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
Reading groups
===Monday:===
- conflict
