returning from Paris - some thoughts
Yesterday night at 10:30 - half an hour earlier than expected - our bus arrived in Rotterdam. It felt liek a short ride, just like the whole trip did. I am walking home at night with a feeling of exciting disorientation and lingering overwhelm. I've never before attended a meetup of this kind - instaed of having set presentations, PPP emphasized space for impromtu conversations, discussions and prototypes. Loose structures are usually harder for me to navigate, and so was this, but there was also something new. Allowing myself to shift back and forth between attentive observer and active speaker loosened the pressure to constantly perform and connect.
There were two discussions that still echo in my thoughts: A conversation with Julie Blanc, who gave some insights into her work on and with the CSS Workingroups and the paged.js project. I found particularly interesting to read her proposal on CSS notes and connected to that, how lengthy these processes are - between a meeting, proposal, answer and draft it can take years and patience and new collaborations and other things to happen in between...
The other conversation wa split in two parts and started earlier on, at another ppp event. 'Permapublishing' was waht we started talking about but soon recognized that even this distinction (arriving from permacomputing) might need more dissection into smaller entities. Permaarchiving, Printing itself (paper, ink, printer hardware), software... . I felt there was an underlying question of of srtiving for autonomy vs dependency. and I dont think these are necessarily exlusive although this urge seems contradictory at first. In a 2025 leaving/ becoming post Doriane 'leaving: codependence inducing precarity, becoming: interdenpence inducing resilience'. I understand Perma... to be funamentally about being in relation, and that is wher its power lies, but nevertheless autonomy has its own place in there. Autonomy from whom? Big tech companies, capitalist data surveilance, short cycles of attention, of device and software usage - autonomy from institutions?
Perma... also left we wondering about Permatext. Something I imagine to inahbit computing as much as publishing and could give some hints on textual relations, distinct materialities as much as its ecological implications.
Some last thought on the events organization: Personally everyone was very welcoming and I enjoyed that people seemed to have different practices and backgrounds. But there was a language issue. Although the hosts proclaimed there were making this more open for their 'english friends' it often did not feel like this with translation being secondary, very spontaneous and not well informed.
