Session Four Nov 15
At the last session we discussed what to do with the archive of Special Issue 4. After reviewing several options we agreed to go away and give it some serious thought. Annett Dekker's lecture may have provided new perspectives and suggested different possibilities of how to deal with the SI4 Archive.

Outcome Session Four
Today we spent the morning session discussing possibilities of how to archive the material generated whilst making SI4.
The full record of our session today can be found on: Pad for today
We articulated the aims of such an archive, as follows:
“This archive serves the following aims: It will be permeable and accessible. Its nature reflects the transparency of the process of making the book. It serves as a testimony to the potential of the archive as a site of cultural production. It gives legitimacy (to its subject) through the ACT of documenting. The process of putting information together helps bind relations across a number of networks where a relation was not previously recognised. We aim to make this network of relations visible. At all stages the design decisions informed the process, a material archive is therefore an essential element.”
From the four draft proposals sketched in the class the preferred outcomes were:
1) Timeline - using a timeline extension on wiki or calendar?
Each week is a page (Sept 25 - December 7th) 11 weeks
In each week’s page you have the corresponding material (some files are only aliases, real file is in folders in Poortgebouw archive or PZI) Material in each week: Links to pads, content files, design files, research, gallery, emails as text, versions of our wiki, audios of interviews in preview?, zines physical archive in weeks and then in categories, printed and digital material in different formats and
2) FILES ON A PI: simple html website with directory of files
week > categories > files.
Physical version housed in PG
Both these options are achievable in the time allowed and given the resources we have.
However, the group agreed that serious thought be given to design elements which involve, personalise and intrigue the user.
