Description
Consent? is a research project into the role and meaning of consent in collaborative publishing. It aims to create tool/s for collaborative document curation which highlight the dilemmas of working together consensually: what does agreement mean, how is it produced and encoded, and how could a process of reaching consent be reflected in the printed outcome?
In Trimester 5 the project was developed conceptually through face to face research with feminist activists, into radical meanings and practices of consent. This research was then applied in the design of a workshop, which was tested out at the Piet Zwart Institute. The workshop produced a collective poster design by using an array of different voting interfaces, demonstrating the way that differences in how a consent-giving interfaces are designed impact significantly upon the type of consent (and thus, printed outcome) which is produced.
This project runs parallel to the thesis, in which I apply feminist theories of consent to collaborative graphic design. I argue that the feminist emphasis on a tolerance for indecision and uncertainty could be realized in design through the production of a range of provisional possibilities. In the practical project, the development of a range of consent-giving interfaces and repeated research/workshop sessions in which they are used, will attempt to realize an example of this approach.
The project will be completed in Trimester 6 through collaborative prototyping of a range of consent-giving interfaces (largely at Interactivos, Madrid), along with the fine-tuning of one or more workshops to be run during the graduation show in a publishing lab setting.
Media
Photos
- At least 2, Max 5.
- native resolution only (that is the highest resolution you have for your photo and whatever resolution if you make screencaps)
- PNG format
Video
optional unless the final outcome of the project, or one of its main components, is a video/film/animation.
- allowed containers/codecs combos:
- WebM (preferred):
- Video codec: VP8 (3-5 Mbps data rate)
- Audio codec: Vorbis (-q 6)
- Ogg:
- Video codec: Theora (3-5 Mbps data rate)
- Audio codec: Vorbis (-q 6)
- MP4:
- Video Codec: H.264 (3-5 Mbps data rate)
- Audio Codec: AAC (160kbps or 384kbps if 5.1) or MP3 (-V0 or -b 320)
- WebM (preferred):
- resolution: 720p if source >= 720p, native resolution otherwise, progressive.
- FPS: 24, 25, 30.
- Sample rate:
- 44.1kHz if source is 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz
- 48 kHz if source is 48kHz or 96kHz
- 44.1 kHz for everything else.
Audio
optional unless the final outcome of the project, or one of its main components, is a sound piece/track.
- allowed containers/codecs combos:
- Ogg: Vorbis (-q 6) preferred
- MPEG: MP3 (-V0 or -b 320)
- FLAC (-8)
- Sample rate:
- 44.1kHz if source is 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz
- 48 kHz if source is 48kHz or 96kHz
- 44.1 kHz for everything else.
- Do not transcode! For instance, if the sound generated is directly an MP3, do not re-encode it with the settings above or with a different codec. Only encode original uncompressed or lossless compressed sources.
Essay
Abstract and bibs/ref + link to PDF (PDF must be uploaded to wiki).
Use Steve's recommendations for abstract length and bibliographic style.
Additional Information
non optional
- itemised budget estimate
optional
- Project URL (if lives on an external site)
- extra wiki links (in case you have relevant notes/journals/documentation in your User: page, this is useful particularly if you have been asked to articulate further or refine your project during your assessment)
