Common Index is a device for design inquiry⁽⁰¹⁾ and collective making⁽⁰²⁾, operating within the present. Through situated practices, we explore the space where technology and design meet to engage with the systems that define the contemporary⁽⁰³⁾.

It unfolds as a permeable ground for exchange. Here, we relearn how to nourish one another through ways of making that are neither individual nor isolated. Instead, these processes emerge as interconnected and multi-dimensional; both fragmented and unified.

The act of creating together becomes a form of exploration that takes shape as a shared dialogue. Within this process, design acts as a performative gesture, a way to question inherited methods and open space for new opportunities of relating and making.

Common Index emerges from the need to build a shared reference, an evolving catalogue of gestures, ideas, and relations that reveal along the blurred edges of a practice. It is an effort to inhabit the present together and to interrogate what is left aside. Not for impact, but for care.
