Timeline

09 2024

• Presenting 'On Contamination - infectious interfaces' (website) at Naive Yearly in Ljubiljana
• making radio shows: (which feels confusing and very very new to me)
  • SI25 Broadcast 1: Soundmapping
  • SI25 Broadcast 2: Soundmapping Rotterdam

10 2024

• the idea of websites as sound interfaces resonates with me and I am starting a lot of attempts but never finish them
  • internet archive
  • pianola 1 pianola 2
  • web audio api mixer
  • User:Kim/Special Issue 1/Thoughts on Soundboard
• making radio shows: (becomes a bit more familiar and with the very 'live' protocols we performed felt more organic)
  • SI25 Broadcast 4: Protocols to Freestyle
• Website for and in an exhibition 'In between echoes' in Hamburg in-between-echoes.xyz, which maps visitors in the exhibition space and displays them as dot on the website together with a ping sound. The website is also presented in the exhibition space itself creating a feedback loop between the two spaces in which they constantly echo the other.

• User:Kiara and I prepare an HTML and CSS intro for XPUB 1 HTML/CSS Memo
• 'Sounds of Making' Special Issue 25 Public Moment
  • I am part of the PR group, working mostly on visual communication + coding support for event website collaboration here pushed me to my own limits in many ways: unreliability and missing communication makes everything hard to deal with, how do we collaborate with different skill levels (code: I want to give the opportunity to others to learn but I want to still practice it too. sometimes it might be smarter to factor in capacities, time, energy)
  • I present Tracing Networks Backwards
• Ben invites me to present at the Homemade Computer Club at Varia. He asks me about memory, I respond with an inquiry about time. He starts the session with presenting his research about time synchronization and I continue with speaking about time interfaces and the environment as crucial factor in timekeeping. Interfacing Time. We Round up with a worksession of crafting our (imaginary) clocks.
• I enjoy the detour we take into CSS print and would like to make it a more regular part of my practice

12 2024

• Radio show:
  • SI25 Broadcast 9: Event ReMix'd where I enjoy reading the text to speech receipt prints from the public event in a poetic form
• Coding (support) for the post production group to develop an Archival website based on the wiki https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/Special-Issue-25/view.html while i am fascinated with the way we utilize the wiki api for this cause, its also a very confusing and exhausting code. Also the fact that it is still not finished... I initiated 2 days this year where Kiara, Chrissy, Tessa and I attempted to but its going slow and motivation is low, I could have done so alone or with one more person much earlier but thats not the point but then what is the point in an unfinished project?
• one week Coding intro Workshop at HBK Braunschweig with Karen My website is a... which was a super interesting and valuable experience but also disillusioning, a lot of chat gpt, not much interest in understanding code/ process/ exploration, very unresponsive group, doing it with Karen was essential - we work super well together

01 2025

I had covid, I had to move to a new apartment

02 2025

• giving a presentation for scholarship application
• Browser extension programming (with Doriane and Joseph) sparks a lot of experimentation and curiosity

4. html head

• Working on the coding/ interface part of the CSS Timeline
  • code draft
  • pdf draft
• An interview with Miriam Suzanne new for me to see that you can just contact someone and they agree, and are happy, to join a conversation! I was positively surprised by the interest Miriam showed in what we did too and happy I overcame being shy, actively participated and asked a few questions

04 2025

• 'On contamination' (presentation I held in Ljubiljana last year) will be published with Are.na Editorial
