If we want to build antifascist movements today, the question (and critique) of intersectionality is crucial. How to hold together a movement with different people, in different places, who address different forms of violence and fight different forms of fascism? How can we build infrastructures of solidarity in or with art? With us in the studio to discuss these questions, are three wonderful guests: Andrea Elera on behalf of the migrant cultural workers’ collective Feministas en Holanda; Maddalena Fragnito, a cultural theorist and co-author of Spermopolitica; and multidisciplinary artist Zuzanna Hertzberg, who has been involved in anti-fascist organizing in Poland for over a decade.Duckrabbits Talk Back is a podcast about postartistic antifascism, hosted by Aria Spinelli, Kuba Szreder, and Sepp Eckenhaussen.

What is really political art? What is the relation between art and hegemony? And how to be an uncompromising antifascist in a complex, multipolar world? To discuss these deep question, we are joined by Nora Sternfeld, an independent curator and Professor of Art Education at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. Expect no clear-cut, simple answers, but in-depth discussions about the opposition between simplistic complexity and complex simplicity, para-institutionality, counter-monuments, sober coalition-building, and the notion of propaganda. Please join us in the labyrinth of concepts, because it will be worth your while.Duckrabbits Talk Back is a podcast about postartistic antifascism, hosted by Aria Spinelli, Kuba Szreder, and Sepp Eckenhaussen.

What is the role of art in building new social movements and media? Artists Elke Uitentuis and Tibor Dieters, and media theorist Geert Lovink join us in the studio to discuss what kind of media conglomerates we dream of, the models that inspire us, and the kind of coalitions we are ought to build. As you will hear, we all want to break away from the art world’s cozy bubble of empty political statements and build something else. The fundamental point, in Geert's words, is to move art from policing at the discursive level to mobilising at the image level.Duckrabbits Talk Back is a podcast about postartistic antifascism, hosted by Aria Spinelli, Kuba Szreder, and Sepp Eckenhaussen.

What is to be done when the usual economies of art — grants, markets, donors, biennials, institutions, and endless unpaid labour — reach their breaking point? In this episode, we look at interdependent economies of art and the search for alternative modes of organising artistic production amid systemic breakdown. Together with Kathrin Böhm, Marco Baravalle, and Yazan Khalili, we discuss more-than-capitalist economies, commons, alter-institutions, donor dependency, voluntary work, class privilege, and infrastructures of solidarity. Yet again, do not expect simplified responses to complex questions, but rather clarity that stems from years of practice, based on grounded reflections on Company Drinks, S.a.L.E. Docks, Radio Alhara, The Question of Funding, and Learning Palestine. Please join us as we ask whether art workers should defend institutions, abandon them, occupy them, or build something else — because after the breaking point, interdependent economy becomes a matter of survival, autonomy, and collective imagination.* correction: Company Drinks was not started in 2013, as stated in the episode, but in 2014Duckrabbits Talk Back is a podcast about postartistic antifascism, hosted by Aria Spinelli, Kuba Szreder, and Sepp Eckenhaussen.

What is to be done when authoritarianism is not simply a blast from the past, but mutates through AI slop, fossil infrastructures, culture wars, and flexible realities? What happens when time collapses and fascists wage war on truth itself? What is the role of artists and postartists facing this conundrum? Should their work become more operational, or rather radically inoperative? And do we need clear answers, or must we learn how to pose the right questions?In this episode, we map postartistic antifascism around the world with Gregory Sholette, Hito Steyerl, and Jakub Depczyński. Expect no comforting answers, but sharp discussions about the radical unpresent, retro-vanguards, derivative fascisms, fractal colonialism, democratic interregnums, phantom archives, and the fragile afterlives of initiatives such as the Antifascist Year. Please join us in this exchange of diagnosis and strategies — because by braiding both, we get a bit closer to knowing what needs to be done.Duckrabbits Talk Back is a podcast about postartistic antifascism, hosted by Aria Spinelli, Kuba Szreder, and Sepp Eckenhaussen.

