CHT/TOTALISM.ORG HACKBASE is an infrastructure research project in Canary Islands (Spain) & hyperspace. Since 2011, ad-hoc crews use common-owned equipment and coordinate by consensus-established protocols, to curate, develop, document & practice the transitional tactics, technologies, theory, and arts, towards ending capitalism. Started as a shared house; since 2014 organizing experimental off-grid desert camps, *open to all*. →→→ In 2016 the project acquired a large transporter, and built it into a mobile living unit / media lab / cinema / bio-lab / studio capable platform.As of 2021, the project is an expanse of thousands of interlinked pieces of living written, intermedia & sensor documentation, software specs & code, and infrastructure equipment, held together as a multi-faceted hypermedia & resource compendium, and affiliated with a growing number of fellow travellers.
→→→ The base is a primer of a new institutional type, prototyping & seeking to virally propagate its logic of networking and labouring. Bases principally don't see themselves as the destination, but as sustainable experimental apparatuses towards that effect. Bases however must challenge all comfortable status-quo collectivities, and demonstrate increasing readiness for real-world transition.
→→→Starting October until end of December 2021, the CHT/Totalism.org inhabits Kunsthal Gent's fall period of the "Permanently Practising" development residency, with a participation-focused public programme. → https://kunsthal.totalism.org
