The Thought Co-Op

The Thought Co-op ART will create a community network of knowledge for UCSC affiliates to communicate and share our collective academic and cultural experiences. The Thought Co-op exists with three interrelated dimensions: an archive for documentation, a physical on-campus space and a experiential thought-exchange process. The archive will feature an array of zines, media publications, student essays, reports, projects, grad dissertations, senior thesis', professors writings and creative expressions. Through archiving the collective imaginings of the community, we consciously record history through documentation. We will create both a physical co-op space to house the collections as well as an online database. The Thought Co-op will transmute the current decentralization of information and creative expressions on campus into an environment of continuity, open exchange and collaboration.
