With Donald Trump's eagerness to buy Greenland, a new spotlight have been put on this island. However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.
-
In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret Project Iceworm. During this edition of Century 21 Calling we will be screening the documentary Camp Century, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.

Mede dankzij de gretigheid waarmee Donald Trump Groenland wou kopen, staat dit eiland opnieuw in de schijnwerpers. Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.
-
In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime Project Iceworm .Tijdens deze editie van Century 21 Calling zullen we de documentaire Camp Century bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.

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.

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.

- Entreprecariat: Everyone Is an Entrepreneur. Nobody Is Safe. Mini Book Launch
-
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 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.

- Entreprecariat: Everyone Is an Entrepreneur. Nobody Is Safe. Mini Boekpresentatie
-
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 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.

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!
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.
DJ Cosmos404 and DJ Naam are household names in the global space DJ scene. In May they will team up to bring you music from the fourth dimension and beyond that will take your mind to another level of conscienceless.

Erik Debny is een van de verborgen parels van België. Op een tijdreis uit de jaren zestig transformeert deze man in zijn eentje, of samen met zijn band the Shovels, het universum van muziek zoals we dat kennen tot een reis naar de grenzen van het sonische geloof. Hij zal nummers van 'Spaced Out In Outer Space' uit 2016 en zijn gloednieuwe album 'Beat The System' spelen.
Wojtek Szustak is een inventieve componist uit Krakau die met en rond ruimteafval werkt. Ter voorbereiding op 'Infinite Outwardness' zal hij een synthesizer-rommelworkshop geven in Charlois, waarbij hij nieuwe elektronische instrumenten zal maken van oude spullen die hij op straat vindt. De resultaten worden tijdens het evenement gepresenteerd.

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.

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.
-
We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script word2vec_basic.py, 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!

Algologs = een 1 dag + 1 dag dialoog rondom algoritmische werkwijzen. Dit evenement is een verlenging van Algolit, een werkgroep waar taal en algoritmes elkaar ontmoeten. Algologs maakt deel uit van een reeks ontmoetingen rondom de Algolit-bijeenkomsten (die normaal gesproken in Brussel plaatsvinden), om zo externe sprekers, presentatoren en deelnemers uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. Tijdens Algologs verhogen we het % betrokkenheid bij alledaagse algoritmes.
-
Op vrijdagavond verkennen we een vermenigvuldiging van: Algoliteraire manieren om woorden te vertalen naar cijfers x infrapuncturele opluchtingen x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Om zo samen logs te maken van algoritmische standpunten, stemmen en werkwijzen.
-
De presentaties op vrijdag worden gevolgd door een Algolit-sessie op zaterdag, waar we een collectieve duik zullen introduceren in de clusteringstechnieken van word-embeddings. Door stap voor stap naar een specifieke implementatie van word-embeddings te kijken, ontstaat een bron voor recepten voor kleine (op code of niet op code gebaseerde) experimenten.
-
Oproep aan alle extra-amateurs, protoprofessionals en indirecte algologgers.

-Algolit-sessie: van woorden naar cijfers via word-embeddings
-
Deze sessie is een speciale editie en maakt deel uit van een langere tijdslijn van maandelijkse Algolit-bijeenkomsten georganiseerd door Constant in het WTC25 in Brussel. In 2018 koos Algolit er voor om haar sessies een meer open karakter te geven, zodat een spontane jump-in jump-out-deelname mogelijk is. Meer informatie en materiaal rond Algolit is te vinden op algolit.net.
-
We beginnen de dag met het stapsgewijs doorlopen van het script word2vec_basic.py en langzaam naar zowel op code gebaseerde als niet-code gebaseerde experimenten te werken, afhankelijk van waar de deelnemers een voorkeur voor hebben. Deze werksessie is een moment om zelf en samen dingen uit te proberen.
-
Opmerking voor deelnemers: het zou goed zijn om een laptop mee te nemen. Niet per se om met code of digitale hulpmiddelen te werken (we zijn grote fans van analoge experimenten!), maar vanuit de gewoonte om gezamenlijk aantekeningen te maken of te kijken naar referenties. Daarom is een laptop een fijne metgezel!

On the February we will be screening the documentaries "Alles Flex?" and "Call me Intern", both of which reflect on the devastating consequences caused by the ongoing flexibilization of both housing and work. To further clarify and present these topics, Abel Heijkamp, one of the filmmakers responsible for "Alles Flex?" and member of Bondprecaire Woonvormen, has kindly agreed to be present for a Q&A and conversation.
-
The second part of the program will be secured by Sam Kreuk, who will be presenting his solo project, City Dragon.
-
Location: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam)
-Date: Saturday 8th of February
-Time: 17:30 - 21:30
-Entry: Donation

City Dragon
-City Dragon is the solo project of Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk. Using saxophone, recorders, toys and percussion he creates improvised collages and loops. Expect diva vocalization, power ballads, street trance, a collapsing assemblage of garbage rhythms, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's and much more!
Alles Flex?
-In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers Abel Heijkamp (NL) and Julij Borštnik (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?
-
‘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.
-
Call me Intern
-Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers David Leo Hyde and Nathalie Berger set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.
-
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.

Varia nodigt je uit voor een avond vol documentaires, muziek en goede gesprekken!
-
Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.
-
Het tweede deel van het programma wordt verzorgd door Sam Kreuk, die zijn solo-project City Dragon zal presenteren.
City Dragon
-City Dragon is het soloproject van Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops. Verwacht de stem van een diva, power ballads, street trance, een verzameling aan afvalritmes, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's en nog veel meer!
Alles Flex?
-In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers Abel Heijkamp (NL) en Julij Borštnik (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?
-
‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.
-
Call me Intern
-Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers David Leo Hyde en Nathalie Berger gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.
-
Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.
-
Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.
-
Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.

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?

In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.
-
In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!
-
15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation
-
Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.
-
19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet

We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?

In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden. Gezien deze situatie leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden. Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.
-
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 vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!

Zoontoon gebruikt een loopstation en een aangepast Casio SK-1-keyboard om te experimenteren met de eenvoud van elektronische trillingen. De trance van de natuur en de ritmes van oosterse muziek zijn hier de belangrijkste inspiratiebronnen. Zoontoon's uitvoeringen zitten vol met loops en deuntjes die je zullen laten dansen als Apollo!

M. Klein is ook wel bekend van zijn werk in bands als Sweat Tongue, Lewsberg en Eklin en het label De Hef.

Daarbij kunnen wij als toeschouwer genieten van zijn organische toetsenbordspel, misschien wel op zijn Yamaha PSS-170, en wie weet wat nog meer?
-
Listentomerijn is het pseudoniem van Merijn van Ham. Wat is er nog niet over hem gezegd? Deze gerenommeerde Rotterdamse DJ toont zijn talent bij Varia achter de toetsen en misschien ook enkele drumpads. Wat voor soort drumpads? Die van de Casio MT205FF natuurlijk! Zou je iets minder verwachten?

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.
-
Considerate Cake Confection is an initiative by Lídia Pereira and Niek Hilkmann.

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.

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. DLL 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), Ludovic 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 Conversas Rotterdam 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.
-
Conversas is a project initiated in Lisbon by Constança Saraiva and Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Nowadays, it's a project of many people and cities.

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. DLL 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.
-www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/liefdebrieven/
-
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 Ludovic 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 Conversas Rotterdam 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.

- Concert: Crimson Butterfly, Evamuss and St. Fractalium
-
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).
St. Fractalium (Russia) St.Fractalium is an audio-visual duo from Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, residents of local cult place Black Ho. Inspired by bands like Autechre and Coil, and having impressive experience in various musical projects, the guys bring the light of Saint Fractalium, an enlightening nectar for those are tired of conventional music, using only computers and controllers.

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.
St. Fractalium (Rusland) St.Fractalium is een audiovisueel duo uit Nizhniy Novgorod, Rusland; bewoners van de plaatselijke cultusplaats Black Ho. Geïnspireerd door bands als Autechre en Coil, en met indrukwekkende ervaring in verschillende muzikale projecten, brengen de jongens het licht van Saint Fractalium, een verhelderende nectar voor degenen die de conventionele muziek beu zijn, alles met behulp van computers en controllers.

- Bibliotecha, building and maintaining an off-line digital library
-
Building and maintaining an off-line digital library
-
Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.
-
During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.
-
-
At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi.
-
In addition participants will get an understanding of the ins and outs of managing collections of digital books.
-
Last but not least, participants will take home a working Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute books!

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.

The command line is a textual interface for the computer, rather than being an 'old fashioned' interface it is a completely different methodological approach to computing. Instead of large visual programs aimed at being 'professional tools', command line tools follow the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. These small programmes can be 'chained' together into pipelines capable of processing any type of data or text. These pipelines are a way of quickly producing unique and custom toolsets providing a wide range of creative opportunities.
-
In this workshop we will focus on command line tools in relation to plain text. During the day we will dive into the social-cultural history of the command line interface, explore the materiality of plain text on a computer and discover a wide range of command line tools.

De command line is een tekstuele interface voor de computer, niet zozeer een die 'ouderwets' is maar een die een geheel andere methodolgie van computergebruik mogelijk maakt. In tegenstelling tot grote software paketten die als 'professioneel' worden vermarkt , volgen command line tools de filosofie om één ding te doen en dat goed te doen. Deze kleine programma's kunnen samen worden 'gebonden' tot pipelines die elk type data of tekst kunnen verwerken. Deze pipelines zijn een manier om snel unieke en specifieke gereedschappen te produceren die een breed scala aan creatieve mogelijkheden bieden.
-
In deze workshop zullen we ons concentreren op command line tools in relatie tot platte tekst (plain text). Gedurende de dag verkennen we de sociaal-culturele geschiedenis van de command line interface, onderzoeken we de materialiteit van tekst op een computer en proberen we een breed scala aan tools uit.

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.

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.

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?

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.

- De Samenscholing: Een collectieve kijk op Moocs en leren
-
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.

In january of 2018 a discussion on Nettime 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-GAFA1[1] Google/Amazon/Facebook/Apple/Free Software developments in this field media I've replied with some comments.
-
-
This is in the end what Silicon Valley tries to prevent at all cost:
-resistance and exodus. How can such a momentum be unleashed?
-
-
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)2[2] These are the dates of the project's source code first appearing in public, they are still actively updated and used.
-
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 3[3] https://joinmastodon.org/, 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 4[4] https://conversations.im 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 5[5] Peertube website 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.

Technology is everywhere, sometimes it hides its face underneath a mask of everydayness, but we can only guess what goes on in our vacuum cleaner, telephone or copy machine. When were these inventions introduced into our lives and how can we keep control over them? These questions, and many more, are answered by 'The Secret Life Of Machines'. In this cultseries from the BBC, which was produced between 1988 and 1993 engineer, cartoonist and writer Tim Hunkin and inventor Rex Garrod dissect the workings and history of a everyday appliance in each episode. During the next few weeks varia, center of everyday technology will screen the entire series during a couple of public screenings.

Technology is everywhere, sometimes it hides its face underneath a mask of everydayness, but we can only guess what goes on in our vacuum cleaner, telephone or copy machine. When were these inventions introduced into our lives and how can we keep control over them? These questions, and many more, are answered by 'The Secret Life Of Machines'. In this cultseries from the BBC, which was produced between 1988 and 1993 engineer, cartoonist and writer Tim Hunkin and inventor Rex Garrod dissect the workings and history of a everyday appliance in each episode. During the next few weeks varia, center of everyday technology will screen the entire series during a couple of public screenings.

- Druk: An Evening With Cantos Deus & Bohman Family
-
For more than two decades the English Bohman Brothers have been summoning a mix of unique and impure experimental music from a table stuffed with ordinary day to day objects. The mix contains fluxus elements, musique concrete and free improv. For this one evening the Bohman Brothers become a Bohman Family as they will adopt a bunch of local musicians and perform together as a nonet.
Cantos Deus will play a selection of no-wave, gospel, reli-pop en psychedelica worship, all in the form of an entertaining revival show. Plenty of opportunity for the audience to dance, sing and worship. The company consists of Bruno Xavier da Silva, Lukas Simonis en Jacco Weener.

- Druk: Een avond met Cantos Deus & Bohman Family
-
De Engelse Bohman Brothers toveren al meer dan twee decenia unieke en impure experimentele muziek uit een tafel vol huis, tuin en keuken-rommel. Er zijn sporen van fluxus ongein, musique concrete, en vrije improvisatie. Voor deze avond worden de Bohman Brothers een Bohman Family: ze adopteren een aantal lokale muzikanten en zullen als een nonet optreden.
Door Cantos Deus zal een selectie van no-wave, gospel, reli-pop en psychedelica worship gespeeld worden, dit alles verpakt in een amusante revival show. Voor het publiek is er mogelijkheid tot dans, zang en aanbidding. Het gezelschap bestaat uit Bruno Xavier da Silva, Lukas Simonis en Jacco Weener.

With Donald Trump's eagerness to buy Greenland, a new spotlight have been put on this island. However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.
-
In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret Project Iceworm. During this edition of Century 21 Calling we will be screening the documentary Camp Century, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.

David Young is a researcher interested in archiving media technologies, the history of computing, and the discourses of defence research in the United States during the Cold War. He is currently a M3C/AHRC-funded doctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham; his PhD topic is an examination of the technological administration of command and control systems, the forms of disciplinary practices they depend on in order to operate, and the strategic rationalities which shape their development over time. He has a background in digital media art, and has collaborated with artists, designers, and scientists in the production of experimental, research-oriented artworks funded by the Arts Trust Scotland, New Scotland's Alt-W award, and Creative Scotland.

This evening we will be screening the documentary Crystal Go To War from 1943. Created by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, it shows the processes that quartz crystals have to go through before they are ready to be inserted into radios and communication equipment.
-
Quartz crystals have been part of human life for decades and since the discovery of its piezoelectric properties in the 1880's it has been a key component in modern technology.
-
Before the screening, there will be a small introduction the usage of crystals in technology. So join us on the 24 for the first screening of the 2 seasons of Century 21 Calling!

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.

During the fifth screening of our Century 21 Calling series we will take a look at how to stay safe in an insecure world. Rules change over the decades; What was once seen as a completely safe thing to do, is now extremely deadly. How do you stay safe in the traffic? What are the dangers around the office? Where can your children play safely? These questions and many more will be addressed during this informative evening.

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.

- Entreprecariat: Everyone Is an Entrepreneur. Nobody Is Safe. Mini Book Launch
-
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 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.

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!
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.
DJ Cosmos404 and DJ Naam are household names in the global space DJ scene. In May they will team up to bring you music from the fourth dimension and beyond that will take your mind to another level of conscienceless.

This event is made possible with the kind support of Popunie Rotterdam, WORM Pirate Bay and of course... varia.

- Concert: Matheus Silva and Theo Krantz Album Release
-
Theo Krantz is an American artist currently based in New Mexico. He plays guitar and sings in the sentimental grunge band Dog Park and contributes to a variety of collaborative projects under his indie label Cry Like Donna. He recently released his most experimental solo album yet, Wednesday Two, which blends ambient synthesizer work with tape sounds and the human voice.
Matheus Silva is an electronic artist originating from Brazil. From his start as a musician in the Florida hardcore punk scene in 2011, he eventually moved onto producing electronic music as a solo artist. With an eclectic musical background, he draws inspiration from various genres of music such as ambient drone and hip hop to produce a unique sound.

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 is a Brussels-based group of artists, designers, programmers and activists that meet once a month to write textual code experiments together.
-
Cristina Cochior is a Rotterdam-based researcher, designer and enthusiast media aggregator who is currently interested in algorithmic stress relief.

-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.
-
We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script word2vec_basic.py, 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!
-

-In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers Abel Heijkamp (NL) and Julij Borštnik (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?
-
‘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.
-
Call me Intern
-Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers David Leo Hyde and Nathalie Berger set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.
-

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.

In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.
-
In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!

Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.

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.
-
Considerate Cake Confection is an initiative by Lídia Pereira and Niek Hilkmann.

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. DLL 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), Ludovic 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 Conversas Rotterdam 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.
-
Conversas 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.

- Concert: Crimson Butterfly, Evamuss and St. Fractalium
-
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).
St. Fractalium (Russia) St.Fractalium is an audio-visual duo from Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, residents of local cult place Black Ho. Inspired by bands like Autechre and Coil, and having impressive experience in various musical projects, the guys bring the light of Saint Fractalium, an enlightening nectar for those are tired of conventional music, using only computers and controllers.

Ever had a hard-drive crash? lost data? cloud back did
-not really backup? Time Machine did not have a past do go
-back to? Many questions around backup and data storage
-exist and many issues need to be resolved. From large
-database to a small personal collection, data storage
-affects everyone and many so-called solutions exist but
-are they really solutions?
-
At the first Ctrl-Alt-Save meetup at Varia, many of these
-questions might become more clear for you.
-
The focus of the first meetup will be on your data and
-how you can manage it better and more securely based on
-your interests and current issues. No solution
-guaranteed, but a possible better understanding of the
-topic.
-
Ctrl-Alt-S will be a series of events and meet-ups at
-Varia in 2020 and will be shaped by the feedback and
-comments of the attendees. The meet-ups will be in
-English.

- Bibliotecha, building and maintaining an off-line digital library
-
Building and maintaining an off-line digital library
-
Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.
-
During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.
-
-
At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi.
-
In addition participants will get an understanding of the ins and outs of managing collections of digital books.
-
Last but not least, participants will take home a working Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute books!

The command line is a textual interface for the computer, rather than being an 'old fashioned' interface it is a completely different methodological approach to computing. Instead of large visual programs aimed at being 'professional tools', command line tools follow the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. These small programmes can be 'chained' together into pipelines capable of processing any type of data or text. These pipelines are a way of quickly producing unique and custom toolsets providing a wide range of creative opportunities.
-
In this workshop we will focus on command line tools in relation to plain text. During the day we will dive into the social-cultural history of the command line interface, explore the materiality of plain text on a computer and discover a wide range of command line tools.
-
-
No prior knowledge of programming is required, but note taking skills are essential.
-
Computer / Laptop is necessary.

This workshop is initiated by Roel Roscam Abbing and Manetta Berends.

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.
-
-
This workshop is an initiative by Julie Boschat Thorez, Silvio Lorusso and Cristina Cochior.

- Homebrewserver.club, getting started with self-hosting
-
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.

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?

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.

In january of 2018 a discussion on Nettime 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-GAFA1[1] Google/Amazon/Facebook/Apple/Free Software developments in this field media I've replied with some comments.
-
-
This is in the end what Silicon Valley tries to prevent at all cost:
-resistance and exodus. How can such a momentum be unleashed?
-
-
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)2[2] These are the dates of the project's source code first appearing in public, they are still actively updated and used.
-
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 3[3] https://joinmastodon.org/, 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 4[4] https://conversations.im 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 5[5] Peertube website 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.

- Druk: An Evening With Cantos Deus & Bohman Family
-
For more than two decades the English Bohman Brothers have been summoning a mix of unique and impure experimental music from a table stuffed with ordinary day to day objects. The mix contains fluxus elements, musique concrete and free improv. For this one evening the Bohman Brothers become a Bohman Family as they will adopt a bunch of local musicians and perform together as a nonet.
Cantos Deus will play a selection of no-wave, gospel, reli-pop en psychedelica worship, all in the form of an entertaining revival show. Plenty of opportunity for the audience to dance, sing and worship. The company consists of Bruno Xavier da Silva, Lukas Simonis en Jacco Weener.

Solutions and problems in Extratonality 4
-“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.
-
This event is made possible by the kind support of the Institute of Extratonal Composition, WORM pirate bay, varia and nothing more.
-
Food, drinks and entrance are available on donation!

-Variavaria.zone/en/Centre for Everyday TechnologySat, 21 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0100Sensible World Of Soccer - Varia Cup 2020varia.zone/en/sensible-soccer.html<p>Become a goal scoring superstar hero at the <strong>Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020</strong>! 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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-A strong community (check out <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <strong>Sensible World of Soccer 2020</strong>! 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>for a legal way to buy the game).</p>

-</strong></p>
-<p>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. </p>

-<p>Let's talk about <strong>feminist servers</strong>! In this meeting, we invite you to discuss questions like:<br>
-What does it mean for a server to be feminist, and how could it look like? What and who does it serve? What does it take to create and maintain it?<br>
-We would like to map and draw collectively our ideas and consider the possibility of setting up a feminist server at Varia, as a base for our practice.<br>
-We will bring material (like RPis and computers) to start experimenting and trying things out. <br>
-Join us!<br></p>
-<p>The <strong>Feminist Hack Meetings</strong> are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation.

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) <a href="http://www.irational.org/">irational.org</a>, but turned away from the Internet in 1998, seeing its corporate takeover as early as in that year. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The above is only a small fraction of his activities in working against control systems. <strong>Florian Cramer </strong>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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong>the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse</strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

-<p>On the February we will be screening the documentaries "Alles Flex?" and "Call me Intern", both of which reflect on the devastating consequences caused by the ongoing flexibilization of both housing and work. To further clarify and present these topics, Abel Heijkamp, one of the filmmakers responsible for "Alles Flex?" and member of Bondprecaire Woonvormen, has kindly agreed to be present for a Q&A and conversation.</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) and <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?</p>
-<p>‘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.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> and <em>Nathalie Berger</em> set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>The <strong>Feminist Hack Meetings</strong> are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation. We will also include hardware and sound explorations. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The idea started after participating in <strong>/ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.</p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organizes another round of their <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> at Varia on Monday the 25th of November. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.</p>
-<p>In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret <strong>Project Iceworm</strong>. During this edition of <strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> we will be screening the documentary <strong>Camp Century</strong>, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.</p>
-<p><strong>David Young</strong> is a researcher interested in archiving media technologies, the history of computing, and the discourses of defence research in the United States during the Cold War. He is currently a M3C/AHRC-funded doctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham; his PhD topic is an examination of the technological administration of command and control systems, the forms of disciplinary practices they depend on in order to operate, and the strategic rationalities which shape their development over time. He has a background in digital media art, and has collaborated with artists, designers, and scientists in the production of experimental, research-oriented artworks funded by the Arts Trust Scotland, New Scotland's Alt-W award, and Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> is a series of screenings initiated by the <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> collective and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam. Together, we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.</p>

These are the terms of a cognitive dissonance that turns everyone’s life into a shaky project in perennial start-up phase. <a href="https://silviolorusso.com/">Silvio Lorusso</a> 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.

-<p>In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with <a href="https://www.oddweb.org/">ODD</a>, a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.</p>
-<p>The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.</p>
-</blockquote>

-<small>Attendants reading Constant's "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room" letter. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.</p>
-<p>After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.</p>
-<p>Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.</p>
-<p>We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.</p>
-<p>Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the <em>Welcome to the Federation</em> project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer." src="/images/the-social-in-the-media-02.jpg">
-<small>Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing <em>through</em> leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "<em>PUBLISH</em>" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.</p>
-<p>For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project <a href="http://pushingscores.deplayer.nl/">Pushing Scores</a>, developed by Cristina and Julie, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers." src="/images/varia_s2s_federation.svg">
-<small>Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers.</small></p>
-<p>Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools. We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the <a href="https://feministhacktivism.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/03/what-is-a-feminist-server/">Feminist Server Manifesto</a>). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.</p>Cristina, Julie, Manetta, Roel, SilvioMon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200tag:None,2019-10-21:varia.zone/en/the-social-in-the-media.htmlarticlereportFloppy Totaal: Double Densityvaria.zone/en/floppy-totaal-DD.html<p>Floppy Totaal visits Varia for another round of dual-layered action.

-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

We will celebrate this with an evening of stories and discussions around networks and maintenance practices.</p>
-<p><strong>Location</strong>: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>
-<strong>Date</strong>: Saturday 28th of September <br>
-<strong>Time</strong>: 19:30h - 21:30h</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="/images/nooo2.relearn2.jpg"></p>
-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is a para-nodal<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> 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. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is the second volume of this series.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>Three of these projects, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> and <em>Relearn</em>, 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.</p>
-<p>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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>homebrewserver.club</em>, a periodic gathering where people learn together and reflect on self-hosting digital content. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, a project centered on the development of local offline digital libraries for the distribution of electronic publications within small communities. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, a self-organised 'summer school' reflecting upon collective learning, that has as many teachers as it has participants. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>With this publication we hope to improve their resilience, portability, long-term sustainability and accessibility.</p>
-<p>The first issue in the series was initiated by <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> and documents the project 'Etherbox', a <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collaborative writing and documentation environment</a>. 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is the 13th edition of the <strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>We are very happy to announce that a second <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> by Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) will take place at Varia on Monday the 23rd of September. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>

-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

Kicking of the second half of 2019, we organize an event where three stirring acts will show their craft.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>

-<p>This evening we will be screening the documentary Crystal Go To War from 1943. Created by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, it shows the processes that quartz crystals have to go through before they are ready to be inserted into radios and communication equipment.</p>
-<p>Quartz crystals have been part of human life for decades and since the discovery of its piezoelectric properties in the 1880's it has been a key component in modern technology.</p>
-<p>Before the screening, there will be a small introduction the usage of crystals in technology. So join us on the 24 for the first screening of the 2 seasons of Century 21 Calling!</p>

-<p>Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.</p>
-<p>During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.</p>
-<ul>
-<li>At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi. </li>
-<li>In addition participants will get an understanding of the ins and outs of managing collections of digital books. </li>
-<li>Last but not least, participants will take home a working Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute books!</li>

This subject zone can morph into multiple directions throughout the session. Our specific interest is in how <strong>publishing formats</strong> (••) operate with/on/through this zone.</p>
-<p>• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digital interdependencies</li>
-<li>affective infrastructures</li>
-<li>homebrew networks</li>
-<li>networked entanglements</li>
-<li>feminist servers</li>
-<li>federated networks</li>
-<li>and-and-networks</li>
-<li>digital autonomy</li>
-<li>transitional infrastructures</li>
-<li>digital selves-organisations</li>
-<li>so-and-sovereignty networks</li>
-<li>out-of-the-cloud thinking</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>•• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>multiple readers</li>
-<li>cross-readings created through algorithms</li>
-<li>logbooks</li>
-<li>syllabi</li>
-<li>documentation</li>
-<li>annotations</li>
-<li>cookbooks</li>
-<li>tutorials</li>
-<li>README</li>
-<li>bug reports</li>
-<li>link dumps</li>
-<li>scores</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>At the end of last year, <strong>De Player</strong> approached <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> and <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> will give a brief introduction to the tool, followed by <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> and <strong>Robert Kroos</strong>'s score interpretations. </p>
-<p>The performances will be ongoing throughout the night, you are welcome to join in at any moment.</p>
-<p>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

Rules change over the decades; What was once seen as a completely safe thing to do, is now extremely deadly. How do you stay safe in the traffic? What are the dangers around the office? Where can your children play safely? These questions and many more will be addressed during this informative evening. </p>
-<p>During “Century 21 Calling”, an series of screenings started by the collective <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam, we observe 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.</p>

For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group. </p>
-<p>This workshop is a moment for some out-of-the-cloud thinking. Departing from a discussion on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the digital infrastructures that shape our everyday cultural practices and online socialities. The workshop will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, to hosting cooperatives, free software philosophy and feminist understandings of the internet.</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Watt’s Cookin’ </strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Beachcombartband </strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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? </p>

-<p>Conversas is a series of bi-weekly informal meetings made so that we can get to know each other, share projects, stories or interests. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>The three Conversadores for the session at Varia are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Dutch Love Letters)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Nude models, postcolonialism and museums)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressions around a flag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>After a 3 month artist residency (State of the City, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.

During this 'Christmas special' we'll take a walk through the shopping center and focus our attention on amazon.com, creditcards and refund instruction video’s. This will surely get you in the shopping mood!</p>
-<p><strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> is a series by the collective Save_as and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam. During these screenings we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.</p>
-<p><strong>Save_as</strong> is a platform for 360 degrees media exploration by Thomas Walskaar and Léna Robin, initiated in 2017. Save_as investigates media and alternative publishing practices, to observe tensions which emanate from them. Save_as is also an independent publisher of printed and non-printed matter.</p>

At the same time there has been a new platform, Mastodon, which has been gaining popularity in the way it seeks to address the sources of this unease. It looks and behaves like similar platforms, but under the hood it works substantially different ways. </p>
-<p>Rather than a single service, <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is part of a collection of community-owned independent services that interoperate with each other. This larger set of projects is also known as the Fediverse and is compromised of vastly different softwares, cultures and attitudes.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the � Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

The question remains however; Is there also room for something extra? And what could that extra element be? Today we will focus on the concept of velocity by showcasing concerts by musicians working with both speed and movement in their compositions and performances!</p>
-<p>The event is comprised of the following elements:</p>
-<p><strong>Bismuth</strong> is a two-man formation, made up of experimental instrument builder Yuri Landman and multi-instrumentalist Arnold van de Velde (ex-Feverdream). Together they play a space-filling amount of self-built instruments made of wood, steel, strings, motors and electronics. This colorful collection of instruments leads to a rhythmic amalgamation of experimental noise rock, dance and gamelan.</p>

-<p><strong>good cop / naughty cop</strong> make instant electronic compositions with self-programmed software and self-made controllers. They aim for a physical approach towards electronic music (and in particular realtime synthesis) by using objects such as bicycles, radios, FM transmitters and little solar cell synths in their performances. Their music – sometimes described as ‘improvised noise ambient’ – is influenced by the music and ideas of artists like John Cage, Tim Hecker, John Zorn and Captain Beefheart. Current members are composer/sound artist Sjoerd Leijten and ambient producer/pianist Patrick Bossink aka. Arpatle.</p>

For the last 10 years he has performed continuously under various monikors (Gul Night Out, Het Open Hart, Moonflower Warrior, DJ La Dolce Vita) and in a variety of setups. At Maximum Velocity he will perform a dance inspired by the concept of meditative sufi whirling, practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. </p>

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?</p>
-<p>To communicate the project to a larger audience DE PLAYER asked <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> is introducing her project Untitled Records; a performative sound installation weaving historical and emotional narratives through the “instrumentalisation” of a collection of records.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (part of Varia) will present his <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>

-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>What values construct our contemporary attitude towards waste? </li>
-<li>Is it perhaps an obsession with utility? </li>
-<li>What are the artistic merits of repair?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is part of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s fellowship program around the theme of ‘burn out’. As 2017 fellow Ramon Amaro states, <em>“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.”</em> </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is curated by Silvio Lorusso, and jointly organized by HNI’s Research Department and XPUB.</p>

Was the Commandlinevaria.zone/en/curriculum-command-lines.html<h2 id="on-text-encodings-and-command-lines">On text, encodings and command lines.</h2>
-<p>The command line is a textual interface for the computer, rather than being an 'old fashioned' interface it is a completely different methodological approach to computing. Instead of large visual programs aimed at being 'professional tools', command line tools follow the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. These small programmes can be 'chained' together into pipelines capable of processing any type of data or text. These pipelines are a way of quickly producing unique and custom toolsets providing a wide range of creative opportunities.</p>
-<p>In this workshop we will focus on command line tools in relation to plain text. During the day we will dive into the social-cultural history of the command line interface, explore the materiality of plain text on a computer and discover a wide range of command line tools.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong>Evamuss (Peru/The Netherlands)</strong> 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).</p>

But rather that there was a potential for the process of site-making to become a process of exploring what a website can be. Exploring how one could do web publishing in a self-hosted<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:2">2</a></sup>, minimal<sup id="fnref:3"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:3">3</a></sup>, portable<sup id="fnref:4"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:4">4</a></sup>, documented<sup id="fnref:5"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:5">5</a></sup>, FLOSS<sup id="fnref:6"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6">6</a></sup> and playfull<sup id="fnref:6b"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6b">7</a></sup> way. In a way that connects to the multiplicity of practices that varia consists of. This text is the beginning of an attempt to make explicit and put to words some of the ideas and questions that drove this process. In the spirit of release early, release often we will publish a series of texts as we develop this site. Hopefully this can trigger questions on web design in the conceptual sense, not as a practice only involved with visual language, but as a practice considering on-line publishing ecosystems. One of the fundamental choices we made early on was to use a static site generator as our publishing tool, so we'll start by introducing the concepts of both 'static site' and 'generator'.</p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/varia_webhistory.gif">
-<small>The varia website unfolding over time.</small></p>
-<h2 id="static-site">Static site</h2>
-<p>Varia.zone is a <em>static</em> website. A static website is a 'traditional' website where all the content consists of HTML documents on the server's hard disk. In our case these are generated through Pelican<sup id="fnref:7"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:7">8</a></sup>, which is a collection of Python<sup id="fnref:8"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:8">9</a></sup> scripts and plugins<sup id="fnref:9"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:9">10</a></sup> to turn unstyled plain text into HTML pages. </p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/static-dynamic.svg">
-<small>Schematic overview of the main differences between a static and a dynamic website.</small></p>
-<p>This way of working can be understood to be different to 'more modern' websites. These modern methods use server side programming languages that generate the website on the fly by querying a database. This means that every time someone visits the site, it gets generated on demand. </p>
-<p>A static website instead gets generated once and exists as a set of documents. They are always there, not only when a visitor visits the page. Like the tree in the forest that also falls when nobody is there to hear it. Static websites are thus based on file storage whereas dynamic websites depend on recurrent computation. A website based on storage has some advantages for performance, security, portability and reproducibility that we will address in detail later in the series. </p>
-<p>The static website is supportive to another idea we would like to push for: independent, self-hosted services. Since a static website requires less resources, one can do with a not-so-powerful, energy efficient server to host them. This opens up the possibility to (economically) serve the site directly from our space, which we currently do. </p>
-<p><img alt="The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed." src="/images/varia.server.jpg">
-<small>The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed.</small></p>
-<p>In general hosting a server from one's own space introduces some security concerns. These are however partly mitigated by a static site, because it doesn't use server side languages. That also means the web server doesn't become a liability in terms of exploitable plug-ins or databases like in popular systems such as Wordpress. Once it has been generated, it is very much a case of set and forget.</p>
-<p>In essence the minimal file-based website is contrary to a cloud mentality, where the material circumstances of the hardware and hosting location are made irrelevant (for the cloud/vps customer) meaning that any 'service' can be 'deployed', 'scaled' 'migrated' etc. Our approach instead informs what can be hosted based on the material circumstances of the server. The choice to self-host this website is a start for us to think about what it means to base web design decisions on a specific situation in terms of hardware and hosting location. </p>
-<h2 id="generator">Generator</h2>
-<p>The static HTML documents that together make the varia website are not manually written in the html language, but are generated out of a set 'plain text'<sup id="fnref:10"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:10">11</a></sup> documents. This <em>generating</em> aspect allows for multiple ways to engage with the texts and images that we publish. It is a promising way to think about possible transformations of plain text into not just web pages but different media altogether. </p>
-<p>One of the needs for transformability comes from the fact that our website exists in a context where usage of the web has atrophied to the point where one is required to publish on or via social media in order to reach an audience at all. However, politically we are not interested in dedicated profiles on social media platforms for our organization. This is a clear decision driven by a strong desire to self-host and own our content, yet allowing to let that content be referred to comfortably within social media as well. The technique of the generator allows us to do this<sup id="fnref:11"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:11">12</a></sup>. </p>
-<p>Working with generative processes also triggers our interest and enthusiasm for exploring other publishing tools. One can imagine a single text or article morphing into widely different media such as calendar entries, RSS feeds, email newsletters, posters, etc. Each of these introducing their own potentials for playful aesthetics, reading experiences and publics. This is on the one hand interesting as a form of automation that reduces (or better: re-uses) work, but more importantly as a process which necessarily will introduce new 'forms' and aesthetics.</p>

-<small>This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language.</small></p>
-<p>At the center this processes relies heavily on the habit of writing in markdown, a mark-up language that allows one to add styling information to plain text, so that it can be read by both people and a variety of tools. The markdown files can be archived using versioning tools<sup id="fnref:12"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:12">13</a></sup> or easily converted into different formats using generators. The content of the website, in its 'raw' form, can therefore be read by many other softwares across (historical) operating systems or included in other workflows, and thus stay open for potential reuse and long-term re-accesibility. Using this process makes it possible for our source files to remain simple, fluid and archivable. </p>
-<h2 id="concluding">Concluding</h2>
-<p>Revisiting static sites and taking all these small steps feels like going back in time. However, revisiting web-development basics in this sense becomes a vehicle for understanding the web of these days. To get a sense of the compound choices that have sedimented over time into 'web design' practices and that remain opaque when using ready made frameworks. Creating an on-line publishing work flow from ground up instead allows one to explore the potentials and challenge the conventions of what a website should be. </p>

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.</p>

-<ul>
-<li>June 1st, 19.00 - 22.00 - introduction to XMPP and lecture by Daniel Gultsch</li>
-<li>June 2nd, 10.00 - 18.00 - hands on worksession on design and federated chat systems. <br>Please register for the worksession via <code>info * varia.zone</code></li>
-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is the developer behind <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, an open source instant messaging application for Android. In 2014, he decided to work full time on Conversations and try to make a living from it. Rather than starting from scratch with Conversations, he built it as a client for the existing federated messaging protocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Since an XMPP messenger can, in a way, only be as good as the entire ecosystem, Daniels work on Conversations also meant work on expanding and improving that larger XMPP ecosystem. This work includes helping to draft and implement protocol standards, such as OMEMO, a modern and user-friendly end-to-end encryption based on Signal's protocol. He also contributed code to other XMPP servers and clients in the ecosystem to bring them up to speed with modern uses. Additionally, <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">through his critical essays</a> he is a vocal defender of XMPP and open standards in general.</p>
-<p>Conversations is notable because, through its continuous focus on user experience, design and security it has garnered a lot of interest for both itself and the XMPP ecosystem as a whole. This makes it an interesting example to talk about what the design field could potentially contribute to critical software practices.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the � Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Calling all extra-amateurs, protoprofessionals and circumstantial algologgers.</p>

-Algolit session: From words to numbers through word-embeddings</p>
-<p>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 <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a>, 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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

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 <a href="https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html">"It Is As If You Were Doing Work"</a> by Pippin Barr and <a href="http://thefounder.biz/">"The Founder"</a> by Francis Tseng.</p>

-“Extratonality - Opening Doors Is Not Enough”</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>This event is made possible by the kind support of the Institute of Extratonal Composition, WORM pirate bay, varia and nothing more.</p>

On December 16 he will give a short lecture about everything that concerns him. In addition, we serve some soup.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>A few of his words:</p>
-<p>was ist es wenn die insekten sterben? was ist dann noch?

-<p>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.</p>

-Variavaria.zone/en/Centre for Everyday TechnologySat, 21 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0100Sensible World Of Soccer - Varia Cup 2020varia.zone/en/sensible-soccer.html<p>Become a goal scoring superstar hero at the <strong>Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020</strong>! 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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-A strong community (check out <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <strong>Sensible World of Soccer 2020</strong>! 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>for a legal way to buy the game).</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-Het komt mede door een sterke community (zie ook <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>waar het spel verkocht wordt).</p>

-<p>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. </p>
-<p><strong>Radio-active female monstrosity - Angeliki D.
-</strong></p>
-<p>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. </p>

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) <a href="http://www.irational.org/">irational.org</a>, but turned away from the Internet in 1998, seeing its corporate takeover as early as in that year. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The above is only a small fraction of his activities in working against control systems. <strong>Florian Cramer </strong>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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong>the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse</strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Het bovenstaande is slechts een klein deel van zijn activiteiten en strijd tegen controlesystemen. <strong> Florian Cramer </strong> 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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong> the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse </strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>
-<p>Programma:</p>
-<p><strong> 14.00-16.00: </strong> Dertig jaar onderzoek naar en activisme tegen controlesystemen - gesprek- en projectevaluatie met Heath Bunting <br>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) and <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?</p>
-<p>‘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.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> and <em>Nathalie Berger</em> set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.</p>
-<p>Het tweede deel van het programma wordt verzorgd door Sam Kreuk, die zijn solo-project City Dragon zal presenteren.</p>

-City Dragon is het soloproject van <em>Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk</em>. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops.

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) en <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?</p>
-<p>‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> en <em>Nathalie Berger</em> gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.</p>
-<p>Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.</p>
-<p>Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.</p>
-<p>Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.</p>

-<p>The <strong>Feminist Hack Meetings</strong> are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation. We will also include hardware and sound explorations. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The idea started after participating in <strong>/ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.</p>

-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops die gericht zijn op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken on het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen. </p>
-<p>Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich. </p>
-<p>Het idee begon na de deelname aan het <strong>ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.</p>
-<p>In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .</p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organizes another round of their <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> at Varia on Monday the 25th of November. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organiseert wederom een <em>huurdersspreekuur</em> en <em>meet and greet</em> bij Varia.</p>
-<p>Op maandag 25 november ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>
-<p>SoliGroetjes,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden. Gezien deze situatie leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden. Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.</em></p>
-<p><em>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 vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!</em></p>

-<p>Planning:</p>
-<p><strong>15:00-17:00 Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30-21:00: BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We geven een korte presentatie over de activiteiten die de Bond Precaire Woonvormen heeft ondernomen om woonzekerheid op te eisen voor bewoners.

-<p>“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.

However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.</p>
-<p>In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret <strong>Project Iceworm</strong>. During this edition of <strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> we will be screening the documentary <strong>Camp Century</strong>, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.</p>
-<p><strong>David Young</strong> is a researcher interested in archiving media technologies, the history of computing, and the discourses of defence research in the United States during the Cold War. He is currently a M3C/AHRC-funded doctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham; his PhD topic is an examination of the technological administration of command and control systems, the forms of disciplinary practices they depend on in order to operate, and the strategic rationalities which shape their development over time. He has a background in digital media art, and has collaborated with artists, designers, and scientists in the production of experimental, research-oriented artworks funded by the Arts Trust Scotland, New Scotland's Alt-W award, and Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> is a series of screenings initiated by the <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> collective and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam. Together, we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.</p>

-<p>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. <a href="https://silviolorusso.com/">Silvio Lorusso</a> 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.</p>

Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.</p>
-<p>In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime <strong> Project Iceworm </strong>.Tijdens deze editie van <strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> zullen we de documentaire <strong> Camp Century </strong> bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.</p>
-<p><strong> David Young </strong> is een onderzoeker die geïnteresseerd is in het archiveren van mediatechnologieën, de geschiedenis van informatica en het discours van defensie-onderzoek in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Hij is momenteel een M3C / AHRC-gefinancierd doctoraatsonderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Nottingham; zijn doctoraatsthema is een onderzoek naar de technologische administratie van commando- en controlesystemen, de vormen van disciplinaire praktijken waarvan ze afhankelijk zijn om te opereren, en de strategische rationaliteiten die hun ontwikkeling in de loop van de tijd bepalen. Hij heeft een achtergrond in digitale mediakunst en heeft samengewerkt met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en wetenschappers bij de productie van experimentele, op onderzoek gerichte kunstwerken gefinancierd door de Arts Trust Scotland, de Alt-W Award van New Scotland en Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> is een initiatief van het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt georganiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de industriële archieffilms, infomercials, tv-rapporten en documentaires die in het verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd, en gebruiken deze om het heden te doorgronden.</p>

-<p>In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with <a href="https://www.oddweb.org/">ODD</a>, a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.</p>
-<p>The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.</p>
-</blockquote>

-<small>Attendants reading Constant's "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room" letter. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.</p>
-<p>After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.</p>
-<p>Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.</p>
-<p>We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.</p>
-<p>Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the <em>Welcome to the Federation</em> project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer." src="/images/the-social-in-the-media-02.jpg">
-<small>Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing <em>through</em> leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "<em>PUBLISH</em>" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.</p>
-<p>For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project <a href="http://pushingscores.deplayer.nl/">Pushing Scores</a>, developed by Cristina and Julie, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers." src="/images/varia_s2s_federation.svg">
-<small>Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers.</small></p>
-<p>Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools. We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the <a href="https://feministhacktivism.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/03/what-is-a-feminist-server/">Feminist Server Manifesto</a>). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.</p>Cristina, Julie, Manetta, Roel, SilvioMon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200tag:None,2019-10-21:varia.zone/en/the-social-in-the-media.htmlarticlereportTHE SOCIAL IN THE MEDIA: Over Digitale Inter-Afhankelijkheden (Varia bezoekt ODD)varia.zone/the-social-in-the-media.html<p>Afgelopen zomer bezochten we ODD in Boekarest, om een presentatie te geven over collectieve infrastructuren en tools.

