Mondotheque.be is a platform for experiments with the legacy of the universalist and documentalist Paul Otlet: drawings, images, systems, ideas.

The site is hosted by the Brussels association for arts and media Constant, and named after La Mondothèque, Otlet's design for an imaginary device, a research machine that could be at the same time archive, instrument, workstation, catalog and broadcasting machine.

Mondotheque.be is inspired by the obstinate spirit of Paul Otlet, and wants to look at the way knowledge is managed and distributed today in a way that allows us to invent other futures and different narrations of the past.
