About this event
In the second edition of Locating Enter the team behind this online platform investigates the relationship between access to cultural institutions by people with a (functional) limitation and the design and use of digital tools that can improve this access.
As a platform, Enter is an experimental site in constant development. Rather than presenting a polished ‘product’, we like to maintain it as a continuous work-in-progress, much like a ‘garden’. Taking influences from the concept of the ‘digital garden’ we aim to cultivate and nourish our online environments as a community and collectively develop a space of evolving ideas. The idea behind the ‘digital garden’ captures the desire for exploratory experiences, a welcoming of digital weirdness, and a healthy amount of resistance to top-down structures.
Research scientist Mike Caufield argues that digital gardening is not about specific tools (i.e. a plugin or template). It's a different way of thinking about our online behaviour around information - one that accumulates personal knowledge over time in an explorable space and implies shared responsibility of nurturing that space amongst all users.
