| − | '''''Domains, Publics and Access''. WikiSprint for a Media Archaeology of the Present.'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''Domains, publics and access'' is an ongoing research project in media archaeology of the present been
| |
| − | developed in Mexico by the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana and the Alumnos47 Foundation since
| |
| − | 2015. The core of the research is a wiki where we collect projects that offer access for the general public to
| |
| − | the domains of art, culture, economics, politics, science, and technology.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Collection''' is dedicated to cataloguing, preserving and documenting projects that propose or investigate
| |
| − | general access to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services previously restricted
| |
| − | mainly to specialists and professionals. Combining the mass media with heterogeneous social practices the
| |
| − | projects question the vertical and centralized management of access by public and private institutions
| |
| − | historically associated with art, culture, economics, politics, science, and technology such as museums,
| |
| − | galleries, libraries, archives, publishers, laboratories, universities, companies, banks, hospitals,
| |
| − | governments, political parties, factories, etc.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Projects that experiment with more horizontal and decentralized management models appear on the web
| |
| − | associated with recent terms such as open access, open data, open content, open education, open
| |
| − | government, open design, open spectrum, open science, cryptocurrencies, citizen journalism, citizen
| |
| − | science, collaborative economy, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, free software, free culture, p2p, tactical
| |
| − | urbanism ... These new terms coexist with old terms such as commons, public domain, time banks,
| |
| − | grassroots media, solidarity economy, community currencies, cryptography, cooperatives, tactical media,
| |
| − | DIY or piracy. All of them constitute the vocabulary of current forms of access, keywords of a vanishing
| |
| − | present.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Collection brings together projects that have emerged in different countries from the second half of the
| |
| − | 20th century to the present day, with special attention to those developed in Mexico where the research
| |
| − | began. The only condition is that the projects should be associated with the vocabulary of current forms of
| |
| − | access counting on the participation of the general public in all domains of social activity. The collection
| |
| − | includes, equally, projects launched by public and private institutions and different actors of civil society,
| |
| − | since the questioning of the vertical and centralized management of access by institutions historically
| |
| − | associated with the various domains is taking place inside and outside of them. In this way the Collection
| |
| − | deals with the contemporary coexistence and hybridization between new and old models of access
| |
| − | management that present different degrees of centralization and decentralization, verticality and
| |
| − | horizontality.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Projects are categorized according to the categories and subcategories associated with the three main
| |
| − | sections in which the wiki is divided. In '''Domains''', the projects are indexed according to their main
| |
| − | ascription to one or several Domains: Art, Science, Culture, Economics, Politics and Technology. In
| |
| − | '''Publics''', projects are labeled based on their linguistic, geographical and temporal universe. We catalog all
| |
| − | the Language(s) in which each project is published, the Start Country(ies), the Start Year and the Year of
| |
| − | Completion. In '''Access''', the projects are classified according to the vocabulary of current forms of access.
| |
| − | As this vocabulary appears and is popularized mainly in English, the main menu categories are in this
| |
| − | language: Citizen, Collaborative, Commons, Co-ops, Crowd, Crypto, DIY, Free, Future, Grassroots, Open,
| |
| − | P2P, Pirate, Private, Public, Tactical. The translation is found in the subcategories that also expand the
| |
| − | forms of access linked with each category in English and Spanish. (We are currently translating the entire
| |
| − | site in English).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To show how the vocabulary of current forms of access is diversified with use, the wiki allows participants
| |
| − | to add new categories and subcategories following the terms that the projects apply to define themselves.
| |
| − | When the terms are not shown explicitly or appear under a slightly different version, the categories and
| |
| − | subcategories already indexed are assigned according to the criteria of the participant. Only the
| |
| − | subcategories Nonprofit (Private), Profit (Private) and State (Public) are part
| |
| − | of the cataloguing of all projects. In that way the public initiatives of governments are distinguished from
| |
| − | all others and the business model and legal status of the project are indicated when they are clearly
| |
| − | published. These cataloguing criteria also apply to projects that lack legal form or do not clearly state what
| |
| − | their legal status is.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | All the necessary information for the cataloguing is extracted from the project websites. Even the main
| |
| − | sources for new projects are the links that they establish with other initiatives. In exceptional cases are
| |
| − | secondary sources of information used to complete the cataloguing. The Collection does not pretend to be
| |
| − | exhaustive. The selection is personal and depends on the online tours done by each participant as they
| |
| − | register different projects in the wiki. Each participant is a curator and has her/his own “playlist”.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The goal is to preserve the memory of the projects that appear and disappear day by day in different
| |
| − | countries by using the tools available online. As these are recent projects, all have or had a website that is
| |
| − | saved in [http://archive.org/web/ Wayback Machine], the free service that [https://archive.org/ Internet Archive]
| |
| − | offers to preserve web pages in WARC format. In addition, all the Documentation of
| |
| − | the projects is also preserved in [https://archive.org/ Internet Archive] for future generations.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Documentation''' offers complementary information about the current forms of access in seven different
| |
| − | sections. '''Interviews''' follows a questionnaire published by the fanzine Radical Software in 1970. The
| |
| − | questionnaire applies to anyone involved in the projects who wish to provide their testimony. '''Manifestos'''
| |
| − | exposes all kinds of perspectives about access, reactionary and progressive, that show how each new media
| |
| − | present is transformed throughout the history of this genre. New manifestos appear and old manifestos are
| |
| − | forgotten, so this incomplete collection by definition offers a selection that hopes to be enriched with new
| |
| − | contributions. '''Library''' groups together books, articles, news, reports and any text dedicated to current
| |
| − | forms of access and projects indexed in the wiki that are available for online consultation and downloading.
| |
| − | Any document relevant to the current debates and reflections for the future of domains, publics and access
| |
| − | is welcome.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The reason for cataloguing, preserving and documenting projects responds to the fact that the limits of
| |
| − | access to the domains of art, science, culture, economics, politics and technology have never been stable
| |
| − | and will continue to change in the near future. In order to provide a broader picture for future generations of
| |
| − | the different forms of access, the collection includes all types of projects that are not only heterogenous but
| |
| − | also antagonistic. Regardless of whether these are public, private or civil society initiatives, for profit or
| |
| − | non-profit, local or global, activist, artistic, scientific, etc., from the left to the right of the political
| |
| − | spectrum, this wiki gathers examples of all of them. The historical limits of access are established not only
| |
| − | by consensus but also by antagonism between different perspectives which fight with each other by limiting
| |
| − | the access at a particular time and place. The wiki collects the terms that inform the current discussions
| |
| − | around access without taking the side of any of them. By displaying this vocabulary in its plurality and
| |
| − | organizing it by country, a tool is offered through which all stakeholders can participate in the discussion or
| |
| − | gain an idea of the possibilities available in their own context to judge for themselves the risks and
| |
| − | opportunities that each form of access and each project puts into play.
