HuMBase
Taking Part: CCFA
Laboratory of the permanently impermanent
On drawing open circles
I designed.
Thirsty Thursday
As if I had been there
When the seed considered planting itself
A HuMBook about
“HuMBase”

HuMming.de
Archive and website, since 2018
The website HuMming is an interactive toolbox with collected theoretical quotations, alongside questions, theses and texts formulated by us. It is designed to enable the development of one or many perspectives on a certain topic and follows the logic of an ever-evolving manifesto. Each time a user visits the website, its contents, divided into pop-up windows, are opened in random order and can then be sorted into clusters or closed as desired. Like working on a blackboard, it is possible to zoom in and out. If the page is reloaded, the structure that was worked out disappears and the process has to be started again from scratch.
