A cane, sticky notes, another body

During 2024 Constant’s research focused on the problems of accessibility of physical and virtual spaces.

Through worksessions, workshops and artistic research commissions, Constant opened up a field of technical-artistic experimentation addressing these urgent issues.

The title of this trajectory referred to several dimensions of accessibility. The cane was an example of a physical tool, the adhesive memo referred to means of aiding memory, such as a post-it note, or a voice assistant. The other body represented the collective care, formal and informal, that binds people together.
