• The Idle Institute (est. 2017) is a storytelling lab: a collective of writers, filmmakers, sound-artists and engineers founded by Eliot Allison and Sonia Bernac. 

  Combining theories of the public sphere with quantum physics, we are investigating the potentialities of the story — seen as virtual matter and a precise political tool. This emerges from the presumption of an unstable narrative field, in which we examine unexpected couplings and clashes between narrative particles. Our projects build from narrative experiments: poetic traps in urban space, phone pranks, impersonation games and sci-fi installations. We are currently developing a theory of the narratology of the public sphere, exploring narrative entanglement, machine(s) of writing and technologies of storytelling.
