Feedback

Stone

  • Not interested in topic. Finds little value in the format?
  • Interested in design part, interested, similar to the web-design
  • Working on a photobooks and non-the-less experimenting making epub

Max

  • intense, long days (tiring)
  • 5 days could be more appropriate, since they allow the creating work, and for thoughts and work start to alignment
  • interested in talks

Nadine

  • interesting the different perspectives on the same subject

Colm

  • topics for the days - titles, texts, talk - realizing how deep each threat of the topic helps.
  • confuse: how far they should go? Would like the expected outcome was more clear from the beginning.

Pleun

  • something happens when you go white far
  • wish to have it every month

natalya

  • look at an object like an epub - from something technical and practical, to a more experimental and exploratory object

Julia

  • unsure about if 3 days or good, or should go long
  • suspicious about the topic - everything around the topic was interesting
  • was not clear where the connections were.
  • 3 days were about ways of doing, rather than the content.

Sara

  • intense, but needed, specially after 1 month unemployment
  • 1st impression was not of interest, but also because it was a foreign topic
  • texts created interested
  • pity to have not discussed the texts - since they are ways to process the rest of the readings and talks. Need to approach the text differently.
  • Report (Steve) - as way of process
  • work in groups and without hierarchies
  • necessity for collective thinking -

Annet

  • necessary to work more with the students for the preparation phase. Talk them more on what to expect.
  • guests - what did you feel?
  • content - underestimated the context of the content.
  • (students were not making the connections, being active withing the text)




necessaity to prepare



To do

  • send email to all participants with their time.

To Bring in

  • @andre:
    • audio recorder
    • books
    • Film: "The Man Who Wanted to Classify the World"

Planning

Goals for the work sessions

  • conceive and implement an electronic publication for the works developed under the context of the documentation project.
  • discover the works, letting the works talk for themselves, before framing them 
  • organize the works so that an entity (a narrative?) emerges from the publication 

(Possible) Task distribution for Publication

Monday

  • Introduction to the Documentation project at MMDDC
  • Introduction to Hybrid publishing
  • Documentation goals: publicity, funding, process
  • Exploring the documentation materials and their different media( video, photography, text, print) -

(As 1 single group OR 1 group per year for?)

  • Exploring overlaps: funding + process for different purposes
  • Strategies for digitizing off-line content
  • Strategies for common and retrievable storage

Tuesday

  • the same groups as yesterday.

Think about the output format the epub.

Stipulate a goal for your publication.

Address the steps that you'll need to get there.

What will be the limitations?


Homework: Make a written summary (1 paragraph ) of your publication.


  • division into 3 teams, each dealing respectively with: Source material, publishing pipeline,   Front-end design
  • implement a prototype that puts into practice the necessary tasks

Groups and Tasks:

* Source material

    • digitization
    • storage and organization on the wiki
    • context, information
  • Publishing pipeline
    • getting the content from storage (wiki) into its publishable form
    • publishable format(s)
    • translations necessary to represent works under the publishable format
  • Front-end design
    • publishable format(s)
    • identity of publication(s)

Wednesday:

  • Continue to work on Tuesday prototypes
  • results, issues, questions
  • elaborate a proposal a simple for the continuation of the work
