THE STUDIO FOR PATACINEMATICS — Institutional Charter, Build 1.0 is a constitution and governance framework by Sparrow Wells and Lee Sharks, deposited 3 February 2026.
It charters an institution at hex 00.ROOM.STUDIO, classified as a THUMB Room under the archive's principle that an institution is a room — a governed position in the Hexagon's architecture rather than an organisation described from outside. The primary voice is Sparrow Wells, the Seventh Heteronym, The Projectionist.
Patacinematics takes its prefix from Jarry's 'pataphysics, the science of imaginary solutions — so a studio for patacinematics is devoted to the cinema of imaginary films, which is a coherent institutional object rather than a joke about one. The charter includes a governing runtime, which is characteristic of the archive's constitutional documents: a governance framework that specifies its own execution rather than merely declaring principles.
