X-dexing is yet another invented method to try and stay close to complexity. It emerged in conversation with designer Manetta Berends and can mean different things, depending on who assumes the task: “If ‘indexing’ would be about gaining access through the illusion of completeness, the x-dex is about situated unfoldings, about letting go of fixitude and about handing over for a little longer; a form of generative relationality that is not providing with control nor indication, but a sort of playfulness and imaginative re-entanglement.” For this occasion, Jara Rocha will provide with a tour through a number of not too comfortable practices, not too assertive methods, not too modern tools and not too clear attempts coming from a loose network of networks of trans*feminist technosciences’ collectivities and processes. The aim of the session is to mumble about questions, methods and potential experiments for an ongoing praxis of disobedient action-research commited to radical interdependence and mutual co-constitution for a regenerative justice.
