Acknowledgements

Volumetric Regimes is the outcome of a collective process, inhabiting a thick network of para-academic solidarity between practitioners of different media, methods and tongues. We first of all would like to thank the interlocutors that have contributed to this book with their wonderful thinking, drawing, imagining and writing: Sophie Boiron, Maria Dada, Pierre Huyghebaert, Phil Langley, Nicolas Malevé, Romi Ron Morrison, Simone C Niquille, Helen V. Pritchard, Blanca Pujals, Sina Seifee and Kym Ward.

A huge thanks also to those who have been in conversation with the project at large, including: Ramon Amaro, Mercé Ardèvol, Tere Badia, Laura Benítez, Ona Bros, Gonzalo Correa, Emile Devereaux, Daphne Dragona, Marta Echaves, Laura Fernández, Sonia Fernández-Pan, Abelardo Gil-Fournier, Antye Guenther, Seda Gürses, Marie Lechner, Max and Franz Lehner, Alejandra López Gabrielidis, Zoumana Meïté, Martino Morandi, Paula Pin, Dennis Pohl, Anna Ramos, Carmen Romero Bachiller, SpiderAlex, Sophie Toupin, Peter Westenberg, Kathryn Yusoff, François Zajega and Adva Zakai.

The articulation of this research became a possibility during a fellowship at Akademie Schloss Solitude (Science and Business department) in Stuttgart and was further developed with a grant from the Flemish Government between 2017 and 2018. Other cultural and academic organisations supported us by inviting Possible Bodies for workshops, exhibitions, discussions and residencies: transmediale, Berlin; Hangar, Barcelona; Medialab Prado, Madrid; Constant, Brussels; Furtherfield, London; Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht; Festival Gelatina, Madrid; Universidad de la República and Casa Mario, Montevideo; Fuga, Barcelona; Goldsmiths University, London; Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid; La Gaîté Lyrique, Paris; Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam; Radio MACBA, Barcelona; a.pass, Brussels; Fem TEK, Bilbao; FAP-TEK, Montevideo; University of Sussex, Brighton; Azala, Lasierra; and CSNI, London. Thank you participants, colleagues, comrades and also organizers, editors and curators with whom we had long and short exchanges over the years.

We want to acknowledge everyone who helped make this work available, accountable and legible, from on-line hosting, designing, peer-reviewing and transcribing to copy-editing. Thank you Geoff Cox and Joasia Krysa for your generous support as editors; Constant for providing us with an array of tools and practices plus a wide window to display our tilted sensibilities; Manetta Berends for the inspiring design collaboration and your comradeship; Nerea Calvillo, Eric Snodgrass, Magda Tyżlik-Carver for your invaluable comments combining rigour with enthusiasm; Mara Ittel, Fanny Wendt Höjer and Marc Herbst for your meticulous attention to detail and a special thanks to Helen V. Pritchard for their close companionship in the ongoing revolving of all matters.

We are deeply grateful for all the maintenance and care work involved in the making of first the artistic research of the Possible Bodies Inventory, and into a book later. Volumetric Regimes would not exist without the encouraging and supportive energies coming from companions, colleagues, friends, ancestors, and lovers of many sorts. Thank you all, for the inspiring and groundbreaking questions that you kept asking, full of constructive critique and sharp provocations. The depths and densities we need to embrace complexity with, would certainly not be possible without these thick currents of radical interdependencies.
