common practice/language (3 and 24 June 2010) and common practice/code (9 and 30 September 2010) are reading groups that use a wiki and Skype to perform a Calvino-style manipulation of texts. Through the unpredictable cobbling together of texts, poetry, people, code, language, wiki, chat, conversations etc., participants co-produce untagged and free style body/ies of knowledge. The practice embodies the curiosity to experience ways in which human and machine skills and abilities perform together, and refers to the fact that this is done in common - together with others.

Initiated by Magda Tyżlik-Carver in collaboration with Sönke Hallmann, common practice is a series of curated events hosted by the Reading Room at Arnolfini, and online by Department of Reading.
