https://www.w3.org/Proposal.html WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project From: T. Berners-Lee/CN, R. Cailliau/ECP Date: 12 November 1990 Abstract HyperText is a way to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will. Potentially, HyperText provides a single user-interface to many large classes of stored information such as reports, notes,…
A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for accessing the [[World Wide Web]]. When a user requests a web page from a particular website, the web browser retrieves the necessary content from a web server and then displays the page on the user’s device. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser
[[Hypha]]’s practice is situated across many topics that are present in the theme of Adaptive Reuse & Creative Misuse. Drawing from our collective experiences, histories, and methodologies, our goal for the micro-residency to investigate how notions of digital [[infrastructure]] can be reused, reinterpreted, and reconfigured, to realize a kind of [[public space]]. Our approach to this theme will…

RSS (RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed that allows users and applications to access updates to websites in a standardized, computer-readable format. These feeds can, for example, allow a user to keep track of many different websites in a single news aggregator. The news aggregator will automatically check the RSS feed for new content, allowing the list to be…

A communication protocol is a system of rules that allows two or more entities of a communications system to transmit information via any kind of variation of a physical quantity. The protocol defines the rules, syntax, semantics and synchronization of communication and possible error recovery methods. Protocols may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of both.…
Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer Projects [[Hypercore]] [[IPFS InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)]] [[SSB Secure Scuttlebutt…

Set of areas that guide our reveries? The history of [[hypertext transfer protocol hypertext]], [[rss]]+adjacent protocols and standards. The act of [[publishing]] as “making something public” → publicness → hybrid [[public space]]. The possibilities for the infrastructural ([[maintenance]]/repair) to draw from the past to rethink the present through co-operative approaches.
