THE VOID 06 | Therapy for web Developers

By Mathilde Hjelle and The Void Team

What is the goal of all this, ultimately? For THE VOID the ambitions are not just short-term collaboration, but rather to construct something useful and sustainable. While projects and videos have a definitive timeline of production, the knowledge and experience we gather do not. Collective knowledge-making does not move into post-production and the final stage, it is always in development. Thus, we are reaching for means to archive and share our experience for future projects to come, both of our own and from others. We seek to blur the boundaries between formats to create a transformative agenda that expands publishing for practice-based research.

THE VOID BLOG | Looking at Expanded Audio-Visual Publishing for Open Collaborations

Extinction Internet is not merely an end-of-the-world phantasy of digital technology that one day will be wiped out by an electromagnetic pulse or the cutting of cables. Rather, Extinction Internet marks the end of an era of possibilities and speculations, when adaptation is no longer an option. During the internet’s Lost Decade, we’ve been rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic under the inspirational guidance of the consultancy class. What’s to be done to uphold the inevitable? We need tools that decolonize, redistribute value, conspire and organize. Join the platform exodus. It’s time for a strike on optimization. There is beauty in the breakdown.

Extinction Internet is Geert Lovink’s inaugural lecture, held on November 18, 2022 as Professor of Art and Network Cultures, within Modern and Contemporary Art History,  Faculty of Humanities, University of Amsterdam.

Extinction Internet by Geert Lovink - Audiobook

Timeis.capital is an online platform for audio-visual research on self-organisation. It consists of interviews with people who self-organise and the 3D scans of the spaces from which they do this — project spaces, squats and living rooms. It’s aim is to collect practice-based knowledge and strategies that are produced in the ephemeral landscape of artist-run initiatives — in order to strengthen the non-institutional art world and generate new energy for self-organisation. Timeis.capital consists of a fluid collective of artists and friends.

Timeis.capital: Index on Self-Organisation in the Arts

In this episode, THE VOID hosts the collective Timeis.capital which runs an online platform for audio-visual research on self-organization. This project consists of interviews with the people who run self-organized spaces and 3D scans of these (often ephemeral) spaces — project spaces, antikraak, squats and living rooms. Its aim is to collect practice-based knowledge and strategies that are produced in the ephemeral landscape of artist-run initiatives — in order to strengthen the non-institutional art world and generate new energy for self-organization.

THE VOID PopUp Studio x REMIX Fest: Intro

This is the first episode in the mini-series Art in Permacrisis, a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises. How can artists make a living without selling their souls? Can we imagine and practice a sustainable art economy beyond precarity? How should we transform the circulation of artworks, the curriculum of art and design academies, the exhibition programs of museums, and the organization of collectives and unions? We invite speakers with combined backgrounds in art, theory, and organizing to share their insights.

For this episode, we are welcoming Kuba Szreder. Kuba is a lecturer in art theory at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and a freelance curator. He co-founded the Free/Slow University of Warsaw and the Office for Postartistic Practices. The main topic of our conversation is Kuba's book ABC of the Projectariat: Living and Working in a Precarious Art World.

Art in Permacrisis is a podcast of the Institute of Network Cultures and Caradt. It is hosted by Candela Cubria and Sepp Eckenhaussen. Tech by Tommaso Campagna. Editing by Giulia Timis.

Art in Permacrisis #1: Kuba Szreder and the Projectariat

This is the fourth episode of Art in Permacrisis, a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises. How can artists make a living without selling their souls? Can we imagine and practice a sustainable art economy beyond precarity? How should we transform the circulation of artworks, the curriculum of art and design academies, the exhibition programs of museums, and the organization of collectives and unions? We invite speakers with combined backgrounds in art, theory, and organizing to share their insights.
In this episode, we talk to Yazan Khalili. Yazan is an artist, architect, and cultural activist living in and out of Palestine. Some of Yazan's many roles are: PhD candidate at the Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis, co-founder of Radio Alhara (since 2020), and co-founder of The Question of Funding-collective (since 2019). Our conversation focuses on crisis and the crisis economy as a defining force in the arts. We also discuss the practice of infrastructural critique, or how to build alternative art institutions from the bottom up. And, of course, we talk about Palestine.

Art in Permacrisis #4: Yazan Khalili and the Crisis Economy

Inte Gloerich is a critical media and technology researcher at the Institute of Network Cultures. She is one of the core people behind the research community MoneyLab and recently finished her PhD on feminist blockchain imaginaries. In this episode of Art in Permacrisis, we discuss blockchain beyond the hype, and beyond the wish to get rich fast. How can blockchain be a tool for radical imagination and decentralised autonomous organising in the arts? We discuss concepts and dilemmas, and briefly revisit what's left of the NFT boom, but we mainly dive into the practices of contemporary DAOs, from Dayra, to Black Swan, The Sphere, Circles, and CultureStake. What works? What doesn't work? How? And why?

