A letter from Claire Vivianne Sobottke, Maria Francesca Scaroni & Tian Rotteveel

Claire Vivianne Sobottke, Maria Francesca Scaroni & Tian Rotteveel are currently fellows at PACT. How did they experience the last weeks and how did this shape their collaboration? »During the last months, where life, relationships and work changed radically as a consequence of COVID, we were both inspired and forced to come up with alternative ways of meeting, researching and of creating mutual support in times of crisis*. Not able to touch, meeting outside became our working room.«

A letter from Sophie De Somere & Barbara Raes

During the time of the Corona crisis Sophie De Somere and Barbara Raes reflected on the notion of ›being with‹ and forms of care: “Being with” involves allowing yourself to be touched by the joys, sorrows and sadness of another. To be touched by external circumstances. We learned to “be with” during these months of pandemic crisis. It highly influenced our fellowhip at PACT, not only in the impossibility, but more overly in the potential to research how we could turn this dramatic period into something filled with radical hope. 

Threads of ›TechnoPoesis‹ – Letter

Johannes Paul Raether's aLifveForms and Nathan Fain are currently Fellows at PACT. In their letter they share an insight to their collaboration process and its thematic threads: »As part of the process of finding a common language between our artistic practices, we have started to situate our work as a grouping of threads that can be seen as collaborative methods which create a shared vector space. In some corners of this multi-dimensional space tangible outcomes may be blatantly noticeable, while in other areas the intersection of thematics seem distant making material outcomes elusive.«
