	'''Why a material printed publication is important?'''		'''Why a material printed publication is important?'''

	* Printing the publication ~~allows for physical interactions and movements~~ that mirror digital interactions.		Apart from everything described above, for example the possibility to edit the order of the cards, or to manipulate the spine and transform the basic structure of the object, there are other reasons why a printed publication is necessary at this point.
	* The reader becomes the one determining how to navigate through the rows of cards, ~~adding a sense~~ of ~~control~~ and ~~anticipation~~.
	* The physical act of turning pages ~~and~~ the feeling of paper ~~contribute~~ to the ~~overall~~ experience.		First, the choice() method, one of the Python functions used in the main script, selects a random element from a list. You know that it is choosing from a list of options, but what happens in the back, it’s not given to you. So, I wondered: what happens when you mirror digital interactions into a physical movement? When this concept is applied to the (note-)book in your hands, you become the one determining how you navigate through the rows of cards. You have control over the changes, appearances, and disappearances of content. While the specific content behind each card remains unknown, you can physically perceive the anticipation and surprise.
	* Reading and taking notes in physical form ~~have been~~ found ~~to have significant benefits.~~
	* The act of turning pages and the spatial layout of text ~~enhance reader engagement, understanding~~, and ~~memory~~.		Secondly, the act of turning the pages, the feeling of the paper are essential features that add a lot to the experience. Through this research, I have discovered the significance of reading and taking notes in physical form. What I found the most interesting is the impact and importance of the physical act of turning pages and the spatial layout of text: readers engage more, understand and remember more; the spatiality of a physical object facilitates a deeper interaction and comprehension of the materials. For further insights, refer to the excerpts from my thesis.
	* Excerpts from the thesis provide further insights ~~into~~ the ~~significance of physicality in reading and note-taking~~.

 * Starting from the question: '''"how can I edit and present all of this material I gathered in the last year?"''' I wanted to share all the little discoveries I made and what I learnt with others, as well as inviting a hands-on approach.
 * '''why notebooks?''' 22.09.22  I have always been interested in the materiality of objects and their touch and how to build things myself. A lot is also about subjectivity and modularity: I am fascinated by the fact that, also a publication, for example, can be created in a way that every person that uses it can react in their own way. I think it's a lot about disrupting known formats and ideas.
 *'''what i would like is''' 18.04.23  I would like to create (active) makers, not consumers. The final outcome needs to be something to be used to make, not only to receive/consume. I want the users of this work to participate in the act of making notebooks against capitalism and commodity practices. I want to expand the spaces of this medium.
 *I would like this research to be a sort of manifesto for a general context but using the notebook as a metaphor: Who are you? How does your brain work? How do your ideas come along? What are your needs from a tool that society provides in a standardised form? It is not only about making a notebook, it is how making a notebook will put you in the position of questioning who you are and the objects you use, why you use them and how something made by you for you could look and feel like.

 '''CONTENT'''
 * My use of the wikis and my hand note-taking practice was essential to produce all the material that was necessary for this publication to work. I only had to choose the content wisely to fit in the little cards, being careful to make the cards work independently not to overwhelm the users and allow them to make their personal connections; in practice, I scanned all the notebooks, selected materials that could reflect the process of making notebooks; excerpts of thesis to give some theoretical overview; pictures of the prototypes made by me and others; went through all the wikis and selected material.

 ==== The grad show ====
 For the upcoming grad show, I am planning to organise a session to try a new setup to see how it can adapt in such a place and situation. This could become useful for the future of these sessions. The idea, still to be developed, would be to have an open table for making, where I will be sitting while making notebooks. This space will be an invitation for others to join me in the making, but also as a conversation starting point. I will have the publication on the table, which I will use for the “how to make a notebook that” game included, to give a hint of how this could work.
