Verbindingen / Jonctions

Annual multidisciplinary festival that was organised by Constant between 2000 and 2013

The program of Verbindingen/Jonctions (VJ) combined high-, low- and no-tech strategies from utopian, contemporary, traditional and tribal cultures with open standards, free licenses, feminism and queer theories. The festival offered radio makers, artists, software programmers, academics, linux users, interface designers, urban explorers, performance artists, technicians, lawyers and others an occasion to experience each other’s practices, and to share their activities and interests with a broad public of visitors interested.
