In the transdisciplinary performative essay 𝑊𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑑, Aksioma joins forces with the collective THE VOID. The essay, interwoven with audio-visual elements that will be composed on the spot, addresses the prevailing imperative of contemporary social media cultural production, brainrot, which tends towards a form of vertical video defined primarily by unconditional algorithmic curation.

𝑊𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑑 addresses the elusive definition of the cultural phenomenon of brainrot. The performative essay attempts to distance itself from understanding of brainrot as a genre of content or a social media trend and instead conceives of it as an imperative and true expression of algorithmic culture. Through an examination of digital holes, peripheral media, and operational images, it anchors brainrot as a reflection of the intertwining of technological, cultural, social, and economic factors.

V transdiciplinarnem performativnem eseju 𝑊𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑑 Aksioma združuje moči s kolektivom THE VOID. Esej, prepleten z avdio-vizualnimi elementi, ki bodo sestavljeni na licu mesta, naslavlja prevladujoč imperativ sodobne kulturne produkcije družbenih medijev, brainrot, ki teži k obliki vertikalnega videa, definiranega predvsem z brezpogojno algoritmično kuracijo.

𝑊𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑑 naslavlja vprašanje izmuzljive definicije kulturnega fenomena brainrota. Performativni esej se poskuša distancirati od njegovega razumevanja kot žanra vsebine ali družbeno medijskega trenda in namesto tega pojmuje brainrot kot imperativ in pravi izraz algoritemske kulture. Prek obravnave digitalnih lukenj, perifernih medijev in operativnih podob zasidra brainrot kot odraz prepleta tehnoloških, kulturnih, družbenih in ekonomskih faktorjev.
