Under the name of ''.py.rate.chnic sessions'', the second-year students from the Experimental Publishing Master program invite you to participate in a series of hands-on workshops, related to the topics of their graduation projects. Each workshop offers the participants an opportunity to engage with the students' research by partaking in their processes, experiments, and discussions.

''.py.rate.chnic'' are a series of 3 collective work-sessions organized by the XPUB second-year's students and attended by other students.  


==Timeline==


Each sessions is conducted by two second-years' who organize the session around a topic and format related to their graduation projects and will function as an opportunity to develop, experiment, test and discuss their processes collectively.
We will meet each other on the following days:

==.py.rate.chnic planning document==
{{ ONLINE }}
Each session you will need a Workshop description, which includes:
* title:
* who is leading the:
* format: workshop? test session? book sprint?
* short description:
** what will happen?
** why (relevance)?
** outcome: what will be goal of the session
* maximum amount of participants:
* prerequisites: reading list, software installs, material to bring


'''Deadline for Workshop description''':
.py.rate.''what''?
* first draft: 2019.11.04
* final document: 2020.01.06
* create announcement poster


Do not overload the participants with prerequisites. The idea of these planning documents, is that the sessions can start quickly and be productive and fun, rather than a tedious 2hours' install session.
10:00 - 12:00 warming up


==Format==
12:00 - 13:00 break
'''The format of sessions''' can range from a
* hackthon: where you ask the participants to explore a subject, through the development of a prototypes, from  give a starting point.
* workshop: where you bring in a certain technology/prototype/... and ask others to develop or explore it. More focused on a approach and see what that approach can lead to
* (book) sprints: where the group writes collaboratively a manual / research text / book / and produces a website/pdf/...
* test session: where a given procedure/methods is tested on the participants and at the end feedback is given
* ...others or combinations of these

14:00 - 16:00 Py.rate.chnic announcement (collective poster making)


In this workshop, we will look into alternative tools for communicating online, by experimenting with a locally installed chat-software. Through this process, we will talk about the issue and appeal of popular chat applications.
Hotline location: https://hotline.xpub.nl/py.rate.chnic


We don't claim that there is an ideal instant-messaging tool to serve everyone's interest. Rather, we aim to discuss how distinct tools can fit different contexts and circumstances. What situations demand the use of alternative communication tools, and why is it useful to try them?

10:00 - 13:00 Preparations & Feedback


We will use a home-made, DIY book scanner, and open-source software to scan, process, and add digital features to printed texts brought by the participants to the workshop. Ultimately, we will include them in the &quot;bootleg library&quot;, a shadow library accessible over a local network.
Hotline location: https://hotline.xpub.nl/py.rate.chnic


Shadow libraries operate outside of legal copyright frameworks, in response to decreased open access to knowledge. This workshop aims to extend our research on libraries, their sociability, and methods by which we can add provenance to texts included in public or private, legal or extra-legal collections.

Terms of service are the legal documents presenting the agreement between a service provider and a person who wants to use that service. These agreements tend to be strategically obfuscated by the platforms with a circuitous manner, written in highly specified legal terms, and lacking the possibilities for lay persons to understand them.
Hotline location: https://hotline.xpub.nl/py.rate.chnic


In &quot;Have you read your contract?&quot; we will focus on dissecting these legal documents, by taking Google's Terms of Services as your working document, which we will collectively, read, discuss, and edit, in order to understand the affect of language obfuscation and how could it be replaced by a more explicit vocabulary modes of address.

Cartography and data visualisation normally are intended as objective ways to depict spaces and information, but what happen when subjects, or communities, decide to map their own data?

Superpower Maps is a workshop where the participants will explore alternative ways to represent data enhancing self-knowledge through the process of map-making.
Hotline: https://hotline.xpub.nl/py.rate.chnic


We will collect personal data, define relevant parameters and develop rules and codes for creating graphic visualiations. From personal sketches to collective mapping we will create hand-drawn maps questioning the role of rendering realities, turning complex information into emotional cartographies.

To prepare the sessions we will work on a small planning document.

Making this document will be helpful for announcing the .py.rate.chnic sessions to XPUB1.

Formats

The format of a session can be anything!

A few examples:

  • hack-a-thon: where you ask the participants to explore a subject, by making prototypes together (open-ended, technical, DIY)
  • workshop: departing from a specific question / technology / prototype / ... inviting others to engage with it in a specific way (methodology, how-to, tools)
  • (book) sprint: where the group writes collaboratively a manual / research text / book / and produce a website / pdf /... (collective practices, workflows, reading/writing)
  • test session: where a given procedure / methods is tested on the participants and at the end feedback is given (feedback, testing the limits)
  • ... or any other form of activation :--)

Preparations

These could include for example: a text, software installations, material to bring, ...

Using a preparation list is useful, as it will make it easier to start quickly, be a bit productive (installing things often eat up a lot of time!) and have more fun.

TIP: Do not overload the participants with too many preparations.
