This week: THE AMANDA BROWDER SHOW!Amanda talks to Nick Lucking and Tim Ivison about www.spcmkr.com and their various projects.SPCMKR facilitates and documents space exchanges, providing a site
through which to organize a gift-economy between users. The web-based
component of the project provides an interface for locating and
contributing resources, arranging for temporarily inhabiting surplus
spaces, and documenting both the exchange and the activities that occur
while in residence. SPCMKR is a way in which to proliferate small
everyday surpluses, allowing for flexible, friendly opportunities,
rather than engaging with government or institutional power structures.
SPCMKR should be understood not as a residency to which you apply but
rather as a network in which you can contribute and benefit from the
exchange of resources.
