> *"This radical multi-form collective investigation traces the cutting edge of how bodies and subjects are rendered technologically. It proposes multi-dimensional forms of intervention, and claims an experimental horizon of the possible, shattering the mantra of unavoidability."* — [Olga Goriunova](https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/olga-goriunova(e12f9d80-51cf-4351-ab3f-c966c0ee7bc3).html)
Six years of trans\*feminist disobedient action-research on 3D technologies, paradigms and procedures culminated in *Volumetric Regimes: Material Cultures of Quantified Presence* (Open Humanities Press 2022, DATA-browser series, eds. Geoff Cox and Joasia Krysa). Compiled by [Possible Bodies](https://possiblebodies.constantvzw.org/) (Femke Snelting and Jara Rocha), the publication brings together diverse materials on the political, aesthetic, computational and relational regimes in which volumes are calculated. The book foregrounds technological practices that invite widenings of what is possible. With contributions by Sophie Boiron, Maria Dada, Pierre Huyghebaert, Phil Langley, Nicolas Malevé, Romi Ron Morrison, Simone C. Niquille, Helen V. Pritchard, Jara Rocha, Sina Seifee, Femke Snelting and Kym Ward.
The event at Varia celebrates the wiki-to-print paper edition designed and developed by [Manetta Berends](https://manettaberends.nl/). It is a special moment in an ongoing multi-local launch, made up of playful contributions, informal responses and interactive formats proposed by comrades in the making of technosciences otherwise.
The evening starts with a performative introduction by the editors, followed by an intervention by designer, artist and researcher [Alex Zakkas](http://www.alexzakkas.me/) in conversation with Manetta Berends.
