| [EN] Doing Nothing is a practice-based research programme where we investigate what happens when we do nothing at all. We carve out time and space to "be," without expectations or desires for changing or achieving anything in particular. Doing nothing does not mean that we suddenly institute laziness or want to be bored. On the contrary, we find that occasionally bringing the relentless pace of doing to a halt is an essential part of the creative process, bringing a necessary distance, awareness and invigoration both to doing and being. | [EN] Doing Nothing is a practice-based research programme where we investigate what happens when we do nothing at all.
