those.tools is a software development and design studio for research, editorial and publishing practices in the arts and social sciences. We develop free and open source tools for writing, archiving, mapping, designing and publishing research. 

We activate and adapt each tool to the context of every project we collaborate on. Wether for self-initiated projects or commissioned work, our aim is to explore new ways of doing things, recognizing the epistemological function of tools with a strong focus on collective creative processes.

These processes can produce a variety of objects: books, web platforms, sound installations… They may also, we hope, produce new ideas, new perspectives, new relations.

Open to collaborations, those.tools welcomes fellow designers, developpers, artists with an interest in these topics.

When we started working on sensingnearby.org with Joachim, we thought about the blog format, that is, a space where the the articles can be stacked on top of each other, forming a vertical timeline. Here, we wanted to make a timeline that curls up on itself, forming a spiral that fosters new connections between the articles. sensingnearby.org is based on this idea: the vertical flow, with its scrollbar, is translated to the space of a spiral made of various posts.
