About 🗲

COMMON GROUND 🗲 is a creative, practice-led research project that builds and experiments with online publishing systems designed for collaboration, social engagement, and critical reflection. At its core, the project treats software infrastructure as a creative instrument, a research method, and activist tool, exploring how digital systems shape information, collaboration, and possibilities for collective action across activist and creative communities.

COMMON GROUND bridges creative practice, grassroots activism, and ecological computing, imagining alternative ways to co-design, maintain, and govern urban data. By foregrounding play, experimentation, and collective learning, the project challenges conventional urban regeneration models, where data often reinforces displacement and environmental harm. It proposes shared, sustainable, and socially accountable digital infrastructures that support creativity, public engagement, and collective action.