-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<li>Floppy Kick Workshop</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

We will celebrate this with an evening of stories and discussions around networks and maintenance practices.</p>
-<p><strong>Location</strong>: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>
-<strong>Date</strong>: Saturday 28th of September <br>
-<strong>Time</strong>: 19:30h - 21:30h</p>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is a para-nodal<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> 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. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is the second volume of this series.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>Three of these projects, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> and <em>Relearn</em>, 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.</p>
-<p>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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>homebrewserver.club</em>, a periodic gathering where people learn together and reflect on self-hosting digital content. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, a project centered on the development of local offline digital libraries for the distribution of electronic publications within small communities. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, a self-organised 'summer school' reflecting upon collective learning, that has as many teachers as it has participants. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>With this publication we hope to improve their resilience, portability, long-term sustainability and accessibility.</p>
-<p>The first issue in the series was initiated by <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> and documents the project 'Etherbox', a <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collaborative writing and documentation environment</a>. 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is the 13th edition of the <strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Om dit te vieren organiseren we een avond met verhalen en discussies over netwerken en onderhoudspraktijken.</p>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is een para-nodale<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een <em>release</em> van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks. </p>
-<p>In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid. </p>
-<p>Drie van deze projecten, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> en <em>Relearn</em>, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.</p>
-<p>Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>Homebrewserver.club</em>, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.</p>
-<p>De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving</a>. Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is de 13e editie van de <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.</p>
-<p>De <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.</p>
-<p>De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.</p>

-<p>We are very happy to announce that a second <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> by Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) will take place at Varia on Monday the 23rd of September. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents.

-<p>We zijn erg blij om aan te mogen kondigen dat een tweede <em>huurdersspreekuur</em> en <em>meet and greet</em> van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) bij Varia plaats zal vinden.</p>
-<p>Op maandag 23 september ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>

-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><em>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!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We geven een korte presentatie over de activiteiten die de Bond Precaire Woonvormen heeft ondernomen om woonzekerheid op te eisen voor bewoners.

Kicking of the second half of 2019, we organize an event where three stirring acts will show their craft.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>

-<p>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.</p>

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</p>

-<p>Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.</p>
-<p>During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.</p>
-<ul>
-<li>At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi. </li>
-<li>In addition participants will get an understanding of the ins and outs of managing collections of digital books. </li>
-<li>Last but not least, participants will take home a working Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute books!</li>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><em>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.
-</em>Bovendien zul je de ins- en outs van het beheren van een digitale collectie meekrijgen met o.a metadatabeheer en bestandsformaten.

This subject zone can morph into multiple directions throughout the session. Our specific interest is in how <strong>publishing formats</strong> (••) operate with/on/through this zone.</p>
-<p>• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digital interdependencies</li>
-<li>affective infrastructures</li>
-<li>homebrew networks</li>
-<li>networked entanglements</li>
-<li>feminist servers</li>
-<li>federated networks</li>
-<li>and-and-networks</li>
-<li>digital autonomy</li>
-<li>transitional infrastructures</li>
-<li>digital selves-organisations</li>
-<li>so-and-sovereignty networks</li>
-<li>out-of-the-cloud thinking</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>•• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>multiple readers</li>
-<li>cross-readings created through algorithms</li>
-<li>logbooks</li>
-<li>syllabi</li>
-<li>documentation</li>
-<li>annotations</li>
-<li>cookbooks</li>
-<li>tutorials</li>
-<li>README</li>
-<li>bug reports</li>
-<li>link dumps</li>
-<li>scores</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Friday 7th June 20:00 - 22:00</strong><br>

-<p>If you would like to join this Relearn session, please send an email to <a href="mailto:info@varia.zone">info@varia.zone</a> with a short motivation of your interest. We will reply to subscriptions on a regular basis, up to the <strong>26th of May</strong>.</p>
-<p>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 <em>daily vegetarian lunch</em> (please let us know about allergies or other dietary preferences). Following a tradition from previous years, we will arrange a <em>hosting network</em> 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.</p>

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 <strong>publicatie vormen</strong> (••) functioneren binnen/met deze zone. </p>
-<p>• 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 <em>zone</em> verder op te rekken, te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digitale inter-afhankelijkheden</li>
-<li>affectieve infrastructuur</li>

-</ul>
-<p>•• 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 <em>relearn</em> suggereert? Te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>

-<p>Als je mee wilt doen aan Relearn, stuur ons dan een mail op <a href="mailto:info@varia.zone">info@varia.zone</a> met een korte motivatie om je interesse toe te lichten. We zullen met enige regelmaat op inschrijvingen antwoorden, tot <strong>26 mei</strong>.</p>
-<p>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 <em>vegetarische lunch</em> (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 <em>hosting netwerk</em> 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. </p>

-<p>At the end of last year, <strong>De Player</strong> approached <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> and <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> will give a brief introduction to the tool, followed by <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> and <strong>Robert Kroos</strong>'s score interpretations. </p>
-<p>The performances will be ongoing throughout the night, you are welcome to join in at any moment.</p>
-<p>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

-<p>Eind vorige jaar benaderde <strong>De Player</strong> <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om langs te komen op vrijdag 31 Mei in Varia. Waar <strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> en <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> de archiefpublicatie zullen introduceren. Daarna volgen er performances van <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Robert Kroos</strong> en <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong>.</p>

-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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.</p>

Rules change over the decades; What was once seen as a completely safe thing to do, is now extremely deadly. How do you stay safe in the traffic? What are the dangers around the office? Where can your children play safely? These questions and many more will be addressed during this informative evening. </p>
-<p>During “Century 21 Calling”, an series of screenings started by the collective <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam, we observe 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.</p>

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.</p>

For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group. </p>
-<p>This workshop is a moment for some out-of-the-cloud thinking. Departing from a discussion on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the digital infrastructures that shape our everyday cultural practices and online socialities. The workshop will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, to hosting cooperatives, free software philosophy and feminist understandings of the internet.</p>

-<p>We traveled from home to home by bicycle, setting up homeservers. As friends and companions on this Infrastructour, we studied our routers over drinks served by our hosts. Where possible we installed our servers in our homes, in other cases we had to depend on another member of the group. </p>
-<p>While self-hosting together we questioned our understandings of networks, autonomy, online publishing and social infrastructures, where each of us departed from a different question. We would like to share our personal (yet interconnected) routes with you, tell you a story, present our web- and printed zines, and invite you to explore our homebrewed network.</p>

-<p>Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke <em>homebrew</em> netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze <em>host</em> een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze <em>infrastructour</em> onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden. In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep. </p>
-<p>Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van <em>self-hosting</em> een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Watt’s Cookin’ </strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Beachcombartband </strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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? </p>

-<p>Conversas is a series of bi-weekly informal meetings made so that we can get to know each other, share projects, stories or interests. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>The three Conversadores for the session at Varia are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Dutch Love Letters)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Nude models, postcolonialism and museums)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressions around a flag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>After a 3 month artist residency (State of the City, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><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.</p>

-<p>Conversas is een reeks van tweewekelijkse informele ontmoetingen om elkaar te leren kennen, projecten, verhalen of interesses te delen.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>De drie Conversadores voor de sessie bij Varia zijn dat wel:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Nederlandse liefdesbrieven)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Naakt modellen, postkolonialisme en musea)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressies rond een vlag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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.

-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>Na een residentie van 3 maanden (Staat van de Stad, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), presenteert <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.

At the same time there has been a new platform, Mastodon, which has been gaining popularity in the way it seeks to address the sources of this unease. It looks and behaves like similar platforms, but under the hood it works substantially different ways. </p>
-<p>Rather than a single service, <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is part of a collection of community-owned independent services that interoperate with each other. This larger set of projects is also known as the Fediverse and is compromised of vastly different softwares, cultures and attitudes.</p>

-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op de constatering van een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' online diensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presentaties en werksessies wordt er aandacht besteed aan de softwareprojecten die deel uit maken van deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die (op)nieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, door veel aandacht te besteden aan ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren.

The question remains however; Is there also room for something extra? And what could that extra element be? Today we will focus on the concept of velocity by showcasing concerts by musicians working with both speed and movement in their compositions and performances!</p>
-<p>The event is comprised of the following elements:</p>
-<p><strong>Bismuth</strong> is a two-man formation, made up of experimental instrument builder Yuri Landman and multi-instrumentalist Arnold van de Velde (ex-Feverdream). Together they play a space-filling amount of self-built instruments made of wood, steel, strings, motors and electronics. This colorful collection of instruments leads to a rhythmic amalgamation of experimental noise rock, dance and gamelan.</p>

-<p><strong>good cop / naughty cop</strong> make instant electronic compositions with self-programmed software and self-made controllers. They aim for a physical approach towards electronic music (and in particular realtime synthesis) by using objects such as bicycles, radios, FM transmitters and little solar cell synths in their performances. Their music – sometimes described as ‘improvised noise ambient’ – is influenced by the music and ideas of artists like John Cage, Tim Hecker, John Zorn and Captain Beefheart. Current members are composer/sound artist Sjoerd Leijten and ambient producer/pianist Patrick Bossink aka. Arpatle.</p>

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?</p>
-<p>To communicate the project to a larger audience DE PLAYER asked <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> is introducing her project Untitled Records; a performative sound installation weaving historical and emotional narratives through the “instrumentalisation” of a collection of records.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (part of Varia) will present his <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>

-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

Dit initiatief over de hedendaagse betekenis van de 'grafische score' is de afgelopen 2-3 jaar door <strong><a href="https://www.deplayer.nl/">De Player</a></strong> uitgevoerd. Zij heeft aan <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> introduceert haar project 'Untitled Records'; een performatieve geluidsinstallatie die historische en emotionele vertellingen verweeft door middel van de 'instrumentalisatie' van een verzameling platen.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (onderdeel van Varia) presenteert zijn <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>
-<h2 id="over-pushing-scores">Over Pushing Scores</h2>
-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>What values construct our contemporary attitude towards waste? </li>
-<li>Is it perhaps an obsession with utility? </li>
-<li>What are the artistic merits of repair?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

Er is een eveneens groeiende vraag ontstaan voor het opnieuw gebruiken, repareren, verwijderen en bergen van dit materiaal, waarbij verschillende methoden worden toegepast die elk hun eigen impact hebben op de economie en het milieu. Hieruit vloeien enkele relevante vragen:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Welke waarden construeren onze hedendaagse houding tegenover afval?</li>
-<li>Is het misschien een obsessie met nuttigheid?</li>
-<li>Wat zijn de artistieke verdiensten van reparatie?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>In deze workshop, georganiseerd door Yoana Buzova en Niek Hilkmann, zullen we de implicaties van de recycling van (elektronisch) afval bekijken. Dit gebeurt in een praktische workshop waarin we plaatsen bezoeken waar 'afval' wordt verzameld om vervolgens het concept van reparatie en recyclage op zijn kop zet. Uitgaande van het idee dat nutteloosheid, net als een haiku-gedicht, een bepaald subversief potentieel bevat, zullen we een gebruiksvoorwerp reparen tot iets volkomen nutteloos.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is part of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s fellowship program around the theme of ‘burn out’. As 2017 fellow Ramon Amaro states, <em>“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.”</em> </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Life Hacks is onderdeel van het fellowship-programma van Het Nieuwe Instituut met het thema 'burn out'. Zoals verwoord door <em>fellow</em> Ramon Amaro:</p>
-<p><em>“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.”</em></p>
-<p><em>Life Hacks</em> 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.</p>

-<p>The command line is a textual interface for the computer, rather than being an 'old fashioned' interface it is a completely different methodological approach to computing. Instead of large visual programs aimed at being 'professional tools', command line tools follow the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. These small programmes can be 'chained' together into pipelines capable of processing any type of data or text. These pipelines are a way of quickly producing unique and custom toolsets providing a wide range of creative opportunities.</p>
-<p>In this workshop we will focus on command line tools in relation to plain text. During the day we will dive into the social-cultural history of the command line interface, explore the materiality of plain text on a computer and discover a wide range of command line tools.</p>

-<p>De <em>command line</em> is een tekstuele interface voor de computer, niet zozeer een die 'ouderwets' is maar een die een geheel andere methodolgie van computergebruik mogelijk maakt. In tegenstelling tot grote software paketten die als 'professioneel' worden vermarkt , volgen <em>command line tools</em> de filosofie om één ding te doen en dat goed te doen. Deze kleine programma's kunnen samen worden 'gebonden' tot <em>pipelines</em> die elk type data of tekst kunnen verwerken. Deze <em>pipelines</em> zijn een manier om snel unieke en specifieke gereedschappen te produceren die een breed scala aan creatieve mogelijkheden bieden.</p>
-<p>In deze workshop zullen we ons concentreren op <em>command line tools</em> in relatie tot platte tekst (<em>plain text</em>). Gedurende de dag verkennen we de sociaal-culturele geschiedenis van de <em>command line interface</em>, onderzoeken we de materialiteit van tekst op een computer en proberen we een breed scala aan tools uit.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.

-<p><strong>Evamuss (Peru/The Netherlands)</strong> 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).</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong> Evamuss (Peru / Nederland) </strong> 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.</p>

But rather that there was a potential for the process of site-making to become a process of exploring what a website can be. Exploring how one could do web publishing in a self-hosted<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:2">2</a></sup>, minimal<sup id="fnref:3"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:3">3</a></sup>, portable<sup id="fnref:4"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:4">4</a></sup>, documented<sup id="fnref:5"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:5">5</a></sup>, FLOSS<sup id="fnref:6"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6">6</a></sup> and playfull<sup id="fnref:6b"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6b">7</a></sup> way. In a way that connects to the multiplicity of practices that varia consists of. This text is the beginning of an attempt to make explicit and put to words some of the ideas and questions that drove this process. In the spirit of release early, release often we will publish a series of texts as we develop this site. Hopefully this can trigger questions on web design in the conceptual sense, not as a practice only involved with visual language, but as a practice considering on-line publishing ecosystems. One of the fundamental choices we made early on was to use a static site generator as our publishing tool, so we'll start by introducing the concepts of both 'static site' and 'generator'.</p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/varia_webhistory.gif">
-<small>The varia website unfolding over time.</small></p>
-<h2 id="static-site">Static site</h2>
-<p>Varia.zone is a <em>static</em> website. A static website is a 'traditional' website where all the content consists of HTML documents on the server's hard disk. In our case these are generated through Pelican<sup id="fnref:7"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:7">8</a></sup>, which is a collection of Python<sup id="fnref:8"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:8">9</a></sup> scripts and plugins<sup id="fnref:9"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:9">10</a></sup> to turn unstyled plain text into HTML pages. </p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/static-dynamic.svg">
-<small>Schematic overview of the main differences between a static and a dynamic website.</small></p>
-<p>This way of working can be understood to be different to 'more modern' websites. These modern methods use server side programming languages that generate the website on the fly by querying a database. This means that every time someone visits the site, it gets generated on demand. </p>
-<p>A static website instead gets generated once and exists as a set of documents. They are always there, not only when a visitor visits the page. Like the tree in the forest that also falls when nobody is there to hear it. Static websites are thus based on file storage whereas dynamic websites depend on recurrent computation. A website based on storage has some advantages for performance, security, portability and reproducibility that we will address in detail later in the series. </p>
-<p>The static website is supportive to another idea we would like to push for: independent, self-hosted services. Since a static website requires less resources, one can do with a not-so-powerful, energy efficient server to host them. This opens up the possibility to (economically) serve the site directly from our space, which we currently do. </p>
-<p><img alt="The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed." src="/images/varia.server.jpg">
-<small>The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed.</small></p>
-<p>In general hosting a server from one's own space introduces some security concerns. These are however partly mitigated by a static site, because it doesn't use server side languages. That also means the web server doesn't become a liability in terms of exploitable plug-ins or databases like in popular systems such as Wordpress. Once it has been generated, it is very much a case of set and forget.</p>
-<p>In essence the minimal file-based website is contrary to a cloud mentality, where the material circumstances of the hardware and hosting location are made irrelevant (for the cloud/vps customer) meaning that any 'service' can be 'deployed', 'scaled' 'migrated' etc. Our approach instead informs what can be hosted based on the material circumstances of the server. The choice to self-host this website is a start for us to think about what it means to base web design decisions on a specific situation in terms of hardware and hosting location. </p>
-<h2 id="generator">Generator</h2>
-<p>The static HTML documents that together make the varia website are not manually written in the html language, but are generated out of a set 'plain text'<sup id="fnref:10"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:10">11</a></sup> documents. This <em>generating</em> aspect allows for multiple ways to engage with the texts and images that we publish. It is a promising way to think about possible transformations of plain text into not just web pages but different media altogether. </p>
-<p>One of the needs for transformability comes from the fact that our website exists in a context where usage of the web has atrophied to the point where one is required to publish on or via social media in order to reach an audience at all. However, politically we are not interested in dedicated profiles on social media platforms for our organization. This is a clear decision driven by a strong desire to self-host and own our content, yet allowing to let that content be referred to comfortably within social media as well. The technique of the generator allows us to do this<sup id="fnref:11"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:11">12</a></sup>. </p>
-<p>Working with generative processes also triggers our interest and enthusiasm for exploring other publishing tools. One can imagine a single text or article morphing into widely different media such as calendar entries, RSS feeds, email newsletters, posters, etc. Each of these introducing their own potentials for playful aesthetics, reading experiences and publics. This is on the one hand interesting as a form of automation that reduces (or better: re-uses) work, but more importantly as a process which necessarily will introduce new 'forms' and aesthetics.</p>
-<p><img alt="This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language." src="/images/what-a-website-can-be.markdown.png">
-<small>This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language.</small></p>
-<p>At the center this processes relies heavily on the habit of writing in markdown, a mark-up language that allows one to add styling information to plain text, so that it can be read by both people and a variety of tools. The markdown files can be archived using versioning tools<sup id="fnref:12"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:12">13</a></sup> or easily converted into different formats using generators. The content of the website, in its 'raw' form, can therefore be read by many other softwares across (historical) operating systems or included in other workflows, and thus stay open for potential reuse and long-term re-accesibility. Using this process makes it possible for our source files to remain simple, fluid and archivable. </p>
-<h2 id="concluding">Concluding</h2>
-<p>Revisiting static sites and taking all these small steps feels like going back in time. However, revisiting web-development basics in this sense becomes a vehicle for understanding the web of these days. To get a sense of the compound choices that have sedimented over time into 'web design' practices and that remain opaque when using ready made frameworks. Creating an on-line publishing work flow from ground up instead allows one to explore the potentials and challenge the conventions of what a website should be. </p>

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.</p>

Water is altijd in beweging en vindt altijd een weg. Historisch gezien nemen fonteinen als verzamelplaats van water en mensen een centrale plaats in binnen het stads- en dorpsleven. Vaak werden zij geplaatst ter herdenking van een grote veldslag, pestepidemie of andere historische gebeurtenis, geschonken door een veldheer of mecenas. Helaas bezit Charlois momenteel geen werkende fontein. Niek Hilkmann en Anne Kolbe willen dit gebrek verhelpen door Charlois tijdelijk een mobiele fontein te geven die niet gebonden is aan een vaste plek of duiding. Deze fontein zal op 2 juni om 13:00 bij Varia gepresenteerd worden en is vervolgens tijdens de weekenden van Charlois Speciaal te zien, op zoek naar nieuwe betekenis en waardering.</p>

-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is the developer behind <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, an open source instant messaging application for Android. In 2014, he decided to work full time on Conversations and try to make a living from it. Rather than starting from scratch with Conversations, he built it as a client for the existing federated messaging protocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Since an XMPP messenger can, in a way, only be as good as the entire ecosystem, Daniels work on Conversations also meant work on expanding and improving that larger XMPP ecosystem. This work includes helping to draft and implement protocol standards, such as OMEMO, a modern and user-friendly end-to-end encryption based on Signal's protocol. He also contributed code to other XMPP servers and clients in the ecosystem to bring them up to speed with modern uses. Additionally, <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">through his critical essays</a> he is a vocal defender of XMPP and open standards in general.</p>
-<p>Conversations is notable because, through its continuous focus on user experience, design and security it has garnered a lot of interest for both itself and the XMPP ecosystem as a whole. This makes it an interesting example to talk about what the design field could potentially contribute to critical software practices.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the � Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

-<p>Daniel Gultsch is de ontwikkelaar achter <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, een open source instant messaging-applicatie voor Android. In 2014 besloot hij om voltijds te werken aan Conversations en daar ook van proberen te leven. In plaats van helemaal opnieuw met Conversations te beginnen, bouwde hij een nieuwe client voor het bestaande gefedereerde chatprotocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Omdat een XMPP-applicatie in feite maar net zo goed kan zijn als het hele ecosysteem waar het onderdeel van is, was er voor Daniel een noodzaak om naast zijn werk aan Conversations ook bij te dragen aan het uitbreiden en verbeteren van dat grotere XMPP-ecosysteem. Deze werkzaamheden omvatten het helpen opstellen en implementeren van protocolstandaarden. OMEMO, een moderne en gebruiksvriendelijke end-to-end encryptie op basis van het protocol van Signal is daar een voorbeeld van. Hij draagt ook code bij aan andere XMPP-servers en -clients in het ecosysteem om ze te helpen te moderniseren. Daarnaast is hij <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">via zijn kritische essays</a> een uitgesproken voorstander van XMPP en open standaarden in het algemeen.</p>
-<p>Conversations is een uitzonderlijk project, omdat het door de aanhoudende focus op gebruikerservaring, ontwerp en beveiliging veel belangstelling heeft vergaard voor zowel zichzelf als ook het XMPP-ecosysteem als geheel. Dit maakt het een interessant voorbeeld om vanuit te bevragen hoe het ontwerpveld zou kunnen bijdragen aan kritieke softwarepraktijken.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' onlinediensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presenaties en werksessies worden in de context van dit project verschillende evenementen georganiseerd rond softwareprojecten die werken aan deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die opnieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, deels door hun focus op ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren.

-<p>Klaar met Microsoft Windows of Mac OS? Is je computer verouderd of kun je de software niet meer bijwerken? Dan is het tijd om Linux te proberen! Het Linux Presentation Day team dat eerdere edities in Leeszaal West heeft georganiseerd staat nu voor je klaar in varia. Wil je jou oude computer nieuw leven inblazen? Vergeet deze dan niet mee te nemen. Dan kun je daar Linux op uit proberen of hulp te krijgen bij het installeren!</p>
-<h2 id="adblocken-voor-beginners-hele-dag">Adblocken voor beginners (hele dag)</h2>
-<p>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. </p>
-<h2 id="solderen-kan-je-leren-1400-1600">Solderen kan je leren (14:00 - 16:00)</h2>
-<p>Maak kennis met elektronica door samen met wat onderdelen, een vaste hand en hulp van ons een mini boombox in elkaar te zetten! Neem je favoriete muziek, een oude (micro) SD-kaart en 5 euro voor materialen mee. 12 jaar en ouder. Geef je van tevoren op door ons een mail te sturen.</p>
-<h2 id="graphic-tool-test-party-1500-1600">Graphic tool-test-party (15:00 - 16:00)</h2>
-<p>Ben je benieuwd naar andere grafische softwarepaketten dan Photoshop? 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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-Algolit session: From words to numbers through word-embeddings</p>
-<p>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 <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a>, 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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<p>Algologs = een 1 dag + 1 dag dialoog rondom algoritmische werkwijzen. Dit evenement is een verlenging van Algolit, een werkgroep waar taal en algoritmes elkaar ontmoeten. Algologs maakt deel uit van een reeks ontmoetingen rondom de Algolit-bijeenkomsten (die normaal gesproken in Brussel plaatsvinden), om zo externe sprekers, presentatoren en deelnemers uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. Tijdens Algologs verhogen we het % betrokkenheid bij alledaagse algoritmes.</p>
-<p>Op vrijdagavond verkennen we een vermenigvuldiging van: Algoliteraire manieren om woorden te vertalen naar cijfers x infrapuncturele opluchtingen x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Om zo samen logs te maken van algoritmische standpunten, stemmen en werkwijzen.</p>
-<p>De presentaties op vrijdag worden gevolgd door een Algolit-sessie op zaterdag, waar we een collectieve duik zullen introduceren in de clusteringstechnieken van word-embeddings. Door stap voor stap naar een specifieke implementatie van word-embeddings te kijken, ontstaat een bron voor recepten voor kleine (op code of niet op code gebaseerde) experimenten.</p>

-<p>Deze sessie is een speciale editie en maakt deel uit van een langere tijdslijn van maandelijkse Algolit-bijeenkomsten georganiseerd door Constant in het WTC25 in Brussel. In 2018 koos Algolit er voor om haar sessies een meer open karakter te geven, zodat een spontane jump-in jump-out-deelname mogelijk is. Meer informatie en materiaal rond Algolit is te vinden op <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We beginnen de dag met het stapsgewijs doorlopen van het script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a> en langzaam naar zowel op code gebaseerde als niet-code gebaseerde experimenten te werken, afhankelijk van waar de deelnemers een voorkeur voor hebben. Deze werksessie is een moment om zelf en samen dingen uit te proberen.</p>
-<p>Opmerking voor deelnemers: het zou goed zijn om een laptop mee te nemen. Niet per se om met code of digitale hulpmiddelen te werken (we zijn grote fans van analoge experimenten!), maar vanuit de gewoonte om gezamenlijk aantekeningen te maken of te kijken naar referenties. Daarom is een laptop een fijne metgezel!</p>

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 <a href="https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html">"It Is As If You Were Doing Work"</a> by Pippin Barr and <a href="http://thefounder.biz/">"The Founder"</a> by Francis Tseng.</p>

-“Extratonality - Opening Doors Is Not Enough”</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>This event is made possible by the kind support of the Institute of Extratonal Composition, WORM pirate bay, varia and nothing more.</p>
-<p>Food, drinks and entrance are available on donation!</p>

-"Extratonaliteit - Het openen van deuren is niet genoeg"</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Dit evenement wordt mogelijk gemaakt door de vriendelijke steun van het Institute of Extratonal Composition, WORM pirate bay, varia en Nothing More.</p>

On December 16 he will give a short lecture about everything that concerns him. In addition, we serve some soup.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Let's talk about feminist servers! In this meeting, we invite you to discuss questions like:
-What does it mean for a server to be feminist, and how could it look like? What and who does it serve? What does it take to create and maintain it?
-We would like to map and draw collectively our ideas and consider the possibility of setting up a feminist server at Varia, as a base for our practice.
-We will bring material (like RPis and computers) to start experimenting and trying things out.
-Join us!

-
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.
-
In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.

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.
Mark Windisch aka. Eoforwine is the founder of the Floppy Kick label and plays beatless lo-fi noise music, spiced with modified field recordings, synths and a light theremin. He is a regular participant of Eastern Hungary's noise events, including the annual Zajkert (Noise Garden) and the Banzaj series, and has toured through and played at many experimental festivals and gallery openings through Middle-Europe and Ireland.
Tamás Szántó is a DJ, producer, cratedigger and promotor who is dedicated to seeking strange soundings and musical forms with peculiar diligence. He harkens the musical topicalities; not to adapt, but to avoid them. Collecting records such as experimental noise mixes, or fine theatrical idm ones; he might as well have just the right, harsh & obscure
-acid vinyl to mix further with.
Joseph Oliver Anton Knierzinger or JoaK is an artist and ghost artist. At the moment he works on different algorithms and alogisms between Vienna, Guangzhou and Wartberg. At Floppy Totaal he will present the results of his explorations into the recordable magnetic properties of the floppy disk.
Michael Ridge is a UK based artist that creates works whichoften incorporate sound, video, electronics, sculpture, collage and found objects, often exploring the properties of sound reproduction through non-musical materials and objects. He has a keen interest in documenting and presenting the unwanted, overlooked or decayed. Some of his activities include recording and performing Noise Music under the alias Zebra Mu, running the DIY record label Quagga Curious Sounds, being one half of the drawing/zine/mail art duo Ridge & Scrase and being a member of the artist collective other/other/other. For Floppy Totaal Michael Ridge will compose a new sound art composition that draws inspiration from the works of John Cage and Alvin Lucier; whilst examining the physical and storage limitations of the humble floppy disk. A commemoration of extreme file compression!
Jason Scott Sadofsky is an American archivist, historian of technology, filmmaker, performer, and actor. Scott has been known by the online pseudonyms Sketch, SketchCow, and The Slipped Disk and has been called "figurehead of the digital archiving world". He is the creator, owner and maintainer of textfiles.com, a web site which archives files from historic bulletin board systems. He is the creator of a 2005 documentary film about BBSes, BBS: The Documentary, and a 2010 documentary film about interactive fiction, GET LAMP. During Floppy Totaal a long distance conversation will be held with Jason Scott about his work, his life and the current state of the floppy disk.
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.

- Heath Bunting - in conversation with 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, 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 in Rotterdam.

Once we were all promised a better tomorrow with robots, atomic powered cars and inflatable plastic homes.

A few months have passed since the 11th issue of the Pervasive Labour Union zine 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" by Pippin Barr and "The Founder" by Francis Tseng.

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.

- Welcome to the � Federation - Mastodon and The Fediverse
-
In recent years there has been a lot of dissatisfaction about social media. At the same time there has been a new platform, Mastodon, which has been gaining popularity in the way it seeks to address the sources of this unease. It looks and behaves like similar platforms, but under the hood it works substantially different ways.
-
Rather than a single service, Mastodon is part of a collection of community-owned independent services that interoperate with each other. This larger set of projects is also known as the Fediverse and is compromised of vastly different softwares, cultures and attitudes.
-
Public conversation
-
A general introduction into Mastodon and the Fediverse
-Saturday 8 December 2018
-20:00h - 21:30h
-
On the Saturday 8th of December Wtt�F will host an evening roundtable as a general introduction into Mastodon and the Fediverse. How does it work? What are the underlying concepts? Who made it? What has been the history behind it? What kind of different communities inhabit this Fediverse? What does it mean to host such a community?
-
It will be hosted together by an administrator of a large Mastodon community and an administrator of a small Mastodon community. Both are also contributors to the fediverse.

As part of this edition of Wtt�F we will also spend the afternoon together to look at the documentation and translation of the Mastodon project. How does the translation of open source projects work? How are projects communicated? How can the technical concepts be made accessible for larger audiences without diluting their significance?

Welcome to the � Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX).
-
The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: Welcome to the � Federation

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.

-
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.

- Music: Niek Hilkmann, Vulva, Rowan Van As, G. de Singer Songwriter and DJ Wanneer
-
Another musical night at Varia! Join us on November 16th for an evening full of singers, songwriters, noise and cardboard!
-
Niek Hilkmann en de Puls
-
"Your empty milk bottle", "Hey, that's strange ... 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.
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!
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!
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.

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)
-Date: Saturday 28th of September
-Time: 19:30h - 21:30h
-
-
Networks Of One’s Own is a para-nodal1 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 and documents the project 'Etherbox', a collaborative writing and documentation environment. 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.

About
-
Varia is a Rotterdam based initiative, which started in 2017 from the need to open up their members' practices and organise ad-hoc public or semi-public moments among different configurations; at its core it aims at developing critical understandings of the technologies that surround us. Varia experiments with tools for building physical and digital infrastructures in a collective way.
-
Our ways of being together as a collective-space are mediated through the following documents: our Code of Conduct which describes shared values and expected behaviour, a collective statement which contextualizes our situation, and membership guidelines where you can read about our membership model.

Varia's Code of Conduct
-
About this document
-
The code of conduct is a set of guidelines that help establish shared values and ensure that behaviour that may harm participants is avoided.
-
This document equally applies to Varia's members, visitors and contributors, including organizers of events in the space. The document also applies to users and contributors to Varia's on-line channels. When the word "we" is used in this document, it applies to all of the above.
-
We acknowledge that we come from different backgrounds and all have certain biases and privileges. Therefore, this Code of Conduct cannot account for all the ways that people might feel excluded, unsafe or uncomfortable. We commit to open dialogues, and as such this Code of Conduct is never finished and should change whenever needed. We amend this document over time so it reflects the priorities and sensitivities of Varia as it changes. It is a collective responsibility for all of us to enact the behaviour described in this document, and bring it to the physical and digital space of Varia.
-
Why a Code of Conduct?
-
Varia is a complex collective-space. We are a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary group. At Varia we mostly speak English and Dutch. We recognize that most members and visitors are not native speakers of these languages. We also recognize that there are multiple ways of speaking and interacting (words, gestures, acts, etc.), depending on cultural backgrounds, educations and practices. As such, we recognize that situations might arise where misunderstandings or conflicts happen. We strive to overcome these misunderstandings through a commitment to open dialogue: we prefer to assume good faith, and ask members, participants or visitors to express their concerns directly to each other when possible. When this is not an option, this Code of Coduct can be consulted for further actions.
-
Varia is a learning environment. It accommodates a whole range of practices. Working together means bridging gaps: between different practices, levels of technical expertise, personal preferences and political or ethical orientations. We strive to create an environment for participants with different ranges of experience, while allowing complex topics to be discussed.
-
We want Varia to be a space where all members can develop their practices in a collective setting and people feel safe and comfortable to participate, to express themselves, to learn and to work together. The vulnerable nature of collective work means that uncomfortable situations will occur. These situations ask for mutual respect and care. We hope that everyone participating in Varia is respectful, feels able to be vulnerable and exercises care. In the interest of making an inclusive environment, we will not tolerate harassment, exclusion or any other harmful behaviour.
-
Expected behaviour
-
We expect each other to ...
-
be considerate
-
of each other, the space we enter, the people at Varia and the practices it houses.
-
-
be open and generous
-
while trying not to make assumptions about others. This can include assumptions about identity, knowledge, experiences or preferred pronouns. Be generous with our time and our abilities, when we are able to. Help others, but ask first. There are many ways to contribute to a collective practice, which may differ from our individual ways.
-
-
be respectful
-
of different viewpoints and experiences. Respect physical and emotional boundaries. Be respectful of each others' limited time and energy. Take each other and each other's practices seriously. Acknowledge that this might lead to disagreement. However, disagreement is no excuse for poor manners.
-
-
be responsible
-
for the promises we make, meaning that we follow up on our commitments. We take responsibility for the good things we do, but also for the bad ones. We listen to and act upon respectful feedback. We correct ourselves when necessary, keeping in mind that the impact of our words and actions on other people doesn't always match our intent.
-
-
be dedicated
-
which means not letting the group happen to us, but making the group together. We participate in the group with self-respect and don't exhaust ourselves. This might mean saying how we feel, setting boundaries, being clear about our expectations. Nobody is expected to be perfect in this community. Asking questions early avoids problems later. Those who are asked should be responsive and helpful.
-
-
be empathetic,
-
by actively listening to others and not dominating discussions. We give each other the chance to improve and let each other step up into positions of responsibility. We make room for others. We are aware of each other's feelings, provide support where necessary, and know when to step back. One's idea of caring may differ from how others want to be cared for. We ask to make sure that our actions are wanted.
-
-
foster an inclusive environment
-
by trying to create opportunities for others to express views, share skills and make other contributions. Being together is something we actively work on and requires negotiation. We recognize that not everyone has the same opportunities, therefore we must be sensitive to the context we operate in. There are implicit hierarchies that we can challenge, and we should strive to do so. When we organize something (projects, events, etc.), we think about how we can consider degrees of privilege, account for the needs of others, promote an activist stance and support other voices.
-
-
Unacceptable behaviour
-
No structural or personal discrimination,
-
attitudes or comments promoting or reinforcing the oppression of any groups or people based on gender, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, sexual orientation, religion, disability, mental illness, neurodiversity, personal appearance, physical appearance, body size, age, or class. Do not claim “reverse-isms”, for example “reverse racism”.
-
-
No harrassment,
-
neither public nor private. Also no deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, disruption of events, aggressive, slanderous, derogatory, or threatening comments online or in person and unwanted physical or electronic contact or sexual attention. No posting or disseminating libel, slander, or other disinformation.
-
-
No violation of privacy,
-
namely publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission. Do not take or publish photos or recordings of others after their request to not do so. Delete recordings if asked.
-
-
No unwelcome sexual conduct,
-
including unwanted sexual language, imagery, actions, attention or advances.
-
-
No destructive behaviour,
-
or any other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate. This includes (but is not exclusive to) depictions of violence without content warnings, consistently and purposely derailing or disrupting conversations, or other behaviour that persistently disrupts the ability of others to engage in the group or space.
-
-
Intervention procedure
-
Immediate intervention (help is needed now!)
-
If you are feeling unsafe, you can immediately contact the Varia members who are tasked with making sure the code of conduct is respected. These contact people are members of Varia who will do their best to help, or to find the correct assistance if relevant/necessary.
For example, something happened during a still-ongoing event and needs to be acted upon right away. Action is taken immediately when this violation of the code of conduct is reported. This could involve removing an attendee from an event.
-
Non-immediate intervention (a situation that requires more time)
-
Other violations need to be considered and consulted upon with more people or in a more measured way. For example: If you experience an ongoing pattern of harrassment; if you witness structurally unacceptable behaviour; if somebody keeps "accidentally" using discriminatory language, after being asked to stop.
-
If you feel comfortable or able, discuss the issues with the involved parties before consulting a mediator. We prefer to constructively resolve disagreements together and work to right the wrong, when it is possible and safe to do so. However, if the problems still persist, those who are responsible for enforcing the code of conduct can help you deal with these kinds of problems. Contact the members listed above. Information will be handled with sensitivity.

Collective Infrastructures
-
Being considerate about the channels that we use to communicate, we negotiate our on-line dependencies by self-hosting our digital infrastructure. Varia members are involved in the use and development of federated networks like XMPP group chats and Mastodon instances, RSS feeds, available in Dutch and English, or the mailing list. Find more about our Online Hosting tools below.
-
Similarly, the space itself can host collective moments and has resources like an electronic parts depot, tools and workbenches, as well as printing facilities. Find more about our Physical Hosting below.
Varia likes to meet up and look at things together; we call these smaller formations work groups. There are often days on which interested parties gather to study, discuss or work on a specific subject. Depending on the work group, these can be open to the public.
As a way to share skills which we have among the group, varia members offer a curriculum, shaped and reshaped by the occupations and preoccupations of the members.
During open days, we offer various activities, including installing Linux operating systems, discussing free and open source design programmes and game sessions.
-
Physical Hosting
-
We are located at the corner between Gouwstraat and Wolphaertstraat in Charlois, Rotterdam. We use the space to organise and host events, but also other types of get-togethers. Fragments of what happens in the space are documented and stored in our budding archive. If the interests and concerns of the space seem to be in line with something you're working on, please feel free to contact us at info[@]varia.zone for details.
-
Varia Library
-
There is a modest physical library in the space, which can be consulted whenever the space is open.
-
Printing Facilities
-
Members have access to different printing tools:
-
-
Riso automatic A3
-
A0 roll inkjet plotter
-
A0 roll pen plotter
-
A4 greyscale laser printer
-
A4 dot matrix printer
-
-
Rotterdams Electronica 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.
-
Online Hosting
-
One of the core interests of varia is to relate to technology by installing or making it ourselves. We host multiple services on the Varia server. These are free to use, however, please keep in mind that the purpose of these tools is to experiment, they are possibly unstable.
-
XMPP
-
varia hosts a server for the federated chat protocol XMPP, supporting all the latest features.
-
-
-
-
Get in touch with us if you want to have an account on our server.
-
Etherpad
-
Etherpad is an open source collective writing space that the members use to collect thoughts, write messages together and keep each other informed.
-
Etherdump
-
We work with Etherdump to turn a collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. Etherdump is a command line tool that extends the multi writing and publishing functionalities of the etherpad by exporting the pads in multiple formats. To explore and investigate various collaborative publishing potentials of etherdump, we forked the project into etherpump.
-
Code repositories
-
As part of our practices, varia members write situated software that we make public on our gitea instance. This website, for example, is fully available to be copied and multiplied or studied and reimplemented.
-
License
-
Practices of copying, appropriation, piracy and sharing are messy in different ways: politically, legally, culturally and economically. We are in the process of (re)considering our license policy. Copyright is not always the answer, open licenses are also not always ideal. Opinions might vary in the group and different situations ask for different publishing conditions. All our content is therefore published under copyright at this moment, unless mentioned otherwise.

Collective statement
-
Varia is a collective-space1 in Rotterdam focused on everyday technologies.
-
We believe technology shouldn't be the exclusive domain of specialists. It affects everyone and should enable, rather than preclude, diverse ways of living. We understand everyday technology broadly; not just as computers, standards, or protocols, but also, for example, as cooking tools or musical instruments. Being involved in the fields of art, design, software & hardware, education and theoretical practices, we felt the need for a place where technology and social questions are linked; a place where collaboration, continuity, development, collective learning, curiosity and experiments are foregrounded.
-
Varia relates to preexisting formats such as hackerspaces, fab-labs and coworking spaces, but it recognizes their limits and actively tries to overcome them. Discussions about technology don't always address the power imbalance between multiple actors, such as large corporations and/or different kinds of users and developers, where class, race, gender and ability play a role. Within Varia, we try to make space for radically different ways of conceiving technology in its social context.
-
Among the questions we are concerned with are: How do we share knowledge and sustain our digital infrastructures while inter-depending on people or organisations? How can we think of inclusivity in relation to technology? Are old technologies really old-fashioned? How do we engage with obsolescence and sustainability?
-
Varia favours, without idealising, Free/Libre and Open Source Software (F/LOSS), free culture, open standards, lowtech and DIY/DIWO culture, because they offer the opportunity to shape a different present and leave the door open for desirable futures.
-
Varia is a collective-space for questions, opinions, interventions, help and action. For example, we facilitate server space, collective learning moments and thematic workgroups. Beside that, our space is used to regularly organize public events such as experimental musical encounters, worksessions and round table conversations with guests.
-
The collective cultural practice of Varia offers a solidary environment for the practices of the individual members, connecting disparate disciplines and areas of knowledge. This allows us to consider and develop different social and technological infrastructures, while experimenting with and reflecting on them.
-
As a group, we do not aim to develop one unified voice, but embrace and welcome the multiplicity that makes up Varia. We are aware that our practices and processes don't always lead to a finished product and for this reason we wish to experiment with different modes of engaging, as well as ways of making public.
-
Varia feels at home in Rotterdam and aims to connect to local independent initiatives and urgencies. We think it is important to connect issues in our local environment to global discussions and vice versa. Varia collaborates with individuals, collectives, non-profit organisations, educational institutions, associations and international networks, that are curious about situating the interdependent relation between technological and current social emergencies.
-
-
-
-
-
Varia is not merely a collective, nor merely a space. Varia is an interdependent concatenation of both. ↩

The curriculum is an ongoing series of workshops in which participants are introduced to technical, theoretical and methodological skills at the basis of the various practices that live within varia.
-
These are short intensive master-classes or workshops aimed towards providing high level introductions. Each subject in the varia curriculum has its own rhythm and structure. The workshops come with extensive syllabi and documentation that can be used as a reference for further explorations.
-
All curriculum workshops are offered for a fee which in goes towards sustaining varia's public research practices.

Membership guidelines
-
Members' rights and obligations
-
Varia is a member based organisation.
-
Members pay a monthly fee, but also contribute with their time and energy. They join the monthly member meetings and can become part of the board to focus on a series of specific responsibilities. Membership is based on mutual trust and solidarity: if once in a while a member can't contribute to Varia (financially or ortherwise) this doesn't lead to an immediate ban but to a conversation regarding possible solutions, as members are aware that lack of contribution is not sustainable in the long run.
-
Members take care of the space, of each other and of visitors (cfr. our Code of Conduct). They can also use the space and organize events, keeping in mind the collective ambitions of Varia and its surroundings.
-
Members are often contacted informally by external parties curious about Varia or willing to collaborate. We expect members to be transparent about the opportunities created through Varia, such as project commissions or invitations for a talk or a workshop. When a member generates income through Varia, 15% of it is invested into a (common fund* to support members' initiated activities: concerts, exchange trips, equipment purchases, etc.
-
Members have a key to the space. Varia is not a shared studio space, but members can work there. This means they cannot occupy the space with their belongings permanently and have the responsibility to clean after themselves. This is because the space is used for a variety of activities, ranging from screenings to meetings, and a lot more.
-
Who can be a member
-
Membership can be pursued by those interested in developing a collective approach to studying, modifying and experimenting with everyday technologies.
-
Current members have a background in art, design, software studies, musicology, choreography, cooking, theoretical and social practices. New members don't need to have similar backgrounds; what counts is that they are willing to bring their interests and expertise into Varia's collective practice.
-
Becoming a member
-

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.

