those.tools is a software development and design studio for research, editorial and publishing practices in the arts and social sciences. We develop free and open source tools for writing, archiving, mapping, designing and publishing research. 

We activate and adapt each tool to the context of every project we collaborate on. Wether for self-initiated projects or commissioned work, our aim is to explore new ways of doing things, recognizing the epistemological function of tools with a strong focus on collective creative processes.

These processes can produce a variety of objects: books, web platforms, sound installations… They may also, we hope, produce new ideas, new perspectives, new relations.

Open to collaborations, those.tools welcomes fellow designers, developpers, artists with an interest in these topics.

Lecture and workshop proposal in the Networked Practice Seminar, KHM

Introduction to the writing tool Marginalia in the context of the "Networked Practice" seminar organized by Sam Hopkins at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne.

Talk and workshop proposal
tool → Marginalia
by → Lionel Maes

At Sam Hopkins' invitation, I gave a short talk and we had a great discussion about the creation of digital tools for artistic research.

Students in the "Networked practices" seminar had the opportunity to experiment with collaborative writing using a specific version of Marginalia and produce a fanzine.
