Prograsme
January 11 - February 10, 2024

Prograsme is a contraction of the words "program" and "orgasm". The term opens the way to a rational and assured ecstasy, embodying the contradictions of utopia. It posits itself as a positive example of our work towards individual optimisation: enjoyment, healthy eating, proactive engagement in care practices, keeping abreast of current rhetorical and discursive technologies, and even overcoming our neuroses stemming from family heritage or (semi-)traumatic occurrences in our personal history.

Prograsm is only at the hypothesis stage; the research and development it would require would have to open up to a wider spectrum of disciplines and thematic areas, including:

- questioning the notions of the individual and identity, in order to overcome them-
engaging in a critical but non-reactionary approach to technology and its healing potential
- the acquisition of tools for analyzing concrete situations (information exchange networks, mutual support systems, physical places such as life, work or play environments)
- studying the utopian origins of rationalism in order to understand its subsequent aberrations
- rethinking the place of the sacred in a context of moral elasticity.
The list is not exhaustive.

In this way, new fictions of the past would be written, and new sciences of the future would materialize, according to the principles of a rhizomatic worldview, of non-binding truths with partial validity, inscribed in an ecosystem regulated by consensual and beneficial transactions.

Obviously, all this would be doomed to failure.
