Main Page
This wiki is hosted within servers built upon [Gadigal country], as is Critical Path.
Critical Path respectfully acknowledges the Gadigal as the traditional custodians of the land where the organisation is based and pays respect to all First Nations Australians and their Elders.
We also acknowledge that every contributor to the wiki across Pacific-Asia is living in the aftermath of colonial instigated inequities that persist to this day.
Welcome to OpenTab !
What is Open Tab?
The Open Tab project is a sharing of methodology and insights from artists working at the nexus of choreography and digital - in the form of a wiki.
"A wiki is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience directly using a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project and could be either open to the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
Initially, invited artists from across the Pacific and Asia region will meet in the Drill Hall (IRL and remotely) to establish OpenTab.wiki before it becomes publicly editable in late 2021.
This week-long wiki working bee will stress test a geographically distributed yet co-temporal residency model. We will be dancing and typing and talking, being physically digital, and on sunday the 18th from 14:00 - 17:00 we invite you to our open studio session supported by the DJing of Riana Head-Toussaint while we continue to populate http://OpenTab.wiki

Disambiguation
What Open Tab might be
A party, distributed across locations, asynchronous, a brains trust, an archive, a studio prompt, a collection and a provocation for discussions, for insights, for epiphanies. A web of connections to peers, inspirations, canon and more! Check out this reading list as examples.
What Open Tab is not
- An encyclopaedia (especially not a Wikipedia)
- A dictionary (or wiktionary 😉 )
- An artist directory
- A debate or dispute to get to one clear truth of fact.
Future
The WIKI is not the work.
The WIKI will not last in perpetuity.
We are populating a database as (just one of the many ways) to interrogate working collectively/collaboratively but distributed.
Licencing
This wiki and any subsequent media is published under the Decolonial Media License 0.1.
