==Welcome & Purpose of the Wiki==

Welcome to the Unit 404 wiki, an integral part of our "not found" web art project. This platform serves as an open and collaborative space for a broad range of cultural workers, from artists and writers to scientists and musicians. Our goal is to create a dynamic network where you can freely share and document your processes, tendencies, and histories.

Unlike traditional wikis or encyclopedias that adhere to strict formatting and a singular pursuit of "truth," this space is a workshop, an archive, and a potential graveyard for ideas. We encourage you to use the pages as a canvas for your creative and critical thinking, no matter how abstract. You have complete freedom to structure the layout of your pages, allowing you to build an online presence that truly reflects your work. You might use it as a deeper layer of your own website, a catalogue for your projects, or even a digital sketchbook for your most speculative ideas.

This wiki isn't about rigid rules; it's about fostering new connections and conversations. We invite you to contribute, explore, and help us develop a cloud of factual, conceptual, and spatial networks. We're excited to see what you'll create and how you will connect with your peers and the public within this unique environment.
