The Marginal digital environment is not a promotional portfolio; it is a functional research infrastructure. All content hosted here represents Research Nodes - ever-evolving intellectual assets. By accessing the Marginal Archive, you agree to treat these outputs as raw materials for further inquiry, critique, and care-driven initiatives.

We operate on a principle of radical openness - we refuse intellectual gatekeeping. All methodologies, datasets, field notes, and theoretical frameworks shared here are open-source. This is a deliberate act of resistance against the commodification of knowledge. You are welcomed to adapt, and build upon this knowledge, provided your use avoids turning these research assets back into empty spectacle or purely commercial ventures.

The use of knowledge from Marginal’s projects carries a commitment to the networks - natural, technological, and human - that made it possible. Users must adhere to the following protocols: Techno-Nature Ecology: We advocate for a low-impact digital metabolism. If you are deploying our tools or research digitally, we encourage the use of energy-efficient practices to minimize the carbon footprint of information exchange. More-Than-Human Care: Any research involving biological entities must be treated with non-anthropocentric respect - the subject of the research is a collaborator, not a resource. Social Care: Our knowledge is built through a loop of alumni and collaborators. Users must respect the social ecology of these networks, ensuring that knowledge remains accessible to the periphery and does not become siloed within traditional hierarchies.

Crediting: Every Research Node includes specific metadata. Any use of this data must be accompanied by a full citation. Use the "Cite This" function to ensure the correct contributors are recognized. Documenting tensions: We believe that properly documented failure is a vital research output, with tremendous innovative potential. If your work builds upon a friction or a failed experiment found here, you are required to acknowledge that context.
