[-empyre-] practice as a means towards academic self-criticism / research as a curatorial enterprise

Haha, this was unintended, but I believe it could be reasonably
connected to the strategies of rule-bending evoked by Lasse. (I’m
actually particularly fascinated by methods that provoke anomalies,
creating opportunities to overcome/ contradict their own results – but
this still seem a bit offtopic for the discussion or even for science
in general.)

What about what the system records automatically, or what the other
participants might record for their own purposes? Do you consider how
these documents might interact/contradict/supplement one another? How
relevant it is to have these different ways of accessing the original
conversation, when it comes to interpreting/mythologizing it? Can a
(possible) concurrence of public/ private accounts interfere in the
process of commoning?

Oh, it wasn’t meant to have the weight of a “concept”, I was just
trying to refer to a process of commoning that would be planned or
developed in a centralized way (by one person, for example).

Best!