Duckrabbits Talk Back is a podcast about postartistic antifascism. It gathers thinkers, activists, artists, and postartists to discuss the global rise of fascism, ask questions together, and formulate possible responses. Duckrabbits — those wonderfully ambivalent creatures that can be seen as ducks or rabbits, or both at once — guide us through the tangled web of contemporary theory, postartistic practice, and antifascist imagination. From antifascist comics to networked movements, from intersectional struggles to economies of interdependence, duckrabbits and guests map how cultural work confronts both old and newly mutating forms of authoritarianism.In this first episode of the series, co-hosts Kuba Szreder, Aria Spinelli, and Sepp Eckenhaussen, together with producer Anielek Niemyjski, introduce comrade Duckrabbit. They share their reasons for making an antifascist art podcast today, and announce the all-star line-up of artivist guests in the upcoming episodes.Duckrabbits Talk Back was inspired by the comic treatise Duckrabbits Unveiled: A Sneak Peek at the Postartistic Theory and Practice (2025): https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/duckrabbits-unveiled-a-sneak-peek-at-the-postartistic-theory-and-practiceCover art by Kacper GreńJingle by Olka DąbrowskaAmsterdam, Institute of Network Cultures, 2026
Opening discussion for Open Secret Amsterdam, internet cinema screening at OT301's Ventilator Cinema on October 30, 2025 in Amsterdam. Organized in collaboration with THE VOID (Institute of Network Cultures) this conversation featured Onty (off screen), Dana Dawud (online), Mischa Dols, Jordi Viader Guerrero and was moderated by Persis Bekkering.Open Secret is a traveling series of online film screenings that relies on a fluid network of terminally online artists who seek (reveal? create?) meaning in the ubiquitous and endless stream of images that saturates us daily. Intimate home videos, commercials, curated selfies, or live war footage: these are images shared online with everyone, but Open Secret proposes that we actually watch them together, physically and on the big screen.Featuring films by Dana Dawud, Redacted Cut, Onty, Xafya Lovecraft, Daniel Stolzlederer, and Mischa Dols, the “open secret” in these films is that all these images and sounds that we encounter daily are important – that they perhaps are worth something true to us. Some films try to reveal the cinema in these images, the kinetic energy, and the shared experience, by cutting and editing them until meanings mutate into something new. Other films were created collaboratively through network connection, motivated by the original potential of (former) internet utopias.Background film: None of These People Exist (2022) by Onty

Justin O'Connor is a Professor of Cultural Economy at the University of South Australia. In this episode, we talk about his new book, 'Culture Is Not an Industry: Reclaiming Art and Culture for the Common Good'. Justin explains how theoretically poor the concept of the 'creative industry' actually is, and how it has messed up cultural policy in many countries. We then talk about an alternative policy vision: art and culture as a common good, anchored in the foundational economy.Links:Culture Is Not an Industry: Reclaiming Art and Culture for the Common Good: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526171269The Foundational Economy Collective: foundationaleconomy.comReset: Een nieuw begin voor kunst en cultuur: starfishbooks.org/justin-oconnor-reset
Hosts Margarita Osipian and Sjef van Beers from The Hmm, are joined by Sam Cummins, of Nymphet Alumni, to discuss the girlboss. Overly familiar with the many critiques this online stereotype has gotten over the years, we shift our focus to look at the cultural and aesthetic environment that led to the girlboss, her inception, and the impact she made on our (online) culture today.This is the first episode of Thinking Face Emoji, a podcast miniseries by The Hmm, in collaboration with the Institute of Network Cultures, and supported by the Creative Industries Fund NL.

During this fourth Tactical Video broadcast we discussed the potentials and limitations of streaming as an opportunity to create digital infrastructures of solidarity. The urgency to make and maintain localized yet distributed, open yet trusted, community-led yet flexible, and accessible yet ecologically and socially sustainable alternative infrastructures for online gathering has only grown from the now seemingly distant pandemic times.Online video streaming, our medium of choice, is only behind AI when it comes to energy and computationally intensive technologies. This begs the question: can streaming become a sustainable practice, placing care for the environment, for hardware (from cables to cameras and servers), and each other before uncritical mass outreach and constant content production? How can streaming become a practice of solidarity that acknowledges its material, infrastructural conditions and limitations?An evening of earnest conversations on how we can start to stream otherwise bringing together the self-hosting and alternative design initiatives SysterServer and Permacomputing. Featuring presentations and chats with Ola Bonati, Aymeric Mansoux, vo ezn, ooooo.be, and Karl Moubarak the event was moderated by Erica Gargaglione and the T.V. Team. The night was opened with a zine launch by our StreamArt Network collaborator 3022 and completed with a therminoise performance by noiserr.This hybrid event was produced and published by THE VOID (Tommaso Campagna, Giulia Timis, Jordi Viader Guerrero) with the assistance of Maja Korczyńska, August Kaasa Sundgaard, Salome Berdzenishvili, and Carolina Valente Pinto.

