poetic calculation, a hacking unit, or queer time. Active since 2013, eeefff works with emotions and affects shaped by technologies, creating software-based projects, publications, networks, and platforms that critically engage with digital labour, value extraction, and community building. Methods include public actions, online interventions, performative seminars, software and hardware hacking, and the choreography of everyday social situations. Since 2022, the duo has been organising the School of Algorithmic Solidarity, which it founded to explore the relationships between infrastructural time, algorithmic abstractions, and bodies. Eeefff are co-organisers of “Work Hard! Play Hard!” (2016-2020), “Decentric Circles Assembly” (2024) and “Forest Assembly of Educational Fictions” (2025).
