TABULA RASA
Tabula Rasa is an experimental cultural commons dedicated to research, making, and myth-building across philosophy, art, design, and emergent forms of collective practice.
Rather than operating as a single institution, Tabula Rasa functions as a distributed machine — a platform where texts, artworks, objects, events, and ideas coexist without being subordinated to fixed disciplines or hierarchies. Its structure is intentionally open, allowing meaning to emerge through use, proximity, and interpretation.
Central to Tabula Rasa is the practice of archiving Partial Objects. Partial Objects are not only works produced by Tabula Rasa, but anything encountered and deemed of value — texts, artworks, recordings, images, or artifacts — that are preserved as both physical and digital instances. Each Partial Object is archived and uploaded to IPFS, ensuring durability, traceability, and availability for future research.
A Partial Object is understood as incomplete by nature. Its significance does not lie in claiming totality or authority, but in its capacity to enter new constellations of thought when placed alongside other materials. Through this practice, Tabula Rasa seeks to map cultural, philosophical, and material conditions without reducing them to singular narratives.
Tabula Rasa is invested in how knowledge circulates outside institutional enclosures — who preserves it, how it is accessed, and how it remains alive over time. Publishing, design research, film, events, and speculative artifacts operate not as endpoints, but as nodes within a larger, evolving archive.
Tabula Rasa is not a brand or a closed movement. It is an ongoing experiment in making without permission, grounded in shared stewardship, open research, and the belief that culture is collectively produced — fragmentary, provisional, and in motion.
