SUMMARY:You Might Like This @ RADIUS\, Delft
DESCRIPTION:Join us for You Might Like This @ RADIUS in Delft\, where six artists\, researchers\, and makers will share their explorations of and encounters with social media and algorithmic systems. We’re celebrating our 10th anniversary this fall by reflecting on the algorithmic feed\, which is turning 10 as well. This event explores how how algorithms shape our online environments. \nFor this event\, we’re setting up shop in Delft\, a city we haven’t visited before\, but one with a strong connection to algorithmic systems thanks to Delft University of Technology. We’re very excited to have Seda Gürses as our guest programmer. Seda is Associate Professor in the Department of Multi-Actor Systems at TU Delft. Her research focuses on privacy engineering\, protective optimisation technologies\, software engineering and the political economy of computational infrastructures. She is examining how technical systems intersect with social justice and governance.  \nStay posted further down on this page for more information on speakers and the programme. \nWhat you need to know\n🗓 Date: Thursday 12 November 2026\n📍 Location: RADIUS\, Kalverbos 20\, 2611 XW Delft\n⏰ Time: Program starts at 20:00 CET\, doors open at 19:30 CET\n🎟 Tickets: on-site €8\,- / on-site student discount €5\,- / online livestream €5 \n♿️ Accessibility note\nDue to the historic nature of the building the Water Tower is unfortunately not wheelchair-accessible. During the event we can provide live closed captioning for those with hearing impairments and disabilities. Please reach out to us via info@thehmm.nl\, at least 3 days before the event if possible\, if you are joining on-site and have this access need\, so that we can reserve a seat for you within view of the screen with captions. If you are joining online via our livestream\, live captioning will be available as one of the streaming modes. \n🩵 This programme is kindly supported by the Creative Industries Fund NL and Het Cultuurfonds.

SUMMARY:The Hmm TO the Chinese Internet
DESCRIPTION:What does the Chinese internet look like from the inside?\n‎\n\nThe Hmm’s Chinese Internet Tour takes you on a guided trip through China’s social media ecosystem\, led by media anthropologist Dino Ge Zhang whose research focuses on emotions and aesthetics on the Sinophone internet. \nWe’ll visit destinations like the face-filter app Meitu (美图公司) and the Myspace-like relic Qzone (QQ空间) to the TikTok-style short-video platform Kuaishou (快手)\, where artists\, researchers\, and designers with local expertise show us how these platforms work\, what makes them distinct\, and how to navigate the practical barriers to using them. \n\n‎\nWe often think of the social media platforms we use in the West as global. Yet behind China’s Great Firewall\, a vast and largely separate social media ecosystem has developed\, with platforms that are used by hundreds of millions of people but remain relatively unfamiliar outside the country. These platforms have their own cultures and conventions\, shaped by China’s particular internet landscape. They are also spaces where new trends\, memes\, and visual languages emerge\, many of which eventually make their way onto the global internet\, sometimes months or years later.\n‎\nFor people outside China\, getting a glimpse of these platforms means seeing the internet from a perspective that is rarely available. Many got their first glimpse of this world in January 2025\, when RedNote (小红书) surged in popularity after the US government threatened to ban TikTok. For a brief moment\, the platform became a possible refuge for TikTok users\, attracting a wave of curious newcomers from outside China. But TikTok was only unavailable for about a day\, and most of these new users remained RedNote day-trippers.\n‎\nThe Hmm’s Chinese Internet Tour picks up where that moment left off. Moving beyond RedNote\, we’ll explore the wider landscape of platforms\, communities\, aesthetics\, and strange digital corners that make up China’s internet\, and get a sense of what it looks like from the inside.\n‎\nWhat you need to know\n‎ Guided by Dino Zhang\n\n\n📅 Date: Wednesday 25 November 2026\n🕗 Times: 20.00 – 21.30 CET\n📍 Location: The Inbetween\n🎟 Tickets: online livestream €5\n‎\n\n‎💚 This programme is kindly supported by the Creative Industry Fund.

SUMMARY:Suggested For You: 10 Years of The Hmm
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, the internet was briefly filled with the hope that 2026 might become the new 2016. In quasi-historical fashion\, users resurfaced early Instagram filters and interfaces\, Tumblr-motivational quotes\, old memes\, and other fragments of a supposedly simpler internet. Collectively\, it became a meditation on how social media used to be better\, or at least how much it felt better. Though users relied on a more generalised nostalgia to resurrect the aesthetic of the time\, they were\, in a sense\, correct. The internet really did feel different. 2016 was the year that all news feeds became algorithmic\, and with it our relationship with social media fundamentally changed.\n\nSerendipitously\, The Hmm was also born ten years ago\, in 2016. Since then\, we have tried to trace\, interrogate and intervene in the forces shaping our online lives\, including the algorithmic feed itself. To celebrate this legacy\, we are throwing a festive evening at W139 in Amsterdam\, filled with performances\, workshops\, drinks and more.\n‎\n‎Suggested For You: Reflecting on a decade in the feed\nThe evening will also mark the launch of our 10-year anniversary publication: Suggested For You: Reflecting on a Decade in the Feed. Part celebration\, part reflection\, the book looks back at the algorithmic feed and the decade of internet cultures that has unfolded around it. Featuring essays\, interviews\, image contributions and artist profiles from Ruba Al-Sweel\, Evelyn Austin and Rejo Zenger\, Jak Ritger\, Soyun Park and Leo Scarin\, Noura Tafeche\, Neema Githere\, Alex Quicho\, Constant Dullaart\, Mamali Shafahi and Ali Eslami\, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, K Allado McDowell and Aidan Walker\, the publication brings together a range of perspectives on how the algorithmic feed has come to shape life online.\nYou can already pre-order the book! It will be available to pick-up and purchase at the event.\n‎\nProgram\nSpeakers\, workshops and performances to be announced soon.\n‎\nWhat you need to know\n\n📅 Date: Friday 11 December 2026\n🕗 Times: 19.00 – 1.00 CET\n📍 Location: from 19:00 – 22:00 at W139\, Warmoesstraat 139\, 1012 JB Amsterdam & from 22:00 – 1:00 at Bar San Francisco\, Zeedijk 40\, 1012 AZ Amsterdam\n🎟 Tickets: Free\, but please register!\n‎\n\n‎💚 This programme is kindly supported by the Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industry\, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst and Het Cultuurfonds. The publication Suggested For You is supported by Mondriaanfonds.
