<br>Varia is... a member-based collective built around the cultural and technological practices of those who constitute it. Varia is... a space of experimentation in group construction that goes beyond the members list.<br>
<br><br>
<br>Varia is a place and a community established around a shared interest for everyday technologies and their impact on society, gathering together practitioners who attempt to analyse/act on/subvert their usage.<br>
<br>~<br>
<br>An organisation of people of many diverse interests brought together by an interest in everyday politics of technology, from pens, paper asks poetry to machine learning and cake.<br>
<br>~<br>
<br>All sorts of people; artists and democracy; It looks like a mess.<br>
<br>~<br>
<br>A collective space for the development of a dialog around practical media/technology.<br>
<br>
<em>Een collectieve ruimte voor de ontwikkeling van dialoog rondom praktische media/technologie.</em>

<br>is a hybrid phygital (physical and digital) space assembled by a NL based collective interested in critically experimenting with various technologies in their trans-disciplinary practices.<br>
<br>(I think we can be playful though, even finding variables for eg.: collective = friends, thinkers and makers / technologies = artifacts  / tools / movements)<br>
