LIFE BEFORE XPUB

Hoi! My name is Boyana [Бояна], but my friends call me Bobi, Bube, Bo.. Bulgarian. Child of the 80s. My work life before XPUB was centered around digital communications, branding, creative concepts, and content creation. I do my best to help sustainable businesses and civic organizations do good by expanding their message online and thus connecting with real people in a community-focused space. Excited to explore further the human-software interaction, experiment with creative coding, and publish things that play with both, digital and physical. Outside of that, I am into hiking, sailing, and cycling (thanks, Rotterdam!).

LIFE DURING XPUB

Saw a random poster on the street that said "Life is randomness" so here you'll find random stuff from my new life as one of six breadcubies.

SPECIAL ISSUES

During our first year, we will explore, work collaboratively and publish three Special Issues. Each issue will be tackling a different topic (or an issue).

SPECIAL ISSUE 19

In this Special Issue, we will start by considering the word "library" as a verb; actions that sustain the production, collection and distribution of texts. We will question indexical attitudes that lean towards universalism and search for proposals for how we "library" our particular collection.

How are texts made new? How to make a collection understandable to others? What are the access points to the collection, and where do readers and writers cross paths?

PROTOTYPING

During our first year, we are going to explore different programming languages, tools and methods that would allow us to develop initial software prototypes, and review, revise and enhance them.

SOFTWARE

Here is a list of the software mentioned throughout the course.

METHODS

The Reading, Writing, and Research Methodologies course is tailored towards (further) developing research methods within the first year of our Master. By establishing a solid foundation of research skills, it will eventually prepare us for our research in the second year.

What,How,Why

This model is also known as the Golden Circle concept, originally coined by Simon Sinek, leadership expert and author of the classic “Start With Why,”. The Golden Circle theory argues that many of today's most successful companies think beyond the practical, rational benefits of the products and services they offer.

WORKSHOPS

Here you'll find a brief description of all workshops that I will attend during the next two years.
