View source for Week Six: Diffractive reading methods

On the occasion of the sixth release of [[Implicancies#Radio_Implicancies|Radio Implicancies]], we began to compile methods for diffractive reading. These method can be submitted via a [https://issue.xpub.nl/18%20form form] in order to be documented on this page.<br>

=== Overlaid Impressions ===
''Create literal diffraction through the physicality of two printed texts''
<br>
'''Nature of the input'''

Text
<br>
''' Process Log'''
<br>
# Pick two texts that are visually similar or visually interesting from your point of view.
# Prepare two one-page-pdf to print on transparent paper (provided); size A4.

# If you want to decide the precise position of the overlapping of the two texts, open them in Photoshop and create two layers; change opacity; move them as you want; you need to horizontally flip JUST ONE of the two texts; then export them as separate files.
# Send the two files to the printer.
# Put the flipped print on the top of the non-flipped one; you can stick them together, put them on a window to see through; colour parts that you find interesting; react to your overlapped text: what can you see?

=== Diffractive Mashup ===
''A method that uses the mashup() function to create random mashed up versions of two texts. ''
<br>
'''Nature of the input'''
<br>
Text
<br>
''' Process Log'''
<br>
# Pick two texts that talk about similar topics, that have words in common and could interact in a meaningful way. Choose small chunks of text to work on and with the same or a similar length of lines.
# Go to https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/theimpossibleprocess/themashupfunction and insert the texts in the boxes, paying attention to start a new paragraph per line [the function needs to recognise the text line by line and not the whole text all together]
# Click the "start mashup" function: at this point, the function will find the common words and use them as the fixed text for the new piece of text. Then, it will put the results together into a new piece, randomly choosing the differences in the two texts.
# The result will show a different piece of writing made out of the two texts mashed up. Reload the page to create a new version. You can find the results saved in the Archive automatically.

=== Sonic Weaving Pt. 1: Clips ===
''Diffractive listening and transcribing exercise with two video/audio clips. ''
<br>
'''Nature of the input'''
<br>
Audio/video
<br>
''' Process Log'''
<br>
# Pick two video or audio clips.
# Open a text editor and get ready to transcribe.
# Play both clips from the beginning at the same time.
# Pay close attention to what you hear and type out the words/phrases you pick up on.
# Continue this listening-typing session until one of the clip ends.
# Use this text as a starting point to create another output (for example: sound or image translations of the text, a score for a performance, etc.)

Text
<br>
''' Process Log'''
<br>
# In a group of 3, distribute the following roles: reader (2), listener+transcriber (1).
# Each reader picks one text to read out loud to the listener+transcriber.
# The listener+transcriber types out what they hear/the words or phrases that filter through
# Continue until one of the readers stop reading.
# Use this text as a starting point to create another output (for example: sound or image translations of the text, a score for a performance, etc.)

=== Diffracted Narrations ===
''This simple recipe for diffractive perception of information provided by two sources can be used on various types of pieces. However, one of the inputs should be a video and the other one - a written text. We create a new piece by muting the original narration of the video and adding a completely different one. This method allows us to experiment on conceptual level: what types of stories or thoughts we would like to play with? By experiencing the one source through the other, creative and unexpected readings can emerge. ''

'''Nature of the input'''
<br>
Video and written text
<br>
''' Process Log'''
<br>
# 1. Pick two pieces:
-one video (ideally without subtitles and texts on it)
-a written text (article, poem, short story etc.)
# 2. Video: if the video has audio, mute it
# 3. Text:
-choose part of the written text that you would like to add as a new voice over of the video
# 4. Perform the new piece by playing the video and narrating it live yourself
# 5. Record the performance with video & audio
