X-dex
The publication Iterations aims to create openings and inspire new concepts for work yet to be developed. As a vessel it is filled with hybrid content that can be unpacked and remixed. As part of the editorial work on the Iterations publication, (https://iterations.space/?path=/pub/publication.html) @jxxx and @manetta developed a practice around the "x-dex" as a counterpart of to the "index" publications are commonly equiped with.
"If “indexing” would be about gaining access through the illusion of completeness, the x-dex is about situated unfoldings, about letting go of fixitude and about handing over for a little longer; a form of generative relationality that is not providing with control nor indication, but a sort of playfulness and imaginative re-entanglement. Perspectives, feelings, aesthetics or uneasiness are not only brought to the table by the agents that share materials, but by the emergent x-dexer as wel. Together they contribute to an explicit toolset for handling difference patterns, operate with worldly absences, and score open questions"

ETAT DES LIEUX / Plaatsbeschrijving
Constant Variable was a F/LOSS Arts Lab situated in Rue Gallait 80/ Brussels. It ran from 2011 until July 2014.
On the one hand it was a physical work space, on the other hand it was a thematic project related to our interest in economical, legal, social and technological conditions for cultural work. This visualisation attempts to draw a relational web that existed around Variable.

For the Connecting Buttons Workshop, we decided to dig up some #dustware (hardware you haven't been using in a loooong time) to set-up some potential button scenario's and situations.
Such as the IpSonComPact with osc, microcontrollers digital ins (Arduino deumilenova perhaps) and GPIO pins of small computers (Raspberry Pi 1 in the pink boxes maybe).
Sprinkle in some physical #permacomputing vibes

What kind of button would your brain, neurodiverse or otherwise, like to have made? What gesture does your hand/other body part want to do to activate something (technologically)? What material do you find pleasant? What do you want the button to activate? Should it be practical, poetic or very personal?

Urgent publishing. That which is immediate, error-laden, published FEVERISHLY, without peer review, as gray literature, meant to be circulated internally within institutions/communities yet EXITING (and nesting within) them through organizational fissures, a form of extra-curricular distribution (or exhalation) that varnishes what is published with a clandestine sheen, increasing the already-urgency of what was released under duress, in a state of undress, for the sake of entering a pressing conversation that couldn’t and shouldn’t abide by institutional timings of legitimate knowledge production as, if it did, it would be talk (or text) dead upon arrival, outdated before it ever dropped. A sentence that is urgent can be short.
