Common Goods is a digital archive that originated from the “HfK Bootleg Library” seminar. The archive is a collective space—by students, for students collecting final theses, projects, experiments, and resources to make them accessible and visible. The goal was to create a space for inspiration, overview, and exchange. A place to discover how diverse artistic and creative work at HfK can be – and what goes on behind the closed doors.

Using a mini Wi-Fi chip, the students have created a digital library that is both abstract and physically anchored at Speicher XI. The Library Portal makes the collection accessible locally and connects digital content with a real place.

Thank you to the students for the dedication and effort creating this amazing and important work <3
