Communities of all kinds produce a lot of images and texts, documents that inform, motivate, inspire. These documents become policy, budgets, and community culture.
As communities change, the connections and evolutions within their body of work become less visible. Gaps widen between what's needed and what's being done. Inertia can set in.
Curious is a community studio in Rockport, Massachusetts. We offer a place and process where people learn to see, understand and share the connections and gaps in their community's body of knowledge.
Studio Sessions
The studio is four sessions. Bring a collection of items — documents, images, or both. We'll surface a question or two to focus on.
A teacher might bring syllabi and assessments. A journalist, stories and notes. A photographer, a month of conservation work. The material is yours — Habitat forms a topology from your curation of it: the highs and lows of what connects and what doesn't.
It's the kind of review you might do already. Habitat lets you see the big picture and tinker with the details as an ongoing, social practice.

We build Habitat — software that reads media and shows what’s visible, implied, and unsaid.
Our Ethos: The equitable and continuous distribution of knowledge is itself an expressive practice, not just an operational one... It materializes us.
