Varia presents two concerts by three incredible musicians from Italy.
|
||||
|
||||
CLM (formerly known as Cascao & Lady Maru) is a quirky electro duo, hailing from the saucy punk/no-wave scene of the aethernal Rome. Starting in 2008, they quickly turned into a bizarre live act with guitars, synths, live samples, percussion and poppy art melodies: evoking talking heads, the residents, and proto 70's & 80's wave stuff. In 2016 they released their first LP 'Spleenism' on vinyl and digital through the San Francisco based Cochon records.

Sicilian born and Rome based Maria Violenza plays dark synth punk music under the influence of her homelands’ mixed cultural heritage. Besides her rousing solo-work, she is also a member of French music collective Grand Triple Alliance Internationale De L’Est, Capputtini 'i lignu, The Normals, Trans Upper Egypt, Vernon Sélavy and Corpus Christi.

Varia presenteert twee concerten van drie ongelooflijke muzikanten uit Italië.
|
||||
|
||||
CLM (voorheen bekend als Cascao & Lady Maru) is een eigenzinnig electro-duo, afkomstig uit de punk / no-wave scene van Rome. Vanaf hun oprichting in 2008 veranderden ze al snel in een bizarre live-act met gitaren, synths, live samples, percussie en poppy art-melodieën: denk daarbij aan Talking Heads, The Residents en proto 70's & 80's wave-dingen. In 2016 brachten ze hun eerste LP 'Spleenism' uit op vinyl en digitaal via Cochon-records in San Francisco.

De in Sicilië geboren en in Rome wonende Maria Violenza speelt donkere synth punkmuziek onder de invloed van het gemengde culturele erfgoed van haar thuisland. Naast haar opzwepende solowerk is ze ook lid van het Franse muziekcollectief Grand Triple Alliance Internationale De L'Est, Capputtini 'i lignu, The Normals, Trans Upper Egypt, Vernon Sélavy en Corpus Christi.

Join us for an image roulette session: together with Lìdia Pereira, Silvio Lorusso will randomly dig into his research directories to exhume entreprecarious memes, illustrations, screenshots, artworks, etc.

Entrepreneur or precarious worker? These are the terms of a cognitive dissonance that turns everyone’s life into a shaky project in perennial start-up phase. [Silvio Lorusso](https://silviolorusso.com/) guides us through the entreprecariat, a world where change is natural and healthy, whatever it may bring. A world populated by motivational posters, productivity tools, mobile offices and self-help techniques. A world in which a mix of entrepreneurial ideology and widespread precarity is what regulates professional social media, online marketplaces for self-employment and crowdfunding platforms for personal needs. The result? A life in permanent beta, with sometimes tragic implications.

Ondernemer of precaire arbeider? Dit zijn de termen voor een cognitieve dissonantie die het leven van iedereen verandert in een wankel project dat verkeert in een eeuwige startup-fase. [Silvio Lorusso](https://silviolorusso.com/) gidst ons door het entreprecariat, een wereld waar verandering natuurlijk en gezond is, wat het ook met zich meebrengt. Een wereld die bevolkt wordt door motiverende posters, productiviteitstools, mobiele kantoren en zelfhulptechnieken. Een wereld waarin een mengeling van ondernemersideologie en wijdverbreide precariteit de professionele sociale media, online marktplaatsen voor zelfstandig ondernemerschap en crowdfundingplatforms voor persoonlijke behoeften reguleert. Het resultaat? Een leven in permanente bèta, met soms tragische implicaties.

Oplossingen en problemen in Extratonality 4<br>
|
||||
"Extratonaliteit - Het openen van deuren is niet genoeg"
|
||||
|
||||
De 4e Internationale Conferentie over de oplossingen en problemen in extratonaliteit getiteld "Extratonaliteit - Het openen van deuren is niet genoeg" richt zich op een evaluatie van praktijken op het gebied van extratonaliteit. In een tijd waarin problemen worden ontworpen om oplossingen te zijn, en industrieel afval ons dagelijks leven overneemt, is er een dringende behoefte aan een nieuwe extratonale conferentie die dieper graaft in de huidige stand van zaken van de "extra" tendensen. "Oplossingen en problemen in extratonaliteit" (OPIE) is de internationale conferentie over oplossingen en problemen op het gebied van extratonaliteit voor kleinere en grotere instituten, evenals onafhankelijke componisten en wetenschappers. We zullen geavanceerde obstakels in hun dagelijkse routine onderzoeken met de ondersteuning van op maat gemaakte instrumenten, verouderde schrijftechnieken, speciale notatiesystemen en alternatieve toepassingen van bestaande technologie.
|
||||
|
||||
Op vrijdag 16 februari 2018 vindt de vierde editie plaats in Rotterdam bij "varia - het centrum van de alledaagse technologie". OPIE4 gaat over het toepassen van extratonale oplossingen voor alledaagse problemen en alledaagse oplossingen voor extratonale problemen. OPIE4 is een must voor diegenen die meer willen weten over werkstrategieën rond extratonaliteit. Na OPIE1 in Wenen op 28 april 2017, OPIE2 in Zagreb op 30 september 2017 en OPIE3 in Rotterdam op 6 februari 2018, zal de volgende editie de laatste discussies in het veld behandelen en nieuwe input genereren voor de toekomstige onderhandelingen over extratonaliteit. Meer dan 250 jaar na zijn ontdekking en rechtvaardiging wordt het veld nu wereldwijd erkend als een belangrijk onderzoek in zijn vakgebied, daarom bestaat deze editie uit verschillende tracks en presentaties.
|
||||
|
||||
De ongeveer 300 OPIE-bezoekers beoordeelden de conferentie met een 9,8 en meer dan 98% van de bezoekers beveelt de conferentie aan bij anderen of zou graag terugkomen in de volgende editie.
|
||||
|

Solutions and problems in Extratonality 4<br>
|
||||
“Extratonality - Opening Doors Is Not Enough”
|
||||
|
||||
The 4th International Conference on the solutions and problems in extratonality titled “Extratonality - Opening Doors Is Not Enough” focuses on an evaluation of practices in the field of extratonality. In a time where problems are designed to be solutions, and industrialised rubbish predominates our everyday life, there is an urgent need for another extratonal conference that digs deeper in the current state of affairs of the "extra" tendencies. "Solutions and problems in extratonality" (SAPIE) is the international conference on solutions and problems in the field of extratonality for smaller and larger institutes, as well as independent composers and scholars. They will explore advanced obstacles in their daily routines with the support of custom-made instruments, obsolete writing techniques, special notation systems and alternative applications of existing technologies.
|
||||
|
||||
On Friday, February 16, 2018, the fourth edition will take place in Rotterdam at "varia - the center of everyday technology". SAPIE4 is about applying extratonal solutions to everyday problems and everyday solutions to extratonal problems. SAPIE4 is a must attend for those who want to know more about working strategies and cases around extratonality. After SAPIE1 in Vienna on 28th April 2017, SAPIE2 in Zagreb on 30th September 2017 and SAPIE3 in Rotterdam on the 6th February 2018 the next edition will catch up on the latest debates in the field and trigger new input for the future ongoings around extratonality. More than 250 years after its discovery and justification the field is now recognized worldwide as a significant inquiry in its discipline, therefore this edition consists of several different tracks and presentations.
|
||||
|
||||
The approximately 300 SAPIE visitors rated the conference with a 9.8 and more than 98% of the visitors recommends the conference to others or would like to come back in the next edition.

Floppy Totaal bezoekt Varia voor een tweede programma gewijd aan hedendaagse diskette cultuur. Bij "Floppy Totaal: Double Density" kun je 's middags tijdens een workshop samen met de leden van het muzieklabel Floppy Kick een nieuwe floppy release opnemen en publiceren. Het daaropvolgende avondprogramma is tot de nok toe gevuld met optredens van Kisszántó en Eoforwine, presentaties en gesprekken met Joak en Jason Scott en een bijdrage op lange afstand van Michael Ridge.
|
||||
|
||||
De nadruk van dit evenement ligt op het concept van de diskette als comfortfood in een "future / present shocked" tijdperk. Op welke manier helpt de omgang met diskettes ons om te overleven in een tijd die vooral wordt gekenmerkt door "nieuwe media" en "planned obsolescence"? Bevat de diskette meer inhoud dan enkel 1,44 MB aan data? Op 19 oktober zoeken we het uit!
|
||||
|

||||
Part 2 of Floppy Totaal: Magnetic Flux starts at 20:00 and has tickets for sale that can be purchased at the door for 5 euro's each. The event consists of a series of talks, performances and contributions by Eoforwine, Kisszántó, Michael Ridge, Joak and Jason Scott.

* Floppy Kick Workshop
|

|
||||
Floppy Kick Records is a not-for-profit, floppy-only label that was formed in Budapest in 2013. All its releases are handmade and any "income" they produce goes straight into future releases. They take a non-political, yet critical position by explicitally rejecting any racism, sexism, homophobic or other forms of radicalism on their releases, choosing to instead focus on the beauty of sound. This can be in any style; experimental, noise, ambient, musique concrète, dark sounds, hnw, avantgarde, field recordings, industrial, power electronics, lo-fi, grindcore, or anything interesting. They believe in physical formats and respect their collectors. During their workshop at Floppy Totaal you can contribute to Floppy Kick by helping out with the recording and releasing of a brand new floppy release.

Floppy Totaal is a Rotterdam based initiative by Niek Hilkmann, Thomas Walskaar and Lídia Pereira that investigates the reuse and re-purposing of 'outdated' technology as a cultural phenomenon. By examining the contemporary usage of the iconic floppy diskette, they hope to assess the way past technology is integrated into our culture today, as well as its future potential. The goal of the project is to inject the debate surrounding obsolescent media with new enthusiasm and stimulate a critical approach to the topic with the help of extensive field research in the realm of the floppy disk.

Tijdens de tweede screening van Century 21 Calling zullen we een kijkje nemen naar de ontwikkeling van werkplekken. Hoe zat het ook al weer mat dat beloofde papierloze kantoor? Welke technologie heeft invloed gehad op waar en hoe wij werken? Zijn de situaties van vandaag nieuw of zijn zij slechts een herhaling van het verleden? Wat is er met de telefooncentrale gebeurd toen we die verbinding verbraken? Wat gebeurt er op kantoor na het werk? En hoe reageer je op klanten als ze klagen over je product? Dit alles en meer zal worden beantwoord tijdens de volgende editie van Century 21 Calling.
|
||||
|
||||
In een reeks screenings genaamd 'Century 21 Calling', een initiatief gestart door het collectief [Save_as](http://www.save-as.media/) en gehost door *varia* in Rotterdam, kijken we naar de industriële archieven, 'infomercials' van bedrijven en historische documentaires. Al dit materiaal heeft onze verbeelding van 'morgen' gevormd en dus is het tijd om deze voor het voetlicht van vandaag te werpen.

During our second screening of Century 21 Calling we will take a look at the development of the workplace. What happened to the paperless office? And how did the development of technology impact where and how we work? Is today's situation new or is it just a repetition of the past? Where is the paperless office? What happened to the phone exchange when we cut the cord? What takes place at the office after work? And how do you react to customers when they complain about your product? All of this and more will the answered at the next edition of Century 21 Calling.
|
||||
|
||||
In a series of screenings called “Century 21 Calling”, an initiative started by the collective [Save_as](http://www.save-as.media/) and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam, we look at the archival industrial films, corporate informercials, tv reports and historical documentaries that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold them up to the light of the present.

Since the beginning of time, space has captured the imagination of artists around the world. On the 18th of May varia is proud to present ‘Infinite Outwardness’; a music event based on the bounties of space, where several artists will present their idiosyncratic view on space exploration. Ranging from playable space junk to cosmic toilets, this will be an evening to remember!

Line-up:
|
||||
|
||||
* Erik Debny is one of Belgium's hidden gems. On a time travel from the sixties, this man single-handedly, or together with his band the Shovels, transforms the universe of music as we know it into a trip to the boundaries of sonic belief. He will perform songs from 2016's 'Spaced Out In Outer Space' and his brand new album 'Beat The System'.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* Wojtek Szustak is an inventive composer from Krakow who works with and around space junk. In preparation of 'Infinite Outwardness' he will conduct a synthesizer junk workshop in Charlois where he will make new electronic instruments from old stuff he finds on the streets. The results will be presented during the event.
|
||||
|
||||
* Niek Hilkmann is a topsy-turvy polymath who conducted an amateur avant-garde orchestra, created a one hundred meter long moving panorama, constructed the Universal Notation Ideal (UNI) system and curated events such as "Will VHS Save The Universe?" and "Floppy Totaal”. During ‘Infinite Outwardness’ he will exhibit the debris of his current projects 'Galaxico; Christmas between the stars' and 'The International Space Disenchantment Research Association'.

|
||||
|
||||
* Joshua Thies is a Rotterdam based artist working predominantly in the field of sound as a jumping off point for new projects. He will present an audible exploration of cosmological phenomena and take us into space via Google’s colonisation of virtual space. Digital and/or virtual mapping of Earth, claiming territory via mapping and viewing Earth from orbit have been the subject of his recent work.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* Squirrel, Arrow, Bee and Fly is the moniker of the international research designer team that brought you Toilettronic; a stress free toilet experience in space. It is a gamified toilet navigation system for space habitats. During 'Infinite Outwardness' the team will present a musical sequel to this project.

