Nanni Moretti was slapping people in the face to remark the importance of words and their usage. In the movie _Palombella Rossa_, the main character suffered from memory loss after a car accident, and every dialogue was a precious handhold to find back his lost identity.

To re-enchant code then means not only to _find & replace_ terms throughout the documentation, but to re-trace genealogies, to intercept and re-orient narrations, and offer a redemption arc to those projects that were abandoned. To re-enchant code means to add new systems of meanings around it.

A good example is the work of documentation around the Uxn ecosystem, a personal computing stack initiated by the 100 Rabbits collective. To meet their needs for a portable and lightweight infrastructure and reduce the energy consumption of their digital tools (they live on a wind & solar powered sailboat), while keep continuing developing games and software ...
