=== Special Issue #16: Vernacular languages processing ===
[[Special Issue 16 Works by Ål Nik]]
<br>
<br>
With our Special Issue 16 and prototyping classes, we aimed at combining programming with processing natural language. Thus, we started with Python (from scratch) and played with ways to process text. Each week we had to go through reads about Python and to learn to code step by step. At the same time, we also had reading sessions with Cristina and research, reading and writing with Steve. [https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Special_Issue_16_Works_by_%C3%85l_Nik Here are the (mini)projects I worked on].
===Special Issue #17: Productive Play===
[[Special Issue 17 Works by Ål Nik]]<br>
With our second issue and the seventeenth one for XPUB, we dived into the topic of "productive play", led by artist and researcher Lídia Pereira. During the reading sessions, we have elaborated on gamification, video games, monetisation mechanics and all of those's impacts on our work & personal life. In order to reflect on the topic, we formed reading groups and made discussions in class.

===0. Research and documentation===
In order to help myself learn how to document (better) and how to do a (proper) research, I joined Harma Staal's workshop at the Research Station: ''Tagging Topics'' (20/03/2022). She offered a way to do research using tagging and thinking of topics in tags. The purpose is to narrow down the content - from chaos to focus.<br>
With this approach, the researchers are invited to connect their work and interests with other makers. (maker is now my new favourite word) As artists, we want to speak about perspectives, opinions, notions. Not truths.<br>
Research is not about reading books. It starts with your making. Then, document it, reflect on it, talk about it. Share your knowledge and make new knowledge. When you talk about things you found out, makes them relevant. <br>
Share that with image and text. <br>
===1. Discover my interests and map them===
I started with quite broad topics and put them on the board. The next steps was to sort them out and put into groups. Whilst doing that, I identified three main groups of tags that once combined, can create a single project. <br>
'''main tags to connect:'''<br>
[topics]<br>
[media/medium]<br>
[environment]<br>
'''additional ones:'''<br>
[approach]<br>
[personal experiences]<br>
[feelings]<br>
<br>
<br>
'''[Homework]''' to elaborate on 2-3 topics<br>