Long before there were people in Charlois, there was already water. Water is always on the move and always finds a way. Historically, fountains were gathering places that occupied a central place in village- and city life. Often they were installed to commemorate a great battle, a plague epidemic or some other historical event, donated by the municipality or a patron. Unfortunately, Charlois currently has no working fountain. Niek Hilkmann and Anne Kolbe want to remedy this shortcoming and temporarily give Charlois a mobile fountain that is not tied to a single place or interpretation. After an opening ceremony, held on the 2nd June around 13:00, next to Varia, the fountain can be seen during the weekends of the Charlois Speciaal festival, in search of new meaning and appreciation.

|

Become a goal scoring superstar hero at the **Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020**! After two competitive events at WORM it's time to bring the classic football game to the south of Rotterdam. Varia will be host to both an amateur cup as well as a pro cup - anyone can play (literally; in contrast with modern football simulators you only need a joystick with one button!). Although the last official release of the game was in 96 (not counting the terrible 3d attempts that became the downfall of Sensible Software), Sensible Soccer never went away thanks to its highly addictive gameplay and vast database of teams from around the world, creating possibilities to become champion infinite. SWOS has become part of the gaming canon as stated by Stanford University, amongst games as Tetris and Super Mario Bros 3. The Royal Mail celebrated its part in British video game history by releasing a Sensible Stamp last month.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**SWOS2020**
|
||||
A strong community (check out [www.sensiblesoccer.de](http://www.sensiblesoccer.de)) made sure the ball kept on rolling, with ways to play against each other online, rankings, as well as hosting the annual Sensible Days: the World Cup where players decide who's best. The highlight of this year though is the launch of **Sensible World of Soccer 2020**! Not only does it provide an up-to-date database with around 1,500 teams from all over the world (from The Netherlands to El Salvador; a huge community effort), it is also the first time that the game can be played on modern operating systems without using DOS- or Amiga-emulators. This time you can run the game straight from your Windows-desktop (of course, the database has also been released for the original Amiga version). You can even switch live between DOS and Amiga-gameplay, and choose for a beautiful wide screen mode on UltraHD resolutions. The game is available for free through below link (you do need to own the original version of the game though, but online search machines will help, or check out [www.gog.com ](http://www.gog.com )for a legal way to buy the game).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**VARIA CUP**
|
||||
We will play the cup in SWOS2020, which means you can play with your favourite team of the moment! Both experienced and unexperienced players are welcome. After a first qualifying round, the top half of the field will go and compete in the Pro Cup, the bottom half in the Amateur Cup; both cup winners will win a prize.

Wordt een 'goal scoring superstar hero' tijdens de **Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020**! Na twee competitieve toernooien bij WORM brengen we dit klassieke voetbalspel nu naar Rotterdam-Zuid. Bij Varia organiseren we zowel een amateurcup als een pro-cup - iedereen kan meedoen (letterlijk: in tegenstelling tot moderne voetbalsimulators kan je het spel spelen met een joystick en slechts één knop)! Alhoewel de laatste officiële versie alweer dateert uit 1996 (de matige 3d pogingen laten we maar buiten beschouwing), is Sensible Soccer nooit weggeweest. Dankzij een uiterst verslavende gameplay en een uitgebreide database van wereldwijde teams zijn de mogelijkheden om kampioen te worden oneindig. SWOS maakt volgens de Stanford universiteit deel uit van het spelkanon, samen met bijvoorbeeld Tetris en Super Mario Bros 3. De Royal Mail heeft zijn aandeel in de Britse spelgeschiedenis beloond met een Sensible postzegel afgelopen maand.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**SWOS2020**
|
||||
Het komt mede door een sterke community (zie ook [www.sensiblesoccer.de](http://www.sensiblesoccer.de)) dat de bal bleef rollen. Denk aan mogelijkheden om online tegen elkaar te spelen, ranglijsten, en de jaarlijkse Sensible Days: het WK waar uitgemaakt wordt wie de beste speler is. Het hoogtepunt van dit jaar is de release van Sensible World of Soccer 2020! Deze nieuwe versie biedt niet alleen een geupdate database met +/- 1.500 teams (van Nederland tot El Salvador!), het is ook de eerste keer dat het spel op huidige besturingssystemen gespeeld kan worden zonder gebruik te maken van DOS- of Amiga-emulatoren. Deze editie kan rechstreeks vanaf je Windows-desktop opgestart worden (natuurlijk is er ook een database voor de originele Amiga-versie beschikbaar voor de die-hards). Het is zelfs mogelijk te switchen tussen DOS en Amiga-gameplay en om te kiezen voor een fraaie breedbeeld-modus in UltraHD-resolutie. Het spel is als freeware te downloaden via onderstaande link (wel is het nodig het originele spel in bezit te hebben; online zoekmachines bieden uitkomt, of ga naar [www.gog.com ](http://www.gog.com )waar het spel verkocht wordt).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**VARIA CUP**
|
||||
Het toernooi wordt gespeeld in SWOS2020, wat betekent dat je met de favoriete club van dit moment kan spelen. Zowel ervaren als onervaren spelers zijn welkom. Na een selectieronde gaan de beste spelers strijden om de pro-cup, terwijl de andere helft strijdt om de amateurcup. Voor beide toernooien zijn er prijzen!

|

|

A new season has arrived; time for some fresh concerts at Varia! Kicking of the second half of 2019, we organize an event where three stirring acts will show their craft.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Able Noise is a baritone guitar/drum duo that is based in The Hague and Athens and consists of Alex and George. They indecisively balance themselves on the border between pop rock and noisy free jazz. With the help of tapes and by employing less consistent ways of playing their instruments, they create a somewhat minimal and rather visual musical performance.

|
||||
|
||||
Piyoji is the monikor of Dutch artist Rik Möhlmann. The music he makes has a distinct, liberating sound, characterized by a modest and direct way of recording musical sessions in which different textures are explored. Sounds appear from left to right, as if hidden behind trees or emerging from rivers. Möhlmann uses his eccentric and inquisitive approach to music to make songs that don't necessarily behave in a narrative way. Instead, his tracks expose themselves like little paintings

|
||||
|
||||
Goldblum is an eye blinding duo from Middelland messing around with flea market cassette tapes and analogue synthesizers. Expect fragments of golden oldies, crippled rhythms and synthesized sounds buried in tape hiss. The duo has cut their teeth in acts like Sweat Tongue and Red Brut.

Een nieuw seizoen is aangebroken; tijd voor een nieuwe concertreeks bij Varia! De tweede helft van 2019 begint meteen goed; met drie opwindende acts die allen hun kunsten bij ons zullen tonen:
|
||||
|
||||
Able Noise is een bariton gitaar / drum duo, gevestigd in Den Haag en Athene en bestaande uit Alex en George. Ze balanceren op de grens tussen poprock en lawaaierige free jazz. Met behulp van tapes en misbruik van hun instrumenten, creëren ze een ietwat minimale en vrij visuele muzikale beleving.

|
||||
|
||||
Piyoji is de naam waaronder de Nederlandse kunstenaar Rik Möhlmann onderscheidende bevrijdende geluiden maakt die worden gekenmerkt door bescheiden, doch directe texturen. Geluiden verplaatsen zich in zijn muziek van links naar rechts, alsof ze zich verschuilen achter bomen of opduiken uit rivieren. Möhlmann gebruikt zijn excentrieke en nieuwsgierige benadering van muziek om liedjes te maken die zich niet noodzakelijk verhalend gedragen. In plaats daarvan openbaren ze zich als kleine schilderijen

|
||||
|
||||
Goldblum is een oogverblindend duo uit Middelland dat rommelt met cassettes van de rommelmarkt en analoge synthesizers. Verwacht fragmenten van gouden oudjes, kreupele ritmes en gesynthetiseerde geluiden, begraven in sissende tape. Het duo heeft hun tanden eerder geslepen in acts als Sweat Tongue en Red Brut.

Algologs = a 1 + 1 day dialog with algorithmic practices. This two-day event is an extention of Algolit, a workgroup where text-based practices and algorithms meet. Algologs is part of a series of occurances meant to open up the usually Brussels-based Algolit meetings by inviting external speakers, presenters and participants to join the conversation. During Algologs, we will increase the % of engagement with everyday algorithms.
|
||||
|
||||
On Friday evening we explore a multiplication of Algoliterary ways of converting words to numbers x infrapunctural reliefs x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Together we will log algorithmic attitudes, voices and practices.
|
||||
|
||||
The presentations on Friday are followed by an Algolit session on Saturday, where we will host a collective dive into the clustering techniques of word-embeddings. We propose to look at a specific implementation of word-embeddings step-by-step, to use it as a source for recipies for small (code or non-code based) experiments.
|
||||
|
||||
Calling all extra-amateurs, protoprofessionals and circumstantial algologgers.

Algolit session: From words to numbers through word-embeddings
|
||||
|
||||
This session is special edition and part of a longer timeline of monthly Algolit gatherings organised by Constant in the WTC25 in Brussels. In 2018 Algolit decided to open the sessions, to allow incisive jump-in jump-out participation. More information & material around Algolit can be found on [algolit.net](http://algolit.net).
|
||||
|
||||
We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script [word2vec_basic.py](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec), and slowly slide into both code-based and non-code based experiments, depending on what the attendants are inclined towards. This work session is a moment to try things out yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Note to attendants: It would be good to bring a laptop. Not per se for the reason of working with code or digital tools (we are big enthusiasts of non-coding experiments!), but we usually take notes collectively or look at references. For that reason a laptop is a nice companion!

||||

Een nieuw jaar is aangebroken; Dennis (de Bel) is terug, de ruit ligt aan diggelen en l'intolerant #18 moet worden gelanceerd! Reden genoeg om bijeen te komen voor een drankje!
|
||||
|
||||
Deze vrijdag, 7 januari opent Varia om 19:30 de deuren voor een nieuwjaarsborrel met bijpassende muziek van DJ Listentomerijn.
|
||||
|
||||
Woodstone Kugelblitz zal dan de nieuwste editie van L'Intolerant presenteren: Nummer 18, A Really Useful Cookbook.
|
||||
|
||||
Iedereen is welkom en de toegang is uiteraard vrij. Echter, vrijwillige donatie van 5 euro helpen ons bij het vervangen van de ruit en worden zeer gewaardeerd!

*In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen word ook daar onzeker en duur. Omdat de BPW in deze regio relatief onbekend is en er lokaal ook een aantal mensen actief zijn, leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden.*
|
||||
|
||||
*Daarnaast zijn we bezig met het opzetten van een lokale afdeling van BPWérs in Rotterdam en in Den Haag. Heb je zin en tijd om mee te doen? Of heb je vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wees dan van harte welkom!*
|
||||
|
||||
**15:00 - 17:00, Huurdersspreekuur**
|
||||
|
||||
*Heb je vragen over (tijdelijke) huur, huisuitzettingen of bijv. onredelijke eisen van verhuurders, en wil je weten wat je rechten nu eigenlijk zijn? Tijdens ons huurdersspreekuur kunnen ervaren mensen van BPW je informeren over wat jij kunt doen in zo’n situatie.*
|
||||
|
||||
**19.30 - 21:00, BPW meet and greet**
|
||||
|
||||
*We geven een korte presentatie over de activiteiten die de Bond Precaire Woonvormen heeft ondernomen om woonzekerheid op te eisen voor bewoners. Welke methoden en doelen heeft de BPW en wat kunnen we samen doen om ons te organiseren. Zijn er geïnteresseerden om mee te doen met een lokale afdeling van BPWérs in de regio Den Haag/Rotterdam?*

‘Alles Flex?’ is the first episode of a 4 part web documentary series The Future of Work.
|
||||
Filmed in the Netherlands, Slovenija, Germany and Europe.

After David accepts an internship at the United Nations, they move into a small blue tent on the Geneva lakefront and begin documenting his unpaid intern experience. Their action sparks a global press storm, challenging their roles as filmmakers.
|
||||
|
||||
Meanwhile, Marisa works for a US presidential election campaign, while fending off harassment from her supervisors. Kyle interns for a fortune-500 company, while living in a New York homeless shelter.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these interns faces a choice: accept the system the way it is or put their careers on the line to speak out against it. Their actions help give visibility and strength to a growing global intern movement. Their journeys reveal the pressures which lead so many millennials to work for free while pop-culture extracts and testimonies from academics, politicians and employers give us a sense of how wide the internship phenomenon has spread.

summary: Once we were all promised a better tomorrow with robots, atomic powered cars and inflatable plastic homes. After the second world war the promises of technology made it seem like everything was possible. However, it seems like much of this optimism might have been a bit premature. Where is the dream of tomorrow now? Do we still dare to dream of the future?

summary: Eens werd ons allemaal een betere toekomst beloofd met robots, nucleair gedreven auto's en opblaasbare plastic huizen. Dankzij de beloftes van technologie die ontstonden na de Tweede Wereldoorlog leek het alsof alles mogelijk was. Maar het lijkt er daarentegen op dat veel van dit optimisme een beetje voorbarig is geweest. Waar is de droom van morgen nu? Durven we nog te dromen van de toekomst?

Tijdens de vijfde vertoning van onze Century 21 Calling-serie leren we hoe we veilig kunnen blijven in een onzekere wereld. Regels veranderen in de loop van de decennia; Wat ooit als volkomen veilig werd gezien, is nu simpelweg dodelijk. Hoe blijf je veilig in het verkeer? Wat zijn de gevaren op kantoor? Waar kunnen je kinderen veilig spelen? Deze vragen en vele andere komen tijdens deze informatieve avond aan bod.

