Opening and publication launch: Thursday 10 October 18:00 - 21:00 DiVersions experiments with online collections of cultural institutions as sites for decolonial and intersectional practice.

Open Scores: Collaboration guidelines 01.09.2019
Open Scores: how to program the commons? is a group exhibition that brings together 16 practices through which artists articulate their own forms of (digital) commons. From online archives, to digital tools/infrastructure and educational formats, the projects envision a (post-)digital culture in which notions of collaboration, free access to knowledge, sustainable use of shared resources […]
Authors of the future: Re-imagining Copyleft 27.08.2019
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. Within that legal and ideological framework, Copyleft, Open Content Licenses or Free Culture Licensing introduced a different view of authorship, opening up the […]
Collaboration guidelines 26.08.2019
The collaboration guidelines assembled by and for Constant set bouncy delimitations that curve, bend and resituate yet they need to offer protection when needed. In the next months, the window will be turned into a public drafting sheet for these guidelines. Michael Murtaugh developed a colourful LED display which runs through changes in the guidelines […]

Call for participants: Collective Conditions 23.06.2019
Collective Conditions is a worksession which experiments with the generative potential of codes of conduct, complaints procedures, bug reports and copyleft licenses. We understand these socio-technical protocols as artistic and activist media and are curious about the role they can play in the (different) imagination of complex collectivities. By 'complex collectivity' we mean, for example, […]
Collective Conditions 23.06.2019
A worksession on the conditions for/of collectivity. From 8 until 16 November 2019, artists, software developers, theorists, activists and others will experiment with the generative potential of codes of conduct, bugreports, licenses and complaints.
