KAM Workshop 2009 — KERNEL: Shelves :: August 17-27, 2009 at 10:00 am :: Chania, Crete, Greece :: Call for Participation — Deadline: July 20, 2009.

KERNEL constitutes a conceptual and participative platform that has the intention to encourage a dialogue, on the internet but also in physical space, on practices of management of information, of the designing process and of creativity. KERNEL’s research subject is the design of a physical space in an open source-like way. The involvement is realized through designing proposals about in-situ actions that take place in this constructed space and indicate its structure. This is achieved by the processing of the initial idea-design (or by the processing of other participant’s designs) and by the submission of proposals for the construction and the actions that will accompany it through kernel-forum.com.

In this year’s “works on shelves”, KAM workshop will investigate the materiality of the archive and the literal possibility for the construction of memory platforms through theory and practice.

Participants are going to utilize the KERNEL platform to create new projects and KERNEL versions in the wider context of the workshop program.