De derde editie van Century 21 Calling is gewijd aan de ontwikkeling van
|
||||
satellietcommunicatie. Van de spiegelende kogels in de jaren 50 tot
|
||||
hedendaagse SATCOM systemen.
|
||||
|
||||
Hoe werken deze dingen? Hoe krijgt men ze de ruimte in? Wat gebeurt er
|
||||
als ze kapotgaan? En waarom zijn er geen kogelvormige satellieten meer?
|
||||
|
||||
Na de screening neemt mmths ons mee op een reis door het radiospectrum.
|
||||
In zijn performance bezoeken we de ontmoetingsplekken van
|
||||
satellietpiraten en worden we ondergedompeld in de ruis en signalen van
|
||||
spooksatellieten.
|
||||
|
||||
mmths is een geluidskunstenaar in Rotterdam. Hij is gefascineerd door
|
||||
wat er in het heelal gebeurt en zijn huidige werk gaat over de ontvangst
|
||||
van onbekende radiosignalen en satellieten als basis voor live
|
||||
performance en compositie.
|

“Century 21 Calling” gebruikt archiefmateriaal uit de industrie,

On the ***6th of February from 19:30 to 21:30***, Varia has the pleasure to host one of the nomadic Conversas evenings.
|
||||
|
||||
Conversas is a series of bi-weekly informal meetings made so that we can get to know each other, share projects, stories or interests.
|
||||
|
||||
During the event, three Conversadores (those who start the conversation) bring something to share with the gathered group, for thirty minutes each. As the title suggests, Conversas (Conversations in Portuguese) aim at an equal set up from which both the Conversadores and the group benefit. In this series, we are challenging our guests to not use a beamer, try to be creative and use only words and/or other objects to tell their story.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The three Conversadores for the session at Varia are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Karla de Witte (Dutch Love Letters)
|
||||
- Clara Mendes (Nude models, postcolonialism and museums)
|
||||
- Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressions around a flag)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Karla** is designer and educator of visual arts. <a href="www.facebook.com/pg/dutchloveletters/
|
||||
">DLL</a> started when two mothers met at a colorful schoolyard in Rotterdam. Both born and grown up in different parts of the world, sharing similar memories of New Year's Eve with waffles. Delicate and very thin made with great patience by their grandmothers.
|
||||
www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Clara** has recently moved from Portugal to The Netherlands to pursue her wish to learn more about how art impacts the lives of different people. She will talk about the projects she jumped into throughout her master's program in Arts and Society whilst she was still struggling to find her way around a new city.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After a 3 month artist residency (State of the City, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), **<a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a>** will present a flag which will be hoisted on top of the varia zone building. His conversation will be filled by digressions about different subjects more or less related to the flag.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The 13th series of ten <a href="www.facebook.com/conversasrotterdam">Conversas Rotterdam</a> starts on the 7th of November and runs every other Wednesday until the 20th of March. This series is happening in different locations spread through the city of Rotterdam. It is organized by Bérénice Staiger, Constança Saraiva, Marco Aperti, Zahra Said and Sebastian Helbers.
|
||||
|
||||
<a href="www.conversas.net">Conversas</a> is a project initiated in Lisbon by Constança Saraiva and Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Nowadays, it's a project of many people and cities.
|
||||
|
||||
Events are open to all and the entrance is free.

Op de ***6 februari van 19.30 tot 21.30 uur*** heeft Varia het genoegen om een van de nomadische Conversas-avonden te ontvangen.
|
||||
|
||||
Conversas is een reeks van tweewekelijkse informele ontmoetingen om elkaar te leren kennen, projecten, verhalen of interesses te delen.
|
||||
|
||||
Tijdens het evenement brengen drie Conversadores (degenen die het gesprek beginnen) gedurende dertig minuten elk iets te delen met de verzamelde groep. Zoals de titel al doet vermoeden, streeft Conversas (Conversations in Portuguese) naar een gelijkwaardige opzet waar zowel de Conversadores als de groep baat bij hebben. In deze serie dagen we onze gasten uit om geen beamer te gebruiken, creatief te zijn en alleen woorden en/of andere objecten te gebruiken om hun verhaal te vertellen.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
De drie Conversadores voor de sessie bij Varia zijn dat wel:
|
||||
|
||||
- Karla de Witte (Nederlandse liefdesbrieven)
|
||||
- Clara Mendes (Naakt modellen, postkolonialisme en musea)
|
||||
- Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressies rond een vlag)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Karla** is ontwerper en docent beeldende kunst. <a href="www.facebook.com/pg/dutchloveletters/">DLL</a> begon toen twee moeders elkaar ontmoetten op een kleurrijk schoolplein in Rotterdam. Zowel geboren als opgegroeid in verschillende delen van de wereld, met wafels die soortgelijke herinneringen aan oud en nieuw delen. Delicaat en zeer dun gemaakt met veel geduld door hun grootmoeders.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Clara** is onlangs verhuisd van Portugal naar Nederland om haar wens na te streven om meer te weten te komen over de impact van kunst op het leven van verschillende mensen. Ze zal vertellen over de projecten waar ze tijdens haar masteropleiding Kunst en Maatschappij in is gesprongen terwijl ze nog worstelde om haar weg te vinden in een nieuwe stad.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Na een residentie van 3 maanden (Staat van de Stad, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), presenteert **<a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a>** een vlag die bovenop het varia-zonegebouw wordt gehesen. Zijn gesprek wordt gevuld met uitweidingen over verschillende onderwerpen die min of meer met de vlag te maken hebben.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
De 13e serie van tien <a href="www.facebook.com/conversasrotterdam">Conversas Rotterdam</a> begint op 7 november en loopt elke andere woensdag tot 20 maart. Deze serie vindt plaats op verschillende locaties verspreid door de stad Rotterdam. Het wordt georganiseerd door Bérénice Staiger, Constança Saraiva, Marco Aperti, Zahra Said en Sebastian Helbers.

**Crimson Butterfly (Russia)** is a cosmoenergetic alliance of two cats with synths and laptop. Physical bodies of the band are located in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, the sounds have been created for more than ten years. For this period different genres had been tried: coldwave with mysterious autist singer, then synthpop with two lead singers, and currently the band returned to what it had started with: improvisational abstract electronic. The band makes very intense and hypnotic music with dance and ambient elements, improvisational by nature. People often call it "experimental". Crimson Butterfly love to give concerts and play at any venues from vaults to museums in any cities from Balashikha to Barcelona. Their faces are so beautiful that they hide them behind the masks and all their unforgettable shows are always accompanied by hipnotic visual sequences.

**Evamuss (Peru/The Netherlands)** was a project of the Peruvian Chrs Galarreta (aka: Sajjra, DiosMeHaViolado, Tica, among others alias). This project was very active in the underground Lima scene between 1997-2003. Evamuss have 9 solo albums published on very limited editions, also appears in a lot of collaborations and compilations of that period. At the beginning Evamuss used home made amps, oscillators, pedal effects and toy keywords , last years it will include the misuse of computer and the pirate software. Error and non-functionality were welcome in its process. On November 2017, Evamuss resurrects with a pair of self-hacked synth toys, some effects, hand made sequencers furbished in collaboration with some hackers in Paruro (the legendary electronic black market's in Lima City). In the current days its sounds mutated towards a warm and humid analog jungle. Its recent - 2018- assaults included tours between Portugal, Spain, Lithuania, Russia, The Netherlands and a publication of a release in Favela Discos (Porto).

** Crimson Butterfly (Rusland) ** is een kosmoenergetische alliantie van twee katten met synths en laptop. De fysieke lichamen van de band bevinden zich in Nizhniy Novgorod, Rusland, maar de geluiden zijn al meer dan tien jaar geleden gemaakt. Voor deze periode hadden zij al verschillende genres geprobeerd: coldwave met een mysterieuze autistische zangeres, vervolgens synthpop met twee leadzangers, om daarna terug te keren naar waar alles mee begonnen was: improvisatie en abstracte elektronica. De band maakt zeer intense en hypnotiserende muziek met dans en ambient elementen, improviserend van aard. Mensen noemen het vaak 'experimenteel'. Crimson Butterfly houdt ervan om concerten te geven en te spelen op locaties zoals kluizen van musea, ergens tussen Balashikha en Barcelona. Hun gezichten zijn zo mooi dat ze zich achter maskers verbergen en al hun onvergetelijke shows worden vergezeld door heupnotische visuele sequenties.

** Evamuss (Peru / Nederland) ** was een project van de Peruviaanse Chrs Galarreta (ook bekend als Sajjra, DiosMeHaViolado en Tica). Dit project was tussen 1997 en 2003 erg actief in de ondergrondse scene van Lima. Evamuss heeft 9 solo-albums gepubliceerd in zeer beperkte oplage en verscheen ook op veel samenwerkingen en compilaties uit die periode. In het begin gebruikte Evamuss zelfgemaakte versterkers, oscillatoren, pedaaleffecten en speelgoed-sleutelwoorden, later richtte hij zich ook op het misbruik van computers en piraten-software. Fouten en niet-functionaliteit zijn welkom in het proces. In november 2017 herrees Evamuss met een paar zelf-gehackte synthspeeltjes, een paar effecten en enkele met de hand gemaakte sequencers die in samenwerking met enkele hackers in Paruro (de legendarische elektronische zwarte markt in Lima City) zijn vervaardigd. De geluiden zijn nu gemuteerd in de richting van een warme en vochtige analoge jungle.

|
||||
|
||||
Over the last couple of centuries rapid changes in technology, economic fluctuation, technological replacement and planned obsolescence have resulted in a fast-growing surplus of (electronic) waste around the globe. An equally growing demand has risen for the re-purposing, repair, disposal and salvaging of this material, generating different methods that each have their own impact on the economy and environment. Among others, some relevant questions arise from this matter:
|
||||
|
||||
* What values construct our contemporary attitude towards waste?
|
||||
* Is it perhaps an obsession with utility?
|
||||
* What are the artistic merits of repair?
|
||||
|
||||
In this workshop, hosted by Yoana Buzova and Niek Hilkmann, we will take a look at the implications of recycling (electronic) waste. This will happen in a hands-on workshop in which we will visit places where ‘waste’ is being gathered and turn the concept of repair and recycle upside down. Departing from the idea that uselessness, like a haiku poem, contains a certain subversive potential, we will rework a utility object into something quite useless.

## Maak en onderhoud een off-line digitale gemeenschapsbibliotheek
|
||||
|
||||
Bibliotecha is een systeem voor het beheren van off-line digitale bibliotheken. Met Bibliotecha kunnen gemeenschappen collecties van digitale publicaties aanleggen en delen in een op een fysieke locatie. De onderliggende techniek bestaat uit een 'single board computer' (zoals een RaspberryPi) die op basis van vrije software door middel van een speciale open Wi-fi hotspot het mogelijk maakt de collectie in te zien. Gebruikers kunnen met een laptop, telefoon of tablet verbinding maken met deze hotspot en via de browser publicaties uitnemen of doneren. Aangezien het stroomverbruik zeer gering is kan Bibliotecha draaien vanaf een USB powerbank zodat het overal mee te nemen is.
|
||||
|
||||
Tijdens de workshop leren wordt er veel aandacht besteed aan het process van het installeren van Bibliotecha. Zodoende krijg je als deelnemer een grondige introductie in de onderliggende vrije software, het werken met de RaspberryPi en een introductie in Calibre, het de software om je collectie mee te beheren. Het tweede deel van de workshop is een sessie waarin we met elkaar boeken delen en kennis uitwisselen op het gebied van het beginnen en onderhouden van een off-line digitale bibliotheek voor een gemeenschap.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*Tegen het einde van de workshop hebben deelnemers een grondige introductie gehad in het werken met de 'command line', het werken met Linux-gebaseerde systemen en het werken met de RaspberryPi.
|
||||
*Bovendien zul je de ins- en outs van het beheren van een digitale collectie meekrijgen met o.a metadatabeheer en bestandsformaten.
|
||||
*En niet het minste: deelnemers kunnen een werkende Bibliotecha mee naar huis nemen.

In our understanding, food as a commodity finds its most revealing expression in the form of the cake. In this workshop we investigate the history of culinary hegemony by collectively baking a specific sweet recipe that showcases the way we perceive and partake in food today. Not only will we be analysing the origins of specific ingredients and recipes, we will also focus on the political economy and class dynamics that engender taste and ingredient accessibility. The actual confection of this cake will provide us with an opportunity to hack into the requirments involved in such practices and turn the table around.
|
||||
|
||||
The workshop will be divided into two practical phases: the recipe analysis phase and the cake baking phase. During the recipe analysis phase we will be looking at each of the required ingredients of our cake of choice and evaluate whether they meet our 'considerate' standards. If they don't, we will consider possible alternatives. During the cake baking phase participants will actually bake the cake, according to our new considerate recipe.

Voedsel als handelswaar vindt wellicht zijn meest onthullende expressie in de vorm van de taart. In deze workshop onderzoeken we de geschiedenis van culinaire hegemonie door gezamenlijk een specifiek zoet recept te bakken dat de wijze laat zien waarop we voedsel vandaag waarnemen en consumeren. Niet alleen zullen we de oorsprong van specifieke ingrediënten en recepten analyseren, we zullen ons ook richten op de politieke economie en klassendynamiek die toegankelijkheid van deze smaken en ingrediënten teweegbrengen. De daadwerkelijke confectie van een taart biedt ons de mogelijkheid om de voorwaarden van dergelijke praktijken ter discussie te stellen.
|
||||
|
||||
De workshop zal worden onderverdeeld in twee praktische fasen: de receptanalysefase en de taartbakfase. Tijdens de receptanalysefase zullen we elk van de vereiste ingrediënten van de door ons gekozen taart analyseren en evalueren of deze voldoen aan onze 'attente' normen. Als ze dat niet doen, zullen we mogelijke alternatieven overwegen. Tijdens de taartbakfase zullen de deelnemers aan de workshop de taart daadwerkelijk bakken, volgens ons nieuwe attente recept.

