How can we critically and playfully explore intra-actions? How could our projects enter new paths or create something new?

THE SWERVE is an interdisciplinary Lab for the unpredictable. It is also a social meeting place embracing spontaneous situated encounters. Please bring your unfinished projects, processes and works (or just a cake). Together we will elaborate on ways to interact with them and how to send them (and ourselves) into new directions. A few times per semester we will open the doors for a performative evening event.

“While the atoms are being carried down in a straight line through the void by their own weight, at quite uncertain times and at uncertain intervals they swerve slightly out of their course — just enough for one to be able to say that there has been an alteration in their movement. For if they had not this characteristic of moving out of the direct line, they would all fall downwards like drops of rain through the depths of the void; no collision would take place, no one atom would strike upon another; and so nature would never have produced anything at all.” De Rerum Natura by Lucretius ( c. 99 BC – c. 55 BC)