Art in Permacrisis is a podcast of the Institute of Network Cultures and Caradt on organizing art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises. It is hosted by Sepp Eckenhaussen, and tech support is provided by Tommaso Campagna. Salome Berdzenishvili edited this episode.

Art in Permacrisis #6: Inte Gloerich and Decentralised Autonomous Organisations

Kate Rich is an artist, trader, and researcher based in the UK. We discussed 'feral trade', a grocery business set up by Kate, for which her internationally traveling (art world) friends and acquaintances act as couriers. We then talked about 'radmin', a long-term effort to radicalize the administrative work that's always there, but usually remains in the background, even in social art practices.

Art in Permacrisis is a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises, hosted by Sepp Eckenhaussen. This episode was recorded in Brussels, in a studio generously offered by Rune Peitersen and Level Five Cooperative.

Art in Permacrisis #7: Kate Rich and Radical Administration

Vermeir & Heiremans started their collaborative artistic practice in 2006, when they defined their apartment in Brussels as an artwork and created the Art House Index. In the following decades, they developed a deep artistic research practice focusing on the interplay between art, speculation, finance, and real estate. Ronny Heiremans and Katleen Vermeir have also successfully worked on Belgian art policy development and co-founded the artistic research platform Jubilee. We cover a lot of ground in our conversation, from financialisation for the public good to automated art dividends, real estate speculation, bottom-up policymaking, new ways of mutualization, and the lure of art cooperatives.

Gizem Üstüner is an artist and researcher based in Amsterdam, whose work is a direct confrontation with the realities of precarity, migration, and womanhood. In recent years, she’s been traveling to Yogyakarta, Athens, Istanbul, and back to Amsterdam for the long-term ‘Low Budget Projects’. Wherever she goes, Gizem seeks to build solidarity through one-on-one exchanges with peers navigating struggles similar to hers. Over coffees, cigarettes, nights out, or moments of protest, she listens, connects, and shares in the everyday tactics and resistance strategies that cultural practitioners develop in response to the cultural, economic, and political infrastructures they inhabit. In this podcast, we discuss the different chapters of Low Budget Projects, and what they tell us about transparency, solidarity, humor, and resistant joy among art workers’ communities.

Art in Permacrisis #9: Gizem Üstüner's Low-Budget Projects

During this fourth Tactical Video broadcast we discussed the potentials and limitations of streaming as an opportunity to create digital infrastructures of solidarity. The urgency to make and maintain localized yet distributed, open yet trusted, community-led yet flexible, and accessible yet ecologically and socially sustainable alternative infrastructures for online gathering has only grown from the now seemingly distant pandemic times.

Online video streaming, our medium of choice, is only behind AI when it comes to energy and computationally intensive technologies. This begs the question: can streaming become a sustainable practice, placing care for the environment, for hardware (from cables to cameras and servers), and each other before uncritical mass outreach and constant content production? How can streaming become a practice of solidarity that acknowledges its material, infrastructural conditions and limitations?

An evening of earnest conversations on how we can start to stream otherwise bringing together the self-hosting and alternative design initiatives SysterServer and Permacomputing. Featuring presentations and chats with Ola Bonati, Aymeric Mansoux, vo ezn, ooooo.be, and Karl Moubarak the event was moderated by Erica Gargaglione and the T.V. Team. The night was opened with a zine launch by our StreamArt Network collaborator 3022 and completed with a therminoise performance by noiserr.

This hybrid event was produced and published by THE VOID (Tommaso Campagna, Giulia Timis, Jordi Viader Guerrero) with the assistance of Maja Korczyńska, August Kaasa Sundgaard, Salome Berdzenishvili, and Carolina Valente Pinto.

Hosts Margarita Osipian and Sjef van Beers from The Hmm, are joined by Sam Cummins, of Nymphet Alumni, to discuss the girlboss. Overly familiar with the many critiques this online stereotype has gotten over the years, we shift our focus to look at the cultural and aesthetic environment that led to the girlboss, her inception, and the impact she made on our (online) culture today.

This is the first episode of Thinking Face Emoji, a podcast miniseries by The Hmm, in collaboration with the Institute of Network Cultures, and supported by the Creative Industries Fund NL. Jingle and sound design by Jochem van der Hoek. Editing by Salome Berdzenishvili. Cover art by Aspirin