## Homebrew server fundamentals
|
||||
|
||||
The homebrewserver.club is part of a larger 'self-hosting' movement where
|
||||
people try to host on-line services such as websites, mail, calendars and chat
|
||||
themselves. They do so in order to avoid reliance on the corporate services of
|
||||
GAFA(google, amazon, facebook, apple), with all the consequences that has. The
|
||||
homebrewserver.club takes the 'home' in homebrewserver.club literally and the
|
||||
'self' in self-hosting figuratively.
|
||||
|
||||
That means we try to host from our homes rather than from datacenters and for
|
||||
and with our communities rather than just ourselves. We host from home from an
|
||||
understanding that paying for a home internet subscription means you use the
|
||||
connection not only to download but also to upload. We learn about this
|
||||
together knowing that it becomes easier, more fun and empowering than when one
|
||||
does so alone.
|
||||
|
||||
During the workshop, we will help participants through the fundamentals of
|
||||
setting up a basic web server and all that entails. We will explore the
|
||||
possibilities of low power hardware (either old or single-board computers),
|
||||
understanding network topologies, re-configuring routers and exposing ports for
|
||||
hosting our own websites outside of the 'cloud'.
|
||||
|
||||
Among others, participants will be learning how to:
|
||||
a) access a remote computer via the terminal
|
||||
b) install web server software and set up a simple web page
|
||||
c) configure a router to make their server accessible from the internet
|
||||
|
||||
No previous experience is required. If you have any old computer lying at home
|
||||
that you would like to turn into a server, please bring it along! Otherwise, we
|
||||
will have some material available that participants can use during the
|
||||
workshop.

## Off the centralitarian HTTP path.
|
||||
|
||||
In recent years, new peer-to-peer protocols have appeared that attempt to decentralise the transmission of information over the internet. Instead of one central machine delivering information to many others, the focus has shifted to enabling all machines to serve files to one another. The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol constitutes one of these attempts: a distributed file system that seeks all computing devices with the same system of files for storing and sharing.
|
||||
|
||||
IPFS has raised the interest of many communities, from archivists to activists. Versioning, resiliency and availability make it a useful infrastructure builder for digital archivists, while its distributed nature has enabled groups of people to circumvent censorship. For instance, the 2017 referendum website of Catalonia, which was mirrored on IPFS after the original website was shut down by the Spanish government.
|
||||
|
||||
During this workshop, we will look at the successes, the pitfalls and the potential of this protocol. We will install it, go through the basics, discuss how it differs from other P2P protocols like dat and what types of usage it enables.
|
||||
|
||||
* This workshop will last for 8 hours and a laptop will be necessary.
|
||||
* Prior knowledge of command line would be good, but is not obligatory.

## Van het gecentraliseerde HTTP pad af
|
||||
|
||||
In de afgelopen jaren zijn er nieuwe peer-to-peer protocollen verschenen die de overdracht van informatie over het internet proberen te decentraliseren. In plaats van één centrale machine die informatie aan vele andere computers levert, is de focus verschoven naar het mogelijk maken van het aan elkaar doorgeven van bestanden op alle machines. Het InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol is een van deze pogingen: een gedistribueerd bestandssysteem dat het mogelijk maakt in het hele netwerk bestanden te zoeken, verspreid op te slaan en te delen.
|
||||
|
||||
IPFS heeft de interesse van veel gemeenschappen gewekt, van archivisten tot activisten. De mogelijkheid verschillende versies van bestanden bij te houden, de weerbarstigheid van het netwerk en de toegenomen beschikbaarheid van bestanden maken het een nuttige bouwsteen voor zowel digitale archivarissen als groepen die censuur willen omzeilen. Een voorbeeld is de website voor het referendum van Catalonië in 2017, die op IPFS nog beschikbaar was nadat de oorspronkelijke website door de Spaanse regering werd gesloten.
|
||||
|
||||
Tijdens deze workshop kijken we naar de successen, de valkuilen en de mogelijkheden van dit protocol. We zullen IPFS installeren, de basis doornemen, bespreken hoe het verschilt van andere P2P protocollen en wat voor toepassingen mogelijk zijn.
|
||||
|
||||
* Deze workshop duurt 8 uur en een laptop is noodzakelijk.
|
||||
* Voorafgaande kennis van IPFS zou goed zijn, maar is niet verplicht.
|
||||

||||
Deze workshop is geïnitieerd door Cristina Cochior, Silvio Lorusso en Julie Boschat Thorez.

We will also include hardware and sound explorations.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A feminist approach to technology takes into consideration the social and political context around it. It pushes the boundaries of technological circles, in order to include gender-diverse people, amateurs, or others who have experienced low or high levels of exclusion in tech environments. They also include cultural, artistic and educational practices that are approaching technology, not as an end in itself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The idea started after participating in **/ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)** in Athens, which is a gathering of feminists, who critically use/study/share/improve everyday information technologies in the context of the free software and open hardware movements.
|
||||
|
||||
|

|

Floppy Totaal visits Varia for another round of dual-layered action. At "Floppy Totaal: Double Density" you can join members of the Floppy Kick music label during a live recording and publishing workshop in the afternoon. The subsequent evening program is filled to the brim with performances by Kisszántó and Eoforwine, presentations and conversations with Joak and Jason Scott and a long distance contribution by Michael Ridge.
|
||||
|
||||
The emphasis of the event lies on the concept of the floppy disk as comfort food in a "future/present shocked" digital age. In what way does working with floppy disks help us cope in a time preoccupied with "new" media and planned obsolescence? Does the floppy disk hold more content than just 1,44 MB of data? Join us to find out!

* Floppy Kick Workshop
|
||||
|
||||
Floppy Kick Records is a not-for-profit, floppy-only label that was formed in Budapest in 2013. All its releases are handmade and any "income" they produce goes straight into future releases. They take a non-political, yet critical position by explicitally rejecting any racism, sexism, homophobic or other forms of radicalism on their releases, choosing to instead focus on the beauty of sound. This can be in any style; experimental, noise, ambient, musique concrète, dark sounds, hnw, avantgarde, field recordings, industrial, power electronics, lo-fi, grindcore, or anything interesting. They believe in physical formats and respect their collectors. During their workshop at Floppy Totaal you can contribute to Floppy Kick by helping out with the recording and releasing of a brand new floppy release.

* Floppy Totaal
|
||||
|
||||
Floppy Totaal is a Rotterdam based initiative by Niek Hilkmann, Thomas Walskaar and Lídia Pereira that investigates the reuse and re-purposing of 'outdated' technology as a cultural phenomenon. By examining the contemporary usage of the iconic floppy diskette, they hope to assess the way past technology is integrated into our culture today, as well as its future potential. The goal of the project is to inject the debate surrounding obsolescent media with new enthusiasm and stimulate a critical approach to the topic with the help of extensive field research in the realm of the floppy disk.

summary: Heath Bunting visits Varia to share his past and present projects against control systems, in conversation with Florian Cramer and the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Heath Bunting** is an artist based in the UK who, for more than thirty years, has questioned and undermined systems of control and communication. He began as a street artist putting up fly posters in public spaces, belonged to the first generation of net.artists in the 1990s where he found (and ran the server of) [irational.org](http://www.irational.org/), but turned away from the Internet in 1998, seeing its corporate takeover as early as in that year.
|
||||
|
||||
He set up several radio stations, collaborated with Kate Rich on alternative distribution systems for goods and workshops for trespassing private property. For his "Identity Bureau', he investigated ways for people to legally obtain a new names and identities using loopholes in the bureaucracies of Western countries (and gave an Identity Bureau workshop in 2014 at Wlfrt Projectspace Rotterdam). In his daily life and travels, he strictly avoids use of electronic systems that make him traceable, including bank cards and mobile phones.
|
||||
|
||||
The above is only a small fraction of his activities in working against control systems. **Florian Cramer **will have a two-hour conversation with Heath Bunting on his past and present projects, with the aim to share Heath's knowledge and experience with the audience. This will be followed, at 16.00, by heath's critical feedback on the current activities of [**the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse**](http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html) in Rotterdam.

summary: Heath Bunting gaat bij Varia in gesprek met Florian Cramer en the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse. Hierbij gaat hij in op projecten uit het heden en verleden en zijn voortdurende strijd tegen controlesystemen.
|
||||
|
||||
** Heath Bunting ** is een in Engeland gevestigde kunstenaar die al meer dan dertig jaar controle- en communicatiesystemen in twijfel trekt en ondermijnt. Hij begon als street artist door posters op te hangen in de openbare ruimte, behoorde tot de eerste generatie van net.artists in de jaren negentig, waar hij [irational.org](http: //www.irational.org) oprichtte (en de server runde), maar keerde zich in 1998 van het internet af toen hij diens bedrijfsovername daarvan voorzag.
|
||||
|
||||
Hij richtte verschillende radiostations op en werkte samen met Kate Rich aan workshops voor het betreden van privébezit en aan alternatieve distributiesystemen voor goederen. Voor zijn 'Identity Bureau' project onderzocht hij manieren voor individuën om legaal een nieuwe naam en identiteit te verkrijgen via de bureaucratische mazen van westerse landen (in 2014 gaf hij een Identity Bureau workshop in Wlfrt Projectspace Rotterdam). In zijn dagelijkse leven, vermijdt Bunting strikt het gebruik van elektronische systemen die hem traceerbaar maken, waaronder bankkaarten en mobiele telefoons.
|
||||
|
||||
Het bovenstaande is slechts een klein deel van zijn activiteiten en strijd tegen controlesystemen. ** Florian Cramer ** zal een gesprek van twee uur met Heath Bunting voeren over zijn vroegere en huidige projecten, met als doel de kennis en ervaring van Heath met het publiek te delen. Hierop volgt om 16.00 uur kritische feedback van Heath op de huidige activiteiten van [** the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse **](http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html) in Rotterdam.

A monthly gathering for those who (wish to) host their own online services from home, rather than using commercial and privacy unfriendly alternatives. Together we config and work on our homebrew server setups. These are low-cost, low-power, low-maintenance, high-fun computers through which we can host all of our online necessities and keep them out of the cloud. The club meetings are open for anyone, from more experienced users to interested beginners. During the homebrewserver.club meetings we exchange tips or look into particular topics together. As we gain more knowledge about a topic, we write and publish guides for others to share.

Een maandelijkse bijeenkomst voor mensen die hun online diensten zelf (willen) hosten. Dit on niet afhankelijk te hoeven zijn van commerciele diensten met al hun nadelen. De club kijkt gezamelijk naar hoe bepaalde diensten (chat, agenda, online opslag etc) kunnen worden opgezet op hun 'homebrew servers'. Deze homebrew servers zijn goedkope, energiezuinige, onderhoudsarme computers waarmee men in eigen beheer diensten online kan gebruiken.
|
||||
|
||||
De club is bedoeld voor zowel gevorderde als beginnende deelnemers. De resultaten van onze bijeekomsten verwerken we tot guides en artikels die de technieken contextualiseren en stap voor stap uitleggen hoe je ze zelf kan uitvoeren.

Varia gets a visit; from Inox Kapell, the insect man from Wespbaden. On December 16 he will give a short lecture about everything that concerns him. In addition, we serve some soup.
|
||||
|
||||
Inox Kapell loves insects. As a child he was already obsessed by these creatures and documented them. Today he takes people on insect excursions, for example in castle Freudenberg. He makes films, music and art from and about them, including his work with the Dadaist band 'Ordnungsamt et la politesse’. Besides that he is the founder of the 'Insektium', an insect-related museum / gallery / happeningraum in Berlin. According to him, insects are often wrongly condemned, but he can mediate between humans and insects as a sort of ambassador.

||||
|
||||
A few of his words:

||||
|
||||
was ist es wenn die insekten sterben? was ist dann noch?
|

Inox Kapell is dol op insecten. Als kind observeerde en documenteerde hij deze wezens al. Vandaag de dag neemt hij mensen mee op insectenexcursies, bijvoorbeeld in kasteel Freudenberg. Hij maakt films, muziek en kunst van en over insecten, onder andere in de dadaistische band ‘Ordnungsamt et la politesse’. Bovendien is hij de oprichter van het ‘Insektium’, een insect-gerelateerd museum/galerie/happeningraum in Berlijn. Naar eigen zeggen worden insecten vaak onterecht veroordeeld en is hij degene die tussen ambassadeur mens en insect kan mediëren.

A few months have passed since the 11th issue of the [Pervasive Labour Union zine](http://ilu.servus.at/) was launched, but the topics that were touched upon are yet to be digested. Focused on the "entreprecariat", the issue is an exploration of the multiple ways in which entrepreneurial ideas, models and approaches relate to the perception of precarity. To expand on the reflections that emerged from this informal publication, Varia is hosting some of its contributors. After an introduction of the Pervasive Labour Union zine project, there will be a conversation between Alina Lupu, Gui Machiavelli and Lídia Pereira moderated by Silvio Lorusso. The guests will discuss their contribution to the zine, as well as the relationship between their practice, emerging work standards, and the current state of education. Furthermore, there will be an open gaming session of two (or maybe more!) videogames which were reviewed in the zine, such as ["It Is As If You Were Doing Work"](https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html) by Pippin Barr and ["The Founder"](http://thefounder.biz/) by Francis Tseng.

Het is al een tijdje terug dat de 11de editie van de [Pervasive Labour Union zine](http://ilu.servus.at/) is verschenen, maar de discussie over onderwerpen van die uitgave aansneed is echter nog niet uitgewoed. Centraal in die uitgave stond het idee van het ['entreprecariat'](http://networkcultures.org/entreprecariat/) en de verschillende bijdragen boden allen verschillende inzichten over hoe om te gaan met de samenkomst van ondernemersideologie en precariteit. Om verder in te gaan op de bijdragen in van de zine organiseert Varia een avond met enkele van de auteurs.
|
||||
|
||||
De avond zal aanvangen met een introductie van het Pervasive Labour Union zine project door Lídia Pereira. Daarna volgt een gesprek tussen Alina Lupu, Gui Machiavelli dat wordt gemodereerd door Silvio Lorusso. Onderwerp van gesprek zullen de individuele bijdragen van de auteurs aan de zine zijn, alsmede de relatie tussen hun praktijk, ontwikkelingen op het vlak van hedendaagse arbeid en de huidige staat van het onderwijs. Daarnaast zal er mogelijkheid zijn om een aantal van de games te spelen die in de 11de editie van PLU zijn besproken, waaronder ["It Is As If You Were Doing Work"](https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html) van Pippin Barr en ["The Founder"](http://thefounder.biz/) van Francis Tseng.

