2. mike’s favorite things

[Verse 1]
Papers on papers and titles on doggies
Miss managed materials and nails in a hammer
Brown cardboard packages filled up with winks
These are a few of my favorite things

[Verse 2]
Soft surfaced stools and lonely socks with holes
Networks and handworks and objects with souls
To learn something new and the feeling that brings
These are a few of my favorite things

[Verse 3]
Fruits of devotions growing in slow motions
Entities cobblestoned through poetic notions
Withering wallflower waste into castings
These are a few of my favorite things

[Verse 4]
Hot damping coffee, satiated documents
Outdoors and open doors and ideas with referents
Colourful drawing ascending from scribblings
These are a few of my favorite things

3. rara (enenquiry)

rara (enenquiry) is an association of entities that dream and work together. Think of (actual) persons, organizational units, organisms, and collections of objects that exist to a greater or lesser extent and develop in relation to one another in a diagrammatic fashion. The daily operations of rara consist of processing words, images, paper, and organic waste. Recurring methods for this are inversion, piling, omitting, associative and dialectical thinking, amateurism, and collaboration. Specifically, these processes give rise to the realization of subjects, objects, assemblages, A4s, photos, publications, actions, installations, and texts.

rara (enenquiry) was conceived in 2025 by Jakob Van den Broucke (°1993, Ostend) and functions as a working method, joker and umbrella moniker.
