Constant is very happy to invite you to the launch of its third publication under the SPLINT research trajectory: 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.

During the event, we’ll have live contributions by some of the artists that accompanied us in this trajectory, such as Joke Caimo, Blise Orr, Varia.

You are very welcome to join us for this festive launch. Snacks and drinks will be provided in this early evening hour.

• Joke Caimo is an undisciplined artivist, media artist, and inventor of objects and instruments.

• Blise Orr’s practice critically breaks through the boundaries of architecture as a discipline and reconsiders how spatial design influences ideologies of ecology in relation to our post-natural environment.

• Varia is a collective based in Rotterdam that experiments with creating and maintaining physical and digital infrastructures needed for collective, cultural work.

• Sarah Magnan is graphic designer who’s interested by collaborative work and hybrid publishing. Since 2012 she is part of the collective Open Source Publishing and co-founded the feminist group Just For The Record and the cooperative, independent magazine Médor.

• Chez rosi is a Brussels-based risographic workspace initiated by the organisation Plus tôt te Laat.

Constant is an association for arts and media, with a long history in engaging in free software cultures, open source and collectively developed tools.