Er is meer tussen hemel en aarde dan de mens! Op 15 maart besteden we daarom aandacht aan “levenloze” object in ons midden. Op de stenen vloer van Varia zullen een vijftal artiesten te zien zijn die een intieme relatie met hun naaimachines, broodroosters, ventilatoren, waterkokers en opgeviste werkhandschoenen durven aan te gaan. Dit alles onder het mom van ‘The Call Of The Kettle’; de eerste object georienteerde muziekavond bij Varia! Tijdens dit evenement zullen er optredens te zien zijn van de volgende artiesten:
|
||||
|
||||
** Agente Costura en Stephen Doyle ** is een duo dat geïmproviseerde geluiden speelt met behulp van versterkte naaimachine en drums. Constura speelt al sinds 2003 op de Singer. Overdag werkt ze met ongewenste kleding en transformeert die in nieuwe draagbare vormen. 's Nachts sluit de Singer zich aan bij haar medemuzikanten en naait zij op het ritme van de muziek. Zo improviseert zij kleding op basis van ritme en geluid. Costura heeft onder meer opgetreden in The Vancouver Art Gallery, de Month of Performance Art Berlin, het Bimhuis Amsterdam en de Curitiba Fashion Week. Stephen Doyle is een drummer die woont en werkt in Amsterdam. Costura en Doyle creëren samen een percussieve upcycled stortvloed van uniek gebeeldhouwd geluid.

|
||||
|
||||
**Watt's Cookin'** bestaat uit Zeynep Aslan, Tamara van Suylekom en Inge Hoonte, die elkaar hebben leren kennen via re#sister en repeteren bij Worm. Voor deze performance gaan ze knallen en klooien met dagelijkse objecten. Ze repeteren momenteel in de keuken met hun orkestleden, waaronder waterkokers en koffiepercolators, een mes en een snijplank, een paar potten met noten, rijst en maïs, een mini-oven, twee pannen, twee theelepels en een eierklopper. Een broodrooster en een blik kokosmelk aarzelen nog of mee willen doen, maar waarschijnlijk loopt dat wel los!
|
||||
|
||||
** De Brut ** is een nieuw project van Marijn Verbiesen, die volgens bronnen "een van de krachten is die de Rotterdamse underground bij elkaar houdt!" Ze heeft deelgenomen aan tal van projecten (Sweat Tongue, Red Brut) en is actief als een van de organisatoren van de beruchte Herman concertreeks. Daarnaast staat Verbiesen bekend om haar tapecollages die zeer persoonlijk zijn en hoog aangeschreven staan door bladen als The Wire.

|
||||
|
||||
** Beachcombartband ** is een "one-man-sea-trash-band" uit Rotterdam met kunstenaar Bart Koppe aan het roer. Het mechanisch en met de hand bespeelde afval van het schoongeveegde strand zal door hem op uw hoofd worden geloosd, in een netwerk van audio-galactische bevrediging!
|
||||
|
||||
** The Singing Toaster ** is niet zoals andere broodroosters, omdat niet elke broodrooster kan zingen. Daarom is deze bijdrage aan "The Call Of The Kettle" nu al een beetje bijzonder. Zullen de verbrande kruimels tussen zijn verwarmingselementen ook uw hart kunnen verwarmen?

There is more between heaven and earth than humankind! Therefore, we would like to direct your attention to your fellow "inanimate" object on the 15th of March. On this day five special acts will showcase their intimate relationship with their sewing machines, toasters, fans and working gloves. All this under the guise of 'The Call Of The Kettle'; the first object oriented music evening at Varia! During this event there will be performances by the following artists:
|
||||
|
||||
** Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle ** are a duo playing improvised sounds, on amplified sewing machine and drums. Constura has been playing the Singer since 2003. In the daytime she tackles unwanted clothing, transforming them into new wearable shapes. At night, the Singer joins her fellow musicians and Lisa sews to the beat of the music, improvising on clothing based on rhythm and sound. Lisa has performed extensively, for instance at The Vancouver Art Gallery, the Month of Performance Art Berlin, the Bimhuis Amsterdam, and Curitiba Fashion Week. Stephen Doyle is a drummer, living and working in Amsterdam. His sounds have previously graced the creations of Dagora, 78rpm, and many more. Together, Costura and Doyle create a percussive upcycled torrent of uniquely sculpted sound.

|

|
||||
** Watt’s Cookin’ ** is composed of Zeynep Aslan, Tamara van Suylekom and Inge Hoonte who met through re#sister and rehearse at Worm. For this performance, the three have teamed up to bang, clang and tinker with everyday household items. They are currently rehearsing in Inge's kitchen with the orchestra members they’ve interested to participate, such as water cookers and coffee percolators, a knife and a cutting board, a few jars with nuts, rice, and corn, and a couple of empty jars, a mini oven, two pans, two tea spoons and an egg beater. A bread toaster and a coconut milk can are hesitant if they want to join this upbeat troupe, but they will probably fit right in!
|
||||
|
||||
** De Brut ** is a new project by Marijn Verbiesen who, according to sources, is "one of the forces that keeps the Rotterdam underground together!" She has participated in numerous projects (Sweat Tongue, Red Brut) and is active as one of the organizers of the infamous Herman concert series. Besides that Verbiesen is renowned for her tape collages that are highly personal and highly regarded by magazines like The Wire.

|
||||
|
||||
** Beachcombartband ** is a one-man-sea-trash-band from Rotterdam, helmed by none other than Bart Koppe. He performs with a collection of marine debris, played by mechanics and by hand. He will sweep the beach and throw its garbage on your head, in a maze of audio galactic joyfulness.
|
||||
|
||||
** The Singing Toaster ** is not like other toasters, because not every toaster is able to sing. Therefore the inclusion of this one during ‘the call of the kettle’ is somewhat of an occasion. Will the burned crumbs between its heating elements be enough to warm your heart?

What shapes the daily routine of a telemarketing sales agent? How to go beyond the co-working model when it comes to organize a place for collaboration? What's the territorial and political role of furniture within the semi-domestic area of the artist's studio? Are life hacks a form of liberation or yet another burden? Together with author and designer François Girard-Meunier, the WORKNOT! collective (Arvand Pourabbasi and Golnar Abbasi), Varia, the Centre for Everyday Technology (represented by Roel Roscam Abbing, Manetta Berends and Niek Hilkmann) and XPUB (the Experimental Publishing program of the Piet Zwart Institute), we will tackle these and more questions during an evening dedicated to spaces that are at once entrepreneurial and precarious.
|
||||
|
||||
Life Hacks is part of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s fellowship program around the theme of ‘burn out’. As 2017 fellow Ramon Amaro states, *“on the one hand, to ‘burn out’ is to stall, break, or become otherwise unusable. In other words, processes, procedure and participation simply stop working. On the other hand, ‘burn out’ is an opportunity to break open, promote action and catalyse change towards new structures and relations.”*
|
||||
|
||||
Life Hacks manifests in a series of gatherings that respond to this ambivalence by exploring the approaches and techniques adopted to design or redesign life against the backdrop of growing precarity and an intensified entrepreneurial regime.
|
||||
|
||||
Together with theorists, practitioners and XPUB, the Experimental Publishing program of the Piet Zwart Institute, Life Hacks looks into the tensions and releases that emerge from the constant reinvention and progressive self-optimization necessary to inhabit public and private space, manage time and productivity, and tweak one's own thoughts and feelings.
|
||||
|
||||
Life Hacks is curated by Silvio Lorusso, and jointly organized by HNI’s Research Department and XPUB.

Wat vormt de dagelijkse routine van een telemarketeer? Hoe kunnen we voorbij gaan aan *co-working* als model voor ruimtes voor samenwerking? Wat zijn de territoriale en politieke functies van meubels in de context van de kunststudio-aan-huis? Werken *lifehacks* bevrijdend of zijn ze een extra last?
|
||||
|
||||
Samen met auteur en vormgever [François Girard-Meunier](https://www.francoisgm.com/), het [WORKNOT! collectief](https://worknot.info/) (Arvand Pourabbasi and Golnar Abbasi), [Varia](https://varia.zone) (vertegenwoordigd door Manetta Berends, Niek Hilkmann, Roel Roscam Abbing) en [XPUB](http://xpub.nl) gaan we deze en meer vragen aan tijdens een avond gewijd aan ruimtes die zowel ondernemend als precair zijn.

|
||||
Life Hacks is onderdeel van het fellowship-programma van Het Nieuwe Instituut met het thema 'burn out'. Zoals verwoord door *fellow* Ramon Amaro:
|
||||
|
||||
*“aan de ene kant is een 'burn out' een moment van stilstand, van breken of van andersinds onbruikbaar worden. Met andere woorden, processesen, procedures en participatie werkt gewoon niet meer. Aan de andere kant is een 'burn out' een mogelijkheid om open te breken, om actie te bevorderen en verandering te catalyseren richting nieuwe structuren en relaties.”*
|
||||
|
||||
*Life Hacks* is een serie bijeenkomsten met die reageren op deze ambivalenties. Deze bijeenkomsten gaan over benaderingen en technieken die helpen bij het (hernieuwd) vormgeven van een leven in de context van toenemende onzekerheid en afgedwongen ondernemersmentaliteit.
|
||||
|
||||
Life Hacks wordt gecureerd door Silvio Lorusso en is een samenwerking tussen het Research Department van Het Nieuwe Instituut en XPUB.

Toonhoogte, timbre, textuur, volume, duur en vorm; Dit zijn de geheime ingrediënten van de meeste composities. De vraag blijft echter; Is er ook ruimte voor iets extra's? En wat zou dat extra element kunnen zijn? Tijdens Maximum Velocity richten we ons op 'velocity' door concerten te presenteren van muzikanten die met snelheid en beweging werken in hun composities en uitvoeringen!
|
||||
|
||||
Ditevenement bestaat uit de volgende elementen:
|
||||
|
||||
**Bismuth** is een tweemansformatie, opgebouwd uit experimenteel instrumentenbouwer Yuri Landman en multi-instrumentalist Arnold van de Velde (ex-Feverdream). Samen bespelen zij een ruimtevullende hoeveelheid zelfgebouwde instrumenten, gemaakt uit hout, staal, snaren, motoren en electronica. Dzee bonte collectie instrumenten leidt tot een ritmische samensmelting van experimentele noise rock, dance en gamelan.

||||
**good cop / naughty cop** maak directe elektronische composities met zelfgeprogrammeerde software en zelf gemaakte controllers. Ze streven naar een fysieke benadering van elektronische muziek (en in het bijzonder realtime synthese) door het gebruik van objecten als fietsen, radio's, FM-zenders en kleine zonnecelsynths bij hun uitvoeringen. Hun muziek - soms omschreven als 'geïmproviseerde noise ambient' - wordt beïnvloed door de muziek en ideeën van artiesten als John Cage, Tim Hecker, John Zorn en Captain Beefheart. De huidige leden zijn componist/geluidskunstenaar Sjoerd Leijten en ambient producer/pianist Patrick Bossink aka. Arpatle.

**Jacco Weener** is een performer, kunstenaar en theoloog die werkt tussen Charlois en Scheveningen. De laatste 10 jaar heeft hij onafgebroken opgetreden onder verschillende namen (Gul Night Out, Het Open Hart, Moonflower Warrior, DJ La Dolce Vita) en in verschillende gelegenheden. Op Maximum Velocity zal hij een dans uitvoeren die is geïnspireerd door de meditatieve wervelen van de Sufi-derwisjen van de Mevlevi-orde.

There is a bug in your hair" and "Zaamslag, never again"; those are not just some random words, but songtitles that Niek Hilkmann is considering for his new EP. To commemorate the fact that they will be recording this very soon, he will perform these songs at Varia with his band, De Puls. Expect a colorful succession of unprecedented scoops and perhaps even some old acquaintances.

<b>Vulva</b>
|
||||
|
||||
Vulva is a twoheaded, feminine beast with a mouth so big that you usually only see it in fairy tales and fables. This doesn’t stop them from visiting Varia however! Expect a lot of noise, some theatrical escapades and an abundance of shouting, We will witness Vulva erupt!

<b>Rowan van As</b>
|
||||
|
||||
One does not easily describe the life and times of Rowan Van As. This artist-troubadour sings, draws, sculpts and records like there is no tomorrow with the help of an abundance of props and home-made instruments (such as his famous organ mussel). At Varia he will perform some brand new songs for us and warm your heart!

<b>G. de Singer Songwriter</b>
|
||||
|
||||
Gerard Olthaar is, as his name suggests, a true Singer-Songwriter; a solo musician who knows how to move and amaze an audience with just his guitar and voice. His songs are raw like the paving stones of Rotterdam and his guitar sound is unquestionably unique.

