Alchorisma alludes to the relationships between algorithms, charisma, rhythm, alchemy and karma. Alchorisma is a Constant worksession which looks at integrating cosmogenetic views with the charisma surrounding technology. We look at ways to infect existing algorithmic models with positions that acknowledge the importance of co-existence with non-human entities.

The Alchorisma worksession takes place from 2nd - 8 December 2018 at Z33, House for Contemporary Art in Hasselt, Belgium. Working language is English.

Constant’s worksessions are intensive transdisciplinary sessions organised twice a year. We create a temporary working environment where participants from different backgrounds come together to develop projects and research ideas. We prefer to use Free, Libre and Open Source software and data available under open licenses.
