<span class="code">↪ This website is the home of Performing Patents Otherwise. It is an archive, a website and an experimental electronic book that binds search, archive and writing in one publication. The landing page navigates the publication according to the conventions of a search engine, foregrounding search. The table of contents offers a way of navigating that foregrounds texts, which is more in line with the conventions of book making. The table of contents reveals a logic of zooming in, from the general search to more specific configurations of the relationships between search, content, ordering and sense-making.</span>

<span class="code">↪ Archival conversations enter into conversation with the materiality of the patents bringing aspects of the archive to the fore that computational search cannot capture.</span>