No evening of entertainment is complete without a proper DJ and that is why we are very to have DJ Wanneer on the line-up. This individual combines the best of Scheveningen, Rotterdam and Zoeterwoude by playing an eclectic mix of little crooners, dissonant girl bands and overall hysterical music.

|
||||
|
||||
Een nieuwe muzikale avond in Varia! Wees erbij op 16 november voor een evenement vol singers, songwriters, herrie en karton!
|
||||
|
||||
<b>Niek Hilkmann en de Puls</b>
|
||||
|
||||
“Je lege melkfles”, “Hey, wat raar… Er zit een beestje in je haar” en “Nooit meer terug naar Zaamslag”; dat zijn niet zomaar wat bij elkaar geraapte woorden, maar enkele titels die Niek Hilkmann in gedachten heeft voor een gloednieuwe EP. Ter gelegenheid van de opnames hiervan speelt hij bij Varia met zijn band, De Puls, deze en vele andere Nederlandstalige liederen. Verwacht een bonte aaneenschakeling van ongehoorde primeurs en misschien zelfs wat oude bekenden.

||||
<b>Vulva</b>
|
||||
|
||||
Vulva is een tweehoofdig, feminiem beest met een grote bek zoals je die eigenlijk alleen in sprookjes en fabels ziet. Maar nu dus ook bij Varia! Verwacht een flinke bak herrie, theaterale escapades en een hoop geschreeuw, waarvan het de vraag is of het eigenlijk wel op het podium thuis hoort. Vulva zal zeker uitbarsten!

<b>Rowan van As</b>
|
||||
|
||||
Men geeft niet zomaar een beschrijving van het leven en werk van Rowan Van As. Deze kunstenaar-troubadour zingt, tekent en beeldhouwt alsof er geen morgen is en gebruikt daarbij een overvloed aan rekwisieten en zelfgemaakte instrumenten (zoals zijn beroemde mosselorgel). Bij Varia zal hij een aantal gloednieuwe nummers voor ons uitvoeren.

<b>G. de Singer Songwriter</b>
|
||||
|
||||
Gerard Olthaar is, zoals zijn naam al doet vermoeden, niet zomaar een muzikant, maar een heuse Singer-Songwriter; een solist die slechts met gitaar en stem de mensen weet te verbazen, ontroeren en verwonderen. Zijn liederen zijn rauw als de Rotterdamse straatstenen en zijn gitaarsound is ongeknutseld uniek!

We are all very glad to invite you to the launch of the second issue of **Networks of One's Own: three takes on taking care** and **Fed Up!**, the 13th issue of the *Pervasive Labour Union zine*. We will celebrate this with an evening of stories and discussions around networks and maintenance practices.
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>
|
||||
**Date**: Saturday 28th of September <br>
|
||||
**Time**: 19:30h - 21:30h
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Networks Of One’s Own** is a para-nodal[^1] periodic publication that is itself collectively written in a network. Each of the episodes is thought of as the ‘release’ of a specific software stack, contextualised in its specific practice. The series aims to document a set of tools, experiences, ways of working that are diverse in terms of their temporality, granularity and persistence. **Three takes on taking care** is the second volume of this series.
|
||||
|
||||
In our activity as artists, designers and researchers working with and around free/libre open source technology based projects, we often encounter situations where collective authorship gives rise to complicated interrelationships of ownership. Specifically, these involve the practical aspects of care, maintenance, documentation and overall commitment.
|
||||
|
||||
Three of these projects, *homebrewserver.club*, *Bibliotecha* and *Relearn*, have been influential for the individual practices of those involved, but also for a wider international network of actors, including exhibition spaces, festivals, collective and both formal and informal learning communities. The maintenance of those projects, however, which is long-term and requires ongoing engagement, often lags behind since it is taken up by individuals on the basis of their ability and time.
|
||||
|
||||
This publication is the result of an act of active documentation of the networked projects developed in and around Varia. Active documentation means that we not only documented, but also revisited these projects, spending time on their maintenance and consolidation:
|
||||
|
||||
* *homebrewserver.club*, a periodic gathering where people learn together and reflect on self-hosting digital content. (<http://homebrewserver.club>)
|
||||
* *Bibliotecha*, a project centered on the development of local offline digital libraries for the distribution of electronic publications within small communities. (<http://bibliotecha.info>)
|
||||
* *Relearn*, a self-organised 'summer school' reflecting upon collective learning, that has as many teachers as it has participants. (<http://relearn.be/>)
|
||||
|
||||
With this publication we hope to improve their resilience, portability, long-term sustainability and accessibility.
|
||||
|
||||
The first issue in the series was initiated by [Constant](http://constantvzw.org) and documents the project 'Etherbox', a [collaborative writing and documentation environment](https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html). The publication included a genealogy of the events, ideas and practices in the Constant network that influenced or reversely were influenced by what eventually became known as Etherbox. This way of documenting stresses how a project like Etherbox is the work of a heterogenous network of practices that each in their way contribute to its formation.

|

**Fed Up!** is the 13th edition of the **The Pervasive Labour Union** and explores topics and issues relating to federated social networks such as Mastodon, Pleroma and Funkwhale. It was made possible by the contributions of Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Pervasive Labour Union** zine is a project initiated by Lídia Pereira in 2015. It not only offers a low-barrier entry level for contributors wishing to express their views on corporate social networking labour, but also a low-barrier entry level for those wishing to become acquainted with these debates. It tries to gather existing knowledge and conversations, while opening up that debate and creating new discourses of user organisation and expression.
|
||||
|
||||
It brings together personal rants, academic texts, poetry, photo montages, collages, drawing, etc. Each issue represents a smaller particle pertaining to labour on social networking platforms and attempts to establish an interconnecting discourse around topics such as labour on corporate social networks, algorithmic governance, resistance and alternatives.

||||
We will have the following activities throughout the day:
|
||||
|
||||
## Linux Presentation Day (All day)
|
||||
Bored Windows or Apple? Unable to update your operating system? Time to try linux, an operating system that comes in all shapes and flavors! Linux runs on the latest macbooks, your Playstation, possibly on your brand new fridge, but also on very old computers. Don't throw your old computer away yet. Bring your old and new laptops and breathe new life into them. Have a try or get help installing Linux on it. The Leeszaal West group that have been organising Linux Presentation Day in the previous years will be around to help you with your installation or with any other questions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Adblockers for beginners (all day)
|
||||
Are you tired of looking at online ads? Are you tired of on-line ads looking at you? Bring your computer or smartphone and we'll show you how to enjoy the tranquility and privacy of an ad-free internet.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction to soldering (14:00 - 16:00), 12+
|
||||
Learn how to make a pocket boombox using only a few electronic components, a soldering iron and a steady hand. Bring your favourite tune(s) as mp3 files and a (disposable) memory card (micro)SD!. There is space for a maximum of 6 participants. Participation fee: €5. Please sign up by writing us an email.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Graphic tool-test-party (15:00 - 16:00)
|
||||
Tired of having to crack yet another version of Photoshop? Tired of Microsoft Publisher? What about Microsoft Paint :-(? Come and play around with a series of graphic tools such as Gimp and ImageMagick (image editors), Laidout, or self-built ones: make a zine with [Publish or Perish!](http://www.publishorperish.pro/about), a Desktop Publishing tool that is also a game. We will group together in an intense one-hour tool-test-party to make visual reviews of these tools and print them on one of Varia's printers.
|
||||
|
||||
We speak Dutch/English/Italian/French/Norwegian/Spanish and Portuguese!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
Ben je het zat om naar online advertenties te kijken? Ben je het zat dat online advertenties naar jou terug kijken? Neem je computer of smartphone mee en dan laten wij zien hoe je van de rust en privacy van een advertentievrij internet kunt genieten.

|
||||
|
||||
## Graphic tool-test-party (15:00 - 16:00)

Kom langs en probeer een set verschillende tools, zoals Gimp en ImageMagick (beeldbewerking), Laidout (een specifieke vector editor) of zelfgemaakte: maak een zine met Publish or Perish!, een Desktop Publishing tool en spel in één. Het idee is om gedurende de één uur intensieve tool-test-party beeldende recensies van deze tools te maken. We kunnen ze dan ook op een van de varia printers afdrukken.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
De open dag begint om 12:00 en duurt tot 18:00. Ons adres is Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam Charlois.

### Publication launch and performance evening
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of last year, **De Player** approached **Varia** to develop a web-publication for their Pushing Scores project archive. The project investigated the state of the arts of composing scores in a contemporary environment and spanned over 2-3 years.
|
||||
|
||||
Varia contributed by developing an archival web publication where the vernacular vocabulary of De Player creates the possibilities of text-based navigation across the collection of items. The material is embodied by a dynamic, accessible and therefore active archive, which creates new relations, new perspectives and, at its best, new concepts for the production and/or processes of making scores. Navigating within the data structure of the archive becomes an act of score notation.
|
||||
|
||||
To test this De Player and Varia asked several artists to work with the tool and use the result as a starting point for a performance.
|
||||
|
||||
**Julie Boschat Thorez** and **Cristina Cochior** will give a brief introduction to the tool, followed by **Niek Hilkmann**, **Christine Cornwell** and **Robert Kroos**'s score interpretations.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The performances will be ongoing throughout the night, you are welcome to join in at any moment.
|
||||
|
||||
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Niek Hilkmann** is a Rotterdam based artist, musician and researcher with a background in art history, media design and musicology. He has a particular interest in the abstruse technological condition we are living in and the insufficient intellectual methodologies that seek to justify, or explain it. During the presentation of Pushing Scores he will utilize the spatial dimensions of Varia and recontextualize the scores created by the archive. In an ongoing performance unexpected correlations will be produced between the items in the archive and the physical surroundings in which they are represented.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Christine Cornwell** is a composer and violinist working between NL/UK with projects involving improvisation and collaborative work often combined with visual artists, dancers, opera companies or experimental TV. She is currently completing a Composition MA at Codarts with Hans Koolmees/René Uijlenhoet and her freelance work includes presenting new works for violin, collaborative residencies, workshop leading and producing/curating events in this field. From her first experiments, such as 2011’s interdisciplinary collaboration with visual artist Eddie Peake/LuckyPDF TV at London’s Barbican to 2019's experimental event 'Invitation (x)', collective creation practises are a vital meeting point which can be traced through all of her creative work between performance, production and management.
|
||||
|
||||
**Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)** is a Rotterdam based musician, sound-artist and DJ working on all kinds of sound- and music related projects. For this special event he will be using the guzheng and electronics as instruments of choice.

### Pushing Scores - Presentatie publicatie en performanceavond
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Eind vorige jaar benaderde **De Player** **Varia** met de vraag een web publicatie te ontwikkelen over het archief van Pushing Scores. Pushing Scores was een driejarig onderzoekstraject van de Player over nieuwste inzichten op het gebied van hedendaagse scores.
|
||||
|
||||
Varia heeft hier aan bijgedragen door een archiefpublicatie te ontwikkelen waarin de spreektaal uit het archief de basis vormt waarop men door de verzameling kan navigeren. Het materiaal heeft uiteindelijk de vorm gekregen van een dynamisch, toegankelijk en daardoor levend archief. Hiermee wordt het mogelijk nieuwe verbanden, perspectieven en wie weet zelfs wel concepten voor nieuwe scores te zien. Op deze manier wordt de handeling van het navigeren door de datastructuur van het archief het componeren van een nieuwe score.
|
||||
|
||||
Om deze aanname op de proef te stellen hebben de Player en Varia enkele kunstenaars uitgenodig om aan de deze publicatie uit te proberen en aan de hand daarvan een performance te ontwikkelen.
|
||||
|
||||
Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om langs te komen op vrijdag 31 Mei in Varia. Waar **Julie Boschat Thorez** en **Cristina Cochior** de archiefpublicatie zullen introduceren. Daarna volgen er performances van **Niek Hilkmann**, **Robert Kroos** en **Christine Cornwell**.
|
||||
|
||||
De uitvoeringen zullen de hele nacht doorgaan, je bent van harte welkom om op elk moment deel te nemen.

**Niek Hilkmann** is een Rotterdamse kunstenaar, onderzoeker en muzikant met een interesse in de verwarrende technologische toestand waarin we allemaal momenteel verkeren, en de ontoereikende intellectuele methodologieën die deze proberen uit te leggen of te rechtvaardigen. Tijdens de presentatie van Pushing Scores zal hij de ruimtelijke dimensies van Varia verkennen en de scores die voortkomen uit het nieuwe archief hercontextualiseren. Gedurende een doorlopende performance zullen onverwachte verbanden ontstaan tussen het archiefmateriaal en de fysieke omgeving waarin deze worden gerepresenteerd.
|
||||
|
||||
**Christine Cornwell** is een componist en violiste die tussen NL/UK werkt met projecten met improvisatie- en samenwerkingsverbanden, vaak in combinatie met beeldend kunstenaars, dansers, operagezelschappen of experimentele TV. Momenteel voltooit ze samen met Hans Koolmees/René Uijlenhoet een MA Compositie bij Codarts en haar freelance werk omvat onder meer het presenteren van nieuw werk voor viool, residenties, het leiden van workshops en het produceren/cureren van evenementen op dit gebied. Vanaf haar eerste experimenten, zoals de interdisciplinaire samenwerking in 2011 met beeldend kunstenaar Eddie Peake/LuckyPDF TV op de Londense Barbicanen tot het experimentele evenement 'Invitation (x)' in 2019, zijn collectieve creatiepraktijken een belangrijk ontmoetingspunt dat terug te vinden is in al haar creatieve werk tussen performance, productie en management.
|
||||
|
||||
**Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)** is een Rotterdamse muzikant, geluidskunstenaar en DJ die werkt aan allerlei soorten geluids- en muziekgerelateerde projecten. Voor deze speciale gebeurtenis zal hij de guzheng en elektronica als instrumenten naar keuze gebruiken.

