01 Kick-off: Tasks of the Contingent Librarian
Pad: Introduction to the Special Issue with Simon
In this Special Issue, How Do We Library That?, we will start by considering the word "library" as a verb; actions that sustains the production, collection and distribution of texts. We will question indexical attitudes that lean towards universalisms and search for proposals for how we "library" our particular collection.
This first session was about listening to Simon, to each other, and to ourselves. Simon shared with us the cards from Tasks of the Contingent Librarian. We took notes collectively on the pad on what has been said by each one of us or in pars. I think we all enjoyed the process and the chance to work together because we decided to do the assignment (make cards for the bootleg library) as a team. We made 6 cards in total. Have a look at the Pad below.
02 Print Screen
Pad: Print & Publication Station & XML
It was interesting to have a look at the bootleg library and XML (experimental media lab). Simon gave us a task to select a text from the books in them and then to reflect on what's been read. I decided to work with one super cool book, Resonant bodies, voices, memories. I recorded 6 minutes of audio of me talking about the book. Then we used the files to make a transcription in vosk. It was fun to see if and how the software will (or will not) capture words, sounds, and pronunciations. My text file was super messy and nothing made sense.
- About VOSK
- Vosk - all our transcriptions after we edited them to make them legible for the reader.
- Zettlekasten - (zettle = (paper) slip / kasten = box)
- 100 unique copies of The Beatles’ White Album
- CoolGuy - cool website of a cool guy
- Baby by Justin Bieber But 800% Slower
03 Text, TBC
Pad: Dimensions of text - editorial, technical, social
We went to the Research station and we met W., the librarian/gardener.
04 Scribes Getting Personal ☞
Pad: Different ways to indicate/index/point to things
Web-to-Print We had a full-day workshop on web-to-print at the Varia library (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam). Output: make more cards and work with the space at vvvvvaria.
- Pandoc - web to print
- Assignment - Devise a proof of concept for your "HTML gardening". Next week we meet again at Varia to materialise the outcomes.
