1. All Together Now: Collective Knowledge, Collective. Narratives, and Architectures of Participation

   This essay is an exploration of the history and methodologies of collective narrative projects, and their relationship to collective knowledge projects and methodologies. By examining different forms of conscious, contributory, and unwitting participation, the essay attempts to develop a richer understanding of successful large-scale collaborative projects. The essay then examines large-scale architectures of participation in Wikipedia and Flickr to extrapolate from those observations potential methodologies for the creation of collective narratives.

2. A Box, Darkly: Obfuscation, Weird Languages, and Code Aesthetics

   The standard idea of code aesthetics, when such an idea manifests itself at all, allows for programmers to have elegance and clarity as their standards. This paper explores programming practices in which other values are at work, showing that the aesthetics of code must be enlarged to accommodate them. The two practices considered are obfuscated programming and the creation of “weird languages” for coding. Connections between these two practices, and between these and other mechanical and literary aesthetic traditions, are discussed.