During this evening we focus on the archiving of the Pushing Scores project by DE PLAYER; 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 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 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 (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.

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.

- RecycleReduceReuse and where is Repair Workshop (full)
-
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.
-
Varia curriculum
-
This workshop is organised in the context of the very first series of the Varia curriculum, developed in collaboration with the 3rd year minor "Hacking" of the Autonomous practices from the Willem de Kooning Academy (WdKA) in Rotterdam.
-
The curriculum is an ongoing series of workshops in which participants are introduced to technical, theoretical and methodological skills at the basis of the various practices that live within Varia. These are short intensive master-classes or workshops aimed towards providing high level introductions as a basis for further explorations.

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.

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.
-
Friday 7th June 20:00 - 22:00
-Relearn public evening program: embed yourself into Relearn
-
Saturday/Sunday 8-9th June 10:00 - 18:00
-Relearn sub-zone-trajectories
-
If you would like to join this Relearn session, please send an email to 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! :)

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

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) 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 for a legal way to buy the game).

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 …

During our third screening of Century 21 Calling, we will be taking a
-look at the development of satellite communications. From the shiny orbs
-of the 1950s to our present day SATCOM systems.
-
How do they work? How do they get into space? What happens when the
-systems break down? Why are there no more shiny orb satellites in space?
-
This and many more questions will put into the light of today, via the
-present.
-
Later in the evening you can join mmths on a trip through the radio
-spectrum, to listen to the satellite pirates in GEO Oribt and drown in
-the noise of the static and signals of ghost satellites.
-
mmths is a sound artist currently based in Rotterdam. In his practice,
-he often is fascinated by outer space activities. His current research
-deals with harvesting satellite transmissions and signal hunting as a
-tool for exploring live performance and composition.
-
In a series of screenings called “Century 21 Calling” we will have a
-look at archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports
-and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of
-tomorrow and we hold it up to the light of the present.

- Welcome to the � Federation - The Ecosystem is Moving
-
On the 1st and 2nd of June Varia will host 'The Ecosystem Is Moving', a lecture by and worksession with Daniel Gultsch about federated instant messaging, open source software and the sustainability of open systems.
-
-
June 1st, 19.00 - 22.00 - introduction to XMPP and lecture by Daniel Gultsch
-
June 2nd, 10.00 - 18.00 - hands on worksession on design and federated chat systems. Please register for the worksession via info * varia.zone
-
-
Daniel Gultsch is the developer behind Conversations, an open source instant messaging application for Android. In 2014, he decided to work full time on Conversations and try to make a living from it. Rather than starting from scratch with Conversations, he built it as a client for the existing federated messaging protocol XMPP.
-
Since an XMPP messenger can, in a way, only be as good as the entire ecosystem, Daniels work on Conversations also meant work on expanding and improving that larger XMPP ecosystem. This work includes helping to draft and implement protocol standards, such as OMEMO, a modern and user-friendly end-to-end encryption based on Signal's protocol. He also contributed code to other XMPP servers and clients in the ecosystem to bring them up to speed with modern uses. Additionally, through his critical essays he is a vocal defender of XMPP and open standards in general.
-
Conversations is notable because, through its continuous focus on user experience, design and security it has garnered a lot of interest for both itself and the XMPP ecosystem as a whole. This makes it an interesting example to talk about what the design field could potentially contribute to critical software practices.
-
-
Welcome to the � Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX).
-
The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: Welcome to the � Federation

This project is made possible with the support of Varia and CBK Rotterdam.

-
We traveled from home to home by bicycle, setting up homeservers. As friends and companions on this Infrastructour, we studied our routers over drinks served by our hosts. Where possible we installed our servers in our homes, in other cases we had to depend on another member of the group.
-
While self-hosting together we questioned our understandings of networks, autonomy, online publishing and social infrastructures, where each of us departed from a different question. We would like to share our personal (yet interconnected) routes with you, tell you a story, present our web- and printed zines, and invite you to explore our homebrewed network.

- Screening: The Secret Life Of Machines, season 2
-
Technology is everywhere, sometimes it hides its face underneath a mask of everydayness, but we can only guess what goes on in our vacuum cleaner, telephone or copy machine. When were these inventions introduced into our lives and how can we keep control over them? These questions, and many more, are answered by 'The Secret Life Of Machines'. In this cultseries from the BBC, which was produced between 1988 and 1993 engineer, cartoonist and writer Tim Hunkin and inventor Rex Garrod dissect the workings and history of a everyday appliance in each episode. During the next few weeks varia, center of everyday technology will screen the entire series during a couple of public screenings.

- Screening: The Secret Life Of Machines, season 3 (cancelled)
-
Technology is everywhere, sometimes it hides its face underneath a mask of everydayness, but we can only guess what goes on in our vacuum cleaner, telephone or copy machine. When were these inventions introduced into our lives and how can we keep control over them? These questions, and many more, are answered by 'The Secret Life Of Machines'. In this cultseries from the BBC, which was produced between 1988 and 1993 engineer, cartoonist and writer Tim Hunkin and inventor Rex Garrod dissect the workings and history of a everyday appliance in each episode. During the next few weeks varia, center of everyday technology will screen the entire series during a couple of public screenings.

- THE SOCIAL IN THE MEDIA: On Digital Interdependencies (Varia Visits ODD)
-
In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with ODD, a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:
-
-
One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.
-
The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.

-
We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.
-
After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.
-
Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.
-
We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.
-
Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the Welcome to the Federation project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.

-
An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing through leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "PUBLISH" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.
-
For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project Pushing Scores, developed by Cristina and Julie, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.

-
Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools. We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the Feminist Server Manifesto). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.

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!, 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!

Pitch, timbre, texture, volume, duration and form; These are the secret ingredients to most compositions. The question remains however; Is there also room for something extra? And what could that extra element be? Today we will focus on the concept of velocity by showcasing concerts by musicians working with both speed and movement in their compositions and performances!
-
The event is comprised of the following elements:
-
Bismuth is a two-man formation, made up of experimental instrument builder Yuri Landman and multi-instrumentalist Arnold van de Velde (ex-Feverdream). Together they play a space-filling amount of self-built instruments made of wood, steel, strings, motors and electronics. This colorful collection of instruments leads to a rhythmic amalgamation of experimental noise rock, dance and gamelan.
good cop / naughty cop make instant electronic compositions with self-programmed software and self-made controllers. They aim for a physical approach towards electronic music (and in particular realtime synthesis) by using objects such as bicycles, radios, FM transmitters and little solar cell synths in their performances. Their music – sometimes described as ‘improvised noise ambient’ – is influenced by the music and ideas of artists like John Cage, Tim Hecker, John Zorn and Captain Beefheart. Current members are composer/sound artist Sjoerd Leijten and ambient producer/pianist Patrick Bossink aka. Arpatle.
Jacco Weener is a performer, artist and theologist working between Charlois and Scheveningen. For the last 10 years he has performed continuously under various monikors (Gul Night Out, Het Open Hart, Moonflower Warrior, DJ La Dolce Vita) and in a variety of setups. At Maximum Velocity he will perform a dance inspired by the concept of meditative sufi whirling, practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order.
DJ Knapzak will display the hypnotic effect of rotating disks made out of vinyl at various speeds, coming into contact with a more or less stable needle. You might be surprised by the results!

When considering how to design a website for varia, our1 mutual but implicit understanding was not to just make a site. But rather that there was a potential for the process of site-making to become a process of exploring what a website can be. Exploring how one could do web publishing in a self-hosted2, minimal3, portable4, documented5, FLOSS6 and playfull7 way. In a way that connects to the multiplicity of practices that varia consists of. This text is the beginning of an attempt to make explicit and put to words some of the ideas and questions that drove this process. In the spirit of release early, release often we will publish a series of texts as we develop this site. Hopefully this can trigger questions on web design in the conceptual sense, not as a practice only involved with visual language, but as a practice considering on-line publishing ecosystems. One of the fundamental choices we made early on was to use a static site generator as our publishing tool, so we'll start by introducing the concepts of both 'static site' and 'generator'.
-
-The varia website unfolding over time.
-
Static site
-
Varia.zone is a static website. A static website is a 'traditional' website where all the content consists of HTML documents on the server's hard disk. In our case these are generated through Pelican8, which is a collection of Python9 scripts and plugins10 to turn unstyled plain text into HTML pages.
-
-Schematic overview of the main differences between a static and a dynamic website.
-
This way of working can be understood to be different to 'more modern' websites. These modern methods use server side programming languages that generate the website on the fly by querying a database. This means that every time someone visits the site, it gets generated on demand.
-
A static website instead gets generated once and exists as a set of documents. They are always there, not only when a visitor visits the page. Like the tree in the forest that also falls when nobody is there to hear it. Static websites are thus based on file storage whereas dynamic websites depend on recurrent computation. A website based on storage has some advantages for performance, security, portability and reproducibility that we will address in detail later in the series.
-
The static website is supportive to another idea we would like to push for: independent, self-hosted services. Since a static website requires less resources, one can do with a not-so-powerful, energy efficient server to host them. This opens up the possibility to (economically) serve the site directly from our space, which we currently do.
-
-The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed.
-
In general hosting a server from one's own space introduces some security concerns. These are however partly mitigated by a static site, because it doesn't use server side languages. That also means the web server doesn't become a liability in terms of exploitable plug-ins or databases like in popular systems such as Wordpress. Once it has been generated, it is very much a case of set and forget.
-
In essence the minimal file-based website is contrary to a cloud mentality, where the material circumstances of the hardware and hosting location are made irrelevant (for the cloud/vps customer) meaning that any 'service' can be 'deployed', 'scaled' 'migrated' etc. Our approach instead informs what can be hosted based on the material circumstances of the server. The choice to self-host this website is a start for us to think about what it means to base web design decisions on a specific situation in terms of hardware and hosting location.
-
Generator
-
The static HTML documents that together make the varia website are not manually written in the html language, but are generated out of a set 'plain text'11 documents. This generating aspect allows for multiple ways to engage with the texts and images that we publish. It is a promising way to think about possible transformations of plain text into not just web pages but different media altogether.
-
One of the needs for transformability comes from the fact that our website exists in a context where usage of the web has atrophied to the point where one is required to publish on or via social media in order to reach an audience at all. However, politically we are not interested in dedicated profiles on social media platforms for our organization. This is a clear decision driven by a strong desire to self-host and own our content, yet allowing to let that content be referred to comfortably within social media as well. The technique of the generator allows us to do this12.
-
Working with generative processes also triggers our interest and enthusiasm for exploring other publishing tools. One can imagine a single text or article morphing into widely different media such as calendar entries, RSS feeds, email newsletters, posters, etc. Each of these introducing their own potentials for playful aesthetics, reading experiences and publics. This is on the one hand interesting as a form of automation that reduces (or better: re-uses) work, but more importantly as a process which necessarily will introduce new 'forms' and aesthetics.
-
-This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language.
-
At the center this processes relies heavily on the habit of writing in markdown, a mark-up language that allows one to add styling information to plain text, so that it can be read by both people and a variety of tools. The markdown files can be archived using versioning tools13 or easily converted into different formats using generators. The content of the website, in its 'raw' form, can therefore be read by many other softwares across (historical) operating systems or included in other workflows, and thus stay open for potential reuse and long-term re-accesibility. Using this process makes it possible for our source files to remain simple, fluid and archivable.
-
Concluding
-
Revisiting static sites and taking all these small steps feels like going back in time. However, revisiting web-development basics in this sense becomes a vehicle for understanding the web of these days. To get a sense of the compound choices that have sedimented over time into 'web design' practices and that remain opaque when using ready made frameworks. Creating an on-line publishing work flow from ground up instead allows one to explore the potentials and challenge the conventions of what a website should be.

Varia works via different thematic work groups, one which is concerned with its website. We use the word 'group' here, which only works if you consider two people to be a group already. Current website work group members are Roel Roscam Abbing & Manetta Berends. ↩

-
-
Self-hosting culture as a way to speak about network infrastructures and preferences. This is also the main subject of the homebrewserver.club, a group for discussions, learning and reflection on the practice of hosting a server from home. ↩
-
-
-
Minimal not as in minimalism in design but rather understood as simple/low-tech/appropriate technologies, understood in (some) aspects of Minimal Computing. ↩
-
-
-
Portable in the sense that it allows for multiple transformations and media, generated by various tools and distributed to various contexts and publics. ↩
-
-
-
What does a documented process mean? For whom? Currently the varia website is translated into two different languages (dual NL/EN), but documenting can also refer to other types of languages like explanatory articles such as this one, to accompany a work-in-progress to enable further reading than rather just 'reading the code'. ↩
-
-
-
FLOSS, or Free Libre and Open Source Software, refers to free culture communities and the use of free licenses. ↩
-
-
-
The context of varia creates a playful space that enables us to experiment with different tools, modes of address and publishing work flows. ↩

Pelican is static site generator software written in Python, getpelican.com. ↩

Python is a commonly used object-oriented programming language, Python. ↩
"Plain text identifies a file format and a frame of mind. (...) [A] kind of a systematic minimalism when it comes to our use of computers, a minimalism that privileges access to source materials, ensuring legibility and comprehension." - A quote from: Plain Text, the poetics of Computation (2017), by Dennis Tenen - Stanford University Press ↩

For example by generating meta tags in our web page following Open Graph or Twitter Cards. These provide previews of one's page when a link is published on social media or in mobile apps. Right click on any page and view source to have a look. The OG headers are at the beginning in the <meta> tags. ↩
-
-
-
The source files of the varia website are stored in and tracked by a Git versioning system. You can access these files through this Gitea interface, where you can read the markdown documents and follow the changes that are being made. For example: this article can be found here. ↩

What Remains is a new darkly humorous 8-bit homebrew adventure video game for the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), and developed by Iodine Dynamics. The game is currently in final development and will be released for free in 2018. By free we mean a free of charge NES ROM download, and we will publish the source code and assets of the game and tools we used. A limited edition of physical cartridges for the NES and the Famicom, using recycled hardware, will be also be produced.

Solutions and problems in Extratonality 4
-“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.
-
This event is made possible by the kind support of the Institute of Extratonal Composition, WORM pirate bay, varia and nothing more.

Oplossingen en problemen in Extratonality 4
-"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.

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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-A strong community (check out <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <strong>Sensible World of Soccer 2020</strong>! 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>for a legal way to buy the game).</p>

-What does it mean for a server to be feminist, and how could it look like? What and who does it serve? What does it take to create and maintain it?<br>
-We would like to map and draw collectively our ideas and consider the possibility of setting up a feminist server at Varia, as a base for our practice.<br>
-We will bring material (like RPis and computers) to start experimenting and trying things out. <br>

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) <a href="http://www.irational.org/">irational.org</a>, but turned away from the Internet in 1998, seeing its corporate takeover as early as in that year. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The above is only a small fraction of his activities in working against control systems. <strong>Florian Cramer </strong>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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong>the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse</strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) and <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?</p>
-<p>‘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.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> and <em>Nathalie Berger</em> set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>The <strong>Feminist Hack Meetings</strong> are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation. We will also include hardware and sound explorations. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The idea started after participating in <strong>/ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.</p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organizes another round of their <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> at Varia on Monday the 25th of November. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.</p>
-<p>In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret <strong>Project Iceworm</strong>. During this edition of <strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> we will be screening the documentary <strong>Camp Century</strong>, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.</p>
-<p><strong>David Young</strong> is a researcher interested in archiving media technologies, the history of computing, and the discourses of defence research in the United States during the Cold War. He is currently a M3C/AHRC-funded doctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham; his PhD topic is an examination of the technological administration of command and control systems, the forms of disciplinary practices they depend on in order to operate, and the strategic rationalities which shape their development over time. He has a background in digital media art, and has collaborated with artists, designers, and scientists in the production of experimental, research-oriented artworks funded by the Arts Trust Scotland, New Scotland's Alt-W award, and Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> is a series of screenings initiated by the <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> collective and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam. Together, we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.</p>

-<p>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. <a href="https://silviolorusso.com/">Silvio Lorusso</a> 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.</p>

-<p>In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with <a href="https://www.oddweb.org/">ODD</a>, a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.</p>
-<p>The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.</p>
-</blockquote>

-<small>Attendants reading Constant's "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room" letter. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.</p>
-<p>After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.</p>
-<p>Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.</p>
-<p>We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.</p>
-<p>Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the <em>Welcome to the Federation</em> project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer." src="/images/the-social-in-the-media-02.jpg">
-<small>Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing <em>through</em> leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "<em>PUBLISH</em>" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.</p>
-<p>For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project <a href="http://pushingscores.deplayer.nl/">Pushing Scores</a>, developed by Cristina and Julie, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers." src="/images/varia_s2s_federation.svg">
-<small>Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers.</small></p>
-<p>Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools. We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the <a href="https://feministhacktivism.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/03/what-is-a-feminist-server/">Feminist Server Manifesto</a>). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.</p>Cristina, Julie, Manetta, Roel, SilvioMon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200tag:varia.zone,2019-10-21:/the-social-in-the-media-en.htmlarticlereportFloppy Totaal: Double Densityhttps://varia.zone/floppy-totaal-DD-en.html<p>Floppy Totaal visits Varia for another round of dual-layered action.

-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

We will celebrate this with an evening of stories and discussions around networks and maintenance practices.</p>
-<p><strong>Location</strong>: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>
-<strong>Date</strong>: Saturday 28th of September <br>
-<strong>Time</strong>: 19:30h - 21:30h</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="/images/nooo2.relearn2.jpg"></p>
-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is a para-nodal<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> 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. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is the second volume of this series.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>Three of these projects, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> and <em>Relearn</em>, 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.</p>
-<p>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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>homebrewserver.club</em>, a periodic gathering where people learn together and reflect on self-hosting digital content. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, a project centered on the development of local offline digital libraries for the distribution of electronic publications within small communities. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, a self-organised 'summer school' reflecting upon collective learning, that has as many teachers as it has participants. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>With this publication we hope to improve their resilience, portability, long-term sustainability and accessibility.</p>
-<p>The first issue in the series was initiated by <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> and documents the project 'Etherbox', a <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collaborative writing and documentation environment</a>. 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is the 13th edition of the <strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>We are very happy to announce that a second <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> by Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) will take place at Varia on Monday the 23rd of September. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

Kicking of the second half of 2019, we organize an event where three stirring acts will show their craft.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.</p>
-<p>During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.</p>
-<ul>
-<li>At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi. </li>
-<li>In addition participants will get an understanding of the ins and outs of managing collections of digital books. </li>
-<li>Last but not least, participants will take home a working Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute books!</li>

This subject zone can morph into multiple directions throughout the session. Our specific interest is in how <strong>publishing formats</strong> (••) operate with/on/through this zone.</p>
-<p>• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digital interdependencies</li>
-<li>affective infrastructures</li>
-<li>homebrew networks</li>
-<li>networked entanglements</li>
-<li>feminist servers</li>
-<li>federated networks</li>
-<li>and-and-networks</li>
-<li>digital autonomy</li>
-<li>transitional infrastructures</li>
-<li>digital selves-organisations</li>
-<li>so-and-sovereignty networks</li>
-<li>out-of-the-cloud thinking</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>•• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>multiple readers</li>
-<li>cross-readings created through algorithms</li>
-<li>logbooks</li>
-<li>syllabi</li>
-<li>documentation</li>
-<li>annotations</li>
-<li>cookbooks</li>

-<li>scores</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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 <em>daily vegetarian lunch</em> (please let us know about allergies or other dietary preferences). Following a tradition from previous years, we will arrange a <em>hosting network</em> 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.</p>

-<p>At the end of last year, <strong>De Player</strong> approached <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> and <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> will give a brief introduction to the tool, followed by <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> and <strong>Robert Kroos</strong>'s score interpretations. </p>
-<p>The performances will be ongoing throughout the night, you are welcome to join in at any moment.</p>
-<p>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group. </p>
-<p>This workshop is a moment for some out-of-the-cloud thinking. Departing from a discussion on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the digital infrastructures that shape our everyday cultural practices and online socialities. The workshop will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, to hosting cooperatives, free software philosophy and feminist understandings of the internet.</p>

-<p>We traveled from home to home by bicycle, setting up homeservers. As friends and companions on this Infrastructour, we studied our routers over drinks served by our hosts. Where possible we installed our servers in our homes, in other cases we had to depend on another member of the group. </p>
-<p>While self-hosting together we questioned our understandings of networks, autonomy, online publishing and social infrastructures, where each of us departed from a different question. We would like to share our personal (yet interconnected) routes with you, tell you a story, present our web- and printed zines, and invite you to explore our homebrewed network.</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Watt’s Cookin’ </strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Beachcombartband </strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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? </p>

-<p>Conversas is a series of bi-weekly informal meetings made so that we can get to know each other, share projects, stories or interests. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>The three Conversadores for the session at Varia are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Dutch Love Letters)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Nude models, postcolonialism and museums)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressions around a flag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>After a 3 month artist residency (State of the City, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

At the same time there has been a new platform, Mastodon, which has been gaining popularity in the way it seeks to address the sources of this unease. It looks and behaves like similar platforms, but under the hood it works substantially different ways. </p>
-<p>Rather than a single service, <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is part of a collection of community-owned independent services that interoperate with each other. This larger set of projects is also known as the Fediverse and is compromised of vastly different softwares, cultures and attitudes.</p>

What are the underlying concepts? Who made it? What has been the history behind it? What kind of different communities inhabit this Fediverse? What does it mean to host such a community?</p>
-<p>It will be hosted together by an administrator of a large Mastodon community and an administrator of a small Mastodon community. Both are also contributors to the fediverse. </p>

How does the translation of open source projects work? How are projects communicated? How can the technical concepts be made accessible for larger audiences without diluting their significance? </p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the � Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

The question remains however; Is there also room for something extra? And what could that extra element be? Today we will focus on the concept of velocity by showcasing concerts by musicians working with both speed and movement in their compositions and performances!</p>
-<p>The event is comprised of the following elements:</p>
-<p><strong>Bismuth</strong> is a two-man formation, made up of experimental instrument builder Yuri Landman and multi-instrumentalist Arnold van de Velde (ex-Feverdream). Together they play a space-filling amount of self-built instruments made of wood, steel, strings, motors and electronics. This colorful collection of instruments leads to a rhythmic amalgamation of experimental noise rock, dance and gamelan.</p>

-<p><strong>good cop / naughty cop</strong> make instant electronic compositions with self-programmed software and self-made controllers. They aim for a physical approach towards electronic music (and in particular realtime synthesis) by using objects such as bicycles, radios, FM transmitters and little solar cell synths in their performances. Their music – sometimes described as ‘improvised noise ambient’ – is influenced by the music and ideas of artists like John Cage, Tim Hecker, John Zorn and Captain Beefheart. Current members are composer/sound artist Sjoerd Leijten and ambient producer/pianist Patrick Bossink aka. Arpatle.</p>

For the last 10 years he has performed continuously under various monikors (Gul Night Out, Het Open Hart, Moonflower Warrior, DJ La Dolce Vita) and in a variety of setups. At Maximum Velocity he will perform a dance inspired by the concept of meditative sufi whirling, practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. </p>

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?</p>
-<p>To communicate the project to a larger audience DE PLAYER asked <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> is introducing her project Untitled Records; a performative sound installation weaving historical and emotional narratives through the “instrumentalisation” of a collection of records.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (part of Varia) will present his <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>

-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>What values construct our contemporary attitude towards waste? </li>
-<li>Is it perhaps an obsession with utility? </li>
-<li>What are the artistic merits of repair?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is part of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s fellowship program around the theme of ‘burn out’. As 2017 fellow Ramon Amaro states, <em>“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.”</em> </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is curated by Silvio Lorusso, and jointly organized by HNI’s Research Department and XPUB.</p>

Was the Commandlinehttps://varia.zone/curriculum-command-lines-en.html<h2 id="on-text-encodings-and-command-lines">On text, encodings and command lines.</h2>
-<p>The command line is a textual interface for the computer, rather than being an 'old fashioned' interface it is a completely different methodological approach to computing. Instead of large visual programs aimed at being 'professional tools', command line tools follow the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. These small programmes can be 'chained' together into pipelines capable of processing any type of data or text. These pipelines are a way of quickly producing unique and custom toolsets providing a wide range of creative opportunities.</p>
-<p>In this workshop we will focus on command line tools in relation to plain text. During the day we will dive into the social-cultural history of the command line interface, explore the materiality of plain text on a computer and discover a wide range of command line tools.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>

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).</p>

-<p>What Remains is a new darkly humorous 8-bit homebrew adventure video game for the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), and developed by Iodine Dynamics. The game is currently in final development and will be released for free in 2018. By free we mean a free of charge NES ROM download, and we will publish the source code and assets of the game and tools we used. A limited edition of physical cartridges for the NES and the Famicom, using recycled hardware, will be also be produced.</p>
-<p>During the development of the game Iodine Dynamics has worked with Het Nieuwe Instituut for preliminary research, and V2_ for hosting the early playtests.
-On June 22, Varia will host the last playtest for the game, and we are looking for players to come and give us feedback one last time!</p>

But rather that there was a potential for the process of site-making to become a process of exploring what a website can be. Exploring how one could do web publishing in a self-hosted<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:2">2</a></sup>, minimal<sup id="fnref:3"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:3">3</a></sup>, portable<sup id="fnref:4"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:4">4</a></sup>, documented<sup id="fnref:5"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:5">5</a></sup>, FLOSS<sup id="fnref:6"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6">6</a></sup> and playfull<sup id="fnref:6b"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6b">7</a></sup> way. In a way that connects to the multiplicity of practices that varia consists of. This text is the beginning of an attempt to make explicit and put to words some of the ideas and questions that drove this process. In the spirit of release early, release often we will publish a series of texts as we develop this site. Hopefully this can trigger questions on web design in the conceptual sense, not as a practice only involved with visual language, but as a practice considering on-line publishing ecosystems. One of the fundamental choices we made early on was to use a static site generator as our publishing tool, so we'll start by introducing the concepts of both 'static site' and 'generator'.</p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/varia_webhistory.gif">
-<small>The varia website unfolding over time.</small></p>
-<h2 id="static-site">Static site</h2>
-<p>Varia.zone is a <em>static</em> website. A static website is a 'traditional' website where all the content consists of HTML documents on the server's hard disk. In our case these are generated through Pelican<sup id="fnref:7"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:7">8</a></sup>, which is a collection of Python<sup id="fnref:8"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:8">9</a></sup> scripts and plugins<sup id="fnref:9"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:9">10</a></sup> to turn unstyled plain text into HTML pages. </p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/static-dynamic.svg">
-<small>Schematic overview of the main differences between a static and a dynamic website.</small></p>
-<p>This way of working can be understood to be different to 'more modern' websites. These modern methods use server side programming languages that generate the website on the fly by querying a database. This means that every time someone visits the site, it gets generated on demand. </p>
-<p>A static website instead gets generated once and exists as a set of documents. They are always there, not only when a visitor visits the page. Like the tree in the forest that also falls when nobody is there to hear it. Static websites are thus based on file storage whereas dynamic websites depend on recurrent computation. A website based on storage has some advantages for performance, security, portability and reproducibility that we will address in detail later in the series. </p>
-<p>The static website is supportive to another idea we would like to push for: independent, self-hosted services. Since a static website requires less resources, one can do with a not-so-powerful, energy efficient server to host them. This opens up the possibility to (economically) serve the site directly from our space, which we currently do. </p>
-<p><img alt="The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed." src="/images/varia.server.jpg">
-<small>The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed.</small></p>
-<p>In general hosting a server from one's own space introduces some security concerns. These are however partly mitigated by a static site, because it doesn't use server side languages. That also means the web server doesn't become a liability in terms of exploitable plug-ins or databases like in popular systems such as Wordpress. Once it has been generated, it is very much a case of set and forget.</p>
-<p>In essence the minimal file-based website is contrary to a cloud mentality, where the material circumstances of the hardware and hosting location are made irrelevant (for the cloud/vps customer) meaning that any 'service' can be 'deployed', 'scaled' 'migrated' etc. Our approach instead informs what can be hosted based on the material circumstances of the server. The choice to self-host this website is a start for us to think about what it means to base web design decisions on a specific situation in terms of hardware and hosting location. </p>
-<h2 id="generator">Generator</h2>
-<p>The static HTML documents that together make the varia website are not manually written in the html language, but are generated out of a set 'plain text'<sup id="fnref:10"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:10">11</a></sup> documents. This <em>generating</em> aspect allows for multiple ways to engage with the texts and images that we publish. It is a promising way to think about possible transformations of plain text into not just web pages but different media altogether. </p>
-<p>One of the needs for transformability comes from the fact that our website exists in a context where usage of the web has atrophied to the point where one is required to publish on or via social media in order to reach an audience at all. However, politically we are not interested in dedicated profiles on social media platforms for our organization. This is a clear decision driven by a strong desire to self-host and own our content, yet allowing to let that content be referred to comfortably within social media as well. The technique of the generator allows us to do this<sup id="fnref:11"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:11">12</a></sup>. </p>
-<p>Working with generative processes also triggers our interest and enthusiasm for exploring other publishing tools. One can imagine a single text or article morphing into widely different media such as calendar entries, RSS feeds, email newsletters, posters, etc. Each of these introducing their own potentials for playful aesthetics, reading experiences and publics. This is on the one hand interesting as a form of automation that reduces (or better: re-uses) work, but more importantly as a process which necessarily will introduce new 'forms' and aesthetics.</p>
-<p><img alt="This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language." src="/images/what-a-website-can-be.markdown.png">
-<small>This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language.</small></p>
-<p>At the center this processes relies heavily on the habit of writing in markdown, a mark-up language that allows one to add styling information to plain text, so that it can be read by both people and a variety of tools. The markdown files can be archived using versioning tools<sup id="fnref:12"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:12">13</a></sup> or easily converted into different formats using generators. The content of the website, in its 'raw' form, can therefore be read by many other softwares across (historical) operating systems or included in other workflows, and thus stay open for potential reuse and long-term re-accesibility. Using this process makes it possible for our source files to remain simple, fluid and archivable. </p>
-<h2 id="concluding">Concluding</h2>
-<p>Revisiting static sites and taking all these small steps feels like going back in time. However, revisiting web-development basics in this sense becomes a vehicle for understanding the web of these days. To get a sense of the compound choices that have sedimented over time into 'web design' practices and that remain opaque when using ready made frameworks. Creating an on-line publishing work flow from ground up instead allows one to explore the potentials and challenge the conventions of what a website should be. </p>

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.</p>

-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is the developer behind <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, an open source instant messaging application for Android. In 2014, he decided to work full time on Conversations and try to make a living from it. Rather than starting from scratch with Conversations, he built it as a client for the existing federated messaging protocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Since an XMPP messenger can, in a way, only be as good as the entire ecosystem, Daniels work on Conversations also meant work on expanding and improving that larger XMPP ecosystem. This work includes helping to draft and implement protocol standards, such as OMEMO, a modern and user-friendly end-to-end encryption based on Signal's protocol. He also contributed code to other XMPP servers and clients in the ecosystem to bring them up to speed with modern uses. Additionally, <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">through his critical essays</a> he is a vocal defender of XMPP and open standards in general.</p>
-<p>Conversations is notable because, through its continuous focus on user experience, design and security it has garnered a lot of interest for both itself and the XMPP ecosystem as a whole. This makes it an interesting example to talk about what the design field could potentially contribute to critical software practices.</p>

-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>

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?</p>
-<p>In a series of screenings called “Century 21 Calling”, an event started by the collective Save_as and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam, we will have a look at archival industrial films and corporate informercials/propaganda that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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 <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a>, 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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

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 <a href="https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html">"It Is As If You Were Doing Work"</a> by Pippin Barr and <a href="http://thefounder.biz/">"The Founder"</a> by Francis Tseng.</p>

-“Extratonality - Opening Doors Is Not Enough”</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Technology is everywhere, sometimes it hides its face underneath a mask of everydayness, but we can only guess what goes on in our vacuum cleaner, telephone or copy machine. When were these inventions introduced into our lives and how can we keep control over them? These questions, and many more, are answered by 'The Secret Life Of Machines'. In this cultseries from the BBC, which was produced between 1988 and 1993 engineer, cartoonist and writer Tim Hunkin and inventor Rex Garrod dissect the workings and history of a everyday appliance in each episode. During the next few weeks varia, center of everyday technology will screen the entire series during a couple of public screenings.</p>

According to him, insects are often wrongly condemned, but he can mediate between humans and insects as a sort of ambassador.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-Variahttps://varia.zone/Sat, 21 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0100Sensible World Of Soccer - Varia Cup 2020https://varia.zone/sensible-soccer.html<p>Wordt een 'goal scoring superstar hero' tijdens de <strong>Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020</strong>! 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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-Het komt mede door een sterke community (zie ook <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>waar het spel verkocht wordt).</p>

-<p><strong>VARIA CUP</strong>
-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!</p>

-<strong>19:00</strong> Prijsuitreiking<br>
-<strong>20:00/21:00</strong> Slot<br></p>
-<p><strong>entree:</strong> donatie</p>
-<p>Het aantal deelnemers is beperkt. Tussen 12:00 en 13:00 kan je je inschrijven, maar als je zeker wilt zijn van een plekje is het verstandig een e-mail te sturen naar: sebatosh@gmail.com. Vergeet niet de club op te schrijven waarmee je wilt gaan spelen. Doe je niet mee aan het toernooi? Er zullen computers aanwezig zijn om zelf een wedstrijd te spelen. Of kom de deelnemers aanmoedigen. De belangrijke wedstrijden krijgen live wedstrijdverslag van onze Braziliaanse commentator en daarnaast is er Amiga-muziek van <strong>DJ Newk</strong>!</p>

-<p>Laten we het over <strong>feministische servers</strong> hebben! In deze vergadering nodigen we u uit om te discussiëren over vragen als:<br>
-Wat betekent het voor een server om feministisch te zijn, en hoe zou het eruit kunnen zien? Wat en wie dient het? Wat is er nodig om het te creëren en te onderhouden?<br>
-We willen graag onze ideeën in kaart brengen en de mogelijkheid overwegen om een feministische server op te zetten bij Varia.<br>
-Wij brengen materiaal zoals RPis en computers mee. Dan kunnen we samen experimenteren en dingen uitproberen. <br>
-Doe met ons mee!<br></p>
-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops. Ze zijn gericht op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken op het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen.

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 <a href="http: //www.irational.org">irational.org</a> oprichtte (en de server runde), maar keerde zich in 1998 van het internet af toen hij diens bedrijfsovername daarvan voorzag.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Het bovenstaande is slechts een klein deel van zijn activiteiten en strijd tegen controlesystemen. <strong> Florian Cramer </strong> 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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong> the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse </strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

-<p>Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.</p>
-<p>Het tweede deel van het programma wordt verzorgd door Sam Kreuk, die zijn solo-project City Dragon zal presenteren.</p>
-<p><strong>Locatie:</strong> Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>
-<strong>Datum:</strong> Zaterdag, 8 Februari<br>
-<strong>Tijd:</strong> 17:30 - 21:30 <br>

-<p><strong>City Dragon</strong><br>
-City Dragon is het soloproject van <em>Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk</em>. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops. Verwacht de stem van een diva, power ballads, street trance, een verzameling aan afvalritmes, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's en nog veel meer!</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) en <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?</p>
-<p>‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> en <em>Nathalie Berger</em> gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.</p>
-<p>Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.</p>
-<p>Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.</p>
-<p>Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.</p>

-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops die gericht zijn op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken on het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen. </p>
-<p>Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich. </p>
-<p>Het idee begon na de deelname aan het <strong>ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.</p>
-<p>In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .</p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organiseert wederom een <em>huurdersspreekuur</em> en <em>meet and greet</em> bij Varia.</p>
-<p>Op maandag 25 november ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>
-<p>SoliGroetjes,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden. Gezien deze situatie leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden. Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.</em></p>
-<p><em>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 vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!</em></p>

-<strong>Locatie: Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam</strong></p>
-<p>Planning:</p>
-<p><strong>15:00-17:00 Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30-21:00: BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>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?</em></p>

Wees erbij op 16 november voor een evenement vol singers, songwriters, herrie en karton!</p>
-<p><b>Niek Hilkmann en de Puls</b></p>
-<p>“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.</p>

-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzD53OQZ5WE">Video</a></p>
-<p><b>Vulva</b></p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<p><b>Rowan van As</b></p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p><b>G. de Singer Songwriter</b></p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<p>Geen enkele muziekavond is compleet zonder goede DJ en daarom zijn we erg blij om DJ Wanneer op de line-up te hebben. Deze DJ combineert het beste van Scheveningen, Rotterdam en Zoeterwoude door een eclectische mix van kleine crooners, dissonante meidenbands en algehele hysterische muziek te draaien.</p>

Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.</p>
-<p>In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime <strong> Project Iceworm </strong>.Tijdens deze editie van <strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> zullen we de documentaire <strong> Camp Century </strong> bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.</p>
-<p><strong> David Young </strong> is een onderzoeker die geïnteresseerd is in het archiveren van mediatechnologieën, de geschiedenis van informatica en het discours van defensie-onderzoek in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Hij is momenteel een M3C / AHRC-gefinancierd doctoraatsonderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Nottingham; zijn doctoraatsthema is een onderzoek naar de technologische administratie van commando- en controlesystemen, de vormen van disciplinaire praktijken waarvan ze afhankelijk zijn om te opereren, en de strategische rationaliteiten die hun ontwikkeling in de loop van de tijd bepalen. Hij heeft een achtergrond in digitale mediakunst en heeft samengewerkt met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en wetenschappers bij de productie van experimentele, op onderzoek gerichte kunstwerken gefinancierd door de Arts Trust Scotland, de Alt-W Award van New Scotland en Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> is een initiatief van het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt georganiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de industriële archieffilms, infomercials, tv-rapporten en documentaires die in het verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd, en gebruiken deze om het heden te doorgronden.</p>

Nobody Is Safe. Mini Boekpresentatiehttps://varia.zone/Entrepecariat-Book-Launch.html<p>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. <a href="https://silviolorusso.com/">Silvio Lorusso</a> 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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<li>Floppy Kick Workshop</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

Om dit te vieren organiseren we een avond met verhalen en discussies over netwerken en onderhoudspraktijken.</p>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is een para-nodale<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een <em>release</em> van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks. </p>
-<p>In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid. </p>
-<p>Drie van deze projecten, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> en <em>Relearn</em>, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.</p>
-<p>Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>Homebrewserver.club</em>, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.</p>
-<p>De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving</a>. Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is de 13e editie van de <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.</p>
-<p>De <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.</p>
-<p>De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.</p>

-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><em>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!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.

De tweede helft van 2019 begint meteen goed; met drie opwindende acts die allen hun kunsten bij ons zullen tonen:</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>
-<p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE">https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE</a></p>
-<p>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.</p>

Wederom tonen we de industriële archieffilms, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen hebben gevormd en houden deze tegen het licht van vandaag.</p>
-<p>Op deze avond zullen we de documentaire "Crystal Go To War" uit 1943 vertonen. Gemaakt door U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, toont de film de processen die kwartskristallen moeten doorlopen voordat ze klaar zijn om in radio's en communicatieapparatuur te worden ingebracht.</p>
-<p>Kwartskristallen maken al tientallen jaren deel uit van het daglijks leven en vormen sinds de ontdekking van hun piëzo-elektrische eigenschappen in de jaren 1880 een belangrijk onderdeel van onze moderne technologie.</p>
-<p>Voorafgaand aan de screening zal er een korte introductie worden gegeven van het gebruik van kristallen in technologie. Een mooi begin van het tweede seizoen van Century 21 Calling!</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><em>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.
-</em>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.</p>
-<h1 id="varia-curriculum">Varia curriculum</h1>
-<p>Deze workshop maakt onderdeel uit van het Varia curriculum.</p>
-<p>Het curriculum is een doorlopende serie workshops waarbij deelnemers kennis maken met de technische, theoretische en methodologische vaardigheden die ten grondslag liggen aan de verschillende praktijken in Varia. De curriculum workshops zijn korte intensieve master-classes of workshops met als doel deelnemers te voorzien van grondige introducties in diverse themas die tengrondslag kunnen liggen aan verder eigen onderzoek. </p>

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 <strong>publicatie vormen</strong> (••) functioneren binnen/met deze zone. </p>
-<p>• 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 <em>zone</em> verder op te rekken, te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>
-<ul>

-<p>•• 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 <em>relearn</em> suggereert? Te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>

-<p>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 <em>vegetarische lunch</em> (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 <em>hosting netwerk</em> 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. </p>
-<p>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! :)</p>

-<p>Eind vorige jaar benaderde <strong>De Player</strong> <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om langs te komen op vrijdag 31 Mei in Varia. Waar <strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> en <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> de archiefpublicatie zullen introduceren. Daarna volgen er performances van <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Robert Kroos</strong> en <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong>.</p>
-<p>De uitvoeringen zullen de hele nacht doorgaan, je bent van harte welkom om op elk moment deel te nemen.</p>
-<p>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Tijdens "Century 21 Calling", een reeks screenings die is geïnitieerd door het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt gehost door Varia, bekijken we de industriële archieven, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen vormden en houden deze tegen het licht van het heden.</p>

-<p>Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke <em>homebrew</em> netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze <em>host</em> een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze <em>infrastructour</em> onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden. In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep. </p>
-<p>Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van <em>self-hosting</em> een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura en Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Watt's Cookin'</strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Beachcombartband </strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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?</p>

-<p>Conversas is een reeks van tweewekelijkse informele ontmoetingen om elkaar te leren kennen, projecten, verhalen of interesses te delen.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>De drie Conversadores voor de sessie bij Varia zijn dat wel:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Nederlandse liefdesbrieven)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Naakt modellen, postkolonialisme en musea)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressies rond een vlag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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.
-www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/liefdebrieven/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>Na een residentie van 3 maanden (Staat van de Stad, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), presenteert <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="www.conversas.net">Conversas</a> is een project geïnitieerd in Lissabon door Constança Saraiva en Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Tegenwoordig is het een project van veel mensen en steden.</p>

Tegelijkertijd is er een nieuw platform, Mastodon, dat aan populariteit wint door de manier waarop het de kern van dit ongemakkelijke gevoel probeert aan te pakken. Mastodon ziet er uit en gedraagt zich als soortgelijke platforms, maar achter de schermen functioneert het op en totaal andere manier. </p>
-<p><a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is geen eigen gesloten platform, maar maakt deel uit van een verzameling onafhankelijke platforms die met elkaar samenwerken. Deze grotere verzameling projecten wordt ook wel <em>de Fediverse</em> genoemd en bestaat uit een grote diversiteit van softwares, gemeenschappen, culturen en houdingen.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op de constatering van een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' online diensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presentaties en werksessies wordt er aandacht besteed aan de softwareprojecten die deel uit maken van deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die (op)nieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, door veel aandacht te besteden aan ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/"><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em></a> (engelstalig).</p>

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!</p>
-<p>Ditevenement bestaat uit de volgende elementen:</p>
-<p><strong>Bismuth</strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong>good cop / naughty cop</strong> 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.</p>

Dit initiatief over de hedendaagse betekenis van de 'grafische score' is de afgelopen 2-3 jaar door <strong><a href="https://www.deplayer.nl/">De Player</a></strong> uitgevoerd. Zij heeft aan <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> introduceert haar project 'Untitled Records'; een performatieve geluidsinstallatie die historische en emotionele vertellingen verweeft door middel van de 'instrumentalisatie' van een verzameling platen.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (onderdeel van Varia) presenteert zijn <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>
-<h2 id="over-pushing-scores">Over Pushing Scores</h2>
-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

Er is een eveneens groeiende vraag ontstaan voor het opnieuw gebruiken, repareren, verwijderen en bergen van dit materiaal, waarbij verschillende methoden worden toegepast die elk hun eigen impact hebben op de economie en het milieu. Hieruit vloeien enkele relevante vragen:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Welke waarden construeren onze hedendaagse houding tegenover afval?</li>
-<li>Is het misschien een obsessie met nuttigheid?</li>
-<li>Wat zijn de artistieke verdiensten van reparatie?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>In deze workshop, georganiseerd door Yoana Buzova en Niek Hilkmann, zullen we de implicaties van de recycling van (elektronisch) afval bekijken. Dit gebeurt in een praktische workshop waarin we plaatsen bezoeken waar 'afval' wordt verzameld om vervolgens het concept van reparatie en recyclage op zijn kop zet. Uitgaande van het idee dat nutteloosheid, net als een haiku-gedicht, een bepaald subversief potentieel bevat, zullen we een gebruiksvoorwerp reparen tot iets volkomen nutteloos.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Deze workshop duurt 8 uur en een laptop is noodzakelijk.</li>
-<li>Voorafgaande kennis van IPFS zou goed zijn, maar is niet verplicht. </li>

-<p>Life Hacks is onderdeel van het fellowship-programma van Het Nieuwe Instituut met het thema 'burn out'. Zoals verwoord door <em>fellow</em> Ramon Amaro:</p>
-<p><em>“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.”</em></p>
-<p><em>Life Hacks</em> 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.</p>

Was the Commandlinehttps://varia.zone/curriculum-command-lines.html<h2 id="over-tekst-encoderen-en-command-lines">Over tekst, encoderen en command lines.</h2>
-<p>De <em>command line</em> is een tekstuele interface voor de computer, niet zozeer een die 'ouderwets' is maar een die een geheel andere methodolgie van computergebruik mogelijk maakt. In tegenstelling tot grote software paketten die als 'professioneel' worden vermarkt , volgen <em>command line tools</em> de filosofie om één ding te doen en dat goed te doen. Deze kleine programma's kunnen samen worden 'gebonden' tot <em>pipelines</em> die elk type data of tekst kunnen verwerken. Deze <em>pipelines</em> zijn een manier om snel unieke en specifieke gereedschappen te produceren die een breed scala aan creatieve mogelijkheden bieden.</p>
-<p>In deze workshop zullen we ons concentreren op <em>command line tools</em> in relatie tot platte tekst (<em>plain text</em>). Gedurende de dag verkennen we de sociaal-culturele geschiedenis van de <em>command line interface</em>, onderzoeken we de materialiteit van tekst op een computer en proberen we een breed scala aan tools uit.</p>

-<p><strong> Zoontoon </strong> gebruikt een loopstation en een aangepast Casio SK-1-keyboard om te experimenteren met de eenvoud van elektronische trillingen. De trance van de natuur en de ritmes van oosterse muziek zijn hier de belangrijkste inspiratiebronnen. Zoontoon's uitvoeringen zitten vol met loops en deuntjes die je zullen laten dansen als Apollo!</p>

-<p><strong> M. Klein </strong> is ook wel bekend van zijn werk in bands als Sweat Tongue, Lewsberg en Eklin en het label De Hef. Geïnspireerd door Satie en Fauré besloot hij om een aantal minimalistische elektronische pianocomposities samen te stellen. Daarbij kunnen wij als toeschouwer genieten van zijn organische toetsenbordspel, misschien wel op zijn Yamaha PSS-170, en wie weet wat nog meer?</p>
-<p><strong> Listentomerijn </strong> is het pseudoniem van Merijn van Ham. Wat is er nog niet over hem gezegd? Deze gerenommeerde Rotterdamse DJ toont zijn talent bij Varia achter de toetsen en misschien ook enkele drumpads. Wat voor soort drumpads? Die van de Casio MT205FF natuurlijk!

