Cette
session de travail, organisée par l’association Constant
étant anglophone, nous reproduisons son annonce dans sa langue
d’origine. En bref, il s’agit d’étudier la gouvernance à
travers le prisme de la bureaucratie.
Between 7 and 12
December 2020, Constant organises the worksession Bureaucracksy.
This work-session investigates the governance of techno-social
systems through the prism of bureaucracy. The execution of rules is
an essential element of computation, of digital infrastructures, and
of the societies that they operate with. Critical practices of
listing, naming, filtering, tool making, care and sharing require
that some books are kept.
Initiatives
around Free/Libre, Open Source software for example insist on
producing transparent procedures and thereby contribute to the
creation of commoning structures, collective resources and addressing
the Conducts of Code. The work-session invites artists and activists
to share imaginations of counter-accountancies and -accountabilities,
of how to engage with paperwork, systemics and logistics.
The
session takes place in Hacktiris, the shared workplace that Constant
and many other artists and cultural organisations use in the center
of Brussels. As the former headquarters of Actiris, the Brussels
Regional Employment Office, the building has an infamous history of
paperwork itself.
Program
elements (among others):
• A series of
visits to Bureaucra(ck)tic hot-spots in Brussels and Belgium.
• Collective exchanges of participants practices.
• Federation, organisation and moderation of distributed software
repositories.
• Subversioning the figure
of the Data Protection Officer
The session results in a
collectively produced collection of late night stories. These Bedside
tales of Bureaucracksies are destined to invade our dreams. They can
be trans-feminist scripts, or anti-capitalist spells, They might be
pamphlets or children’s stories. They could be radical
administrative recitals, decolonial algorithms, ambient spreadsheets,
fairy-tale fabrics, hummed scores, unruly writings.
You might
sleep tight, or you might wake up screaming.
Work-sessions
Constant ’work-sessions’ are intensive trans-disciplinary
situations to which participants from all over the world contribute.
Every six months Constant opens such a temporary research lab; a
collective working environment where different types of expertise
come into contact with each other. During work sessions we develop
ideas and prototypes that in the long-term lead to publications,
projects and new proposals. Work-sessions favour the use of F/LOSS
software. To facilitate collective work, these Guidelines for
collaboration apply >> http://media.constantvzw.org/wefts/123/
