"In 2023 Constant started a new series of yearly publications connected to the new artistic programme covering the programme 2023-2027.

This publication loosely narrates the experiences and artistic practices we gathered in 2023 around the theme of Techno-disobedience."

"The writing of the publication was done on several computers connected to the same etherpad, and then styled through templates and stylesheets, and output as html, pdf, audio recordings, crocheted pieces, balaclavas, worms, spirals, amazing collective food moments and many constructed doodles over drinks. We loosely divided the work of writing, editing, styling between the people around the table: the Constant team, joined by Manetta Berends and Alix Turcq."

Otherworldly Communications

In 2025 Constant’s research focused on how different forms of life co/exist and circulate in the midst of damage and toxicity and how we could critically engage with different conceptions of the ’other’ (as in: other than human, otherworldly and otherings). This publication tells a subjective and multi-voiced story about discoveries and encounters that happened during the unfolding of our activities.

It was compiled during a three day sprint by Constant’s team, guided by graphic designer Sarah Magnan*, and printed at chez rosi* in Brussels using the software Octomode by Creative Crowds.

It will soon be available in print format as well as in web format/pdf on Constant Calibre library.
