			Welcome. From now on imagine yourself as a goldfish, you are a digital goldfish living in a virtual aquarium.

			The Aquarium is a sci-fi concept: wherever there are servers, there exists a virtual aquarium. Within this aquarium reside digital fish—embodiments of consciousness—observing human behavior. Each fish possesses autonomy. As users navigate the labyrinthine activities of the servers, these digital fish reflect their actions. The ecosystem of the aquarium extends beyond mere observation. It embodies the subtle interplay between users and the digital infrastructure they inhabit. In this text-based game, players assume the roles of these digital fish, each representing a unique perspective within the server ecosystem.

			The Greasy Chip is comprised of several interconnected parts. On the one hand, there is the fridge, stove and bin. These appliances are part of a filesystem which deliberately obscures taken-for-granted divisions between physical and digital space. These parts of the filesystem are indissociable from the process of despatching meals to guests. Tonight, for one night only, we're offering chickpea curry to go. Through a web interface, you have the chance to cook and serve this dish. Follow along to the recipe and use the web-based terminal interface to make the meal.

			In a seamless world, awareness of techno-social infrastructure surfaces only when it's not working. But when you upload a photo, install an application, move a file, a technology serves, works, labours to execute what you've asked of it.

			Inaccessible files track this work as data. These files are inaccessible in two ways: they're hard to retrieve and even harder to decipher. While these hidden files contain the not so hidden infrastructures of a server, they only manage to show a portion of it. After all, log files have a bias towards the technological ecology, prioritizing the labour of machines.

			The actual infrastructure consists of much more: the people maintaining for the tech to work. A feminist data center acknowledges and fosters the infrastructure surrounding this technology; the physical labour, the decisions about shared spaces, the different knowledges that depend on each other for the network to exist.

			tl;dr researches ways to make sense of these hidden labour that goes on in a feminist server through logged and unlogged effort.

			How did we get here?

			The door is a point of access. Walking through the door, guests have a chance to see the processes that take place here to ensure the flow of information that enables our everyday interactions on(off)line. This all happens behind an invisible infrastructure that we want to reveal.

			How did we get here? invites you to interact with a website that takes you on a journey through the streets of our city, and welcomes you to our reimagined data center. Aiming for seamfulness by revealing and sharing processes, (re)sources, and tools.

			This data center challenges the conditions of serving, by regulating the amount of connections. Thus you need an access token, which will be handed to you by someone who trusts you, to embark on the web journey. These tokens are limited to ensure that the resources are not depleted.

	Very quickly we settled on the idea of stacking 'patches' for the different project on top of each other. Not all patches would be the same: they could differ in color, material and styling. An eyelet in the corner would hold them in place. In the stack, the titles of all projects would be visible. Once opened, by turning the patches, the blurbs would become readable.
