WikInCUBATE Through using the open source software MediaWiki, InCUBATE plans to create a wiki that will function to collect information for projects, gather historical and contemporary data about discursive art making, as well as information directed by the wiki users. This idea came about through discussions on ways to best collect information for our personal research projects [i.e. Radical Financial Handbook] as a way to let others share knowledge with us and at the same time, have this information available to everyone. While researching alternative spaces, economies, infrastructures, etc. in Chicago, throughout the United States and the rest of the world we found it difficult to find detailed information and histories. Originally, we intended to just use Wikipedia, but after testing the waters our entries were quickly removed. This is understandable considering the encyclopedic nature of the Wiki, rather than collecting evolving information and how-tos. WikinCUBATE hopes to function as a resource for all interested in discursive art, innovative politics, philosophy, the local, reinventing histories, doing it yourself, radical infrastructures, the internet as annotation of physical interactions, tactful technology and more.
	SPACING SPACING will consist of a series of mapping projects of the immediate area surrounding InCUBATE, and the adjacent Congress Theatre located in southeast corner of Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, bordering the neighborhoods of Bucktown to the east and Humboldt Park to the south. The first part of this project details an aerial map of the area. One map will outline the built environment of the area and detail the use of the physical landscape: residential, commercial, mixed-use, etc. The second aerial map will outline roads, sidewalks and alleys, all typical routes of travel to and from InCUBATE and the Congress whether by auto, bicycle, bus or elevated train. The goal of the aerial map is to visualize the space around InCUBATE and the Congress Theater through social and economic data to begin to understand the demographics of the neighborhood and pinpoint possible areas of gentrification and socioeconomic divisions. For more information about this project contact Melissa or read project blog The Culture Fields.
	InCUBATE TV InCUBATE TV is a source of documentation for our ongoing projects. As part of our aim to make InCUBATE a transparent and generative organization, we are creating an accessible public archive that traces our developments, conversations and activities. Part of this process is conducting informal discussions with artists, curators, organizers, and collectives with the hope to create open structures for the participants to engage in critical reflection as well as make connections between different artistic and social practices. InCUBATE TV is a means to provide visual space for ongoing research and information-sharing.
