What: DiVersions v2 // 7 installations + guided tours
Where: [removed]
When: From 25 June to 20 December

In seven on-line installations, artists show how digital collections of
cultural institutions could welcome very different and even opposing
views. Decolonial and intersectional perspectives call for a rethinking
of on-line cultural heritage. What if we would arrange otherwise, invent
material ways to move with data and listen to metadata’s uncertainties?

The installations in the on-line exhibition were first shown in De
Pianofabriek in October 2019. On the basis of reflections and
discussions among the artists and with visitors, this second version of
DiVersions has been completely reworked.

With: Collection of uncertainties (Marie Lécrivain, Colm o’Neill),
Sketchy recognition (Michael Murtaugh, Nicolas Malevé), When organic
trees meet the data tree (Anaïs Berck), Material Journeys Through Other
Realities (Phil Langley, Mia Melvær), The weight of things (Cristina
Cochior), A new fire ceremony (Zoumana Meïté, Martino Morandi),
Diff3r3ntVversionsArePOSSIBLE?!. (Z.)

If you want a guided tour as a group or on your own, please contact:
Scenography: Mia Melvær and Cristina Cochior.

What: Iterations publication
Where: [removed]

Iterations was a series of residencies, exhibitions, research meetings
and artistic exchanges committed to investigate the future of artistic
collaboration in digitally networked contexts. Iterations is now also a
publication that creates and inspires new concepts and openings for
works yet to be developed.

With contributions by: Kym Ward, Behuki, common ground, Rica Rickson,
Collective Conditions, spideralex. An insert booklet invites the reader
to engage in a practice of ’X-dexing’ to discover and process
transversal content.

Editors: Jara Rocha and Manetta Berends
Design: Manetta Berends

Iterations is a project by Constant, Hangar and esc MKL.

What: Constant sponge
Where: Constant vitrine Rue du Fortstraat 5, 1060 Saint-Gilles
When: From 23 July to 20 September + vernissage: Thursday July 23,
18:00-22:00

Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera (/pəˈrɪfərə/; meaning “pore
bearer”), are a basal Metazoa (animal) clade as a sister of the
Diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of
pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting
of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells.

Digital snapshots, audio recordings, screen grabs, video clips, radio
programs, posters, publications, mindmaps: for 20 years dribs and drabs
of digital detritus have washed ashore the various servers of Constant.
Over the last three years, Constant collaborated with Michael Murtaugh
and Martino Morandi on the ’sponge’, an ecosystem of tools to index,
link, and rewrite these digital materials to tell (new) stories of more
than two decades of activities. Resulting playlists will be shown in the
Constant aquarium (aka window).

At the opening you can pick up a copy of Iterations, the latest addition
to our Books with an Attitude. Also, we will say a (temporary?) farewell
to our beautiful SNCBench…
