WORM, institute for avantgardistisc recreation - since 1999 - is a Rotterdam based artists collective, a venue and workspace for music, film and media. Born under the stars of punk, dada, fluxus, situationism and futurism, WORM has grown to a tenacious organisation that combines the 'do it yourself' mentality of it's ancestors with ultra-pragmatism, love for technology and good bookkeeping. The output of WORM is film, radio, concerts, performances, web projects, installations, cd's and a 24/7 web station. WORM focusses on Open Source, recycled material, superuse, seriousness and fun.
