1. Better to train for a survival that helps to withstand the present conditions and at the same time realizes another future right here in the now. 2. Acid Collège (the, f): educational institution, school, study community, institute; Vernacular: school for survival in caustic conditions, hanging-together-on-a-trippy-trip; from French acide, from Latin acidus (“sour, tart, acid, bitter”), from aceō (“I am sour, I am disagreeable”) and borrowed from Englisch college , which goes back to Old French collège; "The kids went for 3 years to the ACID Collège for a start“, „At the ACID Collège we try to rehearse for a different consciousness and a different practice, ones that help, to survive the given conditions", „What are these AST-publications about, that the ACID Collège is publishing?" 3. "Just as I can feel the conditions, how they try to penetrate me, try to colonize my thinking, wishing, and doing, want to enslave me and push me to control and to fit me in, I now feel my finger tips on the keys, the heels of my hands, a little sweaty and warm on the plastic, then my feet on the ground, my back against the wood, somehow also the fine, high-frequency pulse of the particles, as the transport rhythms, ambiances, images and information into my body, and now again the flowers lean themselves over to me out of the pots andtry to tip over into my eyes."

acid survival trainings

at irregular intervals, the acid collège organizes acid survival
trainings. these trainings are workshop-like sessions in which
we try to get aware of the conditions we live under and that
constitute us and from there try to train for a different mode
of action. For example, through embodiment of our discussions.
In the end, it's about finding new ways of daily doing, rituals, and
infra-structures that enable us to survive differently.

here we did a circa two months long training at im Kunstverein Langenhagen
in the beginning of 2023

acid solar &/or/x cosmic temples

also at irregular intervals, but usually around the winter and summer solstices or the spring and autumn equinoxes, we hold acid solar or acid cosmic temples. These temples are also a form of training, exploring, encountering, and celebrating our cosmic entanglement with the sun, moon, and the space and time between them. These temples usually take the form of temporary spaces in which we hold procession-like movement ceremonies, sometimes also rituals with all participants.

ASTs & ACTs

in parallel to the trainings the college publishes the so-called ASTs
or ACTs repectively, in which we try to broaden, to deepen or in
another way to continue the conversations, thoughts, attemps,
techniques or whatever else came up before, during or
after the trainings.