Gizem Üstüner is an artist and researcher based in Amsterdam, whose work is a direct confrontation with the realities of precarity, migration, and womanhood. In recent years, she’s been traveling to Yogyakarta, Athens, Istanbul, and back to Amsterdam for the long-term ‘Low Budget Projects’. Wherever she goes, Gizem seeks to build solidarity through one-on-one exchanges with peers navigating struggles similar to hers. Over coffees, cigarettes, nights out, or moments of protest, she listens, connects, and shares in the everyday tactics and resistance strategies that cultural practitioners develop in response to the cultural, economic, and political infrastructures they inhabit. In this podcast, we discuss the different chapters of Low Budget Projects, and what they tell us about transparency, solidarity, humor, and resistant joy among art workers’ communities.Links:Low Budget Projects IG: instagram.com/lowbudgetprojectsLow Budget Projects in Amsterdam: https://framerframed.nl/en/projecten/low-budget-projects-do-not-expect-anything-out-of-the-blue/Low Budget Projects in Athens: https://yellowbrick.gr/step-47-low-budget-projectsGizem on Stegi Radio: https://stegi.radio/artist/gizem-uestuener
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 art policy development and co-founded the artistic research platform Jubilee. We cover a lot of ground in our conversation, from financialisation for the public good to automated art dividends, real estate speculation, bottom-up policymaking, new ways of mutualization, and the lure of art cooperatives.
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.Art in Permacrisis is a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises, hosted by Sepp Eckenhaussen.

Inte Gloerich is a critical media and technology researcher, and a colleague at the Institute of Network Cultures. She is one of the core people behind the research community MoneyLab. Inte also just finished a PhD on feminist blockchain imaginaries. We discuss blockchain beyond the hype, and beyond the wish to get rich fast. How can blockchain be a tool for radical imagination and decentralised autonomous organising in the arts? We discuss concepts and dilemma's, and briefly revisit what's left of the NFT boom, but we mainly dive into the practices of contemporary DAOs, from Dayra, to Black Swan, The Sphere, Circles, and CultureStake.

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 podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises. How can artists make a living without selling their souls? Can we imagine and practice a sustainable art economy beyond precarity? How should we transform the circulation of artworks, the curriculum of art and design academies, the exhibition programs of museums, and the organization of collectives and unions? We invite speakers with combined backgrounds in art, theory, and organizing to share their insights.Art in Permacrisis is a podcast of the Institute of Network Cultures and Caradt.

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 produced in the ephemeral landscape of artist-run initiatives — in order to strengthen the non-institutional art world and generate new energy for self-organization.Spaces:Galerie de Jaloezie (Rotterdam, NL)Peach (Rotterdam, NL)Boo2 (Amsterdam, NL)Interviewees:Boo2Anne Vera Veen, Galerie de JaloezieGhislain Amar, PeachFilming and Production (Studio): Tommaso Campagna, Jordi Viader GuerreroFilming (Onsite): Roman TkachenkoVideo Editing and Animation: Giovanni RossettiIntro Music: Daniel Leix-PalumboGraphic Design (background): Mieke GerritzenVideo version: https://networkcultures.org/void/2023/04/24/the-void-08-a-vi…elf-organization/Published by the Institute of Network Cultures, Amsterdam 2023.This video is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.)

In this episode we hear a conversation between Sepp Eckenhaussen from the INC team and Bruno Alves de Almeida from the Jan van Eyck academy, on art residencies in the Netherlands. Amongst the questions discussed are how to imagine the future of residencies in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, and what the position of residencies is in a world full of crises.Repository/References: https://networkcultures.org/void/repository/the-void-07-repository-the-future-of-art-residencies/Video version: vimeo.com/788325864/Hosts: Sepp Eckenhaussen and Bruno Alves de AlmeidaFilming and Production: Tommaso Campagna, Ray (Anastasia) Dolitsay and Giovanni RossettiVideo Editing and Animation: Mathilde Hjelle and Tommaso CampagnaIntro Music: Daniel Leix-PalumboGraphic Design (background): Mieke GerritzenPublished by the Insitute of Network Cultures, Amsterdam 2023.This video is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.)
Extinction Internet is not merely an end-of-the-world phantasy of digital technology that one day will be wiped out by an electromagnetic pulse or the cutting of cables. 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 inspirational guidance of the consultancy class. What’s to be done to uphold the inevitable? We need tools that decolonize, redistribute value, conspire and organize. Join the platform exodus. It’s time for a strike on optimization. There is beauty in the breakdown.Extinction Internet is Geert Lovink’s inaugural lecture, held on November 18, 2022 as Professor of Art and Network Cultures, within Modern and Contemporary Art History, Faculty of Humanities, University of Amsterdam.Download the full pdf here: https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/extinction-internet/Recorded and edited by Tommaso CampagnaMusic by UVGLOV (https://soundcloud.com/anastasia-dolitsay)
By Mathilde Hjelle and The Void TeamWhat 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, it is always in development. Thus, we are reaching for means to archive and share our experience for future projects to come, both of our own and from others. We seek to blur the boundaries between formats to create a transformative agenda that expands publishing for practice-based research.Read the full article here: https://networkcultures.org/void/2022/12/19/the-void-blog-lo…n-collaborations/