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong> Evamuss (Peru / Nederland) </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><em>What Remains</em> is een gloednieuw, duister humoristisch computerspel voor de Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) uit 1985, ontwikkeld door Iodine Dynamics. De game is momenteel in haar laatste ontwikkelfase belandt en zal in 2018 vrij worden uitgebracht. Met 'vrij' bedoelen we een gratis NES ROM-download en we zullen de broncode en artworks van de game en tools die we hebben gebruikt publiceren. Tevens zal er een gelimiteerde oplage aan fysieke, NES en Famicom casettes van gerecyclede hardware worden geproduceerd.</p>
-<p>Tijdens de ontwikkeling van het spel heeft Iodine Dynamics in samenwerking met Het Nieuwe Instituut voorzonderzoek gedaan en bij V2_ de eerste playtests georganiseerd. Op 22 juni organiseert Varia de laatste playtest voor het spel en we zijn op zoek naar spelers die ons nog één keer feedback willen geven!</p>

Water is altijd in beweging en vindt altijd een weg. Historisch gezien nemen fonteinen als verzamelplaats van water en mensen een centrale plaats in binnen het stads- en dorpsleven. Vaak werden zij geplaatst ter herdenking van een grote veldslag, pestepidemie of andere historische gebeurtenis, geschonken door een veldheer of mecenas. Helaas bezit Charlois momenteel geen werkende fontein. Niek Hilkmann en Anne Kolbe willen dit gebrek verhelpen door Charlois tijdelijk een mobiele fontein te geven die niet gebonden is aan een vaste plek of duiding. Deze fontein zal op 2 juni om 13:00 bij Varia gepresenteerd worden en is vervolgens tijdens de weekenden van Charlois Speciaal te zien, op zoek naar nieuwe betekenis en waardering.</p>

-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is de ontwikkelaar achter <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, een open source instant messaging-applicatie voor Android. In 2014 besloot hij om voltijds te werken aan Conversations en daar ook van proberen te leven. In plaats van helemaal opnieuw met Conversations te beginnen, bouwde hij een nieuwe client voor het bestaande gefedereerde chatprotocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Omdat een XMPP-applicatie in feite maar net zo goed kan zijn als het hele ecosysteem waar het onderdeel van is, was er voor Daniel een noodzaak om naast zijn werk aan Conversations ook bij te dragen aan het uitbreiden en verbeteren van dat grotere XMPP-ecosysteem. Deze werkzaamheden omvatten het helpen opstellen en implementeren van protocolstandaarden. OMEMO, een moderne en gebruiksvriendelijke end-to-end encryptie op basis van het protocol van Signal is daar een voorbeeld van. Hij draagt ook code bij aan andere XMPP-servers en -clients in het ecosysteem om ze te helpen te moderniseren. Daarnaast is hij <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">via zijn kritische essays</a> een uitgesproken voorstander van XMPP en open standaarden in het algemeen.</p>
-<p>Conversations is een uitzonderlijk project, omdat het door de aanhoudende focus op gebruikerservaring, ontwerp en beveiliging veel belangstelling heeft vergaard voor zowel zichzelf als ook het XMPP-ecosysteem als geheel. Dit maakt het een interessant voorbeeld om vanuit te bevragen hoe het ontwerpveld zou kunnen bijdragen aan kritieke softwarepraktijken.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' onlinediensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presenaties en werksessies worden in de context van dit project verschillende evenementen georganiseerd rond softwareprojecten die werken aan deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die opnieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, deels door hun focus op ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren.

-<p>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.</p>

Dankzij de beloftes van technologie die ontstonden na de Tweede Wereldoorlog leek het alsof alles mogelijk was.

-<p>Algologs = een 1 dag + 1 dag dialoog rondom algoritmische werkwijzen. Dit evenement is een verlenging van Algolit, een werkgroep waar taal en algoritmes elkaar ontmoeten. Algologs maakt deel uit van een reeks ontmoetingen rondom de Algolit-bijeenkomsten (die normaal gesproken in Brussel plaatsvinden), om zo externe sprekers, presentatoren en deelnemers uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. Tijdens Algologs verhogen we het % betrokkenheid bij alledaagse algoritmes.</p>
-<p>Op vrijdagavond verkennen we een vermenigvuldiging van: Algoliteraire manieren om woorden te vertalen naar cijfers x infrapuncturele opluchtingen x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Om zo samen logs te maken van algoritmische standpunten, stemmen en werkwijzen.</p>
-<p>De presentaties op vrijdag worden gevolgd door een Algolit-sessie op zaterdag, waar we een collectieve duik zullen introduceren in de clusteringstechnieken van word-embeddings. Door stap voor stap naar een specifieke implementatie van word-embeddings te kijken, ontstaat een bron voor recepten voor kleine (op code of niet op code gebaseerde) experimenten.</p>
-<p>Oproep aan alle extra-amateurs, protoprofessionals en indirecte algologgers.</p>

-Algolit-sessie: van woorden naar cijfers via word-embeddings</p>
-<p>Deze sessie is een speciale editie en maakt deel uit van een langere tijdslijn van maandelijkse Algolit-bijeenkomsten georganiseerd door Constant in het WTC25 in Brussel. In 2018 koos Algolit er voor om haar sessies een meer open karakter te geven, zodat een spontane jump-in jump-out-deelname mogelijk is. Meer informatie en materiaal rond Algolit is te vinden op <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We beginnen de dag met het stapsgewijs doorlopen van het script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a> en langzaam naar zowel op code gebaseerde als niet-code gebaseerde experimenten te werken, afhankelijk van waar de deelnemers een voorkeur voor hebben. Deze werksessie is een moment om zelf en samen dingen uit te proberen.</p>
-<p>Opmerking voor deelnemers: het zou goed zijn om een laptop mee te nemen. Niet per se om met code of digitale hulpmiddelen te werken (we zijn grote fans van analoge experimenten!), maar vanuit de gewoonte om gezamenlijk aantekeningen te maken of te kijken naar referenties. Daarom is een laptop een fijne metgezel!</p>

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 <a href="https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html">"It Is As If You Were Doing Work"</a> van Pippin Barr en <a href="http://thefounder.biz/">"The Founder"</a> van Francis Tseng.</p>

-"Extratonaliteit - Het openen van deuren is niet genoeg"</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Op 16 december geeft hij een korte lezing over alles wat hem zoal bezig houdt. Daarbij serveren we een soep.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-Variahttps://varia.zone/Sat, 21 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0100Sensible World Of Soccer - Varia Cup 2020https://varia.zone/sensible-soccer.html<p>Wordt een 'goal scoring superstar hero' tijdens de <strong>Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020</strong>! 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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-Het komt mede door een sterke community (zie ook <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>waar het spel verkocht wordt).</p>

-<p><strong>VARIA CUP</strong>
-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!</p>

-<strong>19:00</strong> Prijsuitreiking<br>
-<strong>20:00/21:00</strong> Slot<br></p>
-<p><strong>entree:</strong> donatie</p>
-<p>Het aantal deelnemers is beperkt. Tussen 12:00 en 13:00 kan je je inschrijven, maar als je zeker wilt zijn van een plekje is het verstandig een e-mail te sturen naar: sebatosh@gmail.com. Vergeet niet de club op te schrijven waarmee je wilt gaan spelen. Doe je niet mee aan het toernooi? Er zullen computers aanwezig zijn om zelf een wedstrijd te spelen. Of kom de deelnemers aanmoedigen. De belangrijke wedstrijden krijgen live wedstrijdverslag van onze Braziliaanse commentator en daarnaast is er Amiga-muziek van <strong>DJ Newk</strong>!</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-A strong community (check out <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <strong>Sensible World of Soccer 2020</strong>! 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>for a legal way to buy the game).</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Radio-active female monstrosity - Angeliki D.
-</strong></p>
-<p>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. </p>

-</strong></p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops. Ze zijn gericht op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken op het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen.

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 <a href="http: //www.irational.org">irational.org</a> oprichtte (en de server runde), maar keerde zich in 1998 van het internet af toen hij diens bedrijfsovername daarvan voorzag.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Het bovenstaande is slechts een klein deel van zijn activiteiten en strijd tegen controlesystemen. <strong> Florian Cramer </strong> 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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong> the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse </strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

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) <a href="http://www.irational.org/">irational.org</a>, but turned away from the Internet in 1998, seeing its corporate takeover as early as in that year. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The above is only a small fraction of his activities in working against control systems. <strong>Florian Cramer </strong>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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong>the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse</strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

-<p>Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.</p>
-<p>Het tweede deel van het programma wordt verzorgd door Sam Kreuk, die zijn solo-project City Dragon zal presenteren.</p>

-<p><strong>City Dragon</strong><br>
-City Dragon is het soloproject van <em>Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk</em>. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops. Verwacht de stem van een diva, power ballads, street trance, een verzameling aan afvalritmes, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's en nog veel meer!</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) en <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?</p>
-<p>‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> en <em>Nathalie Berger</em> gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.</p>
-<p>Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.</p>
-<p>Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.</p>
-<p>Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.</p>

To further clarify and present these topics, Abel Heijkamp, one of the filmmakers responsible for "Alles Flex?" and member of Bondprecaire Woonvormen, has kindly agreed to be present for a Q&A and conversation.</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) and <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?</p>
-<p>‘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.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> and <em>Nathalie Berger</em> set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops die gericht zijn op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken on het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen. </p>
-<p>Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich. </p>
-<p>Het idee begon na de deelname aan het <strong>ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.</p>
-<p>In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .</p>

-<p>The <strong>Feminist Hack Meetings</strong> are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation. We will also include hardware and sound explorations. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The idea started after participating in <strong>/ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.</p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organiseert wederom een <em>huurdersspreekuur</em> en <em>meet and greet</em> bij Varia.</p>
-<p>Op maandag 25 november ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>
-<p>SoliGroetjes,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden. Gezien deze situatie leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden. Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.</em></p>
-<p><em>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 vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!</em></p>

-<p>Planning:</p>
-<p><strong>15:00-17:00 Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30-21:00: BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>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?</em></p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organizes another round of their <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> at Varia on Monday the 25th of November. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.</p>
-<p>In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime <strong> Project Iceworm </strong>.Tijdens deze editie van <strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> zullen we de documentaire <strong> Camp Century </strong> bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.</p>
-<p><strong> David Young </strong> is een onderzoeker die geïnteresseerd is in het archiveren van mediatechnologieën, de geschiedenis van informatica en het discours van defensie-onderzoek in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Hij is momenteel een M3C / AHRC-gefinancierd doctoraatsonderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Nottingham; zijn doctoraatsthema is een onderzoek naar de technologische administratie van commando- en controlesystemen, de vormen van disciplinaire praktijken waarvan ze afhankelijk zijn om te opereren, en de strategische rationaliteiten die hun ontwikkeling in de loop van de tijd bepalen. Hij heeft een achtergrond in digitale mediakunst en heeft samengewerkt met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en wetenschappers bij de productie van experimentele, op onderzoek gerichte kunstwerken gefinancierd door de Arts Trust Scotland, de Alt-W Award van New Scotland en Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> is een initiatief van het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt georganiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de industriële archieffilms, infomercials, tv-rapporten en documentaires die in het verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd, en gebruiken deze om het heden te doorgronden.</p>

However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.</p>
-<p>In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret <strong>Project Iceworm</strong>. During this edition of <strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> we will be screening the documentary <strong>Camp Century</strong>, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.</p>
-<p><strong>David Young</strong> is a researcher interested in archiving media technologies, the history of computing, and the discourses of defence research in the United States during the Cold War. He is currently a M3C/AHRC-funded doctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham; his PhD topic is an examination of the technological administration of command and control systems, the forms of disciplinary practices they depend on in order to operate, and the strategic rationalities which shape their development over time. He has a background in digital media art, and has collaborated with artists, designers, and scientists in the production of experimental, research-oriented artworks funded by the Arts Trust Scotland, New Scotland's Alt-W award, and Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> is a series of screenings initiated by the <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> collective and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam.

-<p>In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with <a href="https://www.oddweb.org/">ODD</a>, a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.</p>
-<p>The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.</p>
-</blockquote>

-<small>Attendants reading Constant's "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room" letter. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.</p>
-<p>After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.</p>
-<p>Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.</p>
-<p>We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.</p>
-<p>Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the <em>Welcome to the Federation</em> project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer." src="/images/the-social-in-the-media-02.jpg">
-<small>Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing <em>through</em> leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "<em>PUBLISH</em>" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.</p>
-<p>For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project <a href="http://pushingscores.deplayer.nl/">Pushing Scores</a>, developed by Cristina and Julie, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers." src="/images/varia_s2s_federation.svg">
-<small>Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers.</small></p>
-<p>Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools. We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the <a href="https://feministhacktivism.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/03/what-is-a-feminist-server/">Feminist Server Manifesto</a>). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.</p>Cristina, Julie, Manetta, Roel, SilvioMon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200tag:varia.zone,2019-10-21:/the-social-in-the-media-en.htmlarticlereportFloppy Totaal: Double Densityhttps://varia.zone/floppy-totaal-DD.html<p>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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-<li>Floppy Kick Workshop</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

Om dit te vieren organiseren we een avond met verhalen en discussies over netwerken en onderhoudspraktijken.</p>
-<p><strong>Locatie</strong>: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is een para-nodale<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een <em>release</em> van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks. </p>
-<p>In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid. </p>
-<p>Drie van deze projecten, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> en <em>Relearn</em>, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.</p>
-<p>Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>Homebrewserver.club</em>, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.</p>
-<p>De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving</a>. Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is de 13e editie van de <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.</p>
-<p>De <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.</p>
-<p>De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.</p>

We will celebrate this with an evening of stories and discussions around networks and maintenance practices.</p>
-<p><strong>Location</strong>: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>
-<strong>Date</strong>: Saturday 28th of September <br>
-<strong>Time</strong>: 19:30h - 21:30h</p>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is a para-nodal<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> 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. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is the second volume of this series.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>Three of these projects, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> and <em>Relearn</em>, 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.</p>
-<p>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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>homebrewserver.club</em>, a periodic gathering where people learn together and reflect on self-hosting digital content. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, a project centered on the development of local offline digital libraries for the distribution of electronic publications within small communities. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, a self-organised 'summer school' reflecting upon collective learning, that has as many teachers as it has participants. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>With this publication we hope to improve their resilience, portability, long-term sustainability and accessibility.</p>
-<p>The first issue in the series was initiated by <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> and documents the project 'Etherbox', a <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collaborative writing and documentation environment</a>. 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is the 13th edition of the <strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Op maandag 23 september ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>

-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><em>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!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We geven een korte presentatie over de activiteiten die de Bond Precaire Woonvormen heeft ondernomen om woonzekerheid op te eisen voor bewoners.

-<p>We are very happy to announce that a second <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> by Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) will take place at Varia on Monday the 23rd of September. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

De tweede helft van 2019 begint meteen goed; met drie opwindende acts die allen hun kunsten bij ons zullen tonen:</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>

-<p>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.</p>

Kicking of the second half of 2019, we organize an event where three stirring acts will show their craft.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>

-<p>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.</p>

Wederom tonen we de industriële archieffilms, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen hebben gevormd en houden deze tegen het licht van vandaag.</p>
-<p>Op deze avond zullen we de documentaire "Crystal Go To War" uit 1943 vertonen. Gemaakt door U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, toont de film de processen die kwartskristallen moeten doorlopen voordat ze klaar zijn om in radio's en communicatieapparatuur te worden ingebracht.</p>
-<p>Kwartskristallen maken al tientallen jaren deel uit van het daglijks leven en vormen sinds de ontdekking van hun piëzo-elektrische eigenschappen in de jaren 1880 een belangrijk onderdeel van onze moderne technologie.</p>
-<p>Voorafgaand aan de screening zal er een korte introductie worden gegeven van het gebruik van kristallen in technologie. Een mooi begin van het tweede seizoen van Century 21 Calling!</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><em>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.
-</em>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.</p>

-<p>Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.</p>
-<p>During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.</p>
-<ul>
-<li>At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi. </li>

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 <strong>publicatie vormen</strong> (••) functioneren binnen/met deze zone. </p>
-<p>• 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 <em>zone</em> verder op te rekken, te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digitale inter-afhankelijkheden</li>
-<li>affectieve infrastructuur</li>
-<li>homebrew netwerken</li>
-<li>genetwerkte knopen</li>
-<li>feministische servers</li>
-<li>gefedereerde netwerken</li>
-<li>en-en-netwerken</li>

-<li>so-en-soevereiniteits netwerken</li>
-<li>buiten-de-cloud denken</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>•• 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 <em>relearn</em> suggereert? Te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>

-<p>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 <em>vegetarische lunch</em> (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 <em>hosting netwerk</em> 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. </p>
-<p>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! :)</p>

This subject zone can morph into multiple directions throughout the session. Our specific interest is in how <strong>publishing formats</strong> (••) operate with/on/through this zone.</p>
-<p>• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digital interdependencies</li>
-<li>affective infrastructures</li>

-</ul>
-<p>•• 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:</p>

-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Eind vorige jaar benaderde <strong>De Player</strong> <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om langs te komen op vrijdag 31 Mei in Varia. Waar <strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> en <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> de archiefpublicatie zullen introduceren. Daarna volgen er performances van <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Robert Kroos</strong> en <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong>.</p>
-<p>De uitvoeringen zullen de hele nacht doorgaan, je bent van harte welkom om op elk moment deel te nemen.</p>
-<p>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

-<p>At the end of last year, <strong>De Player</strong> approached <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> and <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> will give a brief introduction to the tool, followed by <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> and <strong>Robert Kroos</strong>'s score interpretations. </p>
-<p>The performances will be ongoing throughout the night, you are welcome to join in at any moment.</p>
-<p>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Tijdens "Century 21 Calling", een reeks screenings die is geïnitieerd door het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt gehost door Varia, bekijken we de industriële archieven, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen vormden en houden deze tegen het licht van het heden.</p>

Where can your children play safely? These questions and many more will be addressed during this informative evening. </p>

For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group. </p>
-<p>This workshop is a moment for some out-of-the-cloud thinking. Departing from a discussion on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the digital infrastructures that shape our everyday cultural practices and online socialities. The workshop will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, to hosting cooperatives, free software philosophy and feminist understandings of the internet.</p>

-<p>Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke <em>homebrew</em> netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze <em>host</em> een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze <em>infrastructour</em> onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden. In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep. </p>
-<p>Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van <em>self-hosting</em> een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura en Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Watt's Cookin'</strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Beachcombartband </strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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?</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-
-<p><strong> Watt’s Cookin’ </strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> Beachcombartband </strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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? </p>

-<p>Conversas is een reeks van tweewekelijkse informele ontmoetingen om elkaar te leren kennen, projecten, verhalen of interesses te delen.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>De drie Conversadores voor de sessie bij Varia zijn dat wel:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Nederlandse liefdesbrieven)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Naakt modellen, postkolonialisme en musea)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressies rond een vlag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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.
-www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/liefdebrieven/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>Na een residentie van 3 maanden (Staat van de Stad, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), presenteert <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="www.conversas.net">Conversas</a> is een project geïnitieerd in Lissabon door Constança Saraiva en Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Tegenwoordig is het een project van veel mensen en steden.</p>

-<p>Conversas is a series of bi-weekly informal meetings made so that we can get to know each other, share projects, stories or interests. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>The three Conversadores for the session at Varia are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Dutch Love Letters)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Nude models, postcolonialism and museums)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressions around a flag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>

Tegelijkertijd is er een nieuw platform, Mastodon, dat aan populariteit wint door de manier waarop het de kern van dit ongemakkelijke gevoel probeert aan te pakken. Mastodon ziet er uit en gedraagt zich als soortgelijke platforms, maar achter de schermen functioneert het op en totaal andere manier. </p>
-<p><a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is geen eigen gesloten platform, maar maakt deel uit van een verzameling onafhankelijke platforms die met elkaar samenwerken. Deze grotere verzameling projecten wordt ook wel <em>de Fediverse</em> genoemd en bestaat uit een grote diversiteit van softwares, gemeenschappen, culturen en houdingen.</p>

Wat betekent het om een gemeenschap te hosten?</p>
-<p>De introductie en het rondetafelgesprek worden gefaciliteerd door een beheerder van een grote Mastodon gemeenschap en een beheerder van een kleine Mastodon gemeenschap. Beiden hebben ook bijgedragen aan het vertalen van Fediverse software. </p>

-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op de constatering van een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' online diensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presentaties en werksessies wordt er aandacht besteed aan de softwareprojecten die deel uit maken van deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die (op)nieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, door veel aandacht te besteden aan ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren.

At the same time there has been a new platform, Mastodon, which has been gaining popularity in the way it seeks to address the sources of this unease. It looks and behaves like similar platforms, but under the hood it works substantially different ways. </p>
-<p>Rather than a single service, <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is part of a collection of community-owned independent services that interoperate with each other. This larger set of projects is also known as the Fediverse and is compromised of vastly different softwares, cultures and attitudes.</p>

-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

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.

Dit initiatief over de hedendaagse betekenis van de 'grafische score' is de afgelopen 2-3 jaar door <strong><a href="https://www.deplayer.nl/">De Player</a></strong> uitgevoerd. Zij heeft aan <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> introduceert haar project 'Untitled Records'; een performatieve geluidsinstallatie die historische en emotionele vertellingen verweeft door middel van de 'instrumentalisatie' van een verzameling platen.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (onderdeel van Varia) presenteert zijn <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>
-<h2 id="over-pushing-scores">Over Pushing Scores</h2>
-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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?</p>
-<p>To communicate the project to a larger audience DE PLAYER asked <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> is introducing her project Untitled Records; a performative sound installation weaving historical and emotional narratives through the “instrumentalisation” of a collection of records.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (part of Varia) will present his <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>

-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

Er is een eveneens groeiende vraag ontstaan voor het opnieuw gebruiken, repareren, verwijderen en bergen van dit materiaal, waarbij verschillende methoden worden toegepast die elk hun eigen impact hebben op de economie en het milieu. Hieruit vloeien enkele relevante vragen:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Welke waarden construeren onze hedendaagse houding tegenover afval?</li>
-<li>Is het misschien een obsessie met nuttigheid?</li>
-<li>Wat zijn de artistieke verdiensten van reparatie?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>In deze workshop, georganiseerd door Yoana Buzova en Niek Hilkmann, zullen we de implicaties van de recycling van (elektronisch) afval bekijken. Dit gebeurt in een praktische workshop waarin we plaatsen bezoeken waar 'afval' wordt verzameld om vervolgens het concept van reparatie en recyclage op zijn kop zet. Uitgaande van het idee dat nutteloosheid, net als een haiku-gedicht, een bepaald subversief potentieel bevat, zullen we een gebruiksvoorwerp reparen tot iets volkomen nutteloos.</p>
-<h1 id="varia-curriculum">Varia curriculum<br></h1>
-<p>Deze workshop is georganiseerd in het kader van de allereerste reeks van het Varia-curriculum, ontwikkeld in samenwerking met de 3ejaars minor "Hacking" van 'Autonomous Practices' van de Willem de Kooning Academie (WdKA) in Rotterdam. </p>
-<p>Het curriculum is een doorlopende reeks workshops waarin deelnemers kennis maken met de technische, theoretische en methodologische vaardigheden die aan de basis staan van de verschillende praktijken die binnen <em>Varia</em> leven. Dit zijn korte intensieve masterclasses of workshops die erop gericht zijn op hoog niveau inleidingen te geven die kunnen dienen als basis voor verdere verkenningen.</p>

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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>What values construct our contemporary attitude towards waste? </li>
-<li>Is it perhaps an obsession with utility? </li>
-<li>What are the artistic merits of repair?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>
-<h1 id="varia-curriculum">Varia curriculum</h1>
-<p>This workshop is organised in the context of the very first series of the Varia curriculum, developed in collaboration with the 3rd year minor "Hacking" of the Autonomous practices from the Willem de Kooning Academy (WdKA) in Rotterdam. </p>
-<p>The curriculum is an ongoing series of workshops in which participants are introduced to technical, theoretical and methodological skills at the basis of the various practices that live within <em>Varia</em>. These are short intensive master-classes or workshops aimed towards providing high level introductions as a basis for further explorations.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Het curriculum is een doorlopende reeks workshops waarin deelnemers kennis maken met de technische, theoretische en methodologische vaardigheden die aan de basis staan van de verschillende praktijken die binnen Varia leven.

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

Hoe kunnen we voorbij gaan aan <em>co-working</em> als model voor ruimtes voor samenwerking? Wat zijn de territoriale en politieke functies van meubels in de context van de kunststudio-aan-huis? Werken <em>lifehacks</em> bevrijdend of zijn ze een extra last?</p>
-<p>Samen met auteur en vormgever <a href="https://www.francoisgm.com/">François Girard-Meunier</a>, het <a href="https://worknot.info/">WORKNOT! collectief</a> (Arvand Pourabbasi and Golnar Abbasi), <a href="https://varia.zone">Varia</a> (vertegenwoordigd door Manetta Berends, Niek Hilkmann, Roel Roscam Abbing) en <a href="http://xpub.nl">XPUB</a> gaan we deze en meer vragen aan tijdens een avond gewijd aan ruimtes die zowel ondernemend als precair zijn.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is onderdeel van het fellowship-programma van Het Nieuwe Instituut met het thema 'burn out'. Zoals verwoord door <em>fellow</em> Ramon Amaro:</p>
-<p><em>“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.”</em></p>
-<p><em>Life Hacks</em> 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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is part of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s fellowship program around the theme of ‘burn out’. As 2017 fellow Ramon Amaro states, <em>“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.”</em> </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is curated by Silvio Lorusso, and jointly organized by HNI’s Research Department and XPUB.</p>

-<p>De <em>command line</em> is een tekstuele interface voor de computer, niet zozeer een die 'ouderwets' is maar een die een geheel andere methodolgie van computergebruik mogelijk maakt. In tegenstelling tot grote software paketten die als 'professioneel' worden vermarkt , volgen <em>command line tools</em> de filosofie om één ding te doen en dat goed te doen. Deze kleine programma's kunnen samen worden 'gebonden' tot <em>pipelines</em> die elk type data of tekst kunnen verwerken. Deze <em>pipelines</em> zijn een manier om snel unieke en specifieke gereedschappen te produceren die een breed scala aan creatieve mogelijkheden bieden.</p>
-<p>In deze workshop zullen we ons concentreren op <em>command line tools</em> in relatie tot platte tekst (<em>plain text</em>). Gedurende de dag verkennen we de sociaal-culturele geschiedenis van de <em>command line interface</em>, onderzoeken we de materialiteit van tekst op een computer en proberen we een breed scala aan tools uit.</p>

-<p>The command line is a textual interface for the computer, rather than being an 'old fashioned' interface it is a completely different methodological approach to computing. Instead of large visual programs aimed at being 'professional tools', command line tools follow the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. These small programmes can be 'chained' together into pipelines capable of processing any type of data or text. These pipelines are a way of quickly producing unique and custom toolsets providing a wide range of creative opportunities.</p>
-<p>In this workshop we will focus on command line tools in relation to plain text. During the day we will dive into the social-cultural history of the command line interface, explore the materiality of plain text on a computer and discover a wide range of command line tools.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong> Evamuss (Peru / Nederland) </strong> 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.</p>

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).</p>

But rather that there was a potential for the process of site-making to become a process of exploring what a website can be. Exploring how one could do web publishing in a self-hosted<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:2">2</a></sup>, minimal<sup id="fnref:3"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:3">3</a></sup>, portable<sup id="fnref:4"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:4">4</a></sup>, documented<sup id="fnref:5"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:5">5</a></sup>, FLOSS<sup id="fnref:6"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6">6</a></sup> and playfull<sup id="fnref:6b"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6b">7</a></sup> way. In a way that connects to the multiplicity of practices that varia consists of. This text is the beginning of an attempt to make explicit and put to words some of the ideas and questions that drove this process. In the spirit of release early, release often we will publish a series of texts as we develop this site. Hopefully this can trigger questions on web design in the conceptual sense, not as a practice only involved with visual language, but as a practice considering on-line publishing ecosystems. One of the fundamental choices we made early on was to use a static site generator as our publishing tool, so we'll start by introducing the concepts of both 'static site' and 'generator'.</p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/varia_webhistory.gif">
-<small>The varia website unfolding over time.</small></p>
-<h2 id="static-site">Static site</h2>
-<p>Varia.zone is a <em>static</em> website. A static website is a 'traditional' website where all the content consists of HTML documents on the server's hard disk. In our case these are generated through Pelican<sup id="fnref:7"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:7">8</a></sup>, which is a collection of Python<sup id="fnref:8"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:8">9</a></sup> scripts and plugins<sup id="fnref:9"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:9">10</a></sup> to turn unstyled plain text into HTML pages. </p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/static-dynamic.svg">
-<small>Schematic overview of the main differences between a static and a dynamic website.</small></p>
-<p>This way of working can be understood to be different to 'more modern' websites. These modern methods use server side programming languages that generate the website on the fly by querying a database. This means that every time someone visits the site, it gets generated on demand. </p>
-<p>A static website instead gets generated once and exists as a set of documents. They are always there, not only when a visitor visits the page. Like the tree in the forest that also falls when nobody is there to hear it. Static websites are thus based on file storage whereas dynamic websites depend on recurrent computation. A website based on storage has some advantages for performance, security, portability and reproducibility that we will address in detail later in the series. </p>
-<p>The static website is supportive to another idea we would like to push for: independent, self-hosted services. Since a static website requires less resources, one can do with a not-so-powerful, energy efficient server to host them. This opens up the possibility to (economically) serve the site directly from our space, which we currently do. </p>

-<p>In general hosting a server from one's own space introduces some security concerns. These are however partly mitigated by a static site, because it doesn't use server side languages. That also means the web server doesn't become a liability in terms of exploitable plug-ins or databases like in popular systems such as Wordpress. Once it has been generated, it is very much a case of set and forget.</p>
-<p>In essence the minimal file-based website is contrary to a cloud mentality, where the material circumstances of the hardware and hosting location are made irrelevant (for the cloud/vps customer) meaning that any 'service' can be 'deployed', 'scaled' 'migrated' etc. Our approach instead informs what can be hosted based on the material circumstances of the server. The choice to self-host this website is a start for us to think about what it means to base web design decisions on a specific situation in terms of hardware and hosting location. </p>
-<h2 id="generator">Generator</h2>
-<p>The static HTML documents that together make the varia website are not manually written in the html language, but are generated out of a set 'plain text'<sup id="fnref:10"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:10">11</a></sup> documents. This <em>generating</em> aspect allows for multiple ways to engage with the texts and images that we publish. It is a promising way to think about possible transformations of plain text into not just web pages but different media altogether. </p>
-<p>One of the needs for transformability comes from the fact that our website exists in a context where usage of the web has atrophied to the point where one is required to publish on or via social media in order to reach an audience at all. However, politically we are not interested in dedicated profiles on social media platforms for our organization. This is a clear decision driven by a strong desire to self-host and own our content, yet allowing to let that content be referred to comfortably within social media as well. The technique of the generator allows us to do this<sup id="fnref:11"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:11">12</a></sup>. </p>
-<p>Working with generative processes also triggers our interest and enthusiasm for exploring other publishing tools. One can imagine a single text or article morphing into widely different media such as calendar entries, RSS feeds, email newsletters, posters, etc. Each of these introducing their own potentials for playful aesthetics, reading experiences and publics. This is on the one hand interesting as a form of automation that reduces (or better: re-uses) work, but more importantly as a process which necessarily will introduce new 'forms' and aesthetics.</p>

-<small>This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language.</small></p>
-<p>At the center this processes relies heavily on the habit of writing in markdown, a mark-up language that allows one to add styling information to plain text, so that it can be read by both people and a variety of tools. The markdown files can be archived using versioning tools<sup id="fnref:12"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:12">13</a></sup> or easily converted into different formats using generators. The content of the website, in its 'raw' form, can therefore be read by many other softwares across (historical) operating systems or included in other workflows, and thus stay open for potential reuse and long-term re-accesibility. Using this process makes it possible for our source files to remain simple, fluid and archivable. </p>
-<h2 id="concluding">Concluding</h2>
-<p>Revisiting static sites and taking all these small steps feels like going back in time. However, revisiting web-development basics in this sense becomes a vehicle for understanding the web of these days. To get a sense of the compound choices that have sedimented over time into 'web design' practices and that remain opaque when using ready made frameworks. Creating an on-line publishing work flow from ground up instead allows one to explore the potentials and challenge the conventions of what a website should be. </p>

Water is altijd in beweging en vindt altijd een weg. Historisch gezien nemen fonteinen als verzamelplaats van water en mensen een centrale plaats in binnen het stads- en dorpsleven. Vaak werden zij geplaatst ter herdenking van een grote veldslag, pestepidemie of andere historische gebeurtenis, geschonken door een veldheer of mecenas. Helaas bezit Charlois momenteel geen werkende fontein. Niek Hilkmann en Anne Kolbe willen dit gebrek verhelpen door Charlois tijdelijk een mobiele fontein te geven die niet gebonden is aan een vaste plek of duiding. Deze fontein zal op 2 juni om 13:00 bij Varia gepresenteerd worden en is vervolgens tijdens de weekenden van Charlois Speciaal te zien, op zoek naar nieuwe betekenis en waardering.</p>

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.</p>

-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is de ontwikkelaar achter <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, een open source instant messaging-applicatie voor Android. In 2014 besloot hij om voltijds te werken aan Conversations en daar ook van proberen te leven. In plaats van helemaal opnieuw met Conversations te beginnen, bouwde hij een nieuwe client voor het bestaande gefedereerde chatprotocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Omdat een XMPP-applicatie in feite maar net zo goed kan zijn als het hele ecosysteem waar het onderdeel van is, was er voor Daniel een noodzaak om naast zijn werk aan Conversations ook bij te dragen aan het uitbreiden en verbeteren van dat grotere XMPP-ecosysteem. Deze werkzaamheden omvatten het helpen opstellen en implementeren van protocolstandaarden. OMEMO, een moderne en gebruiksvriendelijke end-to-end encryptie op basis van het protocol van Signal is daar een voorbeeld van. Hij draagt ook code bij aan andere XMPP-servers en -clients in het ecosysteem om ze te helpen te moderniseren. Daarnaast is hij <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">via zijn kritische essays</a> een uitgesproken voorstander van XMPP en open standaarden in het algemeen.</p>
-<p>Conversations is een uitzonderlijk project, omdat het door de aanhoudende focus op gebruikerservaring, ontwerp en beveiliging veel belangstelling heeft vergaard voor zowel zichzelf als ook het XMPP-ecosysteem als geheel. Dit maakt het een interessant voorbeeld om vanuit te bevragen hoe het ontwerpveld zou kunnen bijdragen aan kritieke softwarepraktijken.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' onlinediensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presenaties en werksessies worden in de context van dit project verschillende evenementen georganiseerd rond softwareprojecten die werken aan deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die opnieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, deels door hun focus op ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/"><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em></a>(engelstalig).</p>

-<p>Daniel Gultsch is the developer behind <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, an open source instant messaging application for Android. In 2014, he decided to work full time on Conversations and try to make a living from it. Rather than starting from scratch with Conversations, he built it as a client for the existing federated messaging protocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Since an XMPP messenger can, in a way, only be as good as the entire ecosystem, Daniels work on Conversations also meant work on expanding and improving that larger XMPP ecosystem. This work includes helping to draft and implement protocol standards, such as OMEMO, a modern and user-friendly end-to-end encryption based on Signal's protocol. He also contributed code to other XMPP servers and clients in the ecosystem to bring them up to speed with modern uses. Additionally, <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">through his critical essays</a> he is a vocal defender of XMPP and open standards in general.</p>
-<p>Conversations is notable because, through its continuous focus on user experience, design and security it has garnered a lot of interest for both itself and the XMPP ecosystem as a whole. This makes it an interesting example to talk about what the design field could potentially contribute to critical software practices.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the � Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

-<li>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'.</li>

-<p>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.</p>

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?</p>
-<p>In een reeks screenings "Century 21 Calling", geïnitieerd door Save_as en gehost door Varia in Rotterdam, zullen we kijken naar industriële archieven en bedrijfs informercials/propaganda die het voorstellingsvermorgen van morgen hebben vormgegeven en het vol hebben gehouden tot aan de dag van vandaag.</p>

-<p>Algologs = een 1 dag + 1 dag dialoog rondom algoritmische werkwijzen. Dit evenement is een verlenging van Algolit, een werkgroep waar taal en algoritmes elkaar ontmoeten. Algologs maakt deel uit van een reeks ontmoetingen rondom de Algolit-bijeenkomsten (die normaal gesproken in Brussel plaatsvinden), om zo externe sprekers, presentatoren en deelnemers uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. Tijdens Algologs verhogen we het % betrokkenheid bij alledaagse algoritmes.</p>
-<p>Op vrijdagavond verkennen we een vermenigvuldiging van: Algoliteraire manieren om woorden te vertalen naar cijfers x infrapuncturele opluchtingen x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Om zo samen logs te maken van algoritmische standpunten, stemmen en werkwijzen.</p>
-<p>De presentaties op vrijdag worden gevolgd door een Algolit-sessie op zaterdag, waar we een collectieve duik zullen introduceren in de clusteringstechnieken van word-embeddings. Door stap voor stap naar een specifieke implementatie van word-embeddings te kijken, ontstaat een bron voor recepten voor kleine (op code of niet op code gebaseerde) experimenten.</p>

-<p>Deze sessie is een speciale editie en maakt deel uit van een langere tijdslijn van maandelijkse Algolit-bijeenkomsten georganiseerd door Constant in het WTC25 in Brussel. In 2018 koos Algolit er voor om haar sessies een meer open karakter te geven, zodat een spontane jump-in jump-out-deelname mogelijk is. Meer informatie en materiaal rond Algolit is te vinden op <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We beginnen de dag met het stapsgewijs doorlopen van het script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a> en langzaam naar zowel op code gebaseerde als niet-code gebaseerde experimenten te werken, afhankelijk van waar de deelnemers een voorkeur voor hebben. Deze werksessie is een moment om zelf en samen dingen uit te proberen.</p>
-<p>Opmerking voor deelnemers: het zou goed zijn om een laptop mee te nemen. Niet per se om met code of digitale hulpmiddelen te werken (we zijn grote fans van analoge experimenten!), maar vanuit de gewoonte om gezamenlijk aantekeningen te maken of te kijken naar referenties. Daarom is een laptop een fijne metgezel!</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

This work session is a moment to try things out yourself.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

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 <a href="https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html">"It Is As If You Were Doing Work"</a> by Pippin Barr and <a href="http://thefounder.biz/">"The Founder"</a> by Francis Tseng.</p>

-"Extratonaliteit - Het openen van deuren is niet genoeg"</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-“Extratonality - Opening Doors Is Not Enough”</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Op 16 december geeft hij een korte lezing over alles wat hem zoal bezig houdt. Daarbij serveren we een soep.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

Let's talk about feminist servers! In this meeting, we invite you to discuss questions like:
-What does it mean for a server to be feminist, and how could it look like? What and who does it serve? What does it take to create and maintain it?
-We would like to map and draw collectively our ideas and consider the possibility of setting up a feminist server at Varia, as a base for our practice.
-We will bring material (like RPis and computers) to start experimenting and trying things out.
-Join us!

The Feminist Hack Meetings are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation. We will also include hardware and sound explorations.

Laten we het over feministische servers hebben! In deze vergadering nodigen we u uit om te discussiëren over vragen als:
-Wat betekent het voor een server om feministisch te zijn, en hoe zou het eruit kunnen zien? Wat en wie dient het? Wat is er nodig om het te creëren en te onderhouden?
-We willen graag onze ideeën in kaart brengen en de mogelijkheid overwegen om een feministische server op te zetten bij Varia.
-Wij brengen materiaal zoals RPis en computers mee. Dan kunnen we samen experimenteren en dingen uitproberen.
-Doe met ons mee!

De Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops. Ze zijn gericht op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken op het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen.

-
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.
-
In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.

