+This is a digital garden for the [Centre for Digital Culture (CDC)](https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/cdc) at [King's College London](https://kcl.ac.uk/).
+
+The Centre for Digital Culture is an interdisciplinary research centre promoting research and public engagement with digital culture, including the dynamics and practices, imaginaries and materialities, interactions and infrastructures, forms and formats that accompany the web, social media and networked digital devices. Through our projects and activities we support critical inquiry both with and about digital technologies across disciplines, languages, regions and online spaces.
+
+The Centre for Digital Culture is part of the [Digital Futures Institute](https://www.kcl.ac.uk/dfi).

+
+The website was developed with the [Autonomic cooperative](https://autonomic.zone/) drawing on a [digital garden project](https://thebentway.ca/stories/digital-and-as-public-space/) from [Hypha](https://hypha.coop/), a worker co-operative based in Toronto.
+
+It uses the following open source components:
+- **[Anthony](http://velvetyne.fr/fonts/anthony/)** - a typeface designed by [Sun Young Oh](https://www.sunyoungoh.com/) and inspired from artworks by British sculptor Anthony Caro. The form of this typeface comes from his sculptures that are leaning against each other. Anthony is licensed under the [SIL Open Font License v1.1](http://scripts.sil.org/OFL)
+- **[Work Sans](https://github.com/weiweihuanghuang/Work-Sans)** - a typeface designed by [Wei Huang](http://charlix.cx/) based loosely on early Grotesques. Work Sans was made in part on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nations. Work Sans is licensed under the [SIL Open Font License v1.1](http://scripts.sil.org/OFL)
+- **[Tachyons](https://tachyons.io/)** - a modular CSS library with a few extended features.
+- **[D3.js](https://d3js.org/)** - a JavaScript library for visualizing data. D3.js was used to create the interactive knowledge graph. Originally from [Digital garden Jekyll template](https://github.com/maximevaillancourt/digital-garden-jekyll-template) by Maxime Vaillancourt.
