XPUB is the Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design: Experimental Publishing of the Piet Zwart Institute. XPUB focuses on the acts of making things public and [[creating publics]] in the age of [[post-digital]] networks.
As part of this trimesters topic we are induvidually and collectively working on web pages. Each week we will add a new page to the web quilt. So as part of the archiving process, I will document each web page viusally with comments rather then solely writing text/notes.


XPUB’s interests in publishing are therefore twofold: first, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public; and second, how these are, or can be, used to create publics.

* back in the studio we decided on a name for our server with a method introduced by Manetta: [https://pad.xpub.nl/p/naming-the-pi collecting names in pad]; split in groups of 2; couple up with another group and at the end all groups meet again to present their decision — the server name is '''''[https://hub.xpub.nl/chopchop/ CHOPCHOP]'''''

* the group was split in 2; one half got an introduction on html and the other half which I was part of tried to brainstorm about a possible soundboard using the WORM archive
* Thijs and Riviera were already working on a set-up so they can work at the same time in one html file — we then tried to work with 7 people in one file but it didn't work out :D

*we took the time to finish the texts that we started 2 weeks ago
*my evaluation
**it took us longer than expected - that's because we read each section silently and then took the time to talk about it
**it was good to fully understand the text at the same time it takes way longer then reading it first and then discussing the whole text
**luckily there was an abstract and a conclusion - so at the end we were still able to collect the most important informations and connect them to our SI22
*afterwards we started a big mindmap on which we are collecting all the topics that we talked about so far in the past 4 weeks - it is meant to give us an overview and connect everything
*at the end the goal is to create a glossary
*the mindmap is now part of our studio
 
=== Friday 6 October ===
*today I went to the studio and met Thijs and later Riviera and Alessia
*we spontaneously took the time to rearrange the studio space so everyone has a workplace, maybe some space in one of the shelves to leave stuff and a space where we can meet and work together
*later on Victor joined as well and Michel was there too
*now we want to collect plants and small things to make the space more cozy and less like a callcenter

ABOUT

Bernadette Geiger explores in her design practice the impact of technologies on society, in particular artificial intelligence, automation, and labor. Here, the focus is on exploring possibilities outside of current paradigms - whether they are paradigms of aesthetics, usage, technology, or economic boundaries. Her work results from the combination of sound, image and text, digital and analog.

Title: Radio Worm: Protocols for an Active Archive

Time: Sep 2023 - Dec 2023

"Students from the Piet Zwart Institute's Experimental Publishing Master (XPUB) explore and create techno-social protocols for potential active archives of Radio WORM while making radio themselves." [Radio Worm: Protocols for an Active Archive]

As part of archiving I documented my process and thoughts on SI22.

Title: Quilting Infrastructures

"In this special issue, we will look at trans*feminist, art and community servers from different perspectives, highlighting the seamful processes that run through them and bring patches, tools and practices together. Together we will be working with the notion of quilting as methodology and conceptual framework, considering quilts as multi-layered structures that are built from a patchwork of different fabrics and have visible seams which bring together a variety of textures and materials.

The focus on seams reminds us that infrastructures are often built in relation to each other, and rarely from scratch.