Artemis en Angeliki nodigen u graag uit om deel te nemen aan de Feministische Hack Meetings.
-
De Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops die gericht zijn op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken on het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen.
-
Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich.
-
Het idee begon na de deelname aan het ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival) in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.
-
In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .

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.
Mark Windisch aka. Eoforwine is the founder of the Floppy Kick label and plays beatless lo-fi noise music, spiced with modified field recordings, synths and a light theremin. He is a regular participant of Eastern Hungary's noise events, including the annual Zajkert (Noise Garden) and the Banzaj series, and has toured through and played at many experimental festivals and gallery openings through Middle-Europe and Ireland.
Tamás Szántó is a DJ, producer, cratedigger and promotor who is dedicated to seeking strange soundings and musical forms with peculiar diligence. He harkens the musical topicalities; not to adapt, but to avoid them. Collecting records such as experimental noise mixes, or fine theatrical idm ones; he might as well have just the right, harsh & obscure
-acid vinyl to mix further with.
Joseph Oliver Anton Knierzinger or JoaK is an artist and ghost artist. At the moment he works on different algorithms and alogisms between Vienna, Guangzhou and Wartberg. At Floppy Totaal he will present the results of his explorations into the recordable magnetic properties of the floppy disk.
Michael Ridge is a UK based artist that creates works whichoften incorporate sound, video, electronics, sculpture, collage and found objects, often exploring the properties of sound reproduction through non-musical materials and objects. He has a keen interest in documenting and presenting the unwanted, overlooked or decayed. Some of his activities include recording and performing Noise Music under the alias Zebra Mu, running the DIY record label Quagga Curious Sounds, being one half of the drawing/zine/mail art duo Ridge & Scrase and being a member of the artist collective other/other/other. For Floppy Totaal Michael Ridge will compose a new sound art composition that draws inspiration from the works of John Cage and Alvin Lucier; whilst examining the physical and storage limitations of the humble floppy disk. A commemoration of extreme file compression!
Jason Scott Sadofsky is an American archivist, historian of technology, filmmaker, performer, and actor. Scott has been known by the online pseudonyms Sketch, SketchCow, and The Slipped Disk and has been called "figurehead of the digital archiving world". He is the creator, owner and maintainer of textfiles.com, a web site which archives files from historic bulletin board systems. He is the creator of a 2005 documentary film about BBSes, BBS: The Documentary, and a 2010 documentary film about interactive fiction, GET LAMP. During Floppy Totaal a long distance conversation will be held with Jason Scott about his work, his life and the current state of the floppy disk.
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.

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!

- Heath Bunting - in conversation with 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, 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 in Rotterdam.

- Heath Bunting - in gesprek met the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse
-
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 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 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.

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.

A few months have passed since the 11th issue of the Pervasive Labour Union zine 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" by Pippin Barr and "The Founder" by 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.

WORKNOT! (NL/IR) is a Rotterdam-based independent open collective that works to create a platform for the representation of the life and work of today’s cognitarians. It works with seemingly banal, yet extreme (and political) conditions that shape our today’s contemporary forms of living and working. The collective consists of Arvand Pourabbasi and Golnar Abbasi, researchers/designers/makers with a background in architecture and art. Since its foundation in Tehran (2012), it has worked in a variety of context through a broad range of collaborations, and has created workshops, exhibitions, performances, images, writings, lectures and publications. https://worknot.info/

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, het WORKNOT! collectief (Arvand Pourabbasi and Golnar Abbasi), Varia (vertegenwoordigd door Manetta Berends, Niek Hilkmann, Roel Roscam Abbing) en XPUB 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.

- Welcome to the � Federation - Mastodon and The Fediverse
-
In recent years there has been a lot of dissatisfaction about social media. At the same time there has been a new platform, Mastodon, which has been gaining popularity in the way it seeks to address the sources of this unease. It looks and behaves like similar platforms, but under the hood it works substantially different ways.
-
Rather than a single service, Mastodon is part of a collection of community-owned independent services that interoperate with each other. This larger set of projects is also known as the Fediverse and is compromised of vastly different softwares, cultures and attitudes.

A general introduction into Mastodon and the Fediverse
-Saturday 8 December 2018
-20:00h - 21:30h
-
On the Saturday 8th of December Wtt�F will host an evening roundtable as a general introduction into Mastodon and the Fediverse. How does it work? What are the underlying concepts? Who made it? What has been the history behind it? What kind of different communities inhabit this Fediverse? What does it mean to host such a community?
-
It will be hosted together by an administrator of a large Mastodon community and an administrator of a small Mastodon community. Both are also contributors to the fediverse.

Welcome to the � Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX).
-
The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: Welcome to the � Federation

- Welcome to the � Federation - Mastodon en de Fediverse
-
De laatste jaren is er veel discussie en ontevredenheid over sociale media. Tegelijkertijd is er een nieuw platform, Mastodon, dat aan populariteit wint door de manier waarop het de kern van dit ongemakkelijke gevoel probeert aan te pakken. Mastodon ziet er uit en gedraagt zich als soortgelijke platforms, maar achter de schermen functioneert het op en totaal andere manier.
-
Mastodon is geen eigen gesloten platform, maar maakt deel uit van een verzameling onafhankelijke platforms die met elkaar samenwerken. Deze grotere verzameling projecten wordt ook wel de Fediverse genoemd en bestaat uit een grote diversiteit van softwares, gemeenschappen, culturen en houdingen.

-20:00u - 21:30u
-
Op zaterdag 8 december zal Wtt�F een rond-de-tafel gesprek organiseren als algemene introductie over Mastodon en de Fediverse. Hoe werkt het? Wat zijn de onderliggende concepten? Wie heeft het gemaakt? Wat is de geschiedenis erachter? Wat voor soort verschillende gemeenschappen leven er in dit ecosysteem? Wat betekent het om een gemeenschap te hosten?
-
De introductie en het rondetafelgesprek worden gefaciliteerd door een beheerder van een grote Mastodon gemeenschap en een beheerder van een kleine Mastodon gemeenschap. Beiden hebben ook bijgedragen aan het vertalen van Fediverse software.

Welcome to the Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is gebaseerd op de constatering van een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' online diensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presentaties en werksessies wordt er aandacht besteed aan de softwareprojecten die deel uit maken van deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die (op)nieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, door veel aandacht te besteden aan ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).
-
De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: Welcome to the � Federation (engelstalig).

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.

Lang voordat er mensen in Charlois waren, was er al water. Water is altijd in beweging en vindt altijd een weg. Historisch gezien nemen fonteinen als verzamelplaats van water en mensen een centrale plaats in binnen het stads- en dorpsleven. Vaak werden zij geplaatst ter herdenking van een grote veldslag, pestepidemie of andere historische gebeurtenis, geschonken door een veldheer of mecenas. Helaas bezit Charlois momenteel geen werkende fontein. Niek Hilkmann en Anne Kolbe willen dit gebrek verhelpen door Charlois tijdelijk een mobiele fontein te geven die niet gebonden is aan een vaste plek of duiding. Deze fontein zal op 2 juni om 13:00 bij Varia gepresenteerd worden en is vervolgens tijdens de weekenden van Charlois Speciaal te zien, op zoek naar nieuwe betekenis en waardering.

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.

-
Another musical night at Varia! Join us on November 16th for an evening full of singers, songwriters, noise and cardboard!
-
Niek Hilkmann en de Puls
-
"Your empty milk bottle", "Hey, that's strange ... 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.
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!
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!
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!
-
Niek Hilkmann en de Puls
-
“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.
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!
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.
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!
Geen enkele muziekavond is compleet zonder goede DJ en daarom zijn we erg blij om DJ Wanneer op de line-up te hebben. Deze DJ combineert het beste van Scheveningen, Rotterdam en Zoeterwoude door een eclectische mix van kleine crooners, dissonante meidenbands en algehele hysterische muziek te draaien.

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)
-Date: Saturday 28th of September
-Time: 19:30h - 21:30h
-
-
Networks Of One’s Own is a para-nodal1 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 and documents the project 'Etherbox', a collaborative writing and documentation environment. 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.

Op 28 september lanceert Varia de tweede editie van Networks of One's Own: Three takes on taking care en Fed Up!, de 13e editie van de Pervasive Labour Union zine. Om dit te vieren organiseren we een avond met verhalen en discussies over netwerken en onderhoudspraktijken.
Networks Of One’s Own is een para-nodale1 periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een release van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. Three takes on taking care is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks.
-
In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid.
-
Drie van deze projecten, homebrewserver.club, Bibliotecha en Relearn, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.
-
Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:
-
-
Homebrewserver.club, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (http://homebrewserver.club)
-
Bibliotecha, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (http://bibliotecha.info)
-
Relearn, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (http://relearn.be/)
-
-
Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.
-
De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door Constant en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving. Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.
Fed Up! is de 13e editie van de Pervasive Labour Union en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.
-
De Pervasive Labour Union zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.
-
De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.

Mede dankzij de gretigheid waarmee Donald Trump Groenland wou kopen, staat dit eiland opnieuw in de schijnwerpers. Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.

In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime Project Iceworm .Tijdens deze editie van Century 21 Calling zullen we de documentaire Camp Century bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.

David Young is een onderzoeker die geïnteresseerd is in het archiveren van mediatechnologieën, de geschiedenis van informatica en het discours van defensie-onderzoek in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Hij is momenteel een M3C / AHRC-gefinancierd doctoraatsonderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Nottingham; zijn doctoraatsthema is een onderzoek naar de technologische administratie van commando- en controlesystemen, de vormen van disciplinaire praktijken waarvan ze afhankelijk zijn om te opereren, en de strategische rationaliteiten die hun ontwikkeling in de loop van de tijd bepalen. Hij heeft een achtergrond in digitale mediakunst en heeft samengewerkt met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en wetenschappers bij de productie van experimentele, op onderzoek gerichte kunstwerken gefinancierd door de Arts Trust Scotland, de Alt-W Award van New Scotland en Creative Scotland.

Century 21 Calling is een initiatief van het collectief Save_as en wordt georganiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de industriële archieffilms, infomercials, tv-rapporten en documentaires die in het verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd, en gebruiken deze om het heden te doorgronden.

Op deze avond zullen we de documentaire "Crystal Go To War" uit 1943 vertonen. Gemaakt door U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, toont de film de processen die kwartskristallen moeten doorlopen voordat ze klaar zijn om in radio's en communicatieapparatuur te worden ingebracht.
-
Kwartskristallen maken al tientallen jaren deel uit van het daglijks leven en vormen sinds de ontdekking van hun piëzo-elektrische eigenschappen in de jaren 1880 een belangrijk onderdeel van onze moderne technologie.
-
Voorafgaand aan de screening zal er een korte introductie worden gegeven van het gebruik van kristallen in technologie. Een mooi begin van het tweede seizoen van Century 21 Calling!

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 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.

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.

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.

- Entreprecariat: Everyone Is an Entrepreneur. Nobody Is Safe. Mini Boekpresentatie
-
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 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.

Erik Debny is een van de verborgen parels van België. Op een tijdreis uit de jaren zestig transformeert deze man in zijn eentje, of samen met zijn band the Shovels, het universum van muziek zoals we dat kennen tot een reis naar de grenzen van het sonische geloof. Hij zal nummers van 'Spaced Out In Outer Space' uit 2016 en zijn gloednieuwe album 'Beat The System' spelen.
Wojtek Szustak is een inventieve componist uit Krakau die met en rond ruimteafval werkt. Ter voorbereiding op 'Infinite Outwardness' zal hij een synthesizer-rommelworkshop geven in Charlois, waarbij hij nieuwe elektronische instrumenten zal maken van oude spullen die hij op straat vindt. De resultaten worden tijdens het evenement gepresenteerd.

Niek Hilkmann is een componist die een amateur avant-gardistisch orkest leidde, een honderd meter lang bewegend panorama creëerde, het Universal Notation Ideal (UNI)-systeem construeerde en evenementen organiseerde zoals "Will VHS Save The Universe?" en "Floppy Totaal". Tijdens 'Infinite Outwardness' toont hij het puin van zijn meer recente projecten 'Galaxico, kerst tussen de sterren' en 'The International Space Disenchantment Research Association'.
Joshua Thies is een Rotterdamse kunstenaar die voornamelijk op het gebied van geluid werkt als een startpunt voor nieuwe projecten. Hij presenteert een sonische verkenning van kosmologische verschijnselen en neemt ons mee naar de ruimte via Google's kolonisatie van virtuele ruimte. Digitale en / of virtuele mapping van de aarde, het claimen van territorium via mapping en het bekijken van de aarde vanuit een baan zijn het onderwerp geweest van zijn recente werk.
Squirrel, Arrow, Bee and Fly is de naam van het internationale onderzoeksteam dat u Toilettronic heeft geleverd; een stressvrije toiletervaring in de ruimte. Het is een gamified toiletnavigatiesysteem voor ruimtehabitats. Tijdens 'Infinite Outwardness' presenteert het team een muzikaal vervolg op dit project.
DJ Cosmos404 en DJ Naam zijn bekende namen in de wereldwijde ruimte-DJ-scene. In mei zullen ze samenwerken om muziek uit de vierde dimensie te brengen die je geest naar een ander niveau zal verplaatsen.

- Concert: Matheus Silva and Theo Krantz Album Release
-
Theo Krantz is een Amerikaanse kunstenaar die momenteel in New Mexico woont. Hij speelt gitaar en zingt in de sentimentele grunge-band Dog Park en levert een bijdrage aan verschillende samenwerkingsprojecten via zijn indie-label Cry Like Donna. Onlangs bracht hij zijn meest experimentele soloalbum uit, Wednesday Two, dat ambient-synthesizerwerk combineert met tape-geluiden en de menselijke stem.
Matheus Silva is een elektronische kunstenaar, afkomstig uit Brazilië. Na een begin als muzikant in de hardcore punkscene van Florida in 2011, stapte hij over op het produceren van elektronische muziek als soloartiest. Vanuit een eclectische muzikale achtergrond haalt hij inspiratie uit verschillende muziekgenres, zoals ambient, drone en hiphop, om een uniek geluid te produceren.

Algologs = een 1 dag + 1 dag dialoog rondom algoritmische werkwijzen. Dit evenement is een verlenging van Algolit, een werkgroep waar taal en algoritmes elkaar ontmoeten. Algologs maakt deel uit van een reeks ontmoetingen rondom de Algolit-bijeenkomsten (die normaal gesproken in Brussel plaatsvinden), om zo externe sprekers, presentatoren en deelnemers uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. Tijdens Algologs verhogen we het % betrokkenheid bij alledaagse algoritmes.
-
Op vrijdagavond verkennen we een vermenigvuldiging van: Algoliteraire manieren om woorden te vertalen naar cijfers x infrapuncturele opluchtingen x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Om zo samen logs te maken van algoritmische standpunten, stemmen en werkwijzen.
-
De presentaties op vrijdag worden gevolgd door een Algolit-sessie op zaterdag, waar we een collectieve duik zullen introduceren in de clusteringstechnieken van word-embeddings. Door stap voor stap naar een specifieke implementatie van word-embeddings te kijken, ontstaat een bron voor recepten voor kleine (op code of niet op code gebaseerde) experimenten.
-
Oproep aan alle extra-amateurs, protoprofessionals en indirecte algologgers.

-
Algolit is een in Brussel gevestigde groep kunstenaars, ontwerpers, programmeurs en activisten die eenmaal per maand samenkomen om tekst & code experimenten te schrijven.

-Algolit-sessie: van woorden naar cijfers via word-embeddings
-
Deze sessie is een speciale editie en maakt deel uit van een langere tijdslijn van maandelijkse Algolit-bijeenkomsten georganiseerd door Constant in het WTC25 in Brussel. In 2018 koos Algolit er voor om haar sessies een meer open karakter te geven, zodat een spontane jump-in jump-out-deelname mogelijk is. Meer informatie en materiaal rond Algolit is te vinden op algolit.net.
-
We beginnen de dag met het stapsgewijs doorlopen van het script word2vec_basic.py en langzaam naar zowel op code gebaseerde als niet-code gebaseerde experimenten te werken, afhankelijk van waar de deelnemers een voorkeur voor hebben. Deze werksessie is een moment om zelf en samen dingen uit te proberen.
-
Opmerking voor deelnemers: het zou goed zijn om een laptop mee te nemen. Niet per se om met code of digitale hulpmiddelen te werken (we zijn grote fans van analoge experimenten!), maar vanuit de gewoonte om gezamenlijk aantekeningen te maken of te kijken naar referenties. Daarom is een laptop een fijne metgezel!
-

Varia nodigt je uit voor een avond vol documentaires, muziek en goede gesprekken!
-
Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.
-
Het tweede deel van het programma wordt verzorgd door Sam Kreuk, die zijn solo-project City Dragon zal presenteren.
City Dragon
-City Dragon is het soloproject van Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops. Verwacht de stem van een diva, power ballads, street trance, een verzameling aan afvalritmes, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's en nog veel meer!
Alles Flex?
-In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers Abel Heijkamp (NL) en Julij Borštnik (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?
-
‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.
-
Call me Intern
-Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers David Leo Hyde en Nathalie Berger gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.
-
Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.
-
Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.

Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.

In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden.

Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.
-
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 vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!

Datum: Maandag 25 November 2019

- BPW Rotterdam Huurdersspreekuur + Meet and greet
-
We zijn erg blij om aan te mogen kondigen dat een tweede huurdersspreekuur en meet and greet van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) bij Varia plaats zal vinden.
-
Op maandag 23 september ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.
-
De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.

SoliGroetjes,

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?

Ter ere van alle casio's, yamaha's en andere home keyboards wereldwijd organiseert Varia een exclusief evenement met de naam 'The Key To Casio (en Yamaha Too)'. Op 12 oktober zullen we de prachtige dingen erkennen die deze instrumenten de mensheid hebben gebracht; van Casio's Rapman tot Trio's Dadada!
-
Het evenement bestaat uit de volgende elementen:
-
Dion & The Magic Chords is het liefdeskind van casio-freaks Dion Woestenburg en Griffin Stuip en klinkt als het mechaniche speeldoosje van je favoriete progressieve acts, zoals Jean Michelle Jarre en Yes. Met behulp van eleverende beelden en een wilde samenstelling van casio's en yamahama's brengen ze je geest naar het volgende bewustzijnsniveau.
Zoontoon gebruikt een loopstation en een aangepast Casio SK-1-keyboard om te experimenteren met de eenvoud van elektronische trillingen. De trance van de natuur en de ritmes van oosterse muziek zijn hier de belangrijkste inspiratiebronnen. Zoontoon's uitvoeringen zitten vol met loops en deuntjes die je zullen laten dansen als Apollo!

M. Klein is ook wel bekend van zijn werk in bands als Sweat Tongue, Lewsberg en Eklin en het label De Hef. Geïnspireerd door Satie en Fauré besloot hij om een aantal minimalistische elektronische pianocomposities samen te stellen. Daarbij kunnen wij als toeschouwer genieten van zijn organische toetsenbordspel, misschien wel op zijn Yamaha PSS-170, en wie weet wat nog meer?
-
Listentomerijn is het pseudoniem van Merijn van Ham. Wat is er nog niet over hem gezegd? Deze gerenommeerde Rotterdamse DJ toont zijn talent bij Varia achter de toetsen en misschien ook enkele drumpads. Wat voor soort drumpads? Die van de Casio MT205FF natuurlijk! Zou je iets minder verwachten?
-
Casio Show And Tell ; Tussen de bedrijven door zal er een reeks toetsenbordpresentaties te zien zijn die de vele vormen en afmetingen die deze wonderlijke instrumenten door de loop der jaren hebben gehad, demonstreert.

Eens werd ons allemaal een betere toekomst beloofd met robots, nucleair gedreven auto's en opblaasbare plastic huizen.

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?

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.

Considerate Cake Confection is een initiatief van Lídia Pereira en Niek Hilkmann.

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. DLL 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.
-www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/liefdebrieven/
-
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 Ludovic 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 Conversas Rotterdam 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.
-
Conversas is een project geïnitieerd in Lissabon door Constança Saraiva en Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Tegenwoordig is het een project van veel mensen en steden.
-
Evenementen zijn voor iedereen toegankelijk en de toegang is gratis.

- Concert: Crimson Butterfly, Evamuss en St. Fractalium
-
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.
St. Fractalium (Rusland) St.Fractalium is een audiovisueel duo uit Nizhniy Novgorod, Rusland; bewoners van de plaatselijke cultusplaats Black Ho. Geïnspireerd door bands als Autechre en Coil, en met indrukwekkende ervaring in verschillende muzikale projecten, brengen de jongens het licht van Saint Fractalium, een verhelderende nectar voor degenen die de conventionele muziek beu zijn, alles met behulp van computers en controllers.

-
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.
-

De command line is een tekstuele interface voor de computer, niet zozeer een die 'ouderwets' is maar een die een geheel andere methodolgie van computergebruik mogelijk maakt. In tegenstelling tot grote software paketten die als 'professioneel' worden vermarkt , volgen command line tools de filosofie om één ding te doen en dat goed te doen. Deze kleine programma's kunnen samen worden 'gebonden' tot pipelines die elk type data of tekst kunnen verwerken. Deze pipelines zijn een manier om snel unieke en specifieke gereedschappen te produceren die een breed scala aan creatieve mogelijkheden bieden.
-
In deze workshop zullen we ons concentreren op command line tools in relatie tot platte tekst (plain text). Gedurende de dag verkennen we de sociaal-culturele geschiedenis van de command line interface, onderzoeken we de materialiteit van tekst op een computer en proberen we een breed scala aan tools uit.
-
-
Er is geen voorkennis van programmeren vereist, maar vaardigheden om notities te nemen zijn essentieel.
-
Computer / Laptop is noodzakelijk.

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.
-

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?
-
Date: Friday, 15 March 2019
-Entrance: 5 euro
-Door: 20:00
-Start: 20:30

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.

- De Samenscholing: Een collectieve kijk op Moocs en leren
-
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.

In january of 2018 a discussion on Nettime 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-GAFA1[1] Google/Amazon/Facebook/Apple/Free Software developments in this field media I've replied with some comments.
-
-
This is in the end what Silicon Valley tries to prevent at all cost:
-resistance and exodus. How can such a momentum be unleashed?
-
-
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)2[2] These are the dates of the project's source code first appearing in public, they are still actively updated and used.
-
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 3[3] https://joinmastodon.org/, 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 4[4] https://conversations.im 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 5[5] Peertube website 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.

- Screening: The Secret Life Of Machines, season 3 (cancelled)
-
Technology is everywhere, sometimes it hides its face underneath a mask of everydayness, but we can only guess what goes on in our vacuum cleaner, telephone or copy machine. When were these inventions introduced into our lives and how can we keep control over them? These questions, and many more, are answered by 'The Secret Life Of Machines'. In this cultseries from the BBC, which was produced between 1988 and 1993 engineer, cartoonist and writer Tim Hunkin and inventor Rex Garrod dissect the workings and history of a everyday appliance in each episode. During the next few weeks varia, center of everyday technology will screen the entire series during a couple of public screenings.

- Druk: Een avond met Cantos Deus & Bohman Family
-
De Engelse Bohman Brothers toveren al meer dan twee decenia unieke en impure experimentele muziek uit een tafel vol huis, tuin en keuken-rommel. Er zijn sporen van fluxus ongein, musique concrete, en vrije improvisatie. Voor deze avond worden de Bohman Brothers een Bohman Family: ze adopteren een aantal lokale muzikanten en zullen als een nonet optreden.
Door Cantos Deus zal een selectie van no-wave, gospel, reli-pop en psychedelica worship gespeeld worden, dit alles verpakt in een amusante revival show. Voor het publiek is er mogelijkheid tot dans, zang en aanbidding. Het gezelschap bestaat uit Bruno Xavier da Silva, Lukas Simonis en Jacco Weener.

Oplossingen en problemen in Extratonality 4
-"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.
-
Dit evenement wordt mogelijk gemaakt door de vriendelijke steun van het Institute of Extratonal Composition, WORM pirate bay, varia en Nothing More.
-
Eten, drinken en toegang zijn beschikbaar op donatie!

-Variavaria.zone/Centrum voor Alledaagse TechnologieSat, 21 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0100Sensible World Of Soccer - Varia Cup 2020varia.zone/sensible-soccer.html<p>Wordt een 'goal scoring superstar hero' tijdens de <strong>Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020</strong>! 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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-Het komt mede door een sterke community (zie ook <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>waar het spel verkocht wordt).</p>

-<p><strong>VARIA CUP</strong>
-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!</p>

-<p>Het aantal deelnemers is beperkt. Tussen 12:00 en 13:00 kan je je inschrijven, maar als je zeker wilt zijn van een plekje is het verstandig een e-mail te sturen naar: sebatosh@gmail.com. Vergeet niet de club op te schrijven waarmee je wilt gaan spelen. Doe je niet mee aan het toernooi? Er zullen computers aanwezig zijn om zelf een wedstrijd te spelen. Of kom de deelnemers aanmoedigen. De belangrijke wedstrijden krijgen live wedstrijdverslag van onze Braziliaanse commentator en daarnaast is er Amiga-muziek van <strong>DJ Newk</strong>!</p>

-<p>Laten we het over <strong>feministische servers</strong> hebben! In deze vergadering nodigen we u uit om te discussiëren over vragen als:<br>
-Wat betekent het voor een server om feministisch te zijn, en hoe zou het eruit kunnen zien? Wat en wie dient het? Wat is er nodig om het te creëren en te onderhouden?<br>
-We willen graag onze ideeën in kaart brengen en de mogelijkheid overwegen om een feministische server op te zetten bij Varia.<br>
-Wij brengen materiaal zoals RPis en computers mee. Dan kunnen we samen experimenteren en dingen uitproberen. <br>
-Doe met ons mee!<br></p>
-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops. Ze zijn gericht op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken op het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen.

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 <a href="http: //www.irational.org">irational.org</a> oprichtte (en de server runde), maar keerde zich in 1998 van het internet af toen hij diens bedrijfsovername daarvan voorzag.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Het bovenstaande is slechts een klein deel van zijn activiteiten en strijd tegen controlesystemen. <strong> Florian Cramer </strong> 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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong> the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse </strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

-<p>Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.</p>
-<p>Het tweede deel van het programma wordt verzorgd door Sam Kreuk, die zijn solo-project City Dragon zal presenteren.</p>

-<p><strong>City Dragon</strong><br>
-City Dragon is het soloproject van <em>Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk</em>. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops. Verwacht de stem van een diva, power ballads, street trance, een verzameling aan afvalritmes, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's en nog veel meer!</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) en <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?</p>
-<p>‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> en <em>Nathalie Berger</em> gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.</p>
-<p>Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.</p>
-<p>Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.</p>
-<p>Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.</p>

-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops die gericht zijn op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken on het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen. </p>
-<p>Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich. </p>
-<p>Het idee begon na de deelname aan het <strong>ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.</p>
-<p>In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .</p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organiseert wederom een <em>huurdersspreekuur</em> en <em>meet and greet</em> bij Varia.</p>
-<p>Op maandag 25 november ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>
-<p>SoliGroetjes,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden. Gezien deze situatie leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden. Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.</em></p>
-<p><em>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 vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!</em></p>

-<strong>Locatie: Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam</strong></p>
-<p>Planning:</p>
-<p><strong>15:00-17:00 Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30-21:00: BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>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?</em></p>

Wees erbij op 16 november voor een evenement vol singers, songwriters, herrie en karton!</p>
-<p><b>Niek Hilkmann en de Puls</b></p>
-<p>“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.</p>

-<p><b>Vulva</b></p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<p><b>Rowan van As</b></p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p><b>G. de Singer Songwriter</b></p>
-<p>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!</p>

Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.</p>
-<p>In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime <strong> Project Iceworm </strong>.Tijdens deze editie van <strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> zullen we de documentaire <strong> Camp Century </strong> bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.</p>
-<p><strong> David Young </strong> is een onderzoeker die geïnteresseerd is in het archiveren van mediatechnologieën, de geschiedenis van informatica en het discours van defensie-onderzoek in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Hij is momenteel een M3C / AHRC-gefinancierd doctoraatsonderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Nottingham; zijn doctoraatsthema is een onderzoek naar de technologische administratie van commando- en controlesystemen, de vormen van disciplinaire praktijken waarvan ze afhankelijk zijn om te opereren, en de strategische rationaliteiten die hun ontwikkeling in de loop van de tijd bepalen. Hij heeft een achtergrond in digitale mediakunst en heeft samengewerkt met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en wetenschappers bij de productie van experimentele, op onderzoek gerichte kunstwerken gefinancierd door de Arts Trust Scotland, de Alt-W Award van New Scotland en Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> is een initiatief van het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt georganiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de industriële archieffilms, infomercials, tv-rapporten en documentaires die in het verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd, en gebruiken deze om het heden te doorgronden.</p>

Nobody Is Safe. Mini Boekpresentatievaria.zone/Entrepecariat-Book-Launch.html<p>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. <a href="https://silviolorusso.com/">Silvio Lorusso</a> 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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<li>Floppy Kick Workshop</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

Om dit te vieren organiseren we een avond met verhalen en discussies over netwerken en onderhoudspraktijken.</p>
-<p><strong>Locatie</strong>: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is een para-nodale<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een <em>release</em> van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks. </p>
-<p>In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid. </p>
-<p>Drie van deze projecten, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> en <em>Relearn</em>, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.</p>
-<p>Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>Homebrewserver.club</em>, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.</p>
-<p>De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving</a>. Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is de 13e editie van de <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.</p>
-<p>De <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.</p>
-<p>De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.</p>

-<p>We zijn erg blij om aan te mogen kondigen dat een tweede <em>huurdersspreekuur</em> en <em>meet and greet</em> van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) bij Varia plaats zal vinden.</p>
-<p>Op maandag 23 september ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>
-<p>SoliGroetjes,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><em>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!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>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?</em></p>

De tweede helft van 2019 begint meteen goed; met drie opwindende acts die allen hun kunsten bij ons zullen tonen:</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>
-<p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE">https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE</a></p>
-<p>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.</p>

Wederom tonen we de industriële archieffilms, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen hebben gevormd en houden deze tegen het licht van vandaag.</p>
-<p>Op deze avond zullen we de documentaire "Crystal Go To War" uit 1943 vertonen. Gemaakt door U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, toont de film de processen die kwartskristallen moeten doorlopen voordat ze klaar zijn om in radio's en communicatieapparatuur te worden ingebracht.</p>
-<p>Kwartskristallen maken al tientallen jaren deel uit van het daglijks leven en vormen sinds de ontdekking van hun piëzo-elektrische eigenschappen in de jaren 1880 een belangrijk onderdeel van onze moderne technologie.</p>
-<p>Voorafgaand aan de screening zal er een korte introductie worden gegeven van het gebruik van kristallen in technologie. Een mooi begin van het tweede seizoen van Century 21 Calling!</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><em>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.
-</em>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.</p>
-<h1 id="varia-curriculum">Varia curriculum</h1>
-<p>Deze workshop maakt onderdeel uit van het Varia curriculum.</p>
-<p>Het curriculum is een doorlopende serie workshops waarbij deelnemers kennis maken met de technische, theoretische en methodologische vaardigheden die ten grondslag liggen aan de verschillende praktijken in Varia. De curriculum workshops zijn korte intensieve master-classes of workshops met als doel deelnemers te voorzien van grondige introducties in diverse themas die tengrondslag kunnen liggen aan verder eigen onderzoek. </p>

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 <strong>publicatie vormen</strong> (••) functioneren binnen/met deze zone. </p>
-<p>• 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 <em>zone</em> verder op te rekken, te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>
-<ul>

-<p>•• 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 <em>relearn</em> suggereert? Te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>

-<p>Als je mee wilt doen aan Relearn, stuur ons dan een mail op <a href="mailto:info@varia.zone">info@varia.zone</a> met een korte motivatie om je interesse toe te lichten. We zullen met enige regelmaat op inschrijvingen antwoorden, tot <strong>26 mei</strong>.</p>
-<p>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 <em>vegetarische lunch</em> (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 <em>hosting netwerk</em> 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. </p>
-<p>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! :)</p>

-<p>Eind vorige jaar benaderde <strong>De Player</strong> <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om langs te komen op vrijdag 31 Mei in Varia. Waar <strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> en <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> de archiefpublicatie zullen introduceren. Daarna volgen er performances van <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Robert Kroos</strong> en <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong>.</p>
-<p>De uitvoeringen zullen de hele nacht doorgaan, je bent van harte welkom om op elk moment deel te nemen.</p>
-<p>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>

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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Tijdens "Century 21 Calling", een reeks screenings die is geïnitieerd door het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt gehost door Varia, bekijken we de industriële archieven, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen vormden en houden deze tegen het licht van het heden.</p>

-<p>Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke <em>homebrew</em> netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze <em>host</em> een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze <em>infrastructour</em> onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden. In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep. </p>
-<p>Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van <em>self-hosting</em> een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura en Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Watt's Cookin'</strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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?</p>

-<p>Conversas is een reeks van tweewekelijkse informele ontmoetingen om elkaar te leren kennen, projecten, verhalen of interesses te delen.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>De drie Conversadores voor de sessie bij Varia zijn dat wel:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Nederlandse liefdesbrieven)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Naakt modellen, postkolonialisme en musea)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressies rond een vlag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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.
-www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/liefdebrieven/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>Na een residentie van 3 maanden (Staat van de Stad, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), presenteert <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Tegelijkertijd is er een nieuw platform, Mastodon, dat aan populariteit wint door de manier waarop het de kern van dit ongemakkelijke gevoel probeert aan te pakken. Mastodon ziet er uit en gedraagt zich als soortgelijke platforms, maar achter de schermen functioneert het op en totaal andere manier. </p>
-<p><a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is geen eigen gesloten platform, maar maakt deel uit van een verzameling onafhankelijke platforms die met elkaar samenwerken.

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op de constatering van een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' online diensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presentaties en werksessies wordt er aandacht besteed aan de softwareprojecten die deel uit maken van deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die (op)nieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, door veel aandacht te besteden aan ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/"><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em></a> (engelstalig).</p>

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!</p>

-<p><strong>Bismuth</strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong>good cop / naughty cop</strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> introduceert haar project 'Untitled Records'; een performatieve geluidsinstallatie die historische en emotionele vertellingen verweeft door middel van de 'instrumentalisatie' van een verzameling platen.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (onderdeel van Varia) presenteert zijn <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>

-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

Er is een eveneens groeiende vraag ontstaan voor het opnieuw gebruiken, repareren, verwijderen en bergen van dit materiaal, waarbij verschillende methoden worden toegepast die elk hun eigen impact hebben op de economie en het milieu. Hieruit vloeien enkele relevante vragen:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Welke waarden construeren onze hedendaagse houding tegenover afval?</li>
-<li>Is het misschien een obsessie met nuttigheid?</li>
-<li>Wat zijn de artistieke verdiensten van reparatie?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>In deze workshop, georganiseerd door Yoana Buzova en Niek Hilkmann, zullen we de implicaties van de recycling van (elektronisch) afval bekijken. Dit gebeurt in een praktische workshop waarin we plaatsen bezoeken waar 'afval' wordt verzameld om vervolgens het concept van reparatie en recyclage op zijn kop zet. Uitgaande van het idee dat nutteloosheid, net als een haiku-gedicht, een bepaald subversief potentieel bevat, zullen we een gebruiksvoorwerp reparen tot iets volkomen nutteloos.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Life Hacks is onderdeel van het fellowship-programma van Het Nieuwe Instituut met het thema 'burn out'. Zoals verwoord door <em>fellow</em> Ramon Amaro:</p>
-<p><em>“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.”</em></p>
-<p><em>Life Hacks</em> 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.</p>

-<p>De <em>command line</em> is een tekstuele interface voor de computer, niet zozeer een die 'ouderwets' is maar een die een geheel andere methodolgie van computergebruik mogelijk maakt. In tegenstelling tot grote software paketten die als 'professioneel' worden vermarkt , volgen <em>command line tools</em> de filosofie om één ding te doen en dat goed te doen. Deze kleine programma's kunnen samen worden 'gebonden' tot <em>pipelines</em> die elk type data of tekst kunnen verwerken. Deze <em>pipelines</em> zijn een manier om snel unieke en specifieke gereedschappen te produceren die een breed scala aan creatieve mogelijkheden bieden.</p>
-<p>In deze workshop zullen we ons concentreren op <em>command line tools</em> in relatie tot platte tekst (<em>plain text</em>). Gedurende de dag verkennen we de sociaal-culturele geschiedenis van de <em>command line interface</em>, onderzoeken we de materialiteit van tekst op een computer en proberen we een breed scala aan tools uit.</p>

-<p><strong> M. Klein </strong> is ook wel bekend van zijn werk in bands als Sweat Tongue, Lewsberg en Eklin en het label De Hef. Geïnspireerd door Satie en Fauré besloot hij om een aantal minimalistische elektronische pianocomposities samen te stellen. Daarbij kunnen wij als toeschouwer genieten van zijn organische toetsenbordspel, misschien wel op zijn Yamaha PSS-170, en wie weet wat nog meer?</p>
-<p><strong> Listentomerijn </strong> is het pseudoniem van Merijn van Ham. Wat is er nog niet over hem gezegd? Deze gerenommeerde Rotterdamse DJ toont zijn talent bij Varia achter de toetsen en misschien ook enkele drumpads. Wat voor soort drumpads? Die van de Casio MT205FF natuurlijk! Zou je iets minder verwachten?</p>
-<p><strong> Casio Show And Tell </strong>; Tussen de bedrijven door zal er een reeks toetsenbordpresentaties te zien zijn die de vele vormen en afmetingen die deze wonderlijke instrumenten door de loop der jaren hebben gehad, demonstreert. De show en vertel wordt gepresenteerd door niemand minder dan Lídia Pereira en haar assistent, Niek Hilkmann. Wil je zelf een keyboard presenteren? Stuur een e-mail naar: info@varia.zone</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Considerate Cake Confection is een initiatief van Lídia Pereira en Niek Hilkmann.</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong> Evamuss (Peru / Nederland) </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><em>What Remains</em> is een gloednieuw, duister humoristisch computerspel voor de Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) uit 1985, ontwikkeld door Iodine Dynamics. De game is momenteel in haar laatste ontwikkelfase belandt en zal in 2018 vrij worden uitgebracht. Met 'vrij' bedoelen we een gratis NES ROM-download en we zullen de broncode en artworks van de game en tools die we hebben gebruikt publiceren. Tevens zal er een gelimiteerde oplage aan fysieke, NES en Famicom casettes van gerecyclede hardware worden geproduceerd.</p>
-<p>Tijdens de ontwikkeling van het spel heeft Iodine Dynamics in samenwerking met Het Nieuwe Instituut voorzonderzoek gedaan en bij V2_ de eerste playtests georganiseerd. Op 22 juni organiseert Varia de laatste playtest voor het spel en we zijn op zoek naar spelers die ons nog één keer feedback willen geven!</p>

Water is altijd in beweging en vindt altijd een weg. Historisch gezien nemen fonteinen als verzamelplaats van water en mensen een centrale plaats in binnen het stads- en dorpsleven. Vaak werden zij geplaatst ter herdenking van een grote veldslag, pestepidemie of andere historische gebeurtenis, geschonken door een veldheer of mecenas. Helaas bezit Charlois momenteel geen werkende fontein. Niek Hilkmann en Anne Kolbe willen dit gebrek verhelpen door Charlois tijdelijk een mobiele fontein te geven die niet gebonden is aan een vaste plek of duiding. Deze fontein zal op 2 juni om 13:00 bij Varia gepresenteerd worden en is vervolgens tijdens de weekenden van Charlois Speciaal te zien, op zoek naar nieuwe betekenis en waardering.</p>

-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is de ontwikkelaar achter <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, een open source instant messaging-applicatie voor Android. In 2014 besloot hij om voltijds te werken aan Conversations en daar ook van proberen te leven. In plaats van helemaal opnieuw met Conversations te beginnen, bouwde hij een nieuwe client voor het bestaande gefedereerde chatprotocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Omdat een XMPP-applicatie in feite maar net zo goed kan zijn als het hele ecosysteem waar het onderdeel van is, was er voor Daniel een noodzaak om naast zijn werk aan Conversations ook bij te dragen aan het uitbreiden en verbeteren van dat grotere XMPP-ecosysteem. Deze werkzaamheden omvatten het helpen opstellen en implementeren van protocolstandaarden. OMEMO, een moderne en gebruiksvriendelijke end-to-end encryptie op basis van het protocol van Signal is daar een voorbeeld van. Hij draagt ook code bij aan andere XMPP-servers en -clients in het ecosysteem om ze te helpen te moderniseren. Daarnaast is hij <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">via zijn kritische essays</a> een uitgesproken voorstander van XMPP en open standaarden in het algemeen.</p>
-<p>Conversations is een uitzonderlijk project, omdat het door de aanhoudende focus op gebruikerservaring, ontwerp en beveiliging veel belangstelling heeft vergaard voor zowel zichzelf als ook het XMPP-ecosysteem als geheel. Dit maakt het een interessant voorbeeld om vanuit te bevragen hoe het ontwerpveld zou kunnen bijdragen aan kritieke softwarepraktijken.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' onlinediensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presenaties en werksessies worden in de context van dit project verschillende evenementen georganiseerd rond softwareprojecten die werken aan deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die opnieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, deels door hun focus op ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren.

