... to that hole,where our conversingis apool ofknowledge welike
swimming in. Letsgo forthatwhole where the entireness ows are
oating within ourselves, blowing our egosandtyingthem together with
coincidences.[we try to create a social environment that works with
coincidences/arbitrariness/randomness AND come to a point of
precise critiquality.]We try tocreate an economy ofgiving without
taking and takingwithout asking, because givingis taking, and
asking is the basic critical gesture - it is opening theeld.The
open eld is the Metalogue -is the hole and thewhole for swimming
exercises.Lets go to ourislands, we must start swimming. Thepool
isours, inthe sense of common ground; theislandsis oursin terms of
individual viewpoints oting in the common ground. We is the self
thathas toworkout ration and relation between the pool and the
islands. Swimming is an fucking exhaustingworkout. Negotiation
isoneof thosetechniques that helps solving problems, but it does
nothelp to swimming. It is communication rescue. Swimming is
exhausting, but not problem. Itisconversation, dance, fail, edit,
give.It is non-negotiatedcollaboration.
Not the purposive analysis-toward-action of instrumentalreason:
a hesitant self-denition in suspension. Not an ex -tending out of
matter into thought-substitution, nor a dou-bling of perception by
thought: a folding of thought intomatter, at a point of
indistinguishability with perception.Matter self-perceiving,
doubling itself with its variations.

Editorial
This poster was produced in the course of a mate-
rialisation process of the a.pt workshop between
10.05 and 15.05 as part of the Bains connective
residency project DIY. The poster functions as
appendix to the Leakers workbook and as aninvitation for the nal
editing session on may
26th 28th.
It is not a coincidence that Joel inviting me to
participate in my own project, while I invited
him at exactly the same time for the exact samereason. At least,
the content of our invitation let-
ters was exactly totally not the same. This as well
is not a coincidence. In contrast, our subsequent
engagement in the project for witch we invited us
mutually was full of coincidences. We could call
it provoked serendipity (why not surrendipity), orenforced
coincidenting. But we call it with more
tacticalfeelings: a Not-Negotiated Collaboration
(NNC). The poster therefore is (or, would nothave been) a result
of a enforced failure to nd
what we wanted.Our goal was to hand over, to outsource, to
dis-
seminate this practice to others. But our engage-
ment didnt last yet for more then sharing it with
those others. Therefore I would like to invite youwith this
poster - which denitively represents
a NNC - to join me at a table. This table doesntexist yet; only,
we are cooking already! Together
with the rest of the 12 collaborators whove
received a copy of the workbook we will build upthe table -
another table. The rst table we built
for a workshop with participants of the a.pass
artistic research environment in Antwerp. Thistable was based on
The Leakers workbook, and
lead into this folder/poster. We normally build
tables through digesting, reading, transforming of
our resources; the archive, the Verlegt Verlag, The
Leakers, or this A0-concept.
We thank the participans of the HP ofcejet
9130 Errors workshop of a.pass/a.pt (advanced
performance training) and the Bains Connective,
which made this residency possible.
