Brussels Based Collective Chaos Village curates our opening night '24!
Chaos Village takes over two different spaces at Pilar in an experimental and eclectic curation blending live music, djing, pluridisciplinary installations into a shape shifting yet gentle mix between care, party, mediums and genres, intimate and collective stories/ practices and longings. The glitch, in its largest definition, is what draws the link in this organized chaos, building singular and underground narratives.
Defined as a minor dysfunction of an electronic system, the glitch symbolizes the error in late stage capitalism through its artifacts, artifacts that try to hide their conditions of production through polished images, sounds or objects. The glitch unveils the fragility of these artifacts, their materiality and their potential failure. By twisting them we look for speculative ways out of a technocratic system.
The glitch, as developed by the researcher Legacy Russel, and its aesthetic of failure is inherently intertwined with marginalized identities and communities, and draws a link between both an artistic and technical angle, and our relationship to our own identities, as individuals and as a collective. Glitched identities are identities that can’t be grasped by the norm: this failure to function within the standards is a necessary refusal, and this glitch creates for us a space in which new possibilities of being, individually and collectively can thrive.
Glitch demystifies objects, sounds and images. It steps away from standardization, formats, material fetish: in clear opposition to high tech, high definition, hi-fi we turn towards pixels, broken images, parasites, distorsions, interferences as artistic tools.
Through hacking of existing objects, and by bending technologies, genres, and approaches between the analog and digital, we attempt to break the fetishism linked to technological aspirations, objects and their uses, as they play a role in new shapes of domination. With small acts of hacking, we refuse an “expert” approach to tech, art and music, often synonymous with domination dynamics: to technical prowesses we prefer playful experimentation and errors, and joyful hijacking of tools and genres, be they fictional, analog or digital.
Glitch refuses standards, norms, classifications, it creates a temporary utopian space in dystopia’s gaps.

18:00 / Tumba
Tumba (they/them) is a performer, facilitator and organiser using the potency of poetry to create spaces of grounded reflection. On and off the stage, Tumba aims to be a walking offering, a resilient reminder to breathe, and return our sorrows back to the soil. Believing in the healing power of collective ritual, they use guided meditation, breathwork and movement as a way of holding, molding and creating space. Throughout Tumba’s practice, the common thread connecting everything is woven from vulnerable reflection, the magical metaphors hidden in (our) nature, and the shared prayer to be seen for who we are.
Tumba is planting seeds and growing community with Back2SoilBasics, a collective seeking to make the philosophy of permaculture accessible to marginalized communities in and around Brussels through urban interventions. This translates into workshops, participatory design, collective cooking sessions, foraging, and much more. B2SB holds the belief that finding connection with nature is a portal to a more loving and living society.
18:30 / leïla alice
Leïla alice, is a transdisciplinary artist based in Brussels who embodies their most authentic expression through their alter ego lilo soleil. With a solar will to always try to tell their story they navigate between make-up, voice, body and words. With the common denominator of always letting colours tell their personalities.
19:30 / Basile3
Basile3 is a French producer, his universe mixes styles and BPMs, between bass music infused with rap and contemporary r’n’b sounds to more introspective and contemplative music. He has been producing for years a singular, rich, sensual and cold music.
Basile3's music has always been steadily adventurous and honest. Each one of his projects point in different directions and try to explore new sonic palettes. Lulled by R’n’B, Grime and Club Music sounds, Basile3 brings it into his own cinematic, introspective and fanciful universe.
20:30 / J BOY
J BOY’s practice goes through the body and across different mediums such as text, sound, installation, textile, dance; dealing with the body and its ornamentation. While public spaces induce much violence, clothing becomes an object of power and collective emancipation. Shoes are like drifting tyres, breathing is a purring engine, and words are acceleration. The artist diverts the entire lexical field of the crash to embrace the failure. Taking tuning as a source of inspiration, J BOY draws a parallel between the body and the car being pimped and bulking. The slightest shock can be polished, and its trace then muted into memory. Disturbing bodies are pimped to find their place in the hatred they may suffer. J BOY’s work tends towards love, tolerance and self-acceptance.
21:00 / Brainrot Cowboy
Brainrot Cowboy (@ohn + @marion__laser) is a Brussels based experimental post-punk duo navigating through weird sounds, dizzy noises and dismembered rhythms. Embodying influences from noisy post-punk, experimental rock or dystopian electronic music, Brainrot Cowboy articulates sonic pieces leaving space for improvisation, in a meta but intimate mess.
22:00 / DTR
DTR is the Brussels based duo consisting of marlen and STELLIUM brought together by their love for dark and twisted sounds. They layer soundscape of industrial techno, breaks and heavy bass that will kick your ass.
23:00 / NMSS
NMSS (Nemesis) is an Afropean, Genderfluid artist born from the blend of French and Ivorian culture. This DJ/Producer based in Brussels proposes a rich universe oscillating between euphoric and dystopic atmospheres. NMSS always surprises the audience with their high energy sets, celebrating the role of Afro-descendant and queer communities in electronic music. Their captivating selection pushes boundaries of genres and embraces experimentation with a cheeky touch of humor. They like to explore Latin core, Batida, Techno, Hyperpop, Global Bass, Ghetto Tech, Bouyon, Hyper Ambient and more to deconstruct the conventional script of a dj set. Emotion always comes first and it’s best served hot.
00:00 / Ojoo
Known for ojoo's eclectic mix of styles, tempos, and sounds, ojoo, formerly known as OJOO GYAL, has a talent for blending diverse elements into a captivating and infectious experience.
Born and raised in Morocco and currently based in Brussels, ojoo has built a reputation for crafting a sound uniquely her own through meticulous DJ mixes since 2019 at venues in Morocco and across Europe, as well as radio shows on Noods and Movement, and mixtapes on Accidental Meetings and Chrome.
ojoo's mixes pay as much attention to atmosphere as they do to groove. They are a bubbling cauldron of rhythms spanning a wide spectrum of genres, from old-school dancehall to the most futuristic and distorted mutations, winding through dub, reggaeton, dembow, grime, and sometimes venturing into noisy, gritty, and sludgy territories, with illbient, musique concrète, and more.

COLLECTIVE BIO
Chaos Village is an emerging pluridisciplinary Brussels-based collective consisting of Marion Laser (transdisciplinary artist, researcher, she/he), Simlo (multidisciplinary digital artist he/him), NMSS (DJ, music producer, they/ them) and STELLIUM (DJ, researcher, she/they) with ties to different local scenes in Brussels. Blending the members’ individual artistic practices and backgrounds on issues touching upon the tensions and potentialities between utopia, dystopia, and technology, Chaos Village thrives in a large spectrum of mediums to articulate notions of glitch and in intimate contexts and collective narratives. In this experimental and pluridisciplinary process, the collective tries to create a community of hackers in its broader sense: hackers as a network of brains making abstraction, twisting fictions while being aware of their agency.
