Recurring Images Log #1: reflection

1. I do not really care for squares
2. Maybe it is not meant to be shown --> Then try to write the images
3. Observe how these images recur and how I use and combine these images
4. Making postcards is the perfect surface to hold these images
5. http://www.jokerobaard.nl/pdf/Unconditional-Love.pdf (from Joke Robaard) => Really agree with this statement
6. The nicest thing was that I revisited half of the pictures while preparing for the M&M session
7. Surprisingly not many consider taking pictures as part of their practice => interview friends who do take a lot of pictures (홍떰, 가영언니, 주영 ...)
8. Maybe I want to organize these images
9. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH LOOPING IMAGE in Dear Science

Group Tutorial: server 101

<form> tag log #1

The HTML form tag is required when you want to collect information that visitors provide. For example, you may want to collect specific data from visitors, such as name, email address, and password.
(from this website)

Collect. Provide. 모두 목적어 대상을 필요로 해. 무언가를 수집하고, 무엇가를 제공하고. 그 무엇이 무엇인가?

A form is essentially a container for inputs. 
 

*The action attribute points to the back-end of our web page, which handles the form submission
*The method attribute is used to upload the data. The most commonly used attributes are the GET and POST methods

Individual session with Michael

some references and highlights:

• form art by Alexei Shulgin

• you learn through the system, you shape the system but also system shape you

Workshop: with BB and Clara

S/S: Turing wheel with grgr

It's quite hard. Totally new muscle!!!! It might take some time to be comfortable with it. Letting things go but at the same time, putting a little bit of force. Balancing between those: be steady and supportive - push and form<gr> Just ordered an underglaze pencil!

CMS() Project: with Nami, documentation

Here are some rules that we agreed on:

1. approach it as comic strips, all the main images are illustrations, clumsy drawing
2. humble font, humble aesthetic, light web
3. make different stickers and have fun with different CSS, HTML tags(ex. when you hover over pongie's mouth, the sound of pongie explaining the concept of buchimgae publication, starts to play)
4. later, use page.js to make a comic strip
5. since it's workshop series, every chapter starts with clear instructions on the workshop activities
6. the focus of the documentation is on sharing the process not the results. So approach it as a log/diary.

Recurring Images Log #2: phonecall with Hyein a.k.a. thumb

updated the pad: https://pad.xpub.nl/p/loop-images-how-we-know

keywords: food pictures - texture - thoughts and intentions that triggered to take pictures - text with an intention to capture floating thoughts - saving the same picture, like if your fridge is super disorganized you ended up buying the same vegetables that you already have - Instagram - how Instagram shaped our way of using the camera - different accounts archiving specific stuff (ex. energy drinks on the street, one glove on the street, chewing gums on the street etc)

Lunch with grgr, and work on Crunchy Research

With grgr, we cooked chicken with rice, ginger, garlic and two small yet very spicy chilly peppers in a pressure cooker. IT WAS AMAZING. Very comforting, perfect for cold weather like these days. Since the weather was super fresh and sunny, after this VERY satisfying lunch, we went for a walk. Encountered very strange yet alarming ppl (hint: museum, unintentional, art, dressed up). Had two gluten-free cakes(?). Two espressos. Brainstormed. Very nice conversations.

notes of discussion on the future of crunchy project
