Constant

Constant is a non-profit organisation based in Brussels since 1997 and active in the fields of art, media and technology.

Constant develops, investigates, supports and experiments.

Constant learns from/ engages with/ practices from within feminisms. Constant is inspired by the principles of copyleft, Free/Libre + Open Source Software while formulating its own critic towards it. Constant loves collective, digital, artistic and thoughtful practices. Constant organises transdisciplinary, open-ended worksessions. Constant creates installations, publications and exchanges. Constant collaborates with artists, activists, programmers, academics, designers and more, sometimes briefly and other times for many years. Constant is inhabited and activated by various people contaminating it with their practices, sensibilities and experiences, each in their own way.

Constant works with feminist servers, situated publishing, active archives, extitutional networks, (re)learning situations, hackable devices, performative protocols, solidary infrastructures and other spongy practices to stake out paths towards speculative, libre, intersectional technologies.
