    • Printing-methodes
    • Paper
    • Find visuals
  • Drafts
    • Test print on paper / rise

    • Print Dummy in the American Book Center with Betty
    • Layout different versions of the book
• Production for SI4
  • Order paper
  • Find printer / Bookbinder
  • Deal with printer
  • Visit the printer / watch proofs
• SI4 Algorithmic poster

Generated Poster

• SI4 website
• SI4 archive (cute file browser)
• Wiki
  • Scanning
  • Wiki API
• Prototyping
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Use the Command Line
  • Generate videos / use transcriptions / use (bash) scripts
  • Use git
• Writing with Steve
  • Description
  • Concept
  • Blur
• Zine-Camp
  • SI4 Stamp with the Lasercutter

Stamp

• • Descritiontext
• self
  • Installing Mediawiki on my server & changing style
  • My git (in progress)
  • The Aesthetics of scanning
  • Making Space
  • Web Scan Pi

What have I learned?

• SI4 – Book
  • Organise a book
  • Edit a book

• Design
  • Work with a editorial team / resolve conflicts / discussion / work out compromises
  • Do well-grounded research
  • Making connections to printer / bookbinder / content / tutors (communication skills)
  • Deal with small budget / find solutions
  • Bookmaking
    • End / Beginning
    • Spine / Blurb / Cover

• Archiving
  • What is a archive?
  • Why archive?
  • How archive?

• Technical skills
  • Use the Wiki API
  • Generate Algorithmic Outputs
  • Work with the command-line
  • Use raspberry
  • Use git
  • Make a book
  • Printing Techniques
  • Communication skills (Also from missunderstandings)

• Open Culture
  • Software
  • Culture
  • Licensing

• Writing with Steve

• Learn from the people I worked with

What I see now

• Different approach to using the computer
• Different view on software use – critical approach
• Use licenses
• Get new sense / understanding on software / networks / publishing
• Connecting Design and content
• More focus in the content, than look
• Transfer & apply certain concepts

Practical Things

• network: designers / institutions / locations / paper-supplier / printer

Where do I want to go?

• Interested in connection between Algorithm and Design / Content
• Generative Outputs
• Bookscanning > Layoutdetection > applying style

Wishlist

• Python
• Machine Learning
• Thinking about tools and its use (theory)
• More connection: algorithm – SI4 / printed matter / archiving
• More feedback?

What I really should do

• Improve reading / writing skills

Questions

• Focus on design still possible?
• More feedback on design / processes

More I think about

• Archive my own work?
• start documentation-site
  • http://lab.alex-roidl.de
  • http://37.139.6.124/mediawiki/
• Install git on my own raspberry
• use my raspberry as a server and connect it to the www
