Common practice at Transmediale was an experiment into language and code,and doing things with people, machines and software. This experiment run for the duration of the festival and was also a beta testing of the platform which included collaborative practices between wiki, software called IRK.a and human participants. Referencing the BWPWAP theme of the Transmediale festival, the project invitated to process/discuss/research together the idea that THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN (TINNUTS).
Common practice is a curated space run by software, machines and people and dedicated to experiencing and promoting language and code as common practice. Common practice is partly automated and partly human executed and is the result of bringing together number of elements including people, computers, software, wiki, irc channel, literature, commands, institutions, individuals, practices and many others.
The project is inspired by previous, present and future works, collaborations, conversations, disagreements and provocations.
