In the past few years, generative and predictive algorythms have hijacked a huge share of cultural workers’ attention, especially when we think about production, collaboration, and future imaginaries. In this publication, Lucy Perineau and Pierre Huyghebaert draw, write, and chat about emotional responses to algorythmic overload, collect resources for analysing and questioning mainstream narratives, and list new experiences that can help us reposition and flourish in a moving and mutating field. This 48-page zine has a print run of 2000 copies.

The zine was launched and distributed in paper format at Culture Converge 2026. The Belgian launch will take place at Kaaitheater in Brussels on June 20th, 2026. Register here.

This is a joint publication by ENCC, Constant, TITiPI, and Kaaitheater.
