Femke Snelting

About

Artist and designer, developing projects at the intersection of design, feminism and free software. With Renée Turner and Riek Sijbring she forms De Geuzen (a foundation for multi-visual research). De Geuzen deploy both on- and offline strategies to explore their interest in female identity, critical resistance, representation, and narrative archiving. She is member of Constant, a Brussels based association for art and media. With Pierre Huyghebaert and Harrisson she initiated the interdisciplinary and international design collective OSP (Open Source Publishing). OSP tests the possibilities and realities of doing design, illustration, cartography and typography using a wide range of Free, Libre and Open Source Software tools.

Seminar

Affiliation

Constant is a non-profit association, an interdisciplinary arts-lab based and active in Brussels since 1997. Constant works in-between media and art and is interested in the culture and ethics of the World Wide Web. The artistic practice of Constant is inspired by the way that technological infrastructures, data-exchange and software determine our daily life. Free software, copyright alternatives and (cyber)feminism are important threads running through the activities of Constant. Constant organizes workshops, print-parties, walks and 'Verbindingen/Jonctions'-meetings for a public that likes experiments, discussions and exchanges of all sorts.
