X STANDS FOR THE UNKNOWN OR INVISIBLE
COMMONS IS UNDERSTOOD AS A SHARED RESOURCE / CAPITAL / SYSTEM / CAPABILITY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY AS A SHARED INABILITY / DEBT / WEAKNESS
x-commons is conceived as a critical spatial practice and an open collaborative to explore the questions of commons plus aesthetics. As a platform for public scholarship, x-commons explores the relationship between power and knowledge, and the regimes of legibility as it relates to the production of a public realm. The primary line of inquiry is about the heuristics of commons. Regardless of the object/scale/scope, x-commons is not about the question "what" but "how," i.e., how the commons work and how the commons can be explicated. In this regard, x-commons is a collector of commons' heuristics.
The current theme is about the underlying infrastructure of things, protocols, concepts, and presuppositions that inform the project of design and planetary governance at the time of surveillant environmental mandate.
