# about compudanzas is a research project aimed at the development of alternative modes of computation. # mission we enlarge to a human-scale and slow down to a human-speed the processes that give rise to what is understood as computing. through our experiments we ask: what happens when computers are dances, rituals, games, instead of closed electronic boxes with a high environmental and social cost? to what extent can we reappropriate these logics to inspire other ways of being in the world? what can be the role of non-electronic, very slow, human-scale, and seemingly useless computers, in a world that seems to be in {collapse}? are they alternative and empowering didactic materials? {performances}? puzzles? passtimes? magic tricks? marvelous pursuits? # research {las danzas} is our main line of exploration. for the moment the texts are in spanish only; that should change soon. we also design and develop {coloring computers}. and we tend to write some {poetry} related to these interests. # meta this {wiki} is currently under construction. see the {roadmap} for what wants to happen, and read in the {log} what has happened. visit the index of all {pages} in the site. # contact => ./contact.gmi {contact}