During this evening we focus on the archiving of the Pushing Scores project by **[DE PLAYER](https://www.deplayer.nl/)**; A project on the contemporary meaning of the 'graphic score', which has been running for the last 2-3 years. What are the possibilities of graphic scores, in a day and age in which graphic notation is still usually seen as a ‘drawing’, serving as some kind of sheet music?
|
||||
|
||||
To communicate the project to a larger audience DE PLAYER asked **Varia** to develop a context and technical environment as a web-based archival publication for the Pushing Scores project. The idea is that this material will be embodied by a dynamic, accessible and therefore active archive, which creates new relations, new perspectives and, at its best, new concepts for the production and/or processes of making scores. Julie Boschat Thorez, Cristina Cochior and Niek Hilkmann will explain their ideas and approach to this matter.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Valentina Vuksic](http://trippingthroughruntime.net/)** will bring a live performance in which she approaches computers with transducers that transform electromagnetic radiation into sound within choreographically setups. The ‘runtime’ of executed software is staged for an audience to provide an acoustic experience: that of logic encountering the physical world.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Ana Guedes](http://www.ana-guedes.com/)** is introducing her project Untitled Records; a performative sound installation weaving historical and emotional narratives through the “instrumentalisation” of a collection of records.
|
||||
|
||||
**Niek Hilkmann** (part of Varia) will present his [UNI](https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/) (Universal Notation Ideal), a Pay2Print investigation in the simultaneous production and distribution of standardised graphical scores through the mediation of an automaton. It is developed by Niek Hilkmann and Joseph Knierzinger, based on a new notation system that is created to help conceptual composers in developing and exchanging conceptual music within one uniform language. The actual printing of the thermal paper is a stochastic performance in itself. By emphasizing this aspect of the machine as a musical entrepreneur, earning its own income, we explore the conditions of mechanised labour within the cultural industry and its corresponding ethics.

##about Pushing Scores
|
||||
What are the possibilities of graphic scores, in a day and age in which graphic notation is still usually seen as a ‘drawing’, serving as some kind of sheet music?
|
||||
|
||||
In an attempt to redefine this concept, DE PLAYER compiles a programme in which artists, musicians, theoreticians and practitioners are invited to participate. The collective goal is to develop and present new audio-visual and media-technical forms of graphic notation through artistic research and development.
|
||||
|
||||
Based on our compilation of the most contemporary and innovative graphic notation practices in the fields of music, sound art, performance art, e-culture, new-media art, graphic design and media design, we introduce artists and designers from various creative disciplines to a national and international audience, with the goal of collectively developing new forms of graphic notation.

Deze avond gaat over het archiveren van het project 'Pushing Scores'. Dit initiatief over de hedendaagse betekenis van de 'grafische score' is de afgelopen 2-3 jaar door **[De Player](https://www.deplayer.nl/)** uitgevoerd. Zij heeft aan **Varia** gevraagd om een contextuele en technische 'omgeving' op te zetten die dienst kan doen als een online archiefuitgave van het project. Julie Boschat Thorez, Cristina Cochior en Niek Hilkmann zal deze aanpak toelichten, tijdens een avond met verschillende presentaties.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Valentina Vuksic](http://trippingthroughruntime.net/)** zal een liveset spelen. Zij benadert computers met 'transducers' die elektromagnetische straling in geluid transformeren via choreografisch opstellingen. De 'runtime' van uitgevoerde software wordt geënsceneerd voor een publiek om een akoestische ervaring te bieden.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Ana Guedes](http://www.ana-guedes.com/)** introduceert haar project 'Untitled Records'; een performatieve geluidsinstallatie die historische en emotionele vertellingen verweeft door middel van de 'instrumentalisatie' van een verzameling platen.
|
||||
|
||||
**Niek Hilkmann** (onderdeel van Varia) presenteert zijn [UNI](https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/) (Universele Notatie Ideaal); een Pay2Print verkenning van de simultane productie en distributie van gestandaardiseerde grafische notatie gemedieerd door automatiek. Deze is ontwikkelt in samenwerking met Joseph Knierzinger en gebaseerd op een nieuw notatiesysteem dat conceptuele componisten kan helpen in de ontwikkeling en uitwisseling van conceptuele muziek in een uniforme taal. Het daadwerkelijke afdrukken van de composities op papier kan gelezen worden als een stochastische compositie in zichzelf. Door dit aspect te benadrukken, waardoor de machine een muzikale entrepeneur wordt die zijn eigen inkomen verdient, verkennen we de voorwaarden van mechanische arbeid in de creatieve industrie en de daarbij horende ethische kwesties.
|
||||
|
||||
##Over Pushing Scores
|
||||
|
||||
Wat zijn de mogelijkheden van grafische partituren, in een tijd waarin grafische notatie meestal als een 'tekening' wordt gezien en als een soort bladmuziek dienst doet?
|
||||
|
||||
In een poging om dit concept te herdefiniëren, stelde DE PLAYER een programma samen waarvoor artiesten, muzikanten en theoretici werden uitgenodigd. Het collectieve doel is om nieuwe audiovisuele en media-technische vormen van grafische notatie te ontwikkelen en te presenteren door middel van artistiek onderzoek.
|
||||
|
||||
De meest eigentijdse en innovatieve grafische notatiepraktijken op het gebied van muziek, geluidskunst, performancekunst, e-cultuur, nieuwe mediakunst, grafisch ontwerp en mediao-ntwerp introduceerde De Player zo aan een nationaal en internationaal publiek.

**Relaxing on the radio waves - oyo & mmths
|

|
||||
|
||||
A radio relaxation mixtape performance. A mix of meditative samples and nature with noise and social/political anxieties into an uncanny hypno-magnetic-tape audiopiece. It is performed live with multiple cassette tape players and spacial cassette tape loops spread across the space and modulated by a modular synthesizer.
|
||||
|
||||
**Radio-active female monstrosity - Angeliki D.
|
||||
**
|
||||
|
||||
Angeliki D. uses her voice, as well as an online sound archive she built to play, layer and gradually distort into chaos. The female voice becoming the male voice, becoming the monster, the otherworldly voice.
|

|
||||
**[ASMR] Radio Boyfriend - Pradapony69
|

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to have your very own ASMR boyfriend, one that talks really soft and only about radio? During this performance by Pradapony69 will send chills down your spine while explaining the difference between long waves and microwaves.
|
||||
|
||||
**Stations of Exception - Jad Saliba
|
||||
**
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
Een radio-relaxation mixtape-performance. Een mix van meditatieve monsters en de natuur, met lawaai en socio-politieke angsten in een griezelig hypno-magnetisch magnetic-tape stuk. Dit alles wordt live uitgevoerd met meerdere cassettespelers en tapeloops, verspreid door de ruimte en gemoduleerd door een modulaire synthesizer.
|
||||
|
||||
**Radio-active female monstrosity - Angeliki D.
|
||||
**
|
||||
|
||||
Tijdens haar optreden 'Radio-active female monstrosity' gebruikt ze haar stem, evenals een online geluidsarchief dat ze heeft gebouwd om mee te spelen, te stapelen en te vervormen tot chaos. De vrouwelijke stem wordt de mannelijke stem, wordt het monster, de buitenaardse stem.
|
||||
|
||||
**[ASMR] Radio Boyfriend - Pradapony69
|
||||
**
|
||||
|
||||
Heb je je ooit afgevraagd hoe het zou zijn om je eigen ASMR-vriendje te hebben, eentje die heel zacht praat en alleen maar over radio? Tijdens deze uitvoering van Pradapony69 zullen de rillingen over je ruggegraat lopen, terwijl hij je het verschil tussen lange golven en magnetrons uitlegt.
|
||||
|
||||
**Stations of Exception - Jad Saliba
|
||||
**
|
||||
|
||||
Jad onderzoekt nieuwe toepassingen van analoge radiotechnologieën binnen elektronische live-muziek. Zo ontstaan kneedbare sonische artefacten uit een topografie van lokale radiostations.
|
||||
|
||||
**World Wide Web - Dennis de Bel (PD0WNED)

# Rotterdam Electronics Depot
|
||||
Since many of the independent electronics stores in Rotterdam have permanently closed their doors, it has become nearly impossible to hop on a bike and quickly get some parts. In response to this *Varia* started the Rotterdam Electronics Depot, a community resource where members can purchase common parts parts at cost.

# Het Rotterdams Electronica Depot
|
||||
Door de sluiting van onafhankelijke electronica zaakjes in Rotterdam is het is het al een tijd vrijwel niet meer mogelijk om een fysieke electronica winkel te bezoeken in Rotterdam. Op deze manier is het onmogelijk om even op de fiets te springen om wat ontbrekende onderdelen te hallen. Daarom heeft een collectief electronica depot opgericht waar deelnemers van tegen kostprijs onderdelen kunnen komen ophalen.
|
||||

||||
# Lid worden:

Summary: This year's edition of Relearn takes the form of multiple sessions, spread over the (bezier) curve between (possibly Amsterdam)-Rotterdam-Brussels-Paris. This Relearn session in Rotterdam is the first control point on the curve.
|
||||
|
||||
For the Rotterdam control point on this year's curved edition of Relearn, we propose to together attend to a **subject zone** (•) where different digital network practices intersect. This subject zone can morph into multiple directions throughout the session. Our specific interest is in how **publishing formats** (••) operate with/on/through this zone.
|
||||
|
||||
• There are many questions in the air when we start to speak about digital infrastructures, hosters, servers, services, networks and their technical realities. Instead of picking one and diving deeper, we thought it would be more interesting to present a range and explore different vocabularies, protocols, technologies, infrastructures. We invite you to join Relearn to stretch this zone, starting from or moving towards:
|
||||
|
||||
* digital interdependencies
|
||||
* affective infrastructures
|
||||
* homebrew networks
|
||||
* networked entanglements
|
||||
* feminist servers
|
||||
* federated networks
|
||||
* and-and-networks
|
||||
* digital autonomy
|
||||
* transitional infrastructures
|
||||
* digital selves-organisations
|
||||
* so-and-sovereignty networks
|
||||
* out-of-the-cloud thinking
|
||||
* …
|
||||
|
||||
•• We’re curious about learning through publishing formats. The different publishing formats serve as an invitation to embed ourselves within the subject zone of digital networks. How can these formats be our morphable lenses, that we use to relearn digital networks? Starting from or moving towards:
|
||||
|
||||
* multiple readers
|
||||
* cross-readings created through algorithms
|
||||
* logbooks
|
||||
* syllabi
|
||||
* documentation
|
||||
* annotations
|
||||
* cookbooks
|
||||
* tutorials
|
||||
* README
|
||||
* bug reports
|
||||
* link dumps
|
||||
* scores
|
||||
* …
|
||||
|
||||
Many sub-trajectories can emerge from here during the days, without the need of taking the same path or agreeing about vocabularies or geometries altogether.
|
||||
|
||||
The session will take place in Rotterdam and starts on Friday evening (the 7th) in a public setting, followed by two full days of relearning together.

If you would like to join this Relearn session, please send an email to [info@varia.zone](mailto:info@varia.zone) with a short motivation of your interest. We will reply to subscriptions on a regular basis, up to the **26th of May**.
|
||||
|
||||
Our capacities allow us to have a group of 30 relearners. Our preference goes out to people that can join the whole session (Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday). We will take care of a *daily vegetarian lunch* (please let us know about allergies or other dietary preferences). Following a tradition from previous years, we will arrange a *hosting network* in the city and find a place to stay for everyone. Please mention in the email if you need to be hosted or could host one or more relearners in your house.
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to join us only on the Friday evening, there is no need to subscribe, just come over! :)

Summary: De Relearn editie van 2019 bestaat uit meerdere sessies verspreid over het jaar, die samen een (bezier) curve tussen (mogelijk Amsterdam)-Rotterdam-Brussel-Parijs vormen. De sessie in Rotterdam is het eerste controle punt van deze curve.
|
||||
|
||||
Voor de Rotterdamse sessie op de Relearn curve stellen we voor om samen een **onderwerpszone** te betreden (•) waar verschillende digitale netwerkpraktijken elkaar kruizen. Deze subject zone kan tijdens deze sessie meerdere gedaantes aannemen en allerlei kanten op bewegen. Onze specifieke interesse in dit onderwerp is gericht op hoe **publicatie vormen** (••) functioneren binnen/met deze zone.
|
||||
|
||||
• Wanneer het gaat over digitale infrastructuur, hosting, servers, online diensten, netwerken en hun technische realiteiten hangen er heel veel vragen in de lucht. Voor deze sessie wilden we niet een enkel vraagstuk uitlichten, maar juist een reeks aan vocabulair, protocollen, technologieën en infrastructuren naast elkaar zetten. We nodigen je uit om deel te nemen aan Relearn en deze *zone* verder op te rekken, te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:
|
||||
|
||||
* digitale inter-afhankelijkheden
|
||||
* affectieve infrastructuur
|
||||
* homebrew netwerken
|
||||
* genetwerkte knopen
|
||||
* feministische servers
|
||||
* gefedereerde netwerken
|
||||
* en-en-netwerken
|
||||
* digitale autonomie
|
||||
* transitionele infrastructuren
|
||||
* digitale zelf-organisaties
|
||||
* so-en-soevereiniteits netwerken
|
||||
* buiten-de-cloud denken
|
||||
* …
|
||||
|
||||
•• We zijn nieuwsgierig om te leren van/via publiceer processen. De volgende vormen van publiceren nodigen uit om vanuit een geïntegreerde positie te werken met/aan de onderwerpszone van digitale netwerken. Kunnen we deze bestandstypes als een morfische lens inzetten, om te leren over digitale netwerken? Of kunnen we datgene dat we al kennen over digitale netwerken opnieuw proberen te leren, zoals de naam *relearn* suggereert? Te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:
|

Meerdere sub-trajecten kunnen tijdens dit weekend ontwikkeld worden, zonder dat er een noodzaak bestaat om allemaal hetzelfde pad te nemen of het eens te zijn over vocabulair of geometrie.
|
||||
|
||||
De sessie zal plaats vinden in Rotterdam en begint op vrijdag avond (7e) in een publieke setting, gevolgd door twee volle dagen samen *relearnen*.

