**The paracommons and parapractices of mesh networks – interdependent communities and embodied gestures**

Beyond verbal communication and relational interdependence, Enoki Meshroom reclaims and relearns technologies as locally situated and embodied movements of resistance. With every enoki mesh device, the local parastructure – and thereby paracommons – grows and finds new mycelic parapractices to move fragile or meshi information in-between more-than-one and beyond normative networks.

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to mesh networks through the Meshtastic protocol, combining practical device exploration with a location-based LARP on the Tempelhofer Feld. The session begins with an introduction to the Meshtastic protocol, hardware, and other mesh systems. We then continue outdoors, using Meshtastic devices to navigate through an algae wetland and wasteland to our final destination. Participants will discover how mesh networks function in real-world scenarios while engaging through speculative gameplay. The event also introduces our Meshtastic device sharing and borrowing system. Participants are welcome to bring their own Meshtastic devices if available, though no prior knowledge is required. Weather dependant clothing is recommended.
