Tiny Mining

Community

The Tiny Mining community was founded in November 2019, during an expert meeting in Brussels. This open community consists of a diverse group of chemists, geologists, artists and alternative medicine practitioners. In November 2020, a small group of community users took part in the first remote sweatshop dedicated to the exploration of experimental protocols for improving extractive yields and facilitating testing procedures for the wider community.. We also explored the construction of alternative belief systems, facilitating the adoption of Tiny Mining as a widespread cultural practice. A metal or element was assigned to each sweatshop participant for reflection and extraction. In order of elements the participants were: Theun Karelse, v2_labs, Dennis de Bel, Kat Austen, Martin Howse, Aniara Rodado and Alfonso Borragan. The results of the first remote sweatshop are documented here.

The community is open and registration can be completed at http://tinymining.me

A set of protocols for the remote sweatshop is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Djv1cafskuv3wxYsx84bB2HkSKNqgI9H/view?usp=sharing