-<p>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.</p>

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?</p>
-<p>In een reeks screenings "Century 21 Calling", geïnitieerd door Save_as en gehost door Varia in Rotterdam, zullen we kijken naar industriële archieven en bedrijfs informercials/propaganda die het voorstellingsvermorgen van morgen hebben vormgegeven en het vol hebben gehouden tot aan de dag van vandaag.</p>
-<p>Tijdens ons eerste evenement zullen we een algemene blik werpen op films van wereldtentoonstellingen en hun dromen voor morgen van vandaag.</p>

-<p>Algologs = een 1 dag + 1 dag dialoog rondom algoritmische werkwijzen. Dit evenement is een verlenging van Algolit, een werkgroep waar taal en algoritmes elkaar ontmoeten. Algologs maakt deel uit van een reeks ontmoetingen rondom de Algolit-bijeenkomsten (die normaal gesproken in Brussel plaatsvinden), om zo externe sprekers, presentatoren en deelnemers uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. Tijdens Algologs verhogen we het % betrokkenheid bij alledaagse algoritmes.</p>
-<p>Op vrijdagavond verkennen we een vermenigvuldiging van: Algoliteraire manieren om woorden te vertalen naar cijfers x infrapuncturele opluchtingen x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Om zo samen logs te maken van algoritmische standpunten, stemmen en werkwijzen.</p>
-<p>De presentaties op vrijdag worden gevolgd door een Algolit-sessie op zaterdag, waar we een collectieve duik zullen introduceren in de clusteringstechnieken van word-embeddings. Door stap voor stap naar een specifieke implementatie van word-embeddings te kijken, ontstaat een bron voor recepten voor kleine (op code of niet op code gebaseerde) experimenten.</p>

-Algolit-sessie: van woorden naar cijfers via word-embeddings</p>
-<p>Deze sessie is een speciale editie en maakt deel uit van een langere tijdslijn van maandelijkse Algolit-bijeenkomsten georganiseerd door Constant in het WTC25 in Brussel. In 2018 koos Algolit er voor om haar sessies een meer open karakter te geven, zodat een spontane jump-in jump-out-deelname mogelijk is. Meer informatie en materiaal rond Algolit is te vinden op <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We beginnen de dag met het stapsgewijs doorlopen van het script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a> en langzaam naar zowel op code gebaseerde als niet-code gebaseerde experimenten te werken, afhankelijk van waar de deelnemers een voorkeur voor hebben. Deze werksessie is een moment om zelf en samen dingen uit te proberen.</p>
-<p>Opmerking voor deelnemers: het zou goed zijn om een laptop mee te nemen. Niet per se om met code of digitale hulpmiddelen te werken (we zijn grote fans van analoge experimenten!), maar vanuit de gewoonte om gezamenlijk aantekeningen te maken of te kijken naar referenties. Daarom is een laptop een fijne metgezel!</p>

-<p>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 <a href="https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html">"It Is As If You Were Doing Work"</a> van Pippin Barr en <a href="http://thefounder.biz/">"The Founder"</a> van Francis Tseng.</p>

-"Extratonaliteit - Het openen van deuren is niet genoeg"</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Op 16 december geeft hij een korte lezing over alles wat hem zoal bezig houdt. Daarbij serveren we een soep.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-Het komt mede door een sterke community (zie ook <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>waar het spel verkocht wordt).</p>

-<p><strong>VARIA CUP</strong>
-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!</p>

-<p>Het aantal deelnemers is beperkt. Tussen 12:00 en 13:00 kan je je inschrijven, maar als je zeker wilt zijn van een plekje is het verstandig een e-mail te sturen naar: sebatosh@gmail.com. Vergeet niet de club op te schrijven waarmee je wilt gaan spelen. Doe je niet mee aan het toernooi? Er zullen computers aanwezig zijn om zelf een wedstrijd te spelen. Of kom de deelnemers aanmoedigen. De belangrijke wedstrijden krijgen live wedstrijdverslag van onze Braziliaanse commentator en daarnaast is er Amiga-muziek van <strong>DJ Newk</strong>!</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong>SWOS2020</strong>
-A strong community (check out <a href="http://www.sensiblesoccer.de">www.sensiblesoccer.de</a>) 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 <strong>Sensible World of Soccer 2020</strong>! 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 <a href="http://www.gog.com">www.gog.com </a>for a legal way to buy the game).</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Radio-active female monstrosity - Angeliki D.
-</strong></p>
-<p>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. </p>

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 <a href="http: //www.irational.org">irational.org</a> oprichtte (en de server runde), maar keerde zich in 1998 van het internet af toen hij diens bedrijfsovername daarvan voorzag.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Het bovenstaande is slechts een klein deel van zijn activiteiten en strijd tegen controlesystemen. <strong> Florian Cramer </strong> 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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong> the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse </strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

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) <a href="http://www.irational.org/">irational.org</a>, but turned away from the Internet in 1998, seeing its corporate takeover as early as in that year. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The above is only a small fraction of his activities in working against control systems. <strong>Florian Cramer </strong>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 <a href="http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html"><strong>the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse</strong></a> in Rotterdam.</p>

-<p>Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.</p>

-City Dragon is het soloproject van <em>Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk</em>. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops. Verwacht de stem van een diva, power ballads, street trance, een verzameling aan afvalritmes, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's en nog veel meer!</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) en <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?</p>
-<p>‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> en <em>Nathalie Berger</em> gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.</p>
-<p>Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.</p>
-<p>Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.</p>
-<p>Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.</p>

-<p><strong>Alles Flex?</strong><br>
-In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers <em>Abel Heijkamp</em> (NL) and <em>Julij Borštnik</em> (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?</p>
-<p>‘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.</p>
-<p><strong>Call me Intern</strong><br>
-Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers <em>David Leo Hyde</em> and <em>Nathalie Berger</em> set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>De <strong>Feministische Hack Bijeenkomsten</strong> zijn een reeks informele onderzoeksbijeenkomsten en workshops die gericht zijn op het verkennen van de suggesties, urgenties en mogelijkheden van feministische hack & tech-initiatieven. We nodigen mensen uit die geïnteresseerd zijn in technologie en de werkwijzen, die helpen het een vorm te geven, met het doel deze te bespreken en samen te werken on het gebied van inclusie en exclusie in technische gemeenschappen, feministische servers en hosting, autonome communicatiediensten, archief en documentatie. We zullen ook hardware en geluid exploraties erbij in opnemen. </p>
-<p>Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich. </p>
-<p>Het idee begon na de deelname aan het <strong>ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.</p>
-<p>In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .</p>

-<p>The <strong>Feminist Hack Meetings</strong> are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation. We will also include hardware and sound explorations. </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>The idea started after participating in <strong>/ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.</p>

-<p><em>In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden. Gezien deze situatie leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden. Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.</em></p>
-<p><em>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 vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!</em></p>

-<p>Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) organizes another round of their <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> at Varia on Monday the 25th of November. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

-<p>“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.

-<p><b>Vulva</b></p>
-<p>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!</p>

-<p><b>Rowan van As</b></p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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!</p>

-<p><b>Rowan van As</b></p>
-<p>One does not easily describe the life and times of Rowan Van As.

Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.</p>
-<p>In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime <strong> Project Iceworm </strong>.Tijdens deze editie van <strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> zullen we de documentaire <strong> Camp Century </strong> bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.</p>
-<p><strong> David Young </strong> is een onderzoeker die geïnteresseerd is in het archiveren van mediatechnologieën, de geschiedenis van informatica en het discours van defensie-onderzoek in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Hij is momenteel een M3C / AHRC-gefinancierd doctoraatsonderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Nottingham; zijn doctoraatsthema is een onderzoek naar de technologische administratie van commando- en controlesystemen, de vormen van disciplinaire praktijken waarvan ze afhankelijk zijn om te opereren, en de strategische rationaliteiten die hun ontwikkeling in de loop van de tijd bepalen. Hij heeft een achtergrond in digitale mediakunst en heeft samengewerkt met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en wetenschappers bij de productie van experimentele, op onderzoek gerichte kunstwerken gefinancierd door de Arts Trust Scotland, de Alt-W Award van New Scotland en Creative Scotland.</p>
-<p><strong> Century 21 Calling </strong> is een initiatief van het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt georganiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de industriële archieffilms, infomercials, tv-rapporten en documentaires die in het verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd, en gebruiken deze om het heden te doorgronden.</p>

However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.</p>
-<p>In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret <strong>Project Iceworm</strong>. During this edition of <strong>Century 21 Calling</strong> we will be screening the documentary <strong>Camp Century</strong>, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.</p>
-<p><strong>David Young</strong> is a researcher interested in archiving media technologies, the history of computing, and the discourses of defence research in the United States during the Cold War. He is currently a M3C/AHRC-funded doctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham; his PhD topic is an examination of the technological administration of command and control systems, the forms of disciplinary practices they depend on in order to operate, and the strategic rationalities which shape their development over time. He has a background in digital media art, and has collaborated with artists, designers, and scientists in the production of experimental, research-oriented artworks funded by the Arts Trust Scotland, New Scotland's Alt-W award, and Creative Scotland.</p>

-<p>In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with <a href="https://www.oddweb.org/">ODD</a>, a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.</p>
-<p>The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.</p>
-</blockquote>

-<small>Attendants reading Constant's "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room" letter. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.</p>
-<p>After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.</p>
-<p>Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.</p>
-<p>We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.</p>
-<p>Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the <em>Welcome to the Federation</em> project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer." src="/images/the-social-in-the-media-02.jpg">
-<small>Varia delegation presenting at ODD. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small></p>
-<p>An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing <em>through</em> leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "<em>PUBLISH</em>" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.</p>
-<p>For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project <a href="http://pushingscores.deplayer.nl/">Pushing Scores</a>, developed by Cristina and Julie, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.</p>
-<p><img alt="Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers." src="/images/varia_s2s_federation.svg">
-<small>Varia XMPP federation nodes with other chat providers.</small></p>
-<p>Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools. We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the <a href="https://feministhacktivism.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/03/what-is-a-feminist-server/">Feminist Server Manifesto</a>). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.</p>Cristina, Julie, Manetta, Roel, SilvioMon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200tag:None,2019-10-21:varia.zone/en/the-social-in-the-media.htmlarticlereportFloppy Totaal: Double Densityvaria.zone/floppy-totaal-DD.html<p>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.</p>
-<p>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!</p>

-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>

Om dit te vieren organiseren we een avond met verhalen en discussies over netwerken en onderhoudspraktijken.</p>
-<p><strong>Locatie</strong>: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is een para-nodale<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een <em>release</em> van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks. </p>
-<p>In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid. </p>
-<p>Drie van deze projecten, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> en <em>Relearn</em>, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.</p>
-<p>Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>Homebrewserver.club</em>, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.</p>
-<p>De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving</a>. Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is de 13e editie van de <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.</p>
-<p>De <strong>Pervasive Labour Union</strong> zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.</p>
-<p>De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.</p>

We will celebrate this with an evening of stories and discussions around networks and maintenance practices.</p>

-<strong>Date</strong>: Saturday 28th of September <br>
-<strong>Time</strong>: 19:30h - 21:30h</p>

-<p><strong>Networks Of One’s Own</strong> is a para-nodal<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup> 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. <strong>Three takes on taking care</strong> is the second volume of this series.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>Three of these projects, <em>homebrewserver.club</em>, <em>Bibliotecha</em> and <em>Relearn</em>, 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.</p>
-<p>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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>homebrewserver.club</em>, a periodic gathering where people learn together and reflect on self-hosting digital content. (<a href="http://homebrewserver.club">http://homebrewserver.club</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Bibliotecha</em>, a project centered on the development of local offline digital libraries for the distribution of electronic publications within small communities. (<a href="http://bibliotecha.info">http://bibliotecha.info</a>)</li>
-<li><em>Relearn</em>, a self-organised 'summer school' reflecting upon collective learning, that has as many teachers as it has participants. (<a href="http://relearn.be/">http://relearn.be/</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>With this publication we hope to improve their resilience, portability, long-term sustainability and accessibility.</p>
-<p>The first issue in the series was initiated by <a href="http://constantvzw.org">Constant</a> and documents the project 'Etherbox', a <a href="https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html">collaborative writing and documentation environment</a>. 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Fed Up!</strong> is the 13th edition of the <strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>The Pervasive Labour Union</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>We zijn erg blij om aan te mogen kondigen dat een tweede <em>huurdersspreekuur</em> en <em>meet and greet</em> van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) bij Varia plaats zal vinden.</p>
-<p>Op maandag 23 september ben je van harte welkom om deel te nemen aan discussies, of om samen te reflecteren op de huisvestingsituatie in Rotterdam, onze huurrechten en hoe we elkaar kunnen steunen in het zoeken naar oplossingen voor veilige, zekere en betaalbare wonen.</p>
-<p>De BPW is een solidariteitsbeweging en draait op vrijwilligers die elkaar steunen uit de overtuiging dat wonen een grondrecht is waar we samen voor moeten opstaan.</p>
-<p>SoliGroetjes,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>

-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><em>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!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Huurdersspreekuur</strong></p>
-<p><em>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.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meet and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>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?</em></p>

-<p>We are very happy to announce that a second <em>tenant consultation</em> plus <em>meet and greet</em> by Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) will take place at Varia on Monday the 23rd of September. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.</p>
-<p>BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.</p>
-<p>SoliGreets,</p>
-<p>Varia</p>
-<hr>
-<p><em>In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.</em></p>
-<p><em>In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!</em></p>
-<p><strong>15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation</strong></p>
-<p><em>Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.</em></p>
-<p><strong>19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet</strong></p>
-<p><em>We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?</em></p>

De tweede helft van 2019 begint meteen goed; met drie opwindende acts die allen hun kunsten bij ons zullen tonen:</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>

-<p>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.</p>

Kicking of the second half of 2019, we organize an event where three stirring acts will show their craft.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0</a></p>
-<p>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</p>

-<p>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.</p>

Wederom tonen we de industriële archieffilms, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen hebben gevormd en houden deze tegen het licht van vandaag.</p>
-<p>Op deze avond zullen we de documentaire "Crystal Go To War" uit 1943 vertonen. Gemaakt door U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, toont de film de processen die kwartskristallen moeten doorlopen voordat ze klaar zijn om in radio's en communicatieapparatuur te worden ingebracht.</p>
-<p>Kwartskristallen maken al tientallen jaren deel uit van het daglijks leven en vormen sinds de ontdekking van hun piëzo-elektrische eigenschappen in de jaren 1880 een belangrijk onderdeel van onze moderne technologie.</p>
-<p>Voorafgaand aan de screening zal er een korte introductie worden gegeven van het gebruik van kristallen in technologie. Een mooi begin van het tweede seizoen van Century 21 Calling!</p>
-<p>"Century 21 Calling" is een reeks screenings die is geïnitieerd door het collectief <a href="(http://www.save-as.media/)">Save_as</a> en wordt gehost door Varia.</p>

-<p>This evening we will be screening the documentary Crystal Go To War from 1943. Created by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, it shows the processes that quartz crystals have to go through before they are ready to be inserted into radios and communication equipment.</p>
-<p>Quartz crystals have been part of human life for decades and since the discovery of its piezoelectric properties in the 1880's it has been a key component in modern technology.</p>
-<p>Before the screening, there will be a small introduction the usage of crystals in technology. So join us on the 24 for the first screening of the 2 seasons of Century 21 Calling!</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><em>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.
-</em>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.</p>

-<p>Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.</p>
-<p>During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.</p>
-<ul>
-<li>At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi. </li>

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 <strong>publicatie vormen</strong> (••) functioneren binnen/met deze zone. </p>
-<p>• 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 <em>zone</em> verder op te rekken, te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digitale inter-afhankelijkheden</li>
-<li>affectieve infrastructuur</li>
-<li>homebrew netwerken</li>
-<li>genetwerkte knopen</li>
-<li>feministische servers</li>
-<li>gefedereerde netwerken</li>
-<li>en-en-netwerken</li>
-<li>digitale autonomie</li>

-<li>so-en-soevereiniteits netwerken</li>
-<li>buiten-de-cloud denken</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>•• 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 <em>relearn</em> suggereert? Te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:</p>

-<p>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 <em>vegetarische lunch</em> (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 <em>hosting netwerk</em> 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. </p>
-<p>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! :)</p>

This subject zone can morph into multiple directions throughout the session. Our specific interest is in how <strong>publishing formats</strong> (••) operate with/on/through this zone.</p>
-<p>• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>digital interdependencies</li>
-<li>affective infrastructures</li>
-<li>homebrew networks</li>

-<li>out-of-the-cloud thinking</li>
-<li>…</li>
-</ul>
-<p>•• 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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>multiple readers</li>
-<li>cross-readings created through algorithms</li>
-<li>logbooks</li>

-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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 <em>daily vegetarian lunch</em> (please let us know about allergies or other dietary preferences). Following a tradition from previous years, we will arrange a <em>hosting network</em> in the city and find a place to stay for everyone.

-<p>Eind vorige jaar benaderde <strong>De Player</strong> <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om langs te komen op vrijdag 31 Mei in Varia. Waar <strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> en <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> de archiefpublicatie zullen introduceren. Daarna volgen er performances van <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Robert Kroos</strong> en <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong>.</p>
-<p>De uitvoeringen zullen de hele nacht doorgaan, je bent van harte welkom om op elk moment deel te nemen.</p>

-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

-<p>At the end of last year, <strong>De Player</strong> approached <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><strong>Julie Boschat Thorez</strong> and <strong>Cristina Cochior</strong> will give a brief introduction to the tool, followed by <strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong>, <strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> and <strong>Robert Kroos</strong>'s score interpretations. </p>
-<p>The performances will be ongoing throughout the night, you are welcome to join in at any moment.</p>

-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong>Christine Cornwell</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong>Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)</strong> 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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Tijdens "Century 21 Calling", een reeks screenings die is geïnitieerd door het collectief <a href="http://www.save-as.media/">Save_as</a> en wordt gehost door Varia, bekijken we de industriële archieven, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen vormden en houden deze tegen het licht van het heden.</p>

Where can your children play safely? These questions and many more will be addressed during this informative evening. </p>

For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group. </p>
-<p>This workshop is a moment for some out-of-the-cloud thinking. Departing from a discussion on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the digital infrastructures that shape our everyday cultural practices and online socialities. The workshop will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, to hosting cooperatives, free software philosophy and feminist understandings of the internet.</p>

-<p>Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke <em>homebrew</em> netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze <em>host</em> een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze <em>infrastructour</em> onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden. In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep. </p>
-<p>Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van <em>self-hosting</em> een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.</p>

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:</p>
-<p><strong> Agente Costura en Stephen Doyle </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong>Watt's Cookin'</strong> 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!</p>
-<p><strong> De Brut </strong> 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.</p>

-<p><strong> The Singing Toaster </strong> 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?</p>

-<p>Conversas is een reeks van tweewekelijkse informele ontmoetingen om elkaar te leren kennen, projecten, verhalen of interesses te delen.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>De drie Conversadores voor de sessie bij Varia zijn dat wel:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Nederlandse liefdesbrieven)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Naakt modellen, postkolonialisme en musea)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressies rond een vlag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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.
-www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/liefdebrieven/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>Na een residentie van 3 maanden (Staat van de Stad, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), presenteert <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p><a href="www.conversas.net">Conversas</a> is een project geïnitieerd in Lissabon door Constança Saraiva en Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Tegenwoordig is het een project van veel mensen en steden.</p>

-<p>Conversas is a series of bi-weekly informal meetings made so that we can get to know each other, share projects, stories or interests. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>The three Conversadores for the session at Varia are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Karla de Witte (Dutch Love Letters)</li>
-<li>Clara Mendes (Nude models, postcolonialism and museums)</li>
-<li>Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressions around a flag)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Karla</strong> 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/</p>
-<p><strong>Clara</strong> 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.</p>
-<p>After a 3 month artist residency (State of the City, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), <strong><a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p>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.

Tegelijkertijd is er een nieuw platform, Mastodon, dat aan populariteit wint door de manier waarop het de kern van dit ongemakkelijke gevoel probeert aan te pakken. Mastodon ziet er uit en gedraagt zich als soortgelijke platforms, maar achter de schermen functioneert het op en totaal andere manier. </p>
-<p><a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is geen eigen gesloten platform, maar maakt deel uit van een verzameling onafhankelijke platforms die met elkaar samenwerken. Deze grotere verzameling projecten wordt ook wel <em>de Fediverse</em> genoemd en bestaat uit een grote diversiteit van softwares, gemeenschappen, culturen en houdingen.</p>

Wat zijn de onderliggende concepten? Wie heeft het gemaakt? Wat is de geschiedenis erachter? Wat voor soort verschillende gemeenschappen leven er in dit ecosysteem? Wat betekent het om een gemeenschap te hosten?</p>
-<p>De introductie en het rondetafelgesprek worden gefaciliteerd door een beheerder van een grote Mastodon gemeenschap en een beheerder van een kleine Mastodon gemeenschap. Beiden hebben ook bijgedragen aan het vertalen van Fediverse software. </p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op de constatering van een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' online diensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presentaties en werksessies wordt er aandacht besteed aan de softwareprojecten die deel uit maken van deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die (op)nieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, door veel aandacht te besteden aan ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/"><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em></a> (engelstalig).</p>

At the same time there has been a new platform, Mastodon, which has been gaining popularity in the way it seeks to address the sources of this unease. It looks and behaves like similar platforms, but under the hood it works substantially different ways. </p>
-<p>Rather than a single service, <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> is part of a collection of community-owned independent services that interoperate with each other. This larger set of projects is also known as the Fediverse and is compromised of vastly different softwares, cultures and attitudes.</p>

-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

Dit initiatief over de hedendaagse betekenis van de 'grafische score' is de afgelopen 2-3 jaar door <strong><a href="https://www.deplayer.nl/">De Player</a></strong> uitgevoerd. Zij heeft aan <strong>Varia</strong> 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. </p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> introduceert haar project 'Untitled Records'; een performatieve geluidsinstallatie die historische en emotionele vertellingen verweeft door middel van de 'instrumentalisatie' van een verzameling platen.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (onderdeel van Varia) presenteert zijn <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>
-<h2 id="over-pushing-scores">Over Pushing Scores</h2>
-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

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?</p>
-<p>To communicate the project to a larger audience DE PLAYER asked <strong>Varia</strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://trippingthroughruntime.net/">Valentina Vuksic</a></strong> 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.</p>
-<p><strong><a href="http://www.ana-guedes.com/">Ana Guedes</a></strong> is introducing her project Untitled Records; a performative sound installation weaving historical and emotional narratives through the “instrumentalisation” of a collection of records.</p>
-<p><strong>Niek Hilkmann</strong> (part of Varia) will present his <a href="https://nothingmore.work/s/in/our-first-audible-profitable-economy-exhibition/">UNI</a> (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.</p>
-<h2 id="about-pushing-scores">about Pushing Scores</h2>
-<p>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? </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

Er is een eveneens groeiende vraag ontstaan voor het opnieuw gebruiken, repareren, verwijderen en bergen van dit materiaal, waarbij verschillende methoden worden toegepast die elk hun eigen impact hebben op de economie en het milieu. Hieruit vloeien enkele relevante vragen:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Welke waarden construeren onze hedendaagse houding tegenover afval?</li>
-<li>Is het misschien een obsessie met nuttigheid?</li>
-<li>Wat zijn de artistieke verdiensten van reparatie?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>In deze workshop, georganiseerd door Yoana Buzova en Niek Hilkmann, zullen we de implicaties van de recycling van (elektronisch) afval bekijken. Dit gebeurt in een praktische workshop waarin we plaatsen bezoeken waar 'afval' wordt verzameld om vervolgens het concept van reparatie en recyclage op zijn kop zet. Uitgaande van het idee dat nutteloosheid, net als een haiku-gedicht, een bepaald subversief potentieel bevat, zullen we een gebruiksvoorwerp reparen tot iets volkomen nutteloos.</p>
-<h1 id="varia-curriculum">Varia curriculum<br></h1>
-<p>Deze workshop is georganiseerd in het kader van de allereerste reeks van het Varia-curriculum, ontwikkeld in samenwerking met de 3ejaars minor "Hacking" van 'Autonomous Practices' van de Willem de Kooning Academie (WdKA) in Rotterdam. </p>
-<p>Het curriculum is een doorlopende reeks workshops waarin deelnemers kennis maken met de technische, theoretische en methodologische vaardigheden die aan de basis staan van de verschillende praktijken die binnen <em>Varia</em> leven. Dit zijn korte intensieve masterclasses of workshops die erop gericht zijn op hoog niveau inleidingen te geven die kunnen dienen als basis voor verdere verkenningen.</p>

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:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>What values construct our contemporary attitude towards waste? </li>
-<li>Is it perhaps an obsession with utility? </li>
-<li>What are the artistic merits of repair?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>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.</p>
-<h1 id="varia-curriculum">Varia curriculum</h1>
-<p>This workshop is organised in the context of the very first series of the Varia curriculum, developed in collaboration with the 3rd year minor "Hacking" of the Autonomous practices from the Willem de Kooning Academy (WdKA) in Rotterdam. </p>
-<p>The curriculum is an ongoing series of workshops in which participants are introduced to technical, theoretical and methodological skills at the basis of the various practices that live within <em>Varia</em>. These are short intensive master-classes or workshops aimed towards providing high level introductions as a basis for further explorations.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>

-<p>Life Hacks is onderdeel van het fellowship-programma van Het Nieuwe Instituut met het thema 'burn out'. Zoals verwoord door <em>fellow</em> Ramon Amaro:</p>
-<p><em>“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.”</em></p>
-<p><em>Life Hacks</em> 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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is part of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s fellowship program around the theme of ‘burn out’. As 2017 fellow Ramon Amaro states, <em>“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.”</em> </p>
-<p>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. </p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Life Hacks is curated by Silvio Lorusso, and jointly organized by HNI’s Research Department and XPUB.</p>

-<p>De <em>command line</em> is een tekstuele interface voor de computer, niet zozeer een die 'ouderwets' is maar een die een geheel andere methodolgie van computergebruik mogelijk maakt. In tegenstelling tot grote software paketten die als 'professioneel' worden vermarkt , volgen <em>command line tools</em> de filosofie om één ding te doen en dat goed te doen. Deze kleine programma's kunnen samen worden 'gebonden' tot <em>pipelines</em> die elk type data of tekst kunnen verwerken. Deze <em>pipelines</em> zijn een manier om snel unieke en specifieke gereedschappen te produceren die een breed scala aan creatieve mogelijkheden bieden.</p>
-<p>In deze workshop zullen we ons concentreren op <em>command line tools</em> in relatie tot platte tekst (<em>plain text</em>). Gedurende de dag verkennen we de sociaal-culturele geschiedenis van de <em>command line interface</em>, onderzoeken we de materialiteit van tekst op een computer en proberen we een breed scala aan tools uit.</p>

-<p>The command line is a textual interface for the computer, rather than being an 'old fashioned' interface it is a completely different methodological approach to computing. Instead of large visual programs aimed at being 'professional tools', command line tools follow the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. These small programmes can be 'chained' together into pipelines capable of processing any type of data or text. These pipelines are a way of quickly producing unique and custom toolsets providing a wide range of creative opportunities.</p>
-<p>In this workshop we will focus on command line tools in relation to plain text. During the day we will dive into the social-cultural history of the command line interface, explore the materiality of plain text on a computer and discover a wide range of command line tools.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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.</p>

-<p><strong> Evamuss (Peru / Nederland) </strong> 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.</p>

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).</p>

But rather that there was a potential for the process of site-making to become a process of exploring what a website can be. Exploring how one could do web publishing in a self-hosted<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:2">2</a></sup>, minimal<sup id="fnref:3"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:3">3</a></sup>, portable<sup id="fnref:4"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:4">4</a></sup>, documented<sup id="fnref:5"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:5">5</a></sup>, FLOSS<sup id="fnref:6"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6">6</a></sup> and playfull<sup id="fnref:6b"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:6b">7</a></sup> way. In a way that connects to the multiplicity of practices that varia consists of. This text is the beginning of an attempt to make explicit and put to words some of the ideas and questions that drove this process. In the spirit of release early, release often we will publish a series of texts as we develop this site. Hopefully this can trigger questions on web design in the conceptual sense, not as a practice only involved with visual language, but as a practice considering on-line publishing ecosystems. One of the fundamental choices we made early on was to use a static site generator as our publishing tool, so we'll start by introducing the concepts of both 'static site' and 'generator'.</p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/varia_webhistory.gif">
-<small>The varia website unfolding over time.</small></p>
-<h2 id="static-site">Static site</h2>
-<p>Varia.zone is a <em>static</em> website. A static website is a 'traditional' website where all the content consists of HTML documents on the server's hard disk. In our case these are generated through Pelican<sup id="fnref:7"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:7">8</a></sup>, which is a collection of Python<sup id="fnref:8"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:8">9</a></sup> scripts and plugins<sup id="fnref:9"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:9">10</a></sup> to turn unstyled plain text into HTML pages. </p>
-<p><img alt="varia.zone" src="/images/static-dynamic.svg">
-<small>Schematic overview of the main differences between a static and a dynamic website.</small></p>
-<p>This way of working can be understood to be different to 'more modern' websites. These modern methods use server side programming languages that generate the website on the fly by querying a database. This means that every time someone visits the site, it gets generated on demand. </p>
-<p>A static website instead gets generated once and exists as a set of documents. They are always there, not only when a visitor visits the page. Like the tree in the forest that also falls when nobody is there to hear it. Static websites are thus based on file storage whereas dynamic websites depend on recurrent computation. A website based on storage has some advantages for performance, security, portability and reproducibility that we will address in detail later in the series. </p>
-<p>The static website is supportive to another idea we would like to push for: independent, self-hosted services. Since a static website requires less resources, one can do with a not-so-powerful, energy efficient server to host them. This opens up the possibility to (economically) serve the site directly from our space, which we currently do. </p>
-<p><img alt="The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed." src="/images/varia.server.jpg">
-<small>The varia server in the space, where various self-hosted services are installed.</small></p>
-<p>In general hosting a server from one's own space introduces some security concerns. These are however partly mitigated by a static site, because it doesn't use server side languages. That also means the web server doesn't become a liability in terms of exploitable plug-ins or databases like in popular systems such as Wordpress. Once it has been generated, it is very much a case of set and forget.</p>
-<p>In essence the minimal file-based website is contrary to a cloud mentality, where the material circumstances of the hardware and hosting location are made irrelevant (for the cloud/vps customer) meaning that any 'service' can be 'deployed', 'scaled' 'migrated' etc. Our approach instead informs what can be hosted based on the material circumstances of the server. The choice to self-host this website is a start for us to think about what it means to base web design decisions on a specific situation in terms of hardware and hosting location. </p>
-<h2 id="generator">Generator</h2>
-<p>The static HTML documents that together make the varia website are not manually written in the html language, but are generated out of a set 'plain text'<sup id="fnref:10"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:10">11</a></sup> documents. This <em>generating</em> aspect allows for multiple ways to engage with the texts and images that we publish. It is a promising way to think about possible transformations of plain text into not just web pages but different media altogether. </p>
-<p>One of the needs for transformability comes from the fact that our website exists in a context where usage of the web has atrophied to the point where one is required to publish on or via social media in order to reach an audience at all. However, politically we are not interested in dedicated profiles on social media platforms for our organization. This is a clear decision driven by a strong desire to self-host and own our content, yet allowing to let that content be referred to comfortably within social media as well. The technique of the generator allows us to do this<sup id="fnref:11"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:11">12</a></sup>. </p>
-<p>Working with generative processes also triggers our interest and enthusiasm for exploring other publishing tools. One can imagine a single text or article morphing into widely different media such as calendar entries, RSS feeds, email newsletters, posters, etc. Each of these introducing their own potentials for playful aesthetics, reading experiences and publics. This is on the one hand interesting as a form of automation that reduces (or better: re-uses) work, but more importantly as a process which necessarily will introduce new 'forms' and aesthetics.</p>

-<small>This article in its plain text 'view', showing the markdown mark-up language.</small></p>
-<p>At the center this processes relies heavily on the habit of writing in markdown, a mark-up language that allows one to add styling information to plain text, so that it can be read by both people and a variety of tools. The markdown files can be archived using versioning tools<sup id="fnref:12"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:12">13</a></sup> or easily converted into different formats using generators. The content of the website, in its 'raw' form, can therefore be read by many other softwares across (historical) operating systems or included in other workflows, and thus stay open for potential reuse and long-term re-accesibility. Using this process makes it possible for our source files to remain simple, fluid and archivable. </p>

-<p>Revisiting static sites and taking all these small steps feels like going back in time. However, revisiting web-development basics in this sense becomes a vehicle for understanding the web of these days. To get a sense of the compound choices that have sedimented over time into 'web design' practices and that remain opaque when using ready made frameworks. Creating an on-line publishing work flow from ground up instead allows one to explore the potentials and challenge the conventions of what a website should be. </p>

Water is altijd in beweging en vindt altijd een weg. Historisch gezien nemen fonteinen als verzamelplaats van water en mensen een centrale plaats in binnen het stads- en dorpsleven. Vaak werden zij geplaatst ter herdenking van een grote veldslag, pestepidemie of andere historische gebeurtenis, geschonken door een veldheer of mecenas. Helaas bezit Charlois momenteel geen werkende fontein. Niek Hilkmann en Anne Kolbe willen dit gebrek verhelpen door Charlois tijdelijk een mobiele fontein te geven die niet gebonden is aan een vaste plek of duiding. Deze fontein zal op 2 juni om 13:00 bij Varia gepresenteerd worden en is vervolgens tijdens de weekenden van Charlois Speciaal te zien, op zoek naar nieuwe betekenis en waardering.</p>

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.</p>

-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is de ontwikkelaar achter <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, een open source instant messaging-applicatie voor Android. In 2014 besloot hij om voltijds te werken aan Conversations en daar ook van proberen te leven. In plaats van helemaal opnieuw met Conversations te beginnen, bouwde hij een nieuwe client voor het bestaande gefedereerde chatprotocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Omdat een XMPP-applicatie in feite maar net zo goed kan zijn als het hele ecosysteem waar het onderdeel van is, was er voor Daniel een noodzaak om naast zijn werk aan Conversations ook bij te dragen aan het uitbreiden en verbeteren van dat grotere XMPP-ecosysteem. Deze werkzaamheden omvatten het helpen opstellen en implementeren van protocolstandaarden. OMEMO, een moderne en gebruiksvriendelijke end-to-end encryptie op basis van het protocol van Signal is daar een voorbeeld van. Hij draagt ook code bij aan andere XMPP-servers en -clients in het ecosysteem om ze te helpen te moderniseren. Daarnaast is hij <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">via zijn kritische essays</a> een uitgesproken voorstander van XMPP en open standaarden in het algemeen.</p>
-<p>Conversations is een uitzonderlijk project, omdat het door de aanhoudende focus op gebruikerservaring, ontwerp en beveiliging veel belangstelling heeft vergaard voor zowel zichzelf als ook het XMPP-ecosysteem als geheel. Dit maakt het een interessant voorbeeld om vanuit te bevragen hoe het ontwerpveld zou kunnen bijdragen aan kritieke softwarepraktijken.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is gebaseerd op een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' onlinediensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presenaties en werksessies worden in de context van dit project verschillende evenementen georganiseerd rond softwareprojecten die werken aan deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die opnieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, deels door hun focus op ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).</p>
-<p>De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/"><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em></a>(engelstalig).</p>

-</ul>
-<p>Daniel Gultsch is the developer behind <a href="https://conversations.im">Conversations</a>, an open source instant messaging application for Android. In 2014, he decided to work full time on Conversations and try to make a living from it. Rather than starting from scratch with Conversations, he built it as a client for the existing federated messaging protocol XMPP.</p>
-<p>Since an XMPP messenger can, in a way, only be as good as the entire ecosystem, Daniels work on Conversations also meant work on expanding and improving that larger XMPP ecosystem. This work includes helping to draft and implement protocol standards, such as OMEMO, a modern and user-friendly end-to-end encryption based on Signal's protocol. He also contributed code to other XMPP servers and clients in the ecosystem to bring them up to speed with modern uses. Additionally, <a href="https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html">through his critical essays</a> he is a vocal defender of XMPP and open standards in general.</p>
-<p>Conversations is notable because, through its continuous focus on user experience, design and security it has garnered a lot of interest for both itself and the XMPP ecosystem as a whole. This makes it an interesting example to talk about what the design field could potentially contribute to critical software practices.</p>

-<h1 id="welcome-to-the-federation">Welcome to the � Federation</h1>
-<p><em>Welcome to the � Federation</em> is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX). </p>
-<p>The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: <a href="https://varia.zone/wttf/">Welcome to the � Federation</a></p>

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?</p>
-<p>In een reeks screenings "Century 21 Calling", geïnitieerd door Save_as en gehost door Varia in Rotterdam, zullen we kijken naar industriële archieven en bedrijfs informercials/propaganda die het voorstellingsvermorgen van morgen hebben vormgegeven en het vol hebben gehouden tot aan de dag van vandaag.</p>

-<p>Algologs = een 1 dag + 1 dag dialoog rondom algoritmische werkwijzen. Dit evenement is een verlenging van Algolit, een werkgroep waar taal en algoritmes elkaar ontmoeten. Algologs maakt deel uit van een reeks ontmoetingen rondom de Algolit-bijeenkomsten (die normaal gesproken in Brussel plaatsvinden), om zo externe sprekers, presentatoren en deelnemers uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. Tijdens Algologs verhogen we het % betrokkenheid bij alledaagse algoritmes.</p>
-<p>Op vrijdagavond verkennen we een vermenigvuldiging van: Algoliteraire manieren om woorden te vertalen naar cijfers x infrapuncturele opluchtingen x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Om zo samen logs te maken van algoritmische standpunten, stemmen en werkwijzen.</p>
-<p>De presentaties op vrijdag worden gevolgd door een Algolit-sessie op zaterdag, waar we een collectieve duik zullen introduceren in de clusteringstechnieken van word-embeddings. Door stap voor stap naar een specifieke implementatie van word-embeddings te kijken, ontstaat een bron voor recepten voor kleine (op code of niet op code gebaseerde) experimenten.</p>

-<p>Deze sessie is een speciale editie en maakt deel uit van een langere tijdslijn van maandelijkse Algolit-bijeenkomsten georganiseerd door Constant in het WTC25 in Brussel. In 2018 koos Algolit er voor om haar sessies een meer open karakter te geven, zodat een spontane jump-in jump-out-deelname mogelijk is. Meer informatie en materiaal rond Algolit is te vinden op <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
-<p>We beginnen de dag met het stapsgewijs doorlopen van het script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a> en langzaam naar zowel op code gebaseerde als niet-code gebaseerde experimenten te werken, afhankelijk van waar de deelnemers een voorkeur voor hebben. Deze werksessie is een moment om zelf en samen dingen uit te proberen.</p>
-<p>Opmerking voor deelnemers: het zou goed zijn om een laptop mee te nemen. Niet per se om met code of digitale hulpmiddelen te werken (we zijn grote fans van analoge experimenten!), maar vanuit de gewoonte om gezamenlijk aantekeningen te maken of te kijken naar referenties. Daarom is een laptop een fijne metgezel!</p>

-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

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 <a href="https://www.pippinbarr.com/games/2017/07/03/it-is-as-if-you-were-doing-work.html">"It Is As If You Were Doing Work"</a> by Pippin Barr and <a href="http://thefounder.biz/">"The Founder"</a> by Francis Tseng.</p>

-"Extratonaliteit - Het openen van deuren is niet genoeg"</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

-“Extratonality - Opening Doors Is Not Enough”</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Op 16 december geeft hij een korte lezing over alles wat hem zoal bezig houdt. Daarbij serveren we een soep.</p>
-<p>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.</p>

Wanneer deden deze machines hun intrede in onze levens en hoe houden we ze in bedwang? Al deze vragen en meer worden beantwoord door 'the secret life of machines'. In deze cultserie van de BBC (1988-1993) ontleedt ingenieur, cartoonist en schrijver Tim Hunkin samen met uitvinder Rex Garrod iedere aflevering de geschiedenis en werking van een alledaags apparaat. In de komende weken zal er bij varia, het centrum voor alledaagse technologie enkele keren een compleet seizoen van deze show te zien zijn.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

-<p>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.</p>

Laten we het over feministische servers hebben! In deze vergadering nodigen we u uit om te discussiëren over vragen als:
-Wat betekent het voor een server om feministisch te zijn, en hoe zou het eruit kunnen zien? Wat en wie dient het? Wat is er nodig om het te creëren en te onderhouden?
-We willen graag onze ideeën in kaart brengen en de mogelijkheid overwegen om een feministische server op te zetten bij Varia.
-Wij brengen materiaal zoals RPis en computers mee. Dan kunnen we samen experimenteren en dingen uitproberen.
-Doe met ons mee!

-
Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich.
-
Het idee begon na de deelname aan het ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival) in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.
-
In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .

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!
-
-
workshop: 14:00 / gratis
-
avondprogramma: 20:00 / 5 euro
-
-
Full Program (in het Engels):
-
Part 1 of Floppy Totaal @ Varia (14:00-18:00) is free and consists of a special Floppy Kick workshop and a conversation.
-
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.
Mark Windisch aka. Eoforwine is the founder of the Floppy Kick label and plays beatless lo-fi noise music, spiced with modified field recordings, synths and a light theremin. He is a regular participant of Eastern Hungary's noise events, including the annual Zajkert (Noise Garden) and the Banzaj series, and has toured through and played at many experimental festivals and gallery openings through Middle-Europe and Ireland.
Tamás Szántó is a DJ, producer, cratedigger and promotor who is dedicated to seeking strange soundings and musical forms with peculiar diligence. He harkens the musical topicalities; not to adapt, but to avoid them. Collecting records such as experimental noise mixes, or fine theatrical idm ones; he might as well have just the right, harsh & obscure
-acid vinyl to mix further with.
Joseph Oliver Anton Knierzinger or JoaK is an artist and ghost artist. At the moment he works on different algorithms and alogisms between Vienna, Guangzhou and Wartberg. At Floppy Totaal he will present the results of his explorations into the recordable magnetic properties of the floppy disk.
Michael Ridge is a UK based artist that creates works whichoften incorporate sound, video, electronics, sculpture, collage and found objects, often exploring the properties of sound reproduction through non-musical materials and objects. He has a keen interest in documenting and presenting the unwanted, overlooked or decayed. Some of his activities include recording and performing Noise Music under the alias Zebra Mu, running the DIY record label Quagga Curious Sounds, being one half of the drawing/zine/mail art duo Ridge & Scrase and being a member of the artist collective other/other/other. For Floppy Totaal Michael Ridge will compose a new sound art composition that draws inspiration from the works of John Cage and Alvin Lucier; whilst examining the physical and storage limitations of the humble floppy disk. A commemoration of extreme file compression!
Jason Scott Sadofsky is an American archivist, historian of technology, filmmaker, performer, and actor. Scott has been known by the online pseudonyms Sketch, SketchCow, and The Slipped Disk and has been called "figurehead of the digital archiving world". He is the creator, owner and maintainer of textfiles.com, a web site which archives files from historic bulletin board systems. He is the creator of a 2005 documentary film about BBSes, BBS: The Documentary, and a 2010 documentary film about interactive fiction, GET LAMP. During Floppy Totaal a long distance conversation will be held with Jason Scott about his work, his life and the current state of the floppy disk.
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.

- Heath Bunting - in gesprek met the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse
-
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 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 in Rotterdam.
-
Programma:
-
14.00-16.00: Dertig jaar onderzoek naar en activisme tegen controlesystemen - gesprek- en projectevaluatie met Heath Bunting
- 16.00-17.00: Feedback op the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse
- 17.00-19.00: pauze met koffie, thee en soep
- 19.00: DJ set van Jacco Weener

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.

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?

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.

- Welcome to the � Federation - Mastodon en de Fediverse
-
De laatste jaren is er veel discussie en ontevredenheid over sociale media. Tegelijkertijd is er een nieuw platform, Mastodon, dat aan populariteit wint door de manier waarop het de kern van dit ongemakkelijke gevoel probeert aan te pakken. Mastodon ziet er uit en gedraagt zich als soortgelijke platforms, maar achter de schermen functioneert het op en totaal andere manier.
-
Mastodon is geen eigen gesloten platform, maar maakt deel uit van een verzameling onafhankelijke platforms die met elkaar samenwerken. Deze grotere verzameling projecten wordt ook wel de Fediverse genoemd en bestaat uit een grote diversiteit van softwares, gemeenschappen, culturen en houdingen.
-
Publiek gesprek
-
Een algemene inleiding in Mastodon en het Fediverse
-Zaterdag 8 december 2018
-20:00u - 21:30u
-
Op zaterdag 8 december zal Wtt�F een rond-de-tafel gesprek organiseren als algemene introductie over Mastodon en de Fediverse. Hoe werkt het? Wat zijn de onderliggende concepten? Wie heeft het gemaakt? Wat is de geschiedenis erachter? Wat voor soort verschillende gemeenschappen leven er in dit ecosysteem? Wat betekent het om een gemeenschap te hosten?
-
De introductie en het rondetafelgesprek worden gefaciliteerd door een beheerder van een grote Mastodon gemeenschap en een beheerder van een kleine Mastodon gemeenschap. Beiden hebben ook bijgedragen aan het vertalen van Fediverse software.
-
Werksessie
-
Vertaling en documentatie van het Mastodon-project
-Zaterdag 8 december 2018
-14:00 uur - 18:00 uur
-
Als onderdeel van deze editie van Wtt�F zullen we ook de middag samen doorbrengen om de documentatie en vertaling van het Mastodon-project te bekijken. Hoe worden open-source projecten vertaald? In welke taal worden projecten gecommuniceerd? Hoe kunnen de technische concepten toegankelijk worden gemaakt voor een groter publiek zonder hun betekenis te verliezen?
-
Als je wilt deelnemen aan deze werksessie, schrijf je dan vooraf in door een korte mail te sturen naar info[at]varia.zone.
-
Praktisch
-
Deze bijeenkomst vindt plaats in Varia, Gouwstraat 3 in Rotterdam.

Welcome to the Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is gebaseerd op de constatering van een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' online diensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presentaties en werksessies wordt er aandacht besteed aan de softwareprojecten die deel uit maken van deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die (op)nieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, door veel aandacht te besteden aan ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).
-
De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: Welcome to the � Federation (engelstalig).
-
-
Dit project wordt mogelijk gemaakt met de steun van CBK Rotterdam en Varia.

