Salut #Bruxelles !
Avec mon amoureuse on cherche un 🏠 appartement / studio à #BXL à partir de début-mi-mars pour environ 6 mois. Pour deux bien sûr.

On a un budget de ~1000€ TTC. Et on n'est pas exigeants, juste que ça ne soit pas en colocation, et que ça ne soit pas à l'autre bout du monde. 😳

Si vous avez des connaissances / plans / idées écrivez-moi et sinon partagez SVP! 💖

Back from "Résistances tissées" (first part), a three days workshop at L'école des Beaux Arts de Marseille with students from the school and students from Les Arts Déco de Paris, textile design section. We (@AntoineGelgon and @lionel) were invited by Sybille Berger and Alban-Paul Valmary, together with Orsina Visconti and Sarah Schradder. The students were asked to try to find and exploit flaws in an object detection model and a face detection model we installed on a dedicated computer, linked to a webcam located in the room. They will eventually weave 6 textile objects next month at Les Arts Déco workshop in Paris.

The commodity frontiers journal website is up, with a lot of great articles about the history and present of capitalism, contestation, and ecological transformation in the global countryside.

We (@AntoineGelgon, @simon_bvr and @lionel) designed and developped the new website, layout and web-to-print system for the CFI team to publish the Journal both on the website and on academics repositories.
A huge thanks to Mindi Schneider and @marjolijn_dijkman for their trust and their work!

A year ago, we ( @simon_bvr and @lionel ), made the website https://firstwaves.be.
It was the first project made at those.tools and I think it is quite exemplative of what the studio is about: this website is an online publication that gives access to silenced stories through a series of documents - radio broadcasts, films, newspapers, leaflets, testimonials, etc from the first waves of struggles for dignity of the Maghrebi and Black diasporas in Belgium. Firstwave uses the tool Chemins (https://those.tools/tools/chemins/) for its backend, a tool made for documents based research. The project was initiated by the Brussels collective The Kichen, with the support of Equal.Be, MENARG & S:PAM (UGent) and BIRMM (VUB).

@liaizon :) hey thank you very much! Please note that Chemins is not so easy to install right now (and very linked to the projects you mentioned) but I hope to get to a more generic version by the end of the year. Still, if you want to test it in its current state, I can give you some tips!

For the last few weeks, we - @simon_bvr & @lionel - have been working on a new sound map of Brussels for BNA-BBOT. The previous one was made 12 years ago and it really needed an update. Among the changes and new features of the map, there is an important shift : it doesn't need any external API to work anymore. No more Google Maps API for the data, the tiles, the directions, the geocoding; no MapBox, MapTiler, Radar, ... everything is hosted and served on the BNA-BBOT server, with OSM, TileServer, Nominatim, OSRM and MapLibre GL JS.

There is a launch evening planned at BNA-BBOT (119 rue de Laeken, 1000 Bruxelles, 8pm) next wednesday. Please drop by if you're in Brussels!
