What is it that you hope to explore during your residency?
We are exploring the protocols, languages, and material of the internet as a place for experimentation and practice. The exploration is based on composing multiple histories of the internet into a collective resyndicatable digital public garden to weave the examples, narratives, and ideas together as a contribution to the Field Guide to the Digital Real. We are interested in how this garden can serve as a site for [micro] world-making as we repurpose the existing internet through our practice.
Can you provide a great, existing example (that we can share with audiences who may be unfamiliar with this line of thinking/work)?

- https://pmvabf.org/: Printed Matter’s Virtual Art Book Fair. We think their shift to virtual this year was really neat to experience. They had a lot of support from folks and created an experience that feels unique and "of-the-net" instead of directly replicating the in-person event. We were also are thinking about https://www.anarchistbookfair.ca/tablers-2020/