Als je mee wilt doen aan Relearn, stuur ons dan een mail op [info@varia.zone](mailto:info@varia.zone) met een korte motivatie om je interesse toe te lichten. We zullen met enige regelmaat op inschrijvingen antwoorden, tot **26 mei**.
|
||||
|
||||
Onze capaciteiten zijn beperkt, waardoor we maximaal 30 relearners kunnen verwelkomen. Onze voorkeur gaat uit naar deelnemers die de hele sessie mee komen doen (vrijdag avond, zaterdag en zondag). We zullen zorgen voor een dagelijkse *vegetarische lunch* (laat het ons weten als je allergisch bent of speciale dieet voorkeuren hebt). Ook zullen we de traditie van vorige jaren Relearn voortzetten en hard ons best doen om een *hosting netwerk* te organiseren in de stad, om zo iedereen onder te brengen. Laat alsjeblieft weten in je email of je een plek nodig hebt om te slapen in Rotterdam, of hoeveel mensen je thuis zou kunnen hosten tijdens dit weekend.
|
||||
|
||||
Als je alleen op vrijdag avond mee wilt doen dan kan dat natuurlijk ook, je hoeft je dan niet in te schrijven, kom gewoon langs! :)

Relearn is a collective learning experiment with as many teachers as it has participants. It is motivated by the possibility to displace parameters of/for research, studying and learning.
|
||||
|
||||
During the week of Relearn, we work with a set of case-studies, observations, questions or stacks of study material that we call "tracks". Relearn outlines the idea of resetting thinking modes, for a diverse set of approaches that we can reconsider, that come out of the development of our cultures towards and through digital entities.
|
||||
|
||||
While Relearn is an experiment in collective learning, it grows from an interest in Free / Libre Open Source Software culture and practices as a way to address and acknowledge the production processes and frameworks involving technology and cultur

Relearn is een week-lang collectief leer experiment met evenveel leraren als deelnemers. De collectieve studieweek zet parameters van/voor leren centraal, en zoekt manieren om deze te verplaatsen.
|
||||
|
||||
Tijdens Relearn werken we met een reeks case studies, waarnemingen, vragen, of stapels studiemateriaal die als "tracks" de structuur van de week vormen. Relearn omarmt het resetten van denkmodi, om een uiteenlopende reeks aanpakken te heroverwegen, die voortkomen uit de ontwikkeling van onze culturen tot en via digitale entiteiten.
|
||||
|
||||
Naast een experiment in collectief leren, is Relearn ontstaan vanuit een interesse in Vrije en Open Source Software-cultuur en -praktijken als een manier om de productieprocessen en -kaders van technologie en cultuur te ondervragen.

Het "Centrum Voor Alledaagse Technologie daagt jou uit om gezamelijk mee te doen aan een nader te bepalen Massive Online Open Course (MOOC).
|
||||
Deze MOOCS, die worden aangeboden door online platforms zoals Coursera creeeren een situatie waarin iedereen die zich niet universitair onderwijs kan veroorloven toch wordt aangespoord om thuis verder door te leren. Deze goedkope manier van zelfoptimalisering biedt behalve de verlokking van nieuwe kennis ook de hoop op (her)nieuwde carrieremogelijkheden. Echter, slechts weinigen weten dezen succesvol af te ronden. Door de vorm van het onderwijs kunnen weinigen zich de tijd en beheersing naast hun dagelijkse drukke bestaan veroorloven.
|
||||
|
||||
Om de problemen die bij deze vorm van leren te behandelen heeft CAT besloten een laagdrempelige avondschool op te zetten onder de naam ‘De Samenscholing’. Deelnemers kunnen daarmee het isolement van deze cursussen doorbreken door gezamenlijk een MOOC te volgen. Daarbij maken we met elkaar een leeromgeving die kritisch en non-individualistisch is. Waarbij we nieuwe dingen leren om het leren zelf centraal staat en niet vanwege de eventuele praktische economische motieven. Deelnemers hoeven niet langer alleen passief en geisoleerd thuis te zitten, maar kunnen eindelijk gezamenlijk discussieren over de inhoud en de vorm van de cursus, maar ook over de cursus.

De atmosfeer is voortdurend gebuld met allerlei electromagnetische signalen afkomstig van mobiele telefoons, commerciele radiostations, Wi-Fi modems, luchtvaartbeacons, satellietverbindingen en nog veeeeeel meer.
|
||||
|
||||
Met de komst van Software-Defined Radio (SDR - software gestuurde radio) is het veel goedkoper en makkelijker om te leren luisteren naar dit soort signalen en ze te gebruiken voor allerhande projecten.
|
||||
|
||||
Gedurende deze workshop nemen deelnemers kennis van SDR, de hardware, de software en hoe simpele maar effectieve antennes te ontwerpen voor de ontvangst van deze signalen.
|
||||
|
||||
De cursus wordt aangeboden door Dennis de Bel (PD0WND) en Roel Roscam Abbing.
|
||||
|
||||
* De cursus wordt gedurende 4 weken wekelijks op dinsdagavond gegeven. Afhankelijk van de interesse, beginnen we begin december.
|
||||
|

* Kosten 80 euro pp. (SDR hardware inbegrepen bij cursus).

summary: In january of 2018 a discussion on [Nettime](https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-1801/msg00045.html) took place on the question what next steps for social media critique could be. As criticism of large social media platforms becomes increasingly commonplace in popular media and even from within Silicon Valley itself, the discussion centered around the question of what the role of critical communities like nettime could be. Since the discussion missed some context on recent developments from the non-GAFA/Free Software developments in this field media I've replied with some comments.

So aside from the discussion of who listens (or didn't listen) to whose opinion it can be interesting to have a closer look at action and momentum.

Three projects caught my attention and I think could be an interesting case for this 'next steps' discussion:

||||
|
||||
Mastodon (2016) en Conversations (2014) and Peertube (2015)[ref]These are the dates of the project's source code first appearing in public, they are still actively updated and used.[/ref]
|
||||
|
||||
All three are projects that during the past twelve months have somehow reinvigorated (the work on, attention for) their underlying protocols. Protocols that have been proclaimed dead or unsuccessful for many years. And probably will be for more to come.
|
||||
|
||||
The first one, Mastodon [ref][https://joinmastodon.org/](https://joinmastodon.org/)[/ref], you may have read about or even tried out. It is essentially a twitter clone / alternative. Technically it is based on Ostatus, which is a protocol to distribute status updates across networks. Ostatus is the protocol that powered early 'alternative 2.0 style' social networks such as Friendica and Lorea. The latter was a product of and important site of organization for the Spanish Indignados and 15M movements. Mastodon also supports ActivityPub which is the likely successor of Ostatus as a protocol for
|
||||
further ongoing work on so-called federated publishing. The interesting thing is that Mastodon managed to attract a good chunk of the recent Twitter refugees. These where mostly voices which aren't white, loud or extreme right wing and for those reasons felt themselves increasingly out of place on twitter. Mastodon communities managed to involve so many of these people by focusing on developing tools for community moderation, content warnings and the ability to block other instances in the network. As a result (the english language) Mastodon became a site that is predominantly populated by the queer, PoC, left and artistic, or anyone that would otherwise be at risk of being on the receiving end of the Gamergate-style interactions on twitter. The decentralized nature of
|
||||
Mastodon has created a culture of 'thematic mastodon servers (see https://instances.social/list) that have become a large part of what makes the network interesting and relevant to its several hundredthousand users.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Conversations [ref][https://conversations.im](https://conversations.im/)[/ref] is a messaging application that is based on the very old XMPP protocol. This is a chat protocol
|
||||
which has at one point also been the underlying technology of both Google and Facebook chat before they closed it down and made it proprietary. From the onset Conversations focused on a combination of user friendliness, security and ultimately visual design to be on par with mobile messengers such as whatsapp and telegram. The work of Conversations has reinvigorated the XMPP protocol. Partly because it focused on implementing the double-ratchett encryption algorithm almost immediately after it was open-sourced. This is the modern userfriendly end-to-end encryption algorithm developed by Moxie Marlinspike for Signal and licensed to companies like Whatsapp. Another effect of the work of Conversations is that the decades old protocol has been updated in the span of a few years to work very well for mobile usage. For me one of the interesting aspects of the development of Conversations is the role that modern thinking on UIs, design and user friendliness played in its popularity. This especially becomes apparent in the very technical and awkward world of XMPP software. The developer has mentioned multiple times that he 'bases' his design on that of his GAFA 'competitors'. Apropos tactical media, this project's appropriation of corporate design, yet very clear and solid political stance (see https://gultsch.de/objection.html) leading to an increase in popularity and community involvement is an interesting development.
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, Peertube [ref][Peertube website](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube)[/ref] is an attempt at making the hosting of video content accessible to small organizations. The sheer amount of infrastructure and thus capital required to set up an alternative to the monopoly position of Youtube, forces any project trying to replace Youtube to use peer-to-peer technologies. Peertube does so by trying to implement WebTorrents. Like the older 'BitTorrent' protocol it is based on, WebTorrent tries to mitigate the sheer amount of data and bandwith involved with exchanging online media, by making sure these are streamed from many sources at once. Unlike torrents, which need separate applications, WebTorrents run in familiar web browsers. One could say the conceptual forbearer of this approach was a project called Popcorn Time (2014). An app that convinced many with its good UI and design to do 'Netflix-like' streaming on top of the torrent network. Again this is something that lead to a reinvigoration of the decaying (use-wise) torrenting protocol. (I'd also argue though, that Popcorn Time was simultaneously the nail in the coffin for torrenting because of the individualistic streaming mentality built into it. This also meant the definite end of what remained of -collectivist?- seeding/sharing culture on public trackers.)
|
||||
|
||||
The position of the Peertube as a viable alternative or successful project is the most tenuous of the three. However, one might argue that our definition of success in this context should also be readjusted - away from the Silicon Valley, venture capitalist sense of success using metrics like usage counts, market cap, patent value etc. By nature of being built upon open, compatible and federative technologies, developments happening in all three projects could, and probably will, end up supporting one another. They do so to the extent that one project could even become an integral part of the other. As an example both Mastodon and Peertube use the same underlying ActivityPub, allowing one to become the underlying video delivery function of the other. As was the case with Friendica, Lorea and Mastodon, projects might stop but then become stepping stones and inspirations for newer generations of projects. In this sense definitions of success should consider the quality of longer term technological ecosystems within larger socio-political contexts.
|
||||
|
||||
So the striking things for me to take away from these projects are:
|
||||
|
||||
All three projects have managed to reinvigorate 'decaying' protocols in large part through their focus on UX, language and interestingly design. Which seems to me a huge opportunity for the arts which has been left largely unused in the first round of social media critique. Perhaps the model of artistic production in this domain should move away from the artists being on the forefront, sensing out emerging tendencies and taking the spotlight by creating mostly harmless critical and speculative works around these tendencies. Next steps for artistic social media critique should instead take a much more humble and supportive role contributing expertise, time and exposure to people working in and with these ecosystems.
|
||||
|
||||
All three projects are based on federation. Which is the idea that various actors maki g up a network decide to cooperate in a collective fashion. Distributing responsibility and power as they do so. The future of social media has to be federated or there won't be any (for those privileged enough to retreat..). I think the case of Mastodon, where
|
||||
servers in the Ostatus federation are experimenting with blocking hostile content altogether from other servers in the federation (while still maintaining technical compatibility) are interesting experiments. For one, the debates over on-line harassment and fake news show that the grand 'electronic agoras', where one can find anyone and everyone
|
||||
clearly aren't conducive to productive interchange of ideas. Perhaps smallish, self caring communities are a good answer to the profit driven model of infinite interconnectedness.
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, I think it is no coincidence that two out of three of the projects have Germans leading development and all three are European based projects. I guess the following is anecdotal and partial evidence. Yet, I've not seen Google and Facebook run full page advertorials in leading daily newspapers except in the German ones. Ostensibly, part of
|
||||
an attempt on their side to prevent mass user exodus out of discomfort with the platform. It is in part German historical sensibility that leads to this kind of sensitivity on the issues of privacy, but it is also a sensitivity that is actively nurtured in public discourse. No Silicon Valley apologies are required for there to be scepsis. At the
|
||||
same time the European context apparently provides good enough living conditions for people to risk investing time in this kind of work. Risk which is also partly mitigated by initiatives such as German Prototype Fund and other European funding streams. However, testament to the fact that these projects have healthy communities and are part of wider ecosystems of support is that all projects finance themselves from diverse revenue streams, user contributions being the main one.
|
||||
|
||||
So I'd say next steps for a social media critique would be to be more involved in (and involve more) these communities. To use positions of power to create opportunities for people working on these projects. While the center of development of these projects is Western-Europe they have many contributors outside of Europe as well, that could benefit even more from such opportunities. At the same time, doing close readings of the technical underpinnings of these media will also improve understanding of what is (not) going on. Now obviously all this was a news flash from within a very specific filter bubble, but actually from there 2017 was a very promising year for alternative media.

||||
> I still believe in vital methods to mass delete Facebook accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
I'd say start doing so, but help your friends. Use your network effect
|
||||
to transition together to different kind of media. This is slow and
|
||||
laborious so mutual support is important. The time is always right, but
|
||||
now more than ever.

"*The Techno-Galactic Guide to Software Observation* is the obsessive fantasy of optimization turned on its head and stuck to the ceiling of a self-reflecting elevator. It is the ultimate book, with almost 300 pages of dos and don’ts, of forgotten histories and un-inevitable futures, of mindful agile actions and improvisational service architectures, of any and all things that you can and cannot imagine needing in a techno-galaxy."
|
||||
|
||||
*The Techno-Galactic Guide to Software Observation* gathers methods from the *Techno-Galactic Software Observatory*, a worksession that took place in June 2017 at the Constant headquarters in Brussels. It was collectively edited by Carlin Wing, Martino Morandi, Peggy Pierrot, Anita Burato, Christoph Haag, Michael Murtaugh, Femke Snelting, Seda Gürses and designed by Christoph Haag.
