Iban oscuro por entre las sombras [They roam darkly amidst the shadows] is a nocturnal research, a twilight or a guerrilla of insurrection. A series of days of coexistence with lunar knowledge, which is opposed to daytime and rational knowledge -in the same sense that the Gothic tradition is a response to the desire for an encyclopedic understanding of the world that characterized the old Enlightenment-, to then experiment with the Wiki as a curatorial tool from a perspective close to theory-fiction.

But although the Wiki is a format not very far from the encyclopedic understanding of the world we were talking about, here we propose to queerize its structures and contents, to estrange them, and to play with its hyperlink logics. The project wants to pervert the system of organization of contents, as well as the way they are narrated, but it is also an invitation to ask ourselves why hyperlinks are always rooted in the word, and never in the spaces between words or even in the shadows of these.