Lang voordat er mensen in Charlois waren, was er al water. Water is altijd in beweging en vindt altijd een weg. Historisch gezien nemen fonteinen als verzamelplaats van water en mensen een centrale plaats in binnen het stads- en dorpsleven. Vaak werden zij geplaatst ter herdenking van een grote veldslag, pestepidemie of andere historische gebeurtenis, geschonken door een veldheer of mecenas. Helaas bezit Charlois momenteel geen werkende fontein. Niek Hilkmann en Anne Kolbe willen dit gebrek verhelpen door Charlois tijdelijk een mobiele fontein te geven die niet gebonden is aan een vaste plek of duiding. Deze fontein zal op 2 juni om 13:00 bij Varia gepresenteerd worden en is vervolgens tijdens de weekenden van Charlois Speciaal te zien, op zoek naar nieuwe betekenis en waardering.

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.

- Muziek: Niek Hilkmann, Vulva, Rowan Van As, G. de Singer Songwriter en DJ Wanneer
-
Een nieuwe muzikale avond in Varia! Wees erbij op 16 november voor een evenement vol singers, songwriters, herrie en karton!
-
Niek Hilkmann en de Puls
-
“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.
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!
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.
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!
Geen enkele muziekavond is compleet zonder goede DJ en daarom zijn we erg blij om DJ Wanneer op de line-up te hebben. Deze DJ combineert het beste van Scheveningen, Rotterdam en Zoeterwoude door een eclectische mix van kleine crooners, dissonante meidenbands en algehele hysterische muziek te draaien.

Op 28 september lanceert Varia de tweede editie van Networks of One's Own: Three takes on taking care en Fed Up!, de 13e editie van de Pervasive Labour Union zine. Om dit te vieren organiseren we een avond met verhalen en discussies over netwerken en onderhoudspraktijken.
Networks Of One’s Own is een para-nodale1 periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een release van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. Three takes on taking care is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks.
-
In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid.
-
Drie van deze projecten, homebrewserver.club, Bibliotecha en Relearn, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.
-
Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:
-
-
Homebrewserver.club, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (http://homebrewserver.club)
-
Bibliotecha, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (http://bibliotecha.info)
-
Relearn, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (http://relearn.be/)
-
-
Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.
-
De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door Constant en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving. Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.
Fed Up! is de 13e editie van de Pervasive Labour Union en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.
-
De Pervasive Labour Union zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.
-
De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.

Varia heeft grootse plannen voor 2018! We willen deze graag delen tijdens een speciale nieuwjaarsborrel als onderdeel van de collectieve seizoensopening met andere galeries en projectruimtes in Oud Charlois. Naast drankjes en zoutjes, zal er een heuse robomop-performance te zien zijn.

About
-
Varia is een Rotterdams initiatief dat in 2017 is ontstaan vanuit de behoefte om de praktijken van de leden open te stellen en ad hoc publieke of semi-publieke momenten te organiseren in verschillende configuraties. In de kern is Varia gericht op het ontwikkelen van kritische inzichten in de technologieën om ons heen. Varia experimenteert met verschillende intrumenten en tools om op een collectieve manier fysieke en digitale infrastructuren te ontwikkelen.
-
Onze manier om samen te zijn als een collectieve ruimte wordt omschreven in de volgende documenten: onze Code of Conduct die onze gedeelde waarden en gedragsregels beschrijft, ons collectief statement die de positie van Varia contextualiseert, en lidmaatschapsrichtlijnen waar u meer kunt lezen over ons ledenmodel.

Varia's Code of Conduct
-
Over dit document
-
De Code of Conduct beschrijft een reeks richtlijnen die helpen bij het vaststellen van gedeelde waarden. Ze zorgen ervoor dat gedrag dat deelnemers kan schaden, wordt vermeden.
-
Dit document is van toepassing op de leden en bezoekers van Varia, inclusief de organisatoren van evenementen en mensen waarmee we samenwerken. Het document is ook van toepassing op de gebruikers, beheerders en makers van de online omgevingen van Varia. Wanneer het woord "wij" in dit document wordt gebruikt, is dit van toepassing op al de bovenstaande.
-
We erkennen dat we allemaal van verschillende achtergronden komen en bepaalde vooroordelen en privileges hebben. Daarom kan deze Code of Conduct niet alle vormen omvatten waarop mensen zich buitengesloten, onveilig of ongemakkelijk kunnen voelen. We willen ruimte maken voor een open gesprek. Daarom is deze Code of Conduct nooit af en moet deze worden gewijzigd wanneer dat nodig is. We zullen het document in de loop van de tijd aanpassen, zodat deze altijd de prioriteiten en gevoeligheden binnen Varia behandelt. Het is de collectieve verantwoordelijkheid van ons allemaal om dit document na te leven en naar de fysieke en digitale ruimte van Varia te brengen.
-
Waarom een Code of Conduct?
-
Varia is een complexe collectieve ruimte. Wij zijn een meertalige, multiculturele, multidisciplinaire groep. Bij Varia spreken we voornamelijk Engels en Nederlands. We houden rekening met het feit dat de meeste van onze leden en bezoekers geen native speakers van deze talen zijn. We erkennen ook dat er vele manieren van spreken en communiceren zijn (woorden, gebaren, daden, enz.), afhankelijk van culturele achtergronden, opleidingen en praktijken. Hierdoor kunnen situaties ontstaan waar misverstanden of conflicten optreden. We streven ernaar om deze misverstanden op te lossen door middel van een open dialoog: we geven er de voorkeur aan om uit te gaan van de goede intenties van de leden, deelnemers en bezoekers. Daarom vragen we hen om hun bezorgdheden indien mogelijk rechtstreeks aan elkaar kenbaar te maken. Wanneer dit geen optie is, kan deze Code van Coduct worden geraadpleegd voor verdere acties.
-
Varia is een leeromgeving en biedt ruimte aan een brede reeks praktijken. Samenwerken betekent kloven overbruggen: tussen verschillende praktijken, niveaus van technische expertise, persoonlijke voorkeuren en politieke of ethische oriëntaties. We streven ernaar een omgeving te creëren voor deelnemers met verschillende ervaringsgebieden, waar complexe onderwerpen kunnen worden besproken.
-
We willen dat Varia een ruimte is waar alle leden hun praktijken in een collectieve setting kunnen ontwikkelen en mensen zich veilig en comfortabel voelen om deel te nemen, zich uit te drukken, te leren en samen te werken. De kwetsbare aard van collectief werk betekent dat ongemakkelijke situaties zullen voorkomen. Deze situaties vragen om wederzijds respect en zorg. We hopen dat iedereen die deelneemt aan Varia respectvol is, zich kwetsbaar durft op te stellen en zorgzaam is voor elkaar. In het belang van het creëren van een inclusieve omgeving, tolereren we geen intimidatie, uitsluiting of ander schadelijk gedrag.
-
Gewenst gedrag
-
Bij Varia zien we graag:
-
attentheid
-
ten opzichte van elkaar, de ruimte die we betreden, de mensen in Varia en de praktijken die er gevestigd zijn.
-
-
openheid
-
Probeer geen aannames te maken over anderen. Dit kunnen onder meer vooronderstellingen zijn over identiteit, kennis, ervaringen of gewenste voornaamwoorden. Wees gul met elkaars tijd en mogelijkheden. Help anderen, indien gewenst. Er zijn veel manieren om bij te dragen aan een collectieve praktijk. Die kunnen verschillen van onze individuele manieren.
-
-
respect
-
voor verschillende standpunten en ervaringen. Respecteer fysieke en emotionele grenzen. Ga respectvol om met elkaars beperkte tijd en energie. Neem elkaar en elkaars praktijken serieus. Erken dat dit kan leiden tot onenigheid. Meningsverschil is echter geen excuus voor slechte manieren.
-
-
verantwoordelijkheid
-
Kom beloftes na wanneer je deze maakt. We nemen verantwoordelijkheid voor de goede dingen die we doen, maar ook voor de slechte. We luisteren naar en reageren op respectvolle feedback. We corrigeren onszelf indien nodig. We houden er rekening mee dat de impact van onze woorden en handelingen op andere mensen niet altijd overeenkomen met onze intentie.
-
-
toewijding
-
Samen maken we de groep. We nemen hier deel aan met zelfrespect en putten onszelf niet uit. Dit kan betekenen dat we zeggen hoe we ons voelen, grenzen stellen en duidelijk zijn over onze verwachtingen. Van niemand wordt verwacht perfect te zijn in deze gemeenschap. Vragen stellen voorkomt problemen later. Probeer ontvankelijk en behulpzaam te zijn, als er vragen worden gesteld.
-
-
empathie
-
We luisteren actief naar elkaar en proberen discussies niet te domineren. Geef een ander de kans om zich te verbeteren en biedt deze de gelegenheid om verantwoordelijkheid op zich te nemen. We creëren ruimte voor anderen. We zijn ons bewust van elkaars gevoelens, bieden ondersteuning waar nodig en weten wanneer we een stap terug moeten doen. Iemands idee van zorg kan verschillen van hoe een ander verzorgd willen worden. We vragen eerst of onze hulp gewenst is.
-
-
inclusiviteit
-
Geef anderen de kans om hun standpunten te uiten, vaardigheden te delen en andere bijdragen te leveren. Samen zijn is iets waar we actief aan werken en vereist conversatie. We erkennen dat niet iedereen dezelfde kansen heeft, daarom moeten we gevoelig zijn voor de context waarin we opereren. Er zijn impliciete hiërarchieën die we kunnen betwisten, en we moeten ernaar streven dat te doen. Wanneer we iets organiseren (projecten, evenementen, enz.), denken we na over hoe we rekening kunnen houden met de behoeften van anderen, een activistische houding kunnen bevorderen en andere stemmen kunnen ondersteunen.
-
-
Onacceptabel gedrag
-
Geen discriminatie,
-
handelingen of opmerkingen die de onderdrukking van groepen of mensen bevorderen of versterken op basis van geslacht, genderidentiteit en expressie, ras, etniciteit, nationaliteit, seksualiteit, seksuele geaardheid, religie, handicap, psychische aandoeningen, neurodiversiteit, persoonlijk uiterlijk, fysiek uiterlijk, leeftijd of klasse. Beweer geen "*reverse-isms*", bijvoorbeeld "*reverse racism*".
-
-
Geen intimidatie of pesterijen,
-
noch openbaar, noch privé. Ook geen opzettelijke intimidatie, stalken, achtervolgen, lastigvallen, verstoring van evenementen, agressieve, lasterlijke, denigrerende of bedreigende opmerkingen online of persoonlijk en ongewenst fysiek of elektronisch contact of seksuele aandacht. We tollereren geen laster, achterklap of het verspreiden van andere desinformatie.
-
-
Geen schending van privacy,
-
waaronder het publiceren van privé-informatie van anderen, zoals een fysiek of elektronisch adres. Maak of publiceer geen foto's of opnames van anderen nadat diegene heeft verzocht om dat niet te doen. Verwijder opnames indien gevraagd.
-
-
Geen seksuele intimidatie,
-
waaronder ongewenste seksuele taal, afbeeldingen, handelingen of aandacht.
-
-
Geen destructief gedrag,
-
of enig ander gedrag dat redelijkerwijs als ongepast kan worden beschouwd. Dit omvat afbeeldingen van geweld zonder inhoudswaarschuwingen, het constant en doelbewust ontsporen van gesprekken, of ander gedrag dat het vermogen van anderen om deel te nemen aan de groep of de ruimte voortdurend verstoort.
-
-
Interventieprocedure
-
Onmiddelijke interventie (hulp is direct nodig!)
-
Als je je onveilig voelt, kan er onmiddellijk contact worden opgenomen met de Varia-leden die ervoor moeten zorgen dat de Code Of Conduct wordt nageleefd. Deze contactpersonen zijn leden van Varia die hun best zullen doen om te helpen, of om de juiste hulp te vinden indien nodig.
Bijvoorbeeld: Er gebeurt iets tijdens een evenement en er moet onmiddellijk op worden gereageerd. Er zal onmiddellijk actie worden ondernomen wanneer deze overtreding van de Code Of Conduct wordt gemeld. Dit kan betekenen dat een deelnemer uit een evenement wordt verwijderd.
-
Niet-onmiddelijke interventie (een situatie vraagt meer tijd)
-
Sommige overtredingen vragen niet direct om actie, maar moeten door meerdere mensen op een meer afgemeten manier worden overwogen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn: als je een voortdurend patroon van intimidatie ervaart; je bent getuige van structureel onaanvaardbaar gedrag; iemand blijft "per ongeluk" discriminerende taal gebruiken, nadat hem is gevraagd om te stoppen.
-
Probeer, indien mogelijk, de problemen allereerst zelf met de betrokken partijen te bespreken voordat je een bemiddelaar raadpleegt. Wij geven er de voorkeur aan om meningsverschillen op een constructieve manier op te lossen en samen te werken om dingen recht te zetten, zolang dit mogelijk en veilig is. Als de problemen echter blijven bestaan, kunnen degenen die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de handhaving van de Code Of Conduct je helpen dit aan te pakken. Neem contact op met de hierboven genoemde leden. Gevoelige informatie zal met zorg worden behandeld.

Collectieve infrastructuren
-
We ondervragen vormen van digitale afhankelijkheid door onze digitale infrastructuur zelf te hosten. De leden van Varia zijn betrokken bij het gebruik en de ontwikkeling van gefedereerde netwerken zoals XMPP-groepschats en Mastodon-instanties, RSS-feeds, beschikbaar in Nederlands en Engels, of de mailinglijst. Meer informatie over onze Online Hosting tools vindt je hieronder.
-
Ook de ruimte zelf is onderdeel van de collectieve infrastructuur. Hier beschikken leden over middelen zoals een elektronica depot, gereedschappen en werkbanken, en ook printfaciliteiten. Hieronder vindt je meer informatie over onze fysieke hosting.
-
Publiek programma
-
Vanuit het initiatief van de leden worden er verschillende evenementen in Varia georganiseerd.
-
Werkgroepen
-
De leden van Varia organiseren zich ook in kleinere werkgroepen. Op bepaalde dagen komen geïnteresseerden samen om te studeren, discussiëren of werken aan een specifiek onderwerp. Deze samenkomsten zijn soms ook toegankelijk voor het publiek.
-
De huidige werkgroepen zijn de homebrewserver.club, de Varia Bibliotheekgroep, Riso Group en pub.club.
-
Curriculum
-
Om vaardigheden binnen de groep te delen, biedt Varia een curriculum aan, gevormd door de praktijken en interesses van de leden.
Tijdens onze (open dagen)[https://varia.zone/en/tag/linux-presentation-day.html] organiseren we verschillende activiteiten, waaronder het installeren van Linux-besturingssystemen, het bespreken van gratis en open source ontwerpprogramma's en spelsessies.
-
Fysieke hosting
-
Wij zijn gevestigd op de hoek van de Gouwstraat en de Wolphaertstraat in Charlois, Rotterdam. We gebruiken onze ruimte om evenementen te organiseren en die van anderen te hosten. Wat er in de ruimte gebeurt, wordt gedocumenteerd en opgeslagen in ons archief. Als je je herkent in de interesses en waarden van Varia, neem dan gerust contact met ons op via info[@]varia.zone voor meer informatie.
-
Varia Bibliotheek
-
Er is een bescheiden fysieke bibliotheek in de ruimte, die tijdens publieke evenementen geraadpleegd kan worden.

Rotterdam's Electronica Depot
-
Doordat veel van de onafhankelijke elektronicawinkels in Rotterdam hun deuren permanent hebben gesloten, is het bijna onmogelijk geworden om op de fiets te stappen en snel elektronische onderdelen te kopen. Als reactie hierop heeft varia het Rotterdamse Elektronicadepot* opgericht, een community resource waar leden tegen kostprijs onderdelen kunnen kopen.
-
Online Hosting
-
Wij hosten meerdere tools en communicatie kanalen op de Varia-server. Ze zijn vrij te gebruiken door leden en Varia's directe omgeving, maar houd er wel rekening mee dat het doel van deze tools is om te experimenteren; ze zijn mogelijk onstabiel.
-
XMPP
-
Varia host een server voor het gefederaliseerde chatprotocol XMPP, die de nieuwste functies ondersteunt.
Neem contact met ons op als u een account op onze server wilt hebben.
-
Etherpad
-
Etherpad is een open source collectieve online schrijftool die de leden gebruiken om notities te maken, teksten te schrijven en elkaar op de hoogte te houden.
-
Etherdump
-
We werken met Etherdump om een collectieve schrijfpraktijk om te zetten in een gezamenlijke publicatiepraktijk. Etherdump is een command line tool die de mogelijkheden van Etherpad uitbreidt door de pad in meerdere formaten te exporteren. Om de verbonden combinatie van publiceren en samenwerken met Etherdump te verkennen en te onderzoeken, hebben we een fork van het project onder de naam Etherpump.
-
Code repositories
-
Als onderdeel van hun praktijk schrijven Varia leden gesitueerde software die we publiceren op onze Gitea instance.
-
Licentie
-
Praktijken rondom kopiëren, toe-eigenen, piraterij en delen zijn op verschillende manieren rommelig: zowel politiek, juridisch, cultureel als ook economisch gezien. Varia (her)overweegt op dit moment een collectief licentiebeleid. Copyright is vaak niet de optie waar we voor willen gaan, maar ook open licenties sluiten niet altijd aan. De meningen hierover verschillen in de groep of per situatie en zetten aan tot vragen, overwegingen en zorgvuldigheid. Al het materieel dat we op dit moment publiceren valt daardoor op dit moment onder copyright, tenzij anders vermeld.

Collectief statement
-
Varia is een collectieve ruimte1 in Rotterdam die zich richt op alledaagse technologie.
-
Wij zijn van mening dat technologie niet het exclusieve domein van specialisten moet zijn. Technologie beïnvloedt iedereen en zou verschillende manieren van leven mogelijk moeten maken, in plaats van deze uit te sluiten. We vatten alledaagse technologie breed op; niet alleen computers, standaarden of protocollen horen daarbij, maar bijvoorbeeld ook kookgereedschappen of muziekinstrumenten. Vanuit onze achtergrond in kunst, ontwerp, software & hardware, onderwijs en theoretische praktijk, voelen we de behoefte om een plek te vormen waar technologie en sociale vragen met elkaar verbonden zijn; een plek waar samenwerking, continuïteit, ontwikkeling, collectief leren, nieuwsgierigheid en experiment voorop staan.
-
De collectieve organisatievorm van Varia heeft overeenkomsten met bestaande collectieve ruimtes, zoals hackerspaces, fablabs en coworking-ruimtes, maar we zien ook de beperkingen van deze en willen daar graag aan voorbijgaan. Discussies over technologie richten zich niet altijd op de oneerlijke verdeling van macht tussen meerdere actoren, waaronder grote bedrijven en/of gebruikers en ontwikkelaars. Hierbij spelen klasse, ras, geslacht en vaardigheden een belangrijke rol. Binnen Varia proberen we ruimte te creeëren voor radicaal andere manieren om over technologie te denken in een social context.
-
Enkele van de vragen waar we ons mee bezighouden zijn: Hoe verhouden we ons tot onze digitale infrastructuur? Hoe gaan we om met vormen van afhankelijkheid zonder buitengesloten te worden? Hoe kunnen we inclusiviteit relateren aan technologie? Zijn oude technologieën echt ouderwets? Hoe gaan we om met veroudering en duurzaamheid?
-
Varia is voorstander van -- zonder deze bewegingen willen idealiseren -- Free/Libre en Open Source Software (F/LOSS), free culture, open standards, lowtech en DIY/DIWO-culture, omdat deze de mogelijkheid bieden om een ander heden te vormen en de deur open te laten voor gewenste toekomsten.
-
Varia is een collectieve ruimte voor vragen, meningen, interventies, hulp en actie. We faciliteren onder andere serverruimte, collectieve leermomenten en thematische werkgroepen. Daarnaast wordt onze ruimte regelmatig gebruikt om openbare evenementen in te organiseren, waaronder experimentele muziekavonden, werksessies en rondetafelgesprekken met gasten.
-
De collectieve, culturele praktijk van Varia biedt een solidaire omgeving voor de praktijken van de individuele leden, door verschillende disciplines en kennisgebieden met elkaar te verbinden. Dit stelt ons in staat om verschillende sociale en technologische infrastructuren te overwegen en te ontwikkelen, terwijl we er tegelijkertijd mee experimenteren en erover nadenken.
-
Als groep willen we niet één verenigde stem ontwikkelen, maar de diversiteit waaruit Varia bestaat omarmen en verwelkomen. We zijn ons ervan bewust dat onze werkwijzen en processen niet altijd leiden tot een afgewerkt product. Om deze reden willen we blijven experimenteren met verschillende vormen van interactie en publicatie.
-
Varia voelt zich thuis in Rotterdam en zoekt aansluiting bij lokale, onafhankelijke initiatieven en urgenties. Wij vinden het belangrijk om problemen in onze lokale omgeving te verbinden met wereldwijde discussies en vice versa. Varia werkt samen met individuen, collectieven, organisaties zonder winstoogmerk, onderwijsinstellingen, verenigingen en internationale netwerken, die nieuwsgierig zijn naar het situeren van de samenhang tussen technologische en sociale kwesties.

Varia is niet alleen een collectief, en niet alleen een ruimte. Varia is een verbonden combinatie van beide. ↩

Lidmaatschapsrichtlijnen
-
Rechten en plichten van leden
-
Leden dragen niet alleen financieel bij aan Varia, maar ook met tijd en energie. Ze nemen deel aan de maandelijkse ledenvergaderingen en kunnen onderdeel worden van het bestuur om specifieke verantwoordelijkheden op zich te nemen. Lidmaatschap is gebaseerd op wederzijds vertrouwen en solidariteit: als een lid af en toe niet kan bijdragen aan Varia (financieel of anderszins), leidt dit niet tot een onmiddellijke repercussie, maar zal er eerst naar mogelijke oplossingen wordt gekeken. We zijn ons er wel van bewust dat een gebrek aan bijdrage op de lange termijn niet houdbaar is voor de groep als geheel.
-
Leden dragen zorg voor de ruimte, voor elkaar en voor bezoekers (zie onze Code of Conduct). Ze kunnen de collectieve ruimte van Varia gebruiken en daar evenementen organiseren, rekening houdend met de collectieve ambities van Varia en haar omgeving.
-
Leden worden vaak informeel gecontacteerd door externe partijen die nieuwsgierig zijn naar Varia of die met ons willen samenwerken. We verwachten van leden dat ze open zijn over de kansen die uit Varia voortkomen, zoals projectopdrachten of uitnodigingen voor een lezing of workshop. Wanneer een lid inkomsten genereert via Varia, wordt 15% daarvan geïnvesteerd in Varia's common fund, waarvan we onder andere de door Varia geïnitieerde activiteiten mogelijk maken: concerten, uitwisselingsreizen, aankopen van apparatuur, enz.
-
Leden hebben een sleutel van onze collectieve ruimte. Varia is geen gedeelde studioruimte, maar leden kunnen er wel werken. Dit betekent dat zij, met hun spullen, niet permanent hun intrek in de ruimte kunnen nemen en de verantwoordelijkheid hebben om de ruimte schoon en presentabel te houden. Dit is nodig omdat de ruimte wordt gebruikt voor een verscheidenheid aan activiteiten, variërend van filmvertoningen, workshops, vergaderingen en meer...
-
Wie kan lid worden?
-
Lidmaatschap kan worden verkregen wanneer men geïnteresseerd is in het ontwikkelen van een collectieve benadering in het bestuderen, aanpassen en experimenteren met alledaagse technologieën.
-
De huidige leden hebben een achtergrond in kunst, design, softwarestudies, musicologie, choreografie, koken, theoretische en sociale praktijken. Nieuwe leden hoeven geen vergelijkbare achtergrond te hebben; wat telt is dat ze bereid zijn hun interesses en expertise in de collectieve praktijk van Varia binnen te brengen.
-
Hoe wordt je lid?
-
Als je geïnteresseerd bent om lid te worden, verwijzen we je graag naar Varia's Code of Conduct en Onze Context documenten, om op de hoogte te komen van waar we voor staan en wat we belangrijk vinden. We staan open voor contact via info@varia.zone en zijn ook benaderbaar tijdens onze evenementen. Hierna kunnen we je meer vertellen over onze aanmeldingsprocedure. Varia behoudt zich het recht om aanvragen te accepteren of af te wijzen, maar zal desondanks zoveel mogelijk transparantie proberen te geven over het verloop van het proces.
-
Hoewel we openstaan voor het uitbreiden van onze groep, zien we een plezierige collectieve dynamiek als doorslaggevend wanneer het aankomt op het aannemen van nieuwe leden. Momenteel hebben we niet de capaciteit om te veel nieuwe leden aan Varia toe te voegen. We streven ernaar een evenwicht te vinden tussen de grootte van de groep en de wens van nieuwe leden om lid te worden.

Pushing Scores - Presentatie publicatie en performanceavond
-
Eind vorige jaar benaderde De PlayerVaria 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.

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 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 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 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 (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.

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.

- RecycleReduceReuse and waar is Repair Workshop (vol)
-
In de afgelopen paar eeuwen hebben snelle veranderingen in technologie, economische fluctuatie, technologische vervanging en geplande veroudering geleid tot een snelgroeiend overschot aan (elektronisch) afval over de hele wereld. Er is een eveneens groeiende vraag ontstaan voor het opnieuw gebruiken, repareren, verwijderen en bergen van dit materiaal, waarbij verschillende methoden worden toegepast die elk hun eigen impact hebben op de economie en het milieu. Hieruit vloeien enkele relevante vragen:
-
-
Welke waarden construeren onze hedendaagse houding tegenover afval?
-
Is het misschien een obsessie met nuttigheid?
-
Wat zijn de artistieke verdiensten van reparatie?
-
-
In deze workshop, georganiseerd door Yoana Buzova en Niek Hilkmann, zullen we de implicaties van de recycling van (elektronisch) afval bekijken. Dit gebeurt in een praktische workshop waarin we plaatsen bezoeken waar 'afval' wordt verzameld om vervolgens het concept van reparatie en recyclage op zijn kop zet. Uitgaande van het idee dat nutteloosheid, net als een haiku-gedicht, een bepaald subversief potentieel bevat, zullen we een gebruiksvoorwerp reparen tot iets volkomen nutteloos.

Varia curriculum
-
Deze workshop is georganiseerd in het kader van de allereerste reeks van het Varia-curriculum, ontwikkeld in samenwerking met de 3ejaars minor "Hacking" van 'Autonomous Practices' van de Willem de Kooning Academie (WdKA) in Rotterdam.

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.

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:
-
-
meervoudige readers
-
logboeken
-
syllabi
-
documentatie
-
annotaties
-
kookboeken
-
tutorials
-
README's
-
error rapporten
-
link dumps
-
scores
-
…
-
-
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.
-
vrijdag 7 juni 20:00 - 22:00
-Relearn publiek avond programma: embed yourself into Relearn
-
zaterdag/zondag 8 - 9 juni 10:00 - 18:00
-Relearn sub-zone-trajecten
-
Als je mee wilt doen aan Relearn, stuur ons dan een mail op 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! :)

We gebruiken vrije software, organiseren evenementen en werken samen in verschillende constellaties. varia leert gaandeweg, maakt notities, is meertalig en kan gecontacteerd worden via info[@]varia.zone.
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.

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) 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 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!

Het aantal deelnemers is beperkt. Tussen 12:00 en 13:00 kan je je inschrijven, maar als je zeker wilt zijn van een plekje is het verstandig een e-mail te sturen naar: sebatosh@gmail.com. Vergeet niet de club op te schrijven waarmee je wilt gaan spelen. Doe je niet mee aan het toernooi? Er zullen computers aanwezig zijn om zelf een wedstrijd te spelen. Of kom de deelnemers aanmoedigen. De belangrijke wedstrijden krijgen live wedstrijdverslag van onze Braziliaanse commentator en daarnaast is er Amiga-muziek van DJ Newk!

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,
-infomercials van bedrijven, tv uitzendingen en documentaires die in het
-verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd en gebruikt die om het
-heden te doorgronden. Het is een initiatief van Save_as en vindt plaats
-in Varia in Rotterdam.
-
Datum: Zaterdag 20 oktober 2018
-Deuren open: 20:00u
-Start screening: 20:30u
-Performance: 21:30u
-Einde van de avond: 23:00u

- Welcome to the � Federation - The Ecosystem is Moving

Op 1 en 2 juni organiseert Varia 'The Ecosystem Is Moving', een lezing door en een werksessie met Daniel Gultsch over federatieve chat diensten, open source software en de duurzaamheid van open systemen.
-
-
1 juni 19.00 - 22.00 uur - introductie tot XMPP en lezing door Daniel Gultsch
-
2 juni, 10.00 - 18.00 uur - werkessie rondom vormgeving en federatieve chat systemen. Registreer voor deze werksessie door een mailtje te sturen naar info * varia.zone
-
-
Daniel Gultsch is de ontwikkelaar achter Conversations, een open source instant messaging-applicatie voor Android. In 2014 besloot hij om voltijds te werken aan Conversations en daar ook van proberen te leven. In plaats van helemaal opnieuw met Conversations te beginnen, bouwde hij een nieuwe client voor het bestaande gefedereerde chatprotocol XMPP.
-
Omdat een XMPP-applicatie in feite maar net zo goed kan zijn als het hele ecosysteem waar het onderdeel van is, was er voor Daniel een noodzaak om naast zijn werk aan Conversations ook bij te dragen aan het uitbreiden en verbeteren van dat grotere XMPP-ecosysteem. Deze werkzaamheden omvatten het helpen opstellen en implementeren van protocolstandaarden. OMEMO, een moderne en gebruiksvriendelijke end-to-end encryptie op basis van het protocol van Signal is daar een voorbeeld van. Hij draagt ook code bij aan andere XMPP-servers en -clients in het ecosysteem om ze te helpen te moderniseren. Daarnaast is hij via zijn kritische essays een uitgesproken voorstander van XMPP en open standaarden in het algemeen.
-
Conversations is een uitzonderlijk project, omdat het door de aanhoudende focus op gebruikerservaring, ontwerp en beveiliging veel belangstelling heeft vergaard voor zowel zichzelf als ook het XMPP-ecosysteem als geheel. Dit maakt het een interessant voorbeeld om vanuit te bevragen hoe het ontwerpveld zou kunnen bijdragen aan kritieke softwarepraktijken.

Welcome to the Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is gebaseerd op een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' onlinediensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presenaties en werksessies worden in de context van dit project verschillende evenementen georganiseerd rond softwareprojecten die werken aan deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die opnieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, deels door hun focus op ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).
-
De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: Welcome to the � Federation(engelstalig).

Dit project wordt mogelijk gemaakt met de steun van CBK Rotterdam.

-
Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke homebrew netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze host een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze infrastructour onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden. In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep.
-
Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van self-hosting een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.
Met bijdragen van: Simon Browne, Tancredi Di Giovanni, Paloma García, Rita Graça, Artemis Gryllaki, Pedro Sá Couto, Biyi Wen, Bohye Woo, Roel Roscam Abbing, Manetta Berends, Lídia Pereira, André Castro, Aymeric Mansoux, Michael Murtaugh, Steve Rushton, Leslie Robbins.

- The Secret Life Of Machine screenings, seizoen 2
-
Technologie is overal, al dan niet verscholen achter een masker van alledaagsheid, maar wat steekt er eigenlijk achter de stofzuiger, de telefoon en het kopieerapparaat? Wanneer deden deze machines hun intrede in onze levens en hoe houden we ze in bedwang? Al deze vragen en meer worden beantwoord door 'the secret life of machines'. In deze cultserie van de BBC (1988-1993) ontleedt ingenieur, cartoonist en schrijver Tim Hunkin samen met uitvinder Rex Garrod iedere aflevering de geschiedenis en werking van een alledaags apparaat. In de komende weken zal er bij varia, het centrum voor alledaagse technologie enkele keren een compleet seizoen van deze show te zien zijn.

- The Secret Life Of Machine screenings, seizoen 3
-
Technologie is overal, al dan niet verscholen achter een masker van alledaagsheid, maar wat steekt er eigenlijk achter de stofzuiger, de telefoon en het kopieerapparaat? Wanneer deden deze machines hun intrede in onze levens en hoe houden we ze in bedwang? Al deze vragen en meer worden beantwoord door 'the secret life of machines'. In deze cultserie van de BBC (1988-1993) ontleedt ingenieur, cartoonist en schrijver Tim Hunkin samen met uitvinder Rex Garrod iedere aflevering de geschiedenis en werking van een alledaags apparaat. In de komende weken zal er bij varia, het centrum voor alledaagse technologie enkele keren een compleet seizoen van deze show te zien zijn.

Varia opent op 12 mei haar deuren voor een middag met informele presentaties, kopjes koffie of thee en workshops rondom vrije software1 en elektronica.
-
Gedurende de dag vinden de volgende activiteiten plaats:
-
Linux Presentation Day (hele dag)
-
Klaar met Microsoft Windows of Mac OS? Is je computer verouderd of kun je de software niet meer bijwerken? Dan is het tijd om Linux te proberen! Het Linux Presentation Day team dat eerdere edities in Leeszaal West heeft georganiseerd staat nu voor je klaar in varia. Wil je jou oude computer nieuw leven inblazen? Vergeet deze dan niet mee te nemen. Dan kun je daar Linux op uit proberen of hulp te krijgen bij het installeren!
-
Adblocken voor beginners (hele dag)
-
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.
-
Solderen kan je leren (14:00 - 16:00)
-
Maak kennis met elektronica door samen met wat onderdelen, een vaste hand en hulp van ons een mini boombox in elkaar te zetten! Neem je favoriete muziek, een oude (micro) SD-kaart en 5 euro voor materialen mee. 12 jaar en ouder. Geef je van tevoren op door ons een mail te sturen.
-
Graphic tool-test-party (15:00 - 16:00)
-
Ben je benieuwd naar andere grafische softwarepaketten dan Photoshop? 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.

Vrije software verwijst naar een beweging die door middel van vrije licenties gebruikers het recht geeft om software te gebruiken, bestuderen, aan te passen en te distribueren. Het is gestoeld in gemeenschappen die software gebruiken, schrijven en onderhouden. Van hele professionele server software tot hele experimentele grafische software. Vrije software is een gedeelde interesse en manier van werken voor varia die we graag laten zien! ↩

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.
DJ Knapzak toont het hypnotiserende effect van roterende schijven gemaakt van vinyl die op verschillende snelheden in contact komen met een min of meer stabiele naald. Het effect is verrassend!

We zijn in het jaar 1986. Als je thuis komt van het skaten vind je een mysterieuze Nintendo spelcasette. Nieuwsgierig naar wat er op staat snel je naar een vriend die net een spelconsole heeft gekocht. Jullie grijpen de casette en stoppen hem in de Nintendo ...

What Remains is een gloednieuw, duister humoristisch computerspel voor de Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) uit 1985, ontwikkeld door Iodine Dynamics. De game is momenteel in haar laatste ontwikkelfase belandt en zal in 2018 vrij worden uitgebracht. Met 'vrij' bedoelen we een gratis NES ROM-download en we zullen de broncode en artworks van de game en tools die we hebben gebruikt publiceren. Tevens zal er een gelimiteerde oplage aan fysieke, NES en Famicom casettes van gerecyclede hardware worden geproduceerd.
-
Tijdens de ontwikkeling van het spel heeft Iodine Dynamics in samenwerking met Het Nieuwe Instituut voorzonderzoek gedaan en bij V2_ de eerste playtests georganiseerd. Op 22 juni organiseert Varia de laatste playtest voor het spel en we zijn op zoek naar spelers die ons nog één keer feedback willen geven!

-
Op 23, 24 en 25 november tijdens Woodstone Kugelblitz Druk in Varia gaan we een receptenboek maken.
-Een handleiding om meer te ageren en minder te consumeren in het dagelijks leven.
-
Deze driedaagse gemoedelijke boeksprint gaat over het uitwisselen van kennis over analoge druktechniek, samen koken & eten, het delen van recepten uit- en voor het dagelijkse leven, het bespreken van Écht Nuttige Kennis, samen zijn en het redigeren en vormgeven van de publicatie.
-
Een oproep voor Écht Nuttige Recepten!
-
Voor de publicatie zijn we op zoek naar doe-het-zelf advies, tips en handleidingen die opgenomen moeten worden in het receptenboek zodat het onderdeel kan worden van ons collectieve geheugen. Zo hebben we bijvoorbeeld al recepten over het opvoeden van peuters zonder luiers, het blokkeren van online advertenties op de computer en het maken van sambal op basis van lactosefermentatie!
-
Alle soorten recepten uit het dagelijkse leven zijn hiervoor welkom.
-
Deze recepten kunnen gewoon als platte tekst worden ingediend of al reeds voorzien van een vormgeving.
-
Stuur het materiaal per post of email voor 15 november naar:
-info[at]varia.zone of Gouwstraat 3, 3082 BA, Rotterdam vóór 15 november.
Als je wilt meedoen met de boeksprint zelf, stuur ons dan een e-mailtje (info[at]varia.zone). Let wel dat we op zoek zijn naar mensen die er gedurende de drie dagen kunnen zijn om de continuïteit en concentratie te kunnen behouden voor het maken van de publicatie!

About
-
Varia is een Rotterdams initiatief dat in 2017 is ontstaan vanuit de behoefte om de praktijken van de leden open te stellen en ad hoc publieke of semi-publieke momenten te organiseren in verschillende configuraties. In de kern is Varia gericht op het ontwikkelen van kritische inzichten in de technologieën om ons heen. Varia experimenteert met verschillende intrumenten en tools om op een collectieve manier fysieke en digitale infrastructuren te ontwikkelen.
-
Onze manier om samen te zijn als een collectieve ruimte wordt omschreven in de volgende documenten: onze Code of Conduct die onze gedeelde waarden en gedragsregels beschrijft, ons collectief statement die de positie van Varia contextualiseert, en lidmaatschapsrichtlijnen waar u meer kunt lezen over ons ledenmodel.

Varia's Code of Conduct
-
Over dit document
-
De Code of Conduct beschrijft een reeks richtlijnen die helpen bij het vaststellen van gedeelde waarden. Ze zorgen ervoor dat gedrag dat deelnemers kan schaden, wordt vermeden.
-
Dit document is van toepassing op de leden en bezoekers van Varia, inclusief de organisatoren van evenementen en mensen waarmee we samenwerken. Het document is ook van toepassing op de gebruikers, beheerders en makers van de online omgevingen van Varia. Wanneer het woord "wij" in dit document wordt gebruikt, is dit van toepassing op al de bovenstaande.
-
We erkennen dat we allemaal van verschillende achtergronden komen en bepaalde vooroordelen en privileges hebben. Daarom kan deze Code of Conduct niet alle vormen omvatten waarop mensen zich buitengesloten, onveilig of ongemakkelijk kunnen voelen. We willen ruimte maken voor een open gesprek. Daarom is deze Code of Conduct nooit af en moet deze worden gewijzigd wanneer dat nodig is. We zullen het document in de loop van de tijd aanpassen, zodat deze altijd de prioriteiten en gevoeligheden binnen Varia behandelt. Het is de collectieve verantwoordelijkheid van ons allemaal om dit document na te leven en naar de fysieke en digitale ruimte van Varia te brengen.
-
Waarom een Code of Conduct?
-
Varia is een complexe collectieve ruimte. Wij zijn een meertalige, multiculturele, multidisciplinaire groep. Bij Varia spreken we voornamelijk Engels en Nederlands. We houden rekening met het feit dat de meeste van onze leden en bezoekers geen native speakers van deze talen zijn. We erkennen ook dat er vele manieren van spreken en communiceren zijn (woorden, gebaren, daden, enz.), afhankelijk van culturele achtergronden, opleidingen en praktijken. Hierdoor kunnen situaties ontstaan waar misverstanden of conflicten optreden. We streven ernaar om deze misverstanden op te lossen door middel van een open dialoog: we geven er de voorkeur aan om uit te gaan van de goede intenties van de leden, deelnemers en bezoekers. Daarom vragen we hen om hun bezorgdheden indien mogelijk rechtstreeks aan elkaar kenbaar te maken. Wanneer dit geen optie is, kan deze Code van Coduct worden geraadpleegd voor verdere acties.
-
Varia is een leeromgeving en biedt ruimte aan een brede reeks praktijken. Samenwerken betekent kloven overbruggen: tussen verschillende praktijken, niveaus van technische expertise, persoonlijke voorkeuren en politieke of ethische oriëntaties. We streven ernaar een omgeving te creëren voor deelnemers met verschillende ervaringsgebieden, waar complexe onderwerpen kunnen worden besproken.
-
We willen dat Varia een ruimte is waar alle leden hun praktijken in een collectieve setting kunnen ontwikkelen en mensen zich veilig en comfortabel voelen om deel te nemen, zich uit te drukken, te leren en samen te werken. De kwetsbare aard van collectief werk betekent dat ongemakkelijke situaties zullen voorkomen. Deze situaties vragen om wederzijds respect en zorg. We hopen dat iedereen die deelneemt aan Varia respectvol is, zich kwetsbaar durft op te stellen en zorgzaam is voor elkaar. In het belang van het creëren van een inclusieve omgeving, tolereren we geen intimidatie, uitsluiting of ander schadelijk gedrag.
-
Gewenst gedrag
-
Bij Varia zien we graag:
-
attentheid
-
ten opzichte van elkaar, de ruimte die we betreden, de mensen in Varia en de praktijken die er gevestigd zijn.
-
-
openheid
-
Probeer geen aannames te maken over anderen. Dit kunnen onder meer vooronderstellingen zijn over identiteit, kennis, ervaringen of gewenste voornaamwoorden. Wees gul met elkaars tijd en mogelijkheden. Help anderen, indien gewenst. Er zijn veel manieren om bij te dragen aan een collectieve praktijk. Die kunnen verschillen van onze individuele manieren.
-
-
respect
-
voor verschillende standpunten en ervaringen. Respecteer fysieke en emotionele grenzen. Ga respectvol om met elkaars beperkte tijd en energie. Neem elkaar en elkaars praktijken serieus. Erken dat dit kan leiden tot onenigheid. Meningsverschil is echter geen excuus voor slechte manieren.
-
-
verantwoordelijkheid
-
Kom beloftes na wanneer je deze maakt. We nemen verantwoordelijkheid voor de goede dingen die we doen, maar ook voor de slechte. We luisteren naar en reageren op respectvolle feedback. We corrigeren onszelf indien nodig. We houden er rekening mee dat de impact van onze woorden en handelingen op andere mensen niet altijd overeenkomen met onze intentie.
-
-
toewijding
-
Samen maken we de groep. We nemen hier deel aan met zelfrespect en putten onszelf niet uit. Dit kan betekenen dat we zeggen hoe we ons voelen, grenzen stellen en duidelijk zijn over onze verwachtingen. Van niemand wordt verwacht perfect te zijn in deze gemeenschap. Vragen stellen voorkomt problemen later. Probeer ontvankelijk en behulpzaam te zijn, als er vragen worden gesteld.
-
-
empathie
-
We luisteren actief naar elkaar en proberen discussies niet te domineren. Geef een ander de kans om zich te verbeteren en biedt deze de gelegenheid om verantwoordelijkheid op zich te nemen. We creëren ruimte voor anderen. We zijn ons bewust van elkaars gevoelens, bieden ondersteuning waar nodig en weten wanneer we een stap terug moeten doen. Iemands idee van zorg kan verschillen van hoe een ander verzorgd willen worden. We vragen eerst of onze hulp gewenst is.
-
-
inclusiviteit
-
Geef anderen de kans om hun standpunten te uiten, vaardigheden te delen en andere bijdragen te leveren. Samen zijn is iets waar we actief aan werken en vereist conversatie. We erkennen dat niet iedereen dezelfde kansen heeft, daarom moeten we gevoelig zijn voor de context waarin we opereren. Er zijn impliciete hiërarchieën die we kunnen betwisten, en we moeten ernaar streven dat te doen. Wanneer we iets organiseren (projecten, evenementen, enz.), denken we na over hoe we rekening kunnen houden met de behoeften van anderen, een activistische houding kunnen bevorderen en andere stemmen kunnen ondersteunen.
-
-
Onacceptabel gedrag
-
Geen discriminatie,
-
handelingen of opmerkingen die de onderdrukking van groepen of mensen bevorderen of versterken op basis van geslacht, genderidentiteit en expressie, ras, etniciteit, nationaliteit, seksualiteit, seksuele geaardheid, religie, handicap, psychische aandoeningen, neurodiversiteit, persoonlijk uiterlijk, fysiek uiterlijk, leeftijd of klasse. Beweer geen "*reverse-isms*", bijvoorbeeld "*reverse racism*".
-
-
Geen intimidatie of pesterijen,
-
noch openbaar, noch privé. Ook geen opzettelijke intimidatie, stalken, achtervolgen, lastigvallen, verstoring van evenementen, agressieve, lasterlijke, denigrerende of bedreigende opmerkingen online of persoonlijk en ongewenst fysiek of elektronisch contact of seksuele aandacht. We tollereren geen laster, achterklap of het verspreiden van andere desinformatie.
-
-
Geen schending van privacy,
-
waaronder het publiceren van privé-informatie van anderen, zoals een fysiek of elektronisch adres. Maak of publiceer geen foto's of opnames van anderen nadat diegene heeft verzocht om dat niet te doen. Verwijder opnames indien gevraagd.
-
-
Geen seksuele intimidatie,
-
waaronder ongewenste seksuele taal, afbeeldingen, handelingen of aandacht.
-
-
Geen destructief gedrag,
-
of enig ander gedrag dat redelijkerwijs als ongepast kan worden beschouwd. Dit omvat afbeeldingen van geweld zonder inhoudswaarschuwingen, het constant en doelbewust ontsporen van gesprekken, of ander gedrag dat het vermogen van anderen om deel te nemen aan de groep of de ruimte voortdurend verstoort.
-
-
Interventieprocedure
-
Onmiddelijke interventie (hulp is direct nodig!)
-
Als je je onveilig voelt, kan er onmiddellijk contact worden opgenomen met de Varia-leden die ervoor moeten zorgen dat de Code Of Conduct wordt nageleefd. Deze contactpersonen zijn leden van Varia die hun best zullen doen om te helpen, of om de juiste hulp te vinden indien nodig.
Bijvoorbeeld: Er gebeurt iets tijdens een evenement en er moet onmiddellijk op worden gereageerd. Er zal onmiddellijk actie worden ondernomen wanneer deze overtreding van de Code Of Conduct wordt gemeld. Dit kan betekenen dat een deelnemer uit een evenement wordt verwijderd.
-
Niet-onmiddelijke interventie (een situatie vraagt meer tijd)
-
Sommige overtredingen vragen niet direct om actie, maar moeten door meerdere mensen op een meer afgemeten manier worden overwogen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn: als je een voortdurend patroon van intimidatie ervaart; je bent getuige van structureel onaanvaardbaar gedrag; iemand blijft "per ongeluk" discriminerende taal gebruiken, nadat hem is gevraagd om te stoppen.
-
Probeer, indien mogelijk, de problemen allereerst zelf met de betrokken partijen te bespreken voordat je een bemiddelaar raadpleegt. Wij geven er de voorkeur aan om meningsverschillen op een constructieve manier op te lossen en samen te werken om dingen recht te zetten, zolang dit mogelijk en veilig is. Als de problemen echter blijven bestaan, kunnen degenen die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de handhaving van de Code Of Conduct je helpen dit aan te pakken. Neem contact op met de hierboven genoemde leden. Gevoelige informatie zal met zorg worden behandeld.

