The picnic is under title “Never work, or the praise of laziness” and is indeed about various forms of individual sloth, collective idleness and joyful ways of practicing no - work.
Basically - no installing of any kind of program (it would demand far too much curatorial
labour). But - if anybody feels like preparing various games, excesizes and playful means
of practicing no - work or laziness - you are more then welcome! Both active participation
and absolute passivity are accepted. We will realize all the ideas on spot.
To be theoretically prepared to this hard task of total indolence, check out following
