The OT301 has been squatted (1999) and bought (2006) by a diverse, international community that is united in an association called EHBK. We run this alternative, not-for-profit platform as a collective, in which housing, workspaces and public functions are combined to contribute to the arts, politics and subculture.

On the 1st of July at 8 PM, OT301 invites you to the book launch of The Heat of Others by Morgane Billuart. The reading will be accompanied by a prologue by Macarena Magaña and a soundscape by Jiji Jizu.

The Heat of Others follows Max, a young researcher who travels to Svalbard, Norway, to speak at a conference on the ethics of mind enhancement. There she encounters a high-tech experimental building powered by “Dual Resolve,” a system that harvests human body heat. As the conference unfolds, the warmth of bodies and the pressure begin to blur, pulling Max into a state of growing uncertainty where thought and sensation are no longer discernible.

Morgane Billuart is a writer and storyteller whose work navigates the intersection of critical inquiry and narrative practice. Her practice spans writing and visual media, exploring how technology shapes contemporary modes of imagination, perception, and social relations. She is an affiliated researcher at the Institute of Network Cultures and the New Center for Research and Practice, and co-hosts the podcast GirlEmployee with Carmen Lael Hines. Her written works include The Heat of Others (2026), Cycles, Becoming the Product (2025), and The Sacred and the Doomed (2024), reflecting a sustained engagement with the material and cultural entanglements of technological development.
