Algolit Algolit is a workgroup around i-literature, free code and texts. It was initiated by Constant in 2012. The group meets regularly following the principles of the Oulipo-meetings: they share work and thoughts and create together, with or without the company of an invitee. Algolit is open to anyone interested in exchanging practises around digital ways of reading and writing.

The database is a rich resource that has not been studied very much yet. Existing research shows some fascinating possible topics, around feminism, nature/ecology, colonialism... The idea is to create a new algoliterary work in 2025. It is the plan, anyway! You can join for 1 session or be part of the core team that will work towards the creation of the algoliterary work. All meetings take place in An Mertens' house, Place du Jeu De Balle 7, 1000 Brussels, from 10h till 18h.
