 # Varia website
 
-## Cloning
+> https://varia.zone
 
-The folder 'plugins' is linked to the Pelican project '[pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/)' repository. To clone both the varia.website and pelican-plugins repository, add the --recurse-submodules option in your git clone command:
+## Hackity Hack Hack
 
-`git clone https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/varia.website.git --recurse-submodules`
+```
+$ git clone https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/varia.website.git
+$ cd varia.website
+$ make
+```
 
+Visit the website at [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
 
-## Install
+## Our Tools
 
-$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-
-
-## Start
-
-You can make use of the makefile, for example by running the following command to start a python server:
-
-$ make devserver
-
-Visit the website at localhost:8000
-
-
-## Update submodules
-
-We are currently using two submodules:
-
-* pelican-plugins ([https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins))
-* plugins-custom ([https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/plugins-custom](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/plugins-custom)) 
-
-To update these submodules within your (already) cloned repository, first init the submodule, and then update it:
-
-    cd /path/to/submodule 
-
-    git submodule init
-
-    git submodule update
+The Varia website is made with Pelican, a static site generator written in
+Python. This means that the website is first generated on a computer (using
+Python, Jinja and Pelican) into a set of html pages, files and images. This set
+of documents is then uploaded to the server.
 
+One of the things that Pelican uses is _plugins_. They are used to add extra
+features to the generation process of the website. In this repository there is
+a folder called 'pelican-plugins' and another one called 'plugins-custom'. The
+first one, 'pelican-plugins', is linked to the offical collection of plugins from the
+Pelican project
+[pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/). The other
+one, 'plugins-custom', consists of plugins that we wrote ourself.
 
 ## Posting Content
-We're using Pelican to generate a static website. The main way to add content to the website is by making 'posts' in the folder `content`.
 
-This can be done either locally or via the gitlab interface by creating a new file.
-
-Make sure that each article contains at least the following at the top of the document:

+Century 21 Calling is terug! 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.
+
+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!

+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.
+
+**Century 21 Calling** is a series of screenings initiated by the [Save_as](http://www.save-as.media/) 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.

+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.

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

+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!

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

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

+
+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.
