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.

Wat vormt de dagelijkse routine van een telemarketeer? Hoe kunnen we voorbij gaan aan *co-working* als model voor ruimtes voor samenwerking? Wat zijn de territoriale en politieke functies van meubels in de context van de kunststudio-aan-huis? Werken *lifehacks* bevrijdend of zijn ze een extra last?

Samen met auteur en vormgever [François Girard-Meunier](https://www.francoisgm.com/), het [WORKNOT! collectief](https://worknot.info/) (Arvand Pourabbasi and Golnar Abbasi), [Varia](https://varia.zone) (vertegenwoordigd door Manetta Berends, Niek Hilkmann, Roel Roscam Abbing) en [XPUB](http://xpub.nl) gaan we deze en meer vragen aan tijdens een avond gewijd aan ruimtes die zowel ondernemend als precair zijn.

Life Hacks is onderdeel van het fellowship-programma van Het Nieuwe Instituut met het thema 'burn out'. Zoals verwoord door *fellow* Ramon Amaro:
Life Hacks is curated by Silvio Lorusso, and jointly organized by HNI’s Research Department and XPUB.
*“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.
