<p><aclass="internal-link"href="/hypha">Hypha</a>’s practice is situated across many topics that are present in the theme of <em>Adaptive Reuse & Creative Misuse</em>. Drawing from our collective experiences, histories, and methodologies, our goal for the micro-residency to investigate how notions of digital <aclass="internal-link"href="/infrastructure">infrastructure</a> can be reused, reinterpreted, and reconfigured, to realize a kind of <aclass="internal-link"href="/public-space">public space</a>. Our approach to this theme will be composed of a few, very preliminary, subjects that will ground the residency: the situated histories of digital infrastructure, the implications of protocols for <aclass="internal-link"href="/publishing">publishing</a> (<aclass="internal-link"href="/hypertext">Hypertext</a>, <aclass="internal-link"href="/rss">RSS</a>, <aclass="internal-link"href="/peer-to-peer">Peer-to-peer</a>) in defining public spaces, and the possibilities of cooperative approaches to maintenance and repair. Our intent is to make the process of this investigation <spantitle="There is no note that matches this link."class="invalid-link">
<spanclass="invalid-link-brackets">[[</span>
public
<spanclass="invalid-link-brackets">]]</span></span> through online tools mapping our thinking about the theme (Open channels in Are.na as one example) and cultivating a <aclass="internal-link"href="/digital-public-garden">Digital Public Garden</a> as part of Hypha’s contributions to the initiative (a <aclass="internal-link"href="/rss">resyndicatable</a> adaptive online notebook). The outputs from the <aclass="internal-link"href="/bentway">micro-residency</a> will be a written contribution to the <ahref="https://www.are.na/from-later/field-guide-to-the-digital-real"><em>Field Guide to the Digital Real</em></a> and a micro-website containing the synthesis of our investigations and our evolving practice. The outputs will be textual and visual, and draw from our collaborative practices as a cooperative. They will explore ways to represent relationships with existing and emergent technologies within our communities. Through our micro-residency we will capture a poetic interpretation of the theme and provide prompts for institutions in the city on how they could reconfigure technology to create radically creative platforms.</p>
