Welcome to CC, a collective research on the entanglements of [web-to-print/experimental publishing/design] practices with tools, cultures and infrastructure. Together, we run a server as part of this research, as a place where we can meet to reflect on these entanglements while participating in them. With CC we continuously try to find time to slow down, take care of the maintenance of the server, and to spend time together to think outside of the speed and temporality of sprints, commissions, projects, teaching and public programme activities. It is a space for pausing, digestion and reflection facilitated by invitations.

CC is currently maintained by Simon, Manetta and Doriane from Rotterdam/Brussels and is hosting a few things:

We propose to sign the collective calendar (on the right) when using any of these tools (which in practice is most often the octomode instance).

Below the calendar you can find the CC-collective conditions for use we formulated, which is something we would like to come back to revisit.

We use this wiki as a working environment to produce publications with, organise the collective CC server maintenance work, and document things we do.

Octomode is a collective editing space for PDF making, using Etherpad, Paged.js and Flask.

Inspired by the multi-centered, tentacular cognition capabilities of the octopus, we imagined a space in which the artificial boundaries of writing and design can be crossed; where writing, editing and designing can be done in one environment simultaneously, allowing the format to influence the matter and vice-versa.

The version installed on CC is open for use, it is password protected, reach out to us to ask for it, we share the password in an open ended network of trusted-peers and trusted-peers-of-peers.
