Abstract
By tracing Tabita Rezaire's digital art, interviews and website curation, this paper offers ways for users and artists to charter decolonial ways of particiapting on the internet. It begins by exposing the physical and political infrastucture of the landscape. Tearing down the facade that it is a free-for-all space and exposes its unequal structure that disfavours global minoritised groups. The paper offers definitions and configurations of digital art like the practice of creating competing elements, a practice common in digital collage to chart ways of giving agency to a user. Ultimately, it concludes that through digital art encouters, users can be made more aware of the logics that the internet uses and invites us all to stop being passive users of it by questioning and innovating ways to take back our agency.
