Vermeir & Heiremans started their collaborative artistic practice in 2006, when they defined their apartment in Brussels as an artwork and created the Art House Index. In the following decades, they developed a deep artistic research practice focusing on the interplay between art, speculation, finance, and real estate. Ronny Heiremans and Katleen Vermeir have also successfully worked on Belgian ar...

Kate Rich is an artist, trader, and researcher based in the UK. We discussed 'feral trade', a grocery business set up by Kate, for which her internationally traveling (art world) friends and acquaintances act as couriers. We then talked about 'radmin', a long-term effort to radicalize the administrative work that's always there, but usually remains in the background, even in social art practices....

She is one of the core people behind the research community MoneyLab and recently finished her PhD on feminist blockchain imaginaries.

We kick off a new season of Art in Permacrisis with a special episode. In October, we were in Budapest for a conference of media artists and researchers called MetaForumX: PermaCrises. One of the contributions to MetaForum was a podcast created by media artist Constant Dullaart. It's a fresh take on the notion of permacrisis, the development of AI, and the role of art. Art in Permacrisis is a podc...

In this episode, THE VOID hosts the collective Timeis.capital which runs an online platform for audio-visual research on self-organization. This project consists of interviews with the people who run self-organized spaces and 3D scans of these (often ephemeral) spaces — project spaces, antikraak, squats and living rooms. Its aim is to collect practice-based knowledge and strategies that are produc...

It consists of interviews with people who self-organise and the 3D scans of the spaces from which they do this — project spaces, squats and living rooms. It’s aim is to collect practice-based knowledge and strategies that are produced in the ephemeral landscape of artist-run initiatives — in order to strengthen th...

Rather, Extinction Internet marks the end of an era of possibilities and speculations, when adaptation is no longer an option. During the internet’s Lost Decade, we’ve been rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic under the insp...

By Mathilde Hjelle and The Void Team What is the goal of all this, ultimately? For THE VOID the ambitions are not just short-term collaboration, but rather to construct something useful and sustainable. While projects and videos have a definitive timeline of production, the knowledge and experience we gather do not. Collective knowledge-making does not move into post-production and the final stage...
