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.

simbambili.org is a website made for the research project Simba Mbili by Sam Hopkins and Marian Nur Goni. The interface allows users to browse a series of audio excerpts from interviews conducted in the context of their research. Each excerpt maintains links with others, allowing users to create their own path as they visit the website.

This website was created at the same time and for the same exhibition as the research map for the ‘re-connecting “objects” ’ project.  Both of those objects have enabled Chemins to evolve as a website design, archiving and mapping tool.