Collectieve infrastructuren
-
We ondervragen vormen van digitale afhankelijkheid door onze digitale infrastructuur zelf te hosten. De leden van Varia zijn betrokken bij het gebruik en de ontwikkeling van gefedereerde netwerken zoals XMPP-groepschats en Mastodon-instanties, RSS-feeds, beschikbaar in Nederlands en Engels, of de mailinglijst. Meer informatie over onze Online Hosting tools vindt je hieronder.
-
Ook de ruimte zelf is onderdeel van de collectieve infrastructuur. Hier beschikken leden over middelen zoals een elektronica depot, gereedschappen en werkbanken, en ook printfaciliteiten. Hieronder vindt je meer informatie over onze fysieke hosting.
-
Publiek programma
-
Vanuit het initiatief van de leden worden er verschillende evenementen in Varia georganiseerd.
-
Werkgroepen
-
De leden van Varia organiseren zich ook in kleinere werkgroepen. Op bepaalde dagen komen geïnteresseerden samen om te studeren, discussiëren of werken aan een specifiek onderwerp. Deze samenkomsten zijn soms ook toegankelijk voor het publiek.
-
De huidige werkgroepen zijn de homebrewserver.club, de Varia Bibliotheekgroep, Riso Group en pub.club.
-
Curriculum
-
Om vaardigheden binnen de groep te delen, biedt Varia een curriculum aan, gevormd door de praktijken en interesses van de leden.
Tijdens onze (open dagen)[https://varia.zone/en/tag/linux-presentation-day.html] organiseren we verschillende activiteiten, waaronder het installeren van Linux-besturingssystemen, het bespreken van gratis en open source ontwerpprogramma's en spelsessies.
-
Fysieke hosting
-
Wij zijn gevestigd op de hoek van de Gouwstraat en de Wolphaertstraat in Charlois, Rotterdam. We gebruiken onze ruimte om evenementen te organiseren en die van anderen te hosten. Wat er in de ruimte gebeurt, wordt gedocumenteerd en opgeslagen in ons archief. Als je je herkent in de interesses en waarden van Varia, neem dan gerust contact met ons op via info[@]varia.zone voor meer informatie.
-
Varia Bibliotheek
-
Er is een bescheiden fysieke bibliotheek in de ruimte, die tijdens publieke evenementen geraadpleegd kan worden.
-
Printers

Rotterdam's Electronica Depot
-
Doordat veel van de onafhankelijke elektronicawinkels in Rotterdam hun deuren permanent hebben gesloten, is het bijna onmogelijk geworden om op de fiets te stappen en snel elektronische onderdelen te kopen. Als reactie hierop heeft varia het Rotterdamse Elektronicadepot* opgericht, een community resource waar leden tegen kostprijs onderdelen kunnen kopen.
-
Online Hosting
-
Wij hosten meerdere tools en communicatie kanalen op de Varia-server. Ze zijn vrij te gebruiken door leden en Varia's directe omgeving, maar houd er wel rekening mee dat het doel van deze tools is om te experimenteren; ze zijn mogelijk onstabiel.
-
XMPP
-
Varia host een server voor het gefederaliseerde chatprotocol XMPP, die de nieuwste functies ondersteunt.
Neem contact met ons op als u een account op onze server wilt hebben.
-
Etherpad
-
Etherpad is een open source collectieve online schrijftool die de leden gebruiken om notities te maken, teksten te schrijven en elkaar op de hoogte te houden.
-
Etherdump
-
We werken met Etherdump om een collectieve schrijfpraktijk om te zetten in een gezamenlijke publicatiepraktijk. Etherdump is een command line tool die de mogelijkheden van Etherpad uitbreidt door de pad in meerdere formaten te exporteren. Om de verbonden combinatie van publiceren en samenwerken met Etherdump te verkennen en te onderzoeken, hebben we een fork van het project onder de naam Etherpump.
-
Code repositories
-
Als onderdeel van hun praktijk schrijven Varia leden gesitueerde software die we publiceren op onze Gitea instance.
-
Licentie
-
Praktijken rondom kopiëren, toe-eigenen, piraterij en delen zijn op verschillende manieren rommelig: zowel politiek, juridisch, cultureel als ook economisch gezien. Varia (her)overweegt op dit moment een collectief licentiebeleid. Copyright is vaak niet de optie waar we voor willen gaan, maar ook open licenties sluiten niet altijd aan. De meningen hierover verschillen in de groep of per situatie en zetten aan tot vragen, overwegingen en zorgvuldigheid. Al het materieel dat we op dit moment publiceren valt daardoor op dit moment onder copyright, tenzij anders vermeld.

Collectief statement
-
Varia is een collectieve ruimte1 in Rotterdam die zich richt op alledaagse technologie.
-
Wij zijn van mening dat technologie niet het exclusieve domein van specialisten moet zijn. Technologie beïnvloedt iedereen en zou verschillende manieren van leven mogelijk moeten maken, in plaats van deze uit te sluiten. We vatten alledaagse technologie breed op; niet alleen computers, standaarden of protocollen horen daarbij, maar bijvoorbeeld ook kookgereedschappen of muziekinstrumenten. Vanuit onze achtergrond in kunst, ontwerp, software & hardware, onderwijs en theoretische praktijk, voelen we de behoefte om een plek te vormen waar technologie en sociale vragen met elkaar verbonden zijn; een plek waar samenwerking, continuïteit, ontwikkeling, collectief leren, nieuwsgierigheid en experiment voorop staan.
-
De collectieve organisatievorm van Varia heeft overeenkomsten met bestaande collectieve ruimtes, zoals hackerspaces, fablabs en coworking-ruimtes, maar we zien ook de beperkingen van deze en willen daar graag aan voorbijgaan. Discussies over technologie richten zich niet altijd op de oneerlijke verdeling van macht tussen meerdere actoren, waaronder grote bedrijven en/of gebruikers en ontwikkelaars. Hierbij spelen klasse, ras, geslacht en vaardigheden een belangrijke rol. Binnen Varia proberen we ruimte te creeëren voor radicaal andere manieren om over technologie te denken in een social context.
-
Enkele van de vragen waar we ons mee bezighouden zijn: Hoe verhouden we ons tot onze digitale infrastructuur? Hoe gaan we om met vormen van afhankelijkheid zonder buitengesloten te worden? Hoe kunnen we inclusiviteit relateren aan technologie? Zijn oude technologieën echt ouderwets? Hoe gaan we om met veroudering en duurzaamheid?
-
Varia is voorstander van -- zonder deze bewegingen willen idealiseren -- Free/Libre en Open Source Software (F/LOSS), free culture, open standards, lowtech en DIY/DIWO-culture, omdat deze de mogelijkheid bieden om een ander heden te vormen en de deur open te laten voor gewenste toekomsten.
-
Varia is een collectieve ruimte voor vragen, meningen, interventies, hulp en actie. We faciliteren onder andere serverruimte, collectieve leermomenten en thematische werkgroepen. Daarnaast wordt onze ruimte regelmatig gebruikt om openbare evenementen in te organiseren, waaronder experimentele muziekavonden, werksessies en rondetafelgesprekken met gasten.
-
De collectieve, culturele praktijk van Varia biedt een solidaire omgeving voor de praktijken van de individuele leden, door verschillende disciplines en kennisgebieden met elkaar te verbinden. Dit stelt ons in staat om verschillende sociale en technologische infrastructuren te overwegen en te ontwikkelen, terwijl we er tegelijkertijd mee experimenteren en erover nadenken.
-
Als groep willen we niet één verenigde stem ontwikkelen, maar de diversiteit waaruit Varia bestaat omarmen en verwelkomen. We zijn ons ervan bewust dat onze werkwijzen en processen niet altijd leiden tot een afgewerkt product. Om deze reden willen we blijven experimenteren met verschillende vormen van interactie en publicatie.
-
Varia voelt zich thuis in Rotterdam en zoekt aansluiting bij lokale, onafhankelijke initiatieven en urgenties. Wij vinden het belangrijk om problemen in onze lokale omgeving te verbinden met wereldwijde discussies en vice versa. Varia werkt samen met individuen, collectieven, organisaties zonder winstoogmerk, onderwijsinstellingen, verenigingen en internationale netwerken, die nieuwsgierig zijn naar het situeren van de samenhang tussen technologische en sociale kwesties.

Varia is niet alleen een collectief, en niet alleen een ruimte. Varia is een verbonden combinatie van beide. ↩

Lidmaatschapsrichtlijnen
-
Rechten en plichten van leden
-
Leden dragen niet alleen financieel bij aan Varia, maar ook met tijd en energie. Ze nemen deel aan de maandelijkse ledenvergaderingen en kunnen onderdeel worden van het bestuur om specifieke verantwoordelijkheden op zich te nemen. Lidmaatschap is gebaseerd op wederzijds vertrouwen en solidariteit: als een lid af en toe niet kan bijdragen aan Varia (financieel of anderszins), leidt dit niet tot een onmiddellijke repercussie, maar zal er eerst naar mogelijke oplossingen wordt gekeken. We zijn ons er wel van bewust dat een gebrek aan bijdrage op de lange termijn niet houdbaar is voor de groep als geheel.
-
Leden dragen zorg voor de ruimte, voor elkaar en voor bezoekers (zie onze Code of Conduct). Ze kunnen de collectieve ruimte van Varia gebruiken en daar evenementen organiseren, rekening houdend met de collectieve ambities van Varia en haar omgeving.
-
Leden worden vaak informeel gecontacteerd door externe partijen die nieuwsgierig zijn naar Varia of die met ons willen samenwerken. We verwachten van leden dat ze open zijn over de kansen die uit Varia voortkomen, zoals projectopdrachten of uitnodigingen voor een lezing of workshop. Wanneer een lid inkomsten genereert via Varia, wordt 15% daarvan geïnvesteerd in Varia's common fund, waarvan we onder andere de door Varia geïnitieerde activiteiten mogelijk maken: concerten, uitwisselingsreizen, aankopen van apparatuur, enz.
-
Leden hebben een sleutel van onze collectieve ruimte. Varia is geen gedeelde studioruimte, maar leden kunnen er wel werken. Dit betekent dat zij, met hun spullen, niet permanent hun intrek in de ruimte kunnen nemen en de verantwoordelijkheid hebben om de ruimte schoon en presentabel te houden. Dit is nodig omdat de ruimte wordt gebruikt voor een verscheidenheid aan activiteiten, variërend van filmvertoningen, workshops, vergaderingen en meer...
-
Wie kan lid worden?
-
Lidmaatschap kan worden verkregen wanneer men geïnteresseerd is in het ontwikkelen van een collectieve benadering in het bestuderen, aanpassen en experimenteren met alledaagse technologieën.
-
De huidige leden hebben een achtergrond in kunst, design, softwarestudies, musicologie, choreografie, koken, theoretische en sociale praktijken. Nieuwe leden hoeven geen vergelijkbare achtergrond te hebben; wat telt is dat ze bereid zijn hun interesses en expertise in de collectieve praktijk van Varia binnen te brengen.
-
Hoe wordt je lid?
-
Als je geïnteresseerd bent om lid te worden, verwijzen we je graag naar Varia's Code of Conduct en Onze Context documenten, om op de hoogte te komen van waar we voor staan en wat we belangrijk vinden. We staan open voor contact via info@varia.zone en zijn ook benaderbaar tijdens onze evenementen. Hierna kunnen we je meer vertellen over onze aanmeldingsprocedure. Varia behoudt zich het recht om aanvragen te accepteren of af te wijzen, maar zal desondanks zoveel mogelijk transparantie proberen te geven over het verloop van het proces.
-
Hoewel we openstaan voor het uitbreiden van onze groep, zien we een plezierige collectieve dynamiek als doorslaggevend wanneer het aankomt op het aannemen van nieuwe leden. Momenteel hebben we niet de capaciteit om te veel nieuwe leden aan Varia toe te voegen. We streven ernaar een evenwicht te vinden tussen de grootte van de groep en de wens van nieuwe leden om lid te worden.

During this evening we focus on the archiving of the Pushing Scores project by DE PLAYER; 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 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 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 (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.

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.

Eind vorige jaar benaderde De PlayerVaria 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.

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 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 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 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 (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.

- RecycleReduceReuse and where is Repair Workshop (full)
-
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.

- RecycleReduceReuse and waar is Repair Workshop (vol)
-
In de afgelopen paar eeuwen hebben snelle veranderingen in technologie, economische fluctuatie, technologische vervanging en geplande veroudering geleid tot een snelgroeiend overschot aan (elektronisch) afval over de hele wereld. Er is een eveneens groeiende vraag ontstaan voor het opnieuw gebruiken, repareren, verwijderen en bergen van dit materiaal, waarbij verschillende methoden worden toegepast die elk hun eigen impact hebben op de economie en het milieu. Hieruit vloeien enkele relevante vragen:
-
-
Welke waarden construeren onze hedendaagse houding tegenover afval?
-
Is het misschien een obsessie met nuttigheid?
-
Wat zijn de artistieke verdiensten van reparatie?
-
-
In deze workshop, georganiseerd door Yoana Buzova en Niek Hilkmann, zullen we de implicaties van de recycling van (elektronisch) afval bekijken. Dit gebeurt in een praktische workshop waarin we plaatsen bezoeken waar 'afval' wordt verzameld om vervolgens het concept van reparatie en recyclage op zijn kop zet. Uitgaande van het idee dat nutteloosheid, net als een haiku-gedicht, een bepaald subversief potentieel bevat, zullen we een gebruiksvoorwerp reparen tot iets volkomen nutteloos.

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.

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.
-
Friday 7th June 20:00 - 22:00
-Relearn public evening program: embed yourself into Relearn

-
If you would like to join this Relearn session, please send an email to 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.

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
-

-
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.

Als je mee wilt doen aan Relearn, stuur ons dan een mail op 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 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.

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) 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 for a legal way to buy the game).

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) 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 waar het spel verkocht wordt).

"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.

During our third screening of Century 21 Calling, we will be taking a
-look at the development of satellite communications. From the shiny orbs
-of the 1950s to our present day SATCOM systems.
-
How do they work? How do they get into space? What happens when the
-systems break down? Why are there no more shiny orb satellites in space?
-
This and many more questions will put into the light of today, via the
-present.
-
Later in the evening you can join mmths on a trip through the radio
-spectrum, to listen to the satellite pirates in GEO Oribt and drown in
-the noise of the static and signals of ghost satellites.
-
mmths is a sound artist currently based in Rotterdam. In his practice,
-he often is fascinated by outer space activities. His current research
-deals with harvesting satellite transmissions and signal hunting as a
-tool for exploring live performance and composition.
-
In a series of screenings called “Century 21 Calling” we will have a
-look at archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports
-and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of
-tomorrow and we hold it up to the light of the present.
-
“Century 21 Calling” is an event by the collective Save_as and hosted at
-Varia in Rotterdam.

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,
-infomercials van bedrijven, tv uitzendingen en documentaires die in het
-verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd en gebruikt die om het
-heden te doorgronden. Het is een initiatief van Save_as en vindt plaats
-in Varia in Rotterdam.

- Welcome to the � Federation - The Ecosystem is Moving
-
On the 1st and 2nd of June Varia will host 'The Ecosystem Is Moving', a lecture by and worksession with Daniel Gultsch about federated instant messaging, open source software and the sustainability of open systems.
-
-
June 1st, 19.00 - 22.00 - introduction to XMPP and lecture by Daniel Gultsch
-
June 2nd, 10.00 - 18.00 - hands on worksession on design and federated chat systems. Please register for the worksession via info * varia.zone
-
-
Daniel Gultsch is the developer behind Conversations, an open source instant messaging application for Android. In 2014, he decided to work full time on Conversations and try to make a living from it. Rather than starting from scratch with Conversations, he built it as a client for the existing federated messaging protocol XMPP.
-
Since an XMPP messenger can, in a way, only be as good as the entire ecosystem, Daniels work on Conversations also meant work on expanding and improving that larger XMPP ecosystem. This work includes helping to draft and implement protocol standards, such as OMEMO, a modern and user-friendly end-to-end encryption based on Signal's protocol. He also contributed code to other XMPP servers and clients in the ecosystem to bring them up to speed with modern uses. Additionally, through his critical essays he is a vocal defender of XMPP and open standards in general.
-
Conversations is notable because, through its continuous focus on user experience, design and security it has garnered a lot of interest for both itself and the XMPP ecosystem as a whole. This makes it an interesting example to talk about what the design field could potentially contribute to critical software practices.

-
Welcome to the � Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is grounded in a renewed interest in 'alternative' on-line services such as social media and chat. Through meetings and worksessions the project hosts various events around software projects that are working towards these ecosystems. A particular focus will lie on those projects whose activities have reinvigorated interest for their underlying protocols, in part by their focusing on design, language and user experience (UX).
-
The Wtt�F question is to explore how arts and design communities can play a supportive role in these processes by contributing skills, knowledge, time and exposure. For more information please visit: Welcome to the � Federation

Daniel Gultsch is de ontwikkelaar achter Conversations, een open source instant messaging-applicatie voor Android. In 2014 besloot hij om voltijds te werken aan Conversations en daar ook van proberen te leven. In plaats van helemaal opnieuw met Conversations te beginnen, bouwde hij een nieuwe client voor het bestaande gefedereerde chatprotocol XMPP.
-
Omdat een XMPP-applicatie in feite maar net zo goed kan zijn als het hele ecosysteem waar het onderdeel van is, was er voor Daniel een noodzaak om naast zijn werk aan Conversations ook bij te dragen aan het uitbreiden en verbeteren van dat grotere XMPP-ecosysteem. Deze werkzaamheden omvatten het helpen opstellen en implementeren van protocolstandaarden. OMEMO, een moderne en gebruiksvriendelijke end-to-end encryptie op basis van het protocol van Signal is daar een voorbeeld van. Hij draagt ook code bij aan andere XMPP-servers en -clients in het ecosysteem om ze te helpen te moderniseren. Daarnaast is hij via zijn kritische essays een uitgesproken voorstander van XMPP en open standaarden in het algemeen.
-
Conversations is een uitzonderlijk project, omdat het door de aanhoudende focus op gebruikerservaring, ontwerp en beveiliging veel belangstelling heeft vergaard voor zowel zichzelf als ook het XMPP-ecosysteem als geheel. Dit maakt het een interessant voorbeeld om vanuit te bevragen hoe het ontwerpveld zou kunnen bijdragen aan kritieke softwarepraktijken.

Welcome to the Federation
-
Welcome to the � Federation is gebaseerd op een hernieuwde interesse in 'alternatieve' onlinediensten zoals sociale media en chat. Door middel van presenaties en werksessies worden in de context van dit project verschillende evenementen georganiseerd rond softwareprojecten die werken aan deze ecosystemen. Een bijzondere focus zal liggen op projecten die opnieuw enthousiasme hebben aangewakkerd voor hun onderliggende protocollen, deels door hun focus op ontwerp, taal en gebruikerservaring (UX).
-
De Wtt�F-vraag richt zich op het onderzoeken hoe kunst- en ontwerpgemeenschappen een ondersteunende rol kunnen spelen in deze processen door zowel vaardigheden, kennis of tijd bij te dragen als ook aandacht voor de projecten te genereren. Meer informatie over dit project kun je vinden op: Welcome to the � Federation(engelstalig).

We traveled from home to home by bicycle, setting up homeservers. As friends and companions on this Infrastructour, we studied our routers over drinks served by our hosts. Where possible we installed our servers in our homes, in other cases we had to depend on another member of the group.
-
While self-hosting together we questioned our understandings of networks, autonomy, online publishing and social infrastructures, where each of us departed from a different question. We would like to share our personal (yet interconnected) routes with you, tell you a story, present our web- and printed zines, and invite you to explore our homebrewed network.

Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke homebrew netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze host een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze infrastructour onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden. In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep.
-
Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van self-hosting een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.

Technologie is overal, al dan niet verscholen achter een masker van alledaagsheid, maar wat steekt er eigenlijk achter de stofzuiger, de telefoon en het kopieerapparaat? Wanneer deden deze machines hun intrede in onze levens en hoe houden we ze in bedwang? Al deze vragen en meer worden beantwoord door 'the secret life of machines'. In deze cultserie van de BBC (1988-1993) ontleedt ingenieur, cartoonist en schrijver Tim Hunkin samen met uitvinder Rex Garrod iedere aflevering de geschiedenis en werking van een alledaags apparaat. In de komende weken zal er bij varia, het centrum voor alledaagse technologie enkele keren een compleet seizoen van deze show te zien zijn.

- THE SOCIAL IN THE MEDIA: On Digital Interdependencies (Varia Visits ODD)
-
In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with ODD, a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:
-
-
One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.
-
The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.

-
We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.
-
After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.
-
Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.
-
We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.
-
Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the Welcome to the Federation project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.

-
An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing through leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "PUBLISH" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.
-
For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project Pushing Scores, developed by Cristina and Julie, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.

Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools. We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the Feminist Server Manifesto). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.

-# Contributing to Fork Awesome
-
-Looking to contribute something to Fork Awesome? **Here's how you can help.**
-
-## Requesting new icons
-
-New icons mostly start as requests by the [Fork Awesome community on GitHub](../../issues). Want to request a new icon? Here are some things to keep in mind:
-
-1. Please be nice. Fork Awesome is a happy place.
-2. Please [search](../../search?type=Issues) to see if your icon request already exists. If a request is found, please add a 👍 reaction to that one.
-4. Please make requests for single icons, unless you are requesting a couple of strictly related icons (e.g., thumbs-up/thumbs-down).
-5. Please and thank you if you include the following:
- - Title your [new issue](../../issues/new?title=Icon%20Request:%20icon-) `Icon request: icon-name` (e.g., `Icon request: icon-car`).
- - Include a few use cases for your requested icon. How do you plan on using it?
- - Attach or link to a single color image or two that represent the idea you're going for.
- - Request concrete objects: it's harder to make an icon to represent happiness, it's easier to make a smiley face. ☺
-
-
-## Adding a new icon
-
-Adding a new icon is a couple steps process that will require your attention and eyes for details. It might be a bit intimidating at the beginning, but should be easy to repeat once you've gone through it once or twice.
-
-0. Follow the [README.md](README.md#building-fork-awesome) to install the necessary tools.
-1. All icons are originally designed in SVG and fit in a grid (see `src/icons/icon-template-inkscape.svg` for a template for Inkscape).
-2. Most icons should fit a square that is centered vertically and aligned left in that template. (Try importing existing icons in that template to understand how they fit.)
-3. Design your icon in black only. No transparency. No gradient. Use simple shapes and forms. Note that it will be automatically transformed into a glyph. So if the design is complex, it might not show in the font as expected. Change a few things and try again if that happens.
-4. From the `src/icons` folder, use the `make` command to build the icon font. It will also generate a file called `src/icons/forkawesome/forkawesome-preview.html`. Open it with a browser and search your icon on the test page. This preview file will show you how your design behaves after conversion. It will also automatically associate a unicode code point for it. Be sure remember it.
-5. Once you are satisfied with your design and the preview of it. Add the icon name, unicode point and icon information at the bottom of the `src/icons/icons.yml` file. Look at other entries to see how it's done and to give it a proper classification.
-6. Once all this is done, commit your changes and make a pull request.
-
-
-## Suggesting icon keyword addition/removal
-
-Icon filters are maintained by the [Fork Awesome community on GitHub](../../pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Adoc).
-
-If you feel that an icon
-
-* is missing keyword(s)
-* contains invalid keyword(s)
-
-please send a [PR](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to the `master` branch.
-
-
-## Reporting issues
-
-We only accept issues that are icon requests, bug reports, or feature requests. Bugs must be isolated and reproducible problems that we can fix within the Fork Awesome core. Please read the following guidelines to ensure you are the paragon of bug reporting.
-
-1. **Search for existing issues.** We get a lot of duplicate issues, and you'd help us out a lot by first checking if someone else has reported the same issue. Moreover, the issue may have already been resolved with a fix available.
-2. **Create an isolated and reproducible test case.** Be sure the problem exists in Fork Awesome's code with a [reduced test case](http://css-tricks.com/reduced-test-cases/) that should be included in each bug report.
-3. **Include a live example.** Make use of jsFiddle, jsBin, or Codepen to share your isolated test cases.
-4. **Share as much information as possible.** Include operating system and version, browser and version, version of Fork Awesome, etc. where appropriate. Also include steps to reproduce the bug.
-
-
-## Key branches
-
-- `master` is the latest, deployed version
-- `gh-pages` is the hosted docs (not to be used for pull requests)
-
-## Notes on the repo
-
-Fork Awesome's CSS, LESS, SCSS, and documentation are all powered by Jekyll templates and built before each commit and release.
-- `_config.yml` - much of the site is driven off variables from this file, including Font Awesome and Bootstrap versions
-- `src/doc/` - All edits to documentation, LESS, SCSS, and CSS should be made to files and templates in this directory
-- `src/icons/icons.yml` - all LESS, SCSS, and CSS icon definitions are driven off this single file
-
-
-## Pull requests
-
-- Any changes to the docs must be made to the Liquid templates in the `src/doc` directory
-- Any changes to the styles must be made to the .less and .scss files in the `src/doc` directory
-- If modifying the .less and .scss files, always recompile and commit the compiled files
-- Try to share which browsers your code has been tested in before submitting a pull request
-
-
-## Coding standards: HTML
-
-- Two spaces for indentation, never tabs
-- Double quotes only, never single quotes
-- Always use proper indentation
-- Use tags and elements appropriate for an HTML5 doctype (e.g., self-closing tags)
-
-
-## Coding standards: CSS
-
-- Adhere to the [Recess CSS property order](http://markdotto.com/2011/11/29/css-property-order/)
-- Multiple-line approach (one property and value per line)
-- Always a space after a property's colon (e.g., `display: block;` and not `display:block;`)
-- End all lines with a semi-colon
-- For multiple, comma-separated selectors, place each selector on its own line
-- Attribute selectors, like `input[type="text"]` should always wrap the attribute's value in double quotes, for consistency and safety (see this [blog post on unquoted attribute values](http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/unquoted-attribute-values) that can lead to XSS attacks)

-## Thanks
-
-Thanks to Bootstrap for their wonderful CONTRIBUTING.MD doc. It was modified to create this one.

-THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
-COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
-COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS
-AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
-
-BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE
-TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY

-1. Definitions
-
- a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and
- other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation,
- derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a
- literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes
- cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which the Work may be
- recast, transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably
- derived from the original, except that a work that constitutes a
- Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of
- this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
- work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in
- timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an
- Adaptation for the purpose of this License.
- b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as
- encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or
- broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other than works listed
- in Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection and
- arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in
- which the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along
- with one or more other contributions, each constituting separate and
- independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into a
- collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be
- considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of this
- License.
- c. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and
- copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or
- other transfer of ownership.
- d. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that
- offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
- e. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work,
- the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work
- or if no individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in
- addition (i) in the case of a performance the actors, singers,
- musicians, dancers, and other persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim,
- play in, interpret or otherwise perform literary or artistic works or
- expressions of folklore; (ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer
- being the person or legal entity who first fixes the sounds of a
- performance or other sounds; and, (iii) in the case of broadcasts, the
- organization that transmits the broadcast.
- f. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the terms
- of this License including without limitation any production in the
- literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or
- form of its expression including digital form, such as a book,
- pamphlet and other writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work
- of the same nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a
- choreographic work or entertainment in dumb show; a musical
- composition with or without words; a cinematographic work to which are
- assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography;
- a work of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or
- lithography; a photographic work to which are assimilated works
- expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work of applied
- art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch or three-dimensional work
- relative to geography, topography, architecture or science; a
- performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation of data to the
- extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by
- a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise
- considered a literary or artistic work.
- g. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
- License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with
- respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the
- Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
- violation.
- h. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and
- to communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or
- process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital
- performances; to make available to the public Works in such a way that
- members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a
- place individually chosen by them; to perform the Work to the public
- by any means or process and the communication to the public of the
- performances of the Work, including by public digital performance; to
- broadcast and rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs,
- sounds or images.
- i. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including
- without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of
- fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a
- protected performance or phonogram in digital form or other electronic
- medium.
-
-2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce,
-limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from
-limitations or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the
-copyright protection under copyright law or other applicable laws.
-
-3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
-Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
-perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
-exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
-
- a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
- Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
- Collections;
- b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation,
- including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to
- clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made
- to the original Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The
- original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a
- modification could indicate "The original work has been modified.";
- c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated
- in Collections; and,
- d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.
- e. For the avoidance of doubt:
-
- i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
- which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
- compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor
- reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any
- exercise by You of the rights granted under this License;
- ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
- which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
- compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the
- exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You
- of the rights granted under this License; and,
- iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to
- collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the
- Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers
- voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise
- by You of the rights granted under this License.
-
-The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now
-known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make
-such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in
-other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly
-granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.
-
-4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
-subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
-
- a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms
- of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
- Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You
- Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
- on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of
- the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that
- recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the
- Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and
- to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You
- Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly
- Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological
- measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the
- Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under
- the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as
- incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection
- apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
- License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You
- must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit
- as required by Section 4(b), as requested. If You create an
- Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
- practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by
- Section 4(b), as requested.
- b. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or
- Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to
- Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
- provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the
- name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied,
- and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party
- or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
- attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice,
- terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party
- or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the
- extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor
- specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not
- refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work;
- and (iv) , consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation,
- a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g.,
- "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay
- based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by
- this Section 4 (b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner;
- provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at
- a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing
- authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these
- credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the
- other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only
- use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution
- in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this
- License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any
- connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author,
- Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your
- use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written
- permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution
- Parties.
- c. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
- otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
- Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any
- Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or
- take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be
- prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor
- agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise
- of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to
- make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation,
- modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original
- Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert,
- as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the
- applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your
- right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations)
- but not otherwise.
-
-5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
-
-UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
-OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY
-KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE,
-INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY,
-FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF
-LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS,
-WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
-OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
-
-6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
-LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR
-ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
-ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS
-BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-7. Termination
-
- a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
- automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
- Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections
- from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
- terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
- compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
- survive any termination of this License.
- b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
- perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
- Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
- Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at
- any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
- withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
- required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
- License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as
- stated above.
-
-8. Miscellaneous
-
- a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection,
- the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same
- terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
- b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
- offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same
- terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
- c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
- applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
- the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action
- by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to
- the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
- enforceable.
- d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
- breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing
- and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
- e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
- respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings,
- agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified
- here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that
- may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be
- modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
- f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
- License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention
- for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on
- September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright
- Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996
- and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971).
- These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant
- jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced
- according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of
- those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the
- standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law
- includes additional rights not granted under this License, such
- additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this
- License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights under
- applicable law.

-names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
-however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The

-# Fork Awesome
-### A fork of the iconic font and CSS toolkit
-
-[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fork-awesome)
-[](CONTRIBUTORS.md)
-[](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/fork-awesome)
-[](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/fork-awesome)
-[](https://travis-ci.org/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome)
-
-Fork Awesome is a full suite of 744 pictographic icons for easy scalable vector graphics on websites, originally created by [Dave Gandy](https://twitter.com/davegandy) and now maintained by a community.
-
-Following concerns regarding [the development of Font Awesome](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/12199#issuecomment-362919956), the PR Freeze since Oct 2016 and the direction [Fort Awesome](https://fortawesome.com/) is taking with the version 5.0 of their project, we are forking Font Awesome (4.7), in order to build on this amazing tool Dave Gandy has given us, while at the same time allowing this project to be run by a distributed community of contributors.
-
-A tremendous gratitude is given to the whole team behind [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com), and you are encouraged to support them and buy Font Awesome Pro for your project.
-
-Though If you believe in distributed open source design and wish to be part of this new adventure, please start submitting patches and suggestions of improvement.
-
-Also, if you care about owning the build process of your icon font, this project will give you that. The whole pipeline is shared and free to use for any purpose. You could be spinning your own icon font with your clever name by just forking this project and changing a few settings.
-
-## How to use
-There is a full page in our documentation website that explains [how to use Fork Awesome in your web project](https://forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/get-started/). It ranges from just pointing to a CSS file on a CDN, hosting it on your own server or even adapting the LESS and SCSS files to your own liking.
-
-## License
-- The Fork Awesome font is licensed under the SIL OFL 1.1:
- - http://scripts.sil.org/OFL

-Included are directions for opening issues, coding standards, and notes on development.
-
-We also take great pride in recognizing any contributions made to this project. Whether you've written a blogpost about it, fixed a typo in the documentation or submitted new icons or code patches, we will happily list you in our [contributors list](CONTRIBUTORS.md).
-
-## Versioning
-
-Fork Awesome will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered
-with the following format:
-
-`..`
-
-And constructed with the following guidelines:
-
-* Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
-* Big changes, without breaking backward compatibility, bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
-* Bug fixes, small adaptations, adding a few icons and misc changes bumps the patch
-* The fork started from FontAwesome 4.7 (last commit by Dave is [bdfa9823](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/commits/master?after=b0bc8f6fb74e05c987ef7ce1525cd3ab8390a1c3+69)).
-* The project starts at version 1.0.0. All references to versions before the fork are named 0.4.7
-
-For more information on SemVer, please visit http://semver.org.
-
-## Component
-To include as a [component](https://github.com/componentjs/component), just run
-
- $ component install ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome
-
-Or add
-
- "ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome": "*"

-{{ site.forkawesome.name }} is a full suite of {{ icons | size }} pictographic icons for easy scalable vector graphics on websites, originally created by [Dave Gandy](https://twitter.com/davegandy) and now maintained by a community.
-
-Following concerns regarding [the development of Font Awesome](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/12199#issuecomment-362919956), the PR Freeze since Oct 2016 and the direction [Fort Awesome](https://fortawesome.com/) is taking with the version 5.0 of their project, we are forking Font Awesome (4.7), in order to build on this amazing tool Dave Gandy has given us, while at the same time allowing this project to be run by a distributed community of contributors.
-
-A tremendous gratitude is given to the whole team behind [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com), and you are encouraged to support them and buy Font Awesome Pro for your project.
-
-Though If you believe in distributed open source design and wish to be part of this new adventure, please start submitting patches and suggestions of improvement.

- Manually make your icons accessible
-
-
-
When using icons in your UI, there are manual techniques and ways to help assistive technology either ignore or better understand {{ site.forkawesome.name }}.
-
-
Icons used for pure decoration or visual styling
-
If you're using an icon to add some extra decoration or branding, it does not need to be announced to users as they are navigating your site or app aurally. Additionally, if you're using an icon to visually re-emphasize or add styling to content already present in your HTML, it does not need to be repeated to an assistive technology-using user. You can make sure this is not read by adding the aria-hidden="true" to your {{ site.forkawesome.name }} markup.

-
- If you're using an icon to convey meaning (rather than only as a decorative element), ensure that this meaning is also conveyed to assistive technologies. This goes for content you're abbreviating via icons as well as interactive controls (buttons, form elements, toggles, etc.). There are a few techniques to accomplish this:
-
-
-
If an icon is not an interactive element
-
- The simplest way to provide a text alternative is to use the aria-hidden="true" attribute on the icon and to include the text with an additional element, such as a <span>, with appropriate CSS to visually hide the element while keeping it accessible to assistive technologies. In addition, you can add a title attribute on the icon to provide a tooltip for sighted mouse users.

-{% endhighlight %}
- an icon being used to denote time remaining
-
-
-
If an icon represents an interactive element
-
- In the case of focusable interactive elements, there are various options to include an alternative text or label to the element, without the need for any visually hidden <span> or similar. For instance, simply adding the aria-label attribute with a text description to the interactive element itself will be sufficient to provide an accessible alternative name for the element. If you need to provide a visual tooltip on mouseover/focus, we recommend additionally using the title attribute or a custom tooltip solution.

-
- Modern versions of assistive technology, like screen readers, will read CSS generated content (how {{ site.forkawesome.name }} icons are rendered), as well as specific Unicode characters. When reading our default markup for rendering icons, assisistive technology may have the following problems.
-
-
-
-
- The assistive technology may not find any content to read out to a user
-
-
- The assistive technology may read the unicode equivalent, which could not match up to what the icon means in context, or worse is just plain confusing
-
- While the scenarios and techniques here help avoid some serious issues and confusion, they are not exhaustive. There are many complex contexts and use cases when it comes to accessibility, such as users with low vision who need a high color contrast ratio to see UI. There are some great tools and resources to learn from and work on these issues out there. Here are a few reads we recommend.

-Apparently, Adblock Plus can remove {{ site.forkawesome.name }} brand icons with their "Remove Social
-Media Buttons" setting. We will not use hacks to force them to display. Please
-report an issue with Adblock Plus if you believe this to be
-an error. To work around this, you'll need to modify the social icon class names.

Getting Support
-
- Having trouble getting {{ site.forkawesome.name }} up and running? Something not working the way you think it should?
-
-
-
- Make sure you've read the latest version of how to get started.
-
-
- Since {{ site.forkawesome.name }} is based on {{ site.fontawesome.name }}, check out the existing questions tagged as
- Font Awesome over on Stack Overflow. Other folks might have had the same question you've had.
-
-
- Can't find the answer to your question on Stack Overflow?
- Ask a new question, then.
-
- Want to keep up with what's planned for {{ site.forkawesome.name }}? Check out our
- projects on the GitHub repo.
- And come help us achieve those goals.
-
- With our thoughts on icon accessibility in mind, If an icon only adds some extra decoration or branding, it does not need to be announced to users as they are navigating your site or app aurally. Alternatively, if an icon conveys meaning in your content or interface, ensure that this meaning is also conveyed to assistive technologies through alternative displays or text.

-
-
-
- Use the fa-spin class to get any icon to rotate, and use fa-pulse to have it rotate
- with 8 steps. Works well with fa-spinner, fa-refresh, and fa-cog.
-
- Note:
- Some browsers on some platforms have issues with animated icons resulting in a jittery wobbling effect. See
- issue #671
- for examples and possible workarounds.
-
- You can place {{ site.forkawesome.name }} icons just about anywhere using the CSS Prefix fa and the icon's
- name. Fork Awesome is designed to be used with inline elements (we like the <i> tag for
- brevity, but using a <span> is more semantically correct).

- Example: basic icon
- If you change the font-size of the icon's container, the icon gets bigger. Same things goes for color,
- drop shadow, and anything else that gets inherited using CSS.

- article icons.

-{% endhighlight %}
-
- Use fa-fw to set icons at a fixed width. Great to use when different icon widths throw off alignment.
- Especially useful in things like nav lists & list groups.

-
-
-
-
- fa-terminal on fa-square

-
-
-
- fa-ban on fa-camera
-
-
-
-
- To stack multiple icons, use the fa-stack class on the parent, the fa-stack-1x
- for the regularly sized icon, and fa-stack-2x for the larger icon. fa-inverse
- can be used as an alternative icon color. You can even throw larger icon classes on the parent
- to get further control of sizing.

{{ icons_new | size }} New Icons since {{ version }}
- {% if page.navbar_active != "icons" %}

- You asked, {{ site.forkawesome.name }} delivers with {{ icons_new | size }} shiny new icons in version {{ version }}.
- Want to request new icons? Here's how.
-
New Naming Conventions in {{ site.forkawesome.minor_version }}
-
fa-[name]-[shape]-[o]-[direction]
-
- A desire for better icon naming consistency and predictability are at the heart
- of the changes in naming conventions. Once you know the name of the base icon shape, you should be able to predict
- the names of variants.
-
Switching from {{ site.fontawesome.name }} {{ site.fontawesome.minor_version }}?
-
- If you were using {{ site.fontawesome.name }} {{ site.fontawesome.minor_version }}, you should be able to just switch to {{ site.forkawesome.name }} {{ site.forkawesome.minor_version }} and get all the benefits from it.
- If you were using npm or composer packages, replace the ones you were using by this {{ site.forkawesome.name }} ones. Or if you downloaded a static copy of {{ site.fontawesome.name }}, download the latest version of {{ site.forkawesome.name }} and
- replace CSS and font files in your project and you should be good to go.
-
-
- We paid special attention not to change unicode codepoints for the existing icons, nor changed the CSS class names or icon names from {{ site.fontawesome.name }} {{ site.fontawesome.minor_version }}.
- Though we added a few more icons and made the process of contributing to this project much easier.
- Though, if you see a mistake, please don't hesitate to file a bug.
-
- Thanks to @davegandy for his
- original work on {{ site.fontawesome.name }} and to
- @gtagliala for managing pull
- requests and issues on the Font Awesome Github repo.
-
-
-
-
- Thanks to the still growing community of {{ page.total_contributors }} contributors who've carried this project from the early days of {{ site.fontawesome.name }} and who have joined this project since the fork.
- If you feel your contribution has not been recognized. Please file an issue, we'll happily add you to the list.
