In every system there are settings predefined by its creators, that most of the time stay untouched by us, as users. It's their default, not ours, but it's up to us to change it. Society is made of similar preset frameworks that we take for granted. The projects in this exhibition engage with these different default modes and intervene in their core structure/source/root.

       <p>The project has 3 parts. First, we organized a discussion session with guests from WORM Pirate Bay Archive, Leeszaal West and Stichting Freehouse, on the topic of <a href="https://www.tentrotterdam.nl/event/the-temporary-autonomous-bureau-anomalous-institutions/" target="_blank"><i>Anomalous Institutions</i></a> and how they can function and survive in Rotterdam. Second, within the workshop <a href="https://www.tentrotterdam.nl/event/workshop-stop-being-an-instrument-and-sing-your-own-songs/" target="_blank"><i>Stop Being an Instrument and Sing Your Own Songs</i></a>, we generated slogans with the help of a Python script, painted them on banners and displayed them in and outside of the TENT building. Finally, during our last performance <a href="https://www.tentrotterdam.nl/event/the-temporary-autonomous-bureau-anatomy-autonomy/" target="_blank"><i>Anatomy of Autonomy</i></a>, we read collectively a computer generated manifesto on autonomy and self-organization, and presented our research within a publication. </p>

To understand the way the role of food is being transformed by technology companies, I follow a path through the history of cooking and gender roles in food preparation, the role technology has in food culture and the way Silicon Valley is appropriating food traditions and knowledge in creating new consumer products for the privileged. At the same time, I explore the potential of future food innovations, in the context of ever increasing abstraction and commodification of food and the labour of cooking.</p>

         <p>My main focus within the library revolved around the notion of stacks. Rather than a bookshelf in a library, where books are lined up and often forgotten, the stacks on your table/nightstand/bathroom floor consist of books prone to be opened and reopened at any time. The stacks in XPPL are visible for others in the network to browse, annotate, update or shuffle. </p>
