  open call for application to the worksession Techno-Cul-de-Sac !!!

Deadline: 09 October
Confirmation: 15 October

We invite artists, city dwellers, activists, electronic scavengers, 
conflicted urbanists and reluctant designers to spend a week together 
sharing practices related to the city’s zones of attention, contact, 
conflict.

The worksession Techno-Cul-de-Sac will take place from 20th to the 25th 
November 2022 in Constant Studio in Brussels and will investigate the 
city as a woven fabric of territories of inclusion and exclusion, of 
availabilities and scarcities, of obligations and potentials. It starts 
from observing the relations between three different forms of zoning and 
the technology they involve in the Brussels context.

...

What are possible strategies to express disagreement, temporarily or 
structurally in the urban space? Does a passer-by consent to rules and 
regulations during a stroll in the city? As private property and public 
space melt into each other, what modes of dissent help us re-think 
public space and public action? Did we really opt-in for all-round 
corporate surveillance, and how do you collectively opt-out?

Techno-Cul-de-Sac will stubbornly explore the possibilities to do and 
think the city differently, both existing and imaginary ones.

Programme
TCdS will take place in the shared space that Constant and allies 
recently started rebuilding and inhabiting. TCdS offers opportunity for 
collective exchange mixed with city trips, presentations, film 
screenings. Participants will have time throughout the week to develop 
artistic investigative concepts and proposals, individually or with others.
Departing from curiosity, participants are invited to think of 
possibilities that occur through different modes of ’broadcasting’.
Accomplices will include Urban Species, Radio Panik, IEB, ZinTV.

What we offer
Participation is free of charge. Constant will cover costs of 
transportation, breakfast+lunch, and lodging for all participants.

Application
If you are interested in joining, please send us an email with a few 
lines describing your interest in these questions and possibly links to 
work you find relevant.
