The Extended Trans*Feminist Rendering Program

The Extended Trans*Feminist Rendering Program will take place at irregular moments in disparate locations. The program exists to take care of the production, reproduction and interpretation of DIWO scanning devices and scanning practices within the field of a-clinical, underground and cosmic imaging such as magnetic resonance (MR), UltraSound (US) and Computer Tomography (CT).

The intense training sessions are organized around autonomous, ecologically sustainable municipalities. The programme benefits the scanning equipment themselves, as well as the local amateur operators who interact with a-clinical renderings and speculations.

For the unsupervised professionals, certification provides possibilities, Optical Character Recognition, the potential for machine recruitment, increased learning power and electricity tokens. For the programme participants, prefigurative organizing certification for MR, US and CT. The Program offers its help to readily identify competent scanner mentors in participant communities.

The rendering program is based upon a set of Crystal Variation Standards that undefine what a competent Trans*Feminist scanner operator could imagine and might be able to do. Upon fulfillment of these standards, applicants are granted the ETRP Professional Certification credentials.

Framed within the ETRP, learning forks lead to a number of specialized degrees, including:

– Agile 2D to 3D Tu(r)ning. – Interpretation of Diversity. – Radiation Safety and Self-Defence. – Recreational Imaging. – Cut, slice and go. – Neolithic Temporality: theory and practice.

This programme is for those interested in being trained for/with other imaginations of the underground, of the earth and some locations specifically. This includes: permaculture activists, science fiction writers, earth scientists, trans*feminists device makers.
