Between 7 and 12 December 2020, Constant organises the work-session Bureaucracksy. This work-session investigates the governance of techno-social systems through the prism of bureaucracy.

Critical practices of listing, naming, filtering, tool making, care and […]

Authors of the future 10.07.2020
Conventional intellectual property law binds authors and their hybrid contemporary practices in a framework of assumed ownership and individualism. It conceives creations as original works, making collective, networked practices difficult to fit.

Collaboration Guidelines: An Update 28.05.2020
The collaboration guidelines assembled by and for Constant set bouncy delimitations that curve, bend and re-situate ... yet they should provide something to hold on to when needed. They are an active articulation that stays open to corrections and modifications over time and throughout welcome modulations in Constant's constellation. The first version was tested and […]
Guided tours: DiVersions v2 28.05.2020
In seven on-line installations, artists show how digital collections of cultural institutions could welcome very different and even opposing views. Decolonial and intersectional perspectives call for a rethinking of on-line cultural heritage. What if we would arrange otherwise, invent material ways to move with data and listen to metadata's uncertainties? The installations in the on-line […]
