Iz Paehr’s practice is all about the poetics and politics of access, anti-ableist hacking and trans*feminist worldbuilding.

As MELT (Ren Loren Britton & Iz Paehr) build world along three arts-design research structures: Anti-Ableist Technologies, The Meltionary and Zeitgeber. Actioning shape-shifting processes that generate material, aesthetic and infrastructional transformations intersecting Trans* feminism and Disability Justice, their work interweaves themes of: climate change, coalation building, critical technical practice and access. MELT's work resources ways of being together that figure in the present and future our flourishing. MELT shares work in the forms of videos, installations, websites, lectures and workshops.

Anti-Ableist Technologies

Ren Loren Britton, Iz Paehr

Anti-Ableist technologies come from MELT's studio as crip hacking projects that intervene into ableism as a discriminating structure. They don't just make access, but they point out, poke at and subvert realities that exclude disabled and otherwise marginalized people.
