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.

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.
 
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?
 
Join us and let's chat using our own network!

Text Laundrette is a print party workshop.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

Edition 1 is a workshop about web scraping: extracting data from websites and exploring applications of it within an artistic practice.Workshop leaders Tash and Joca will share how they use scraping in their graduation projects: from analyzing self-censorship in Indonesia to remixing the design of your daily news. Then it's time for you to collect data, and experiment with ways to present it.
 
Please read the information below, to make sure you are ready to scrape, rinse and repeat!
   
'''Where & when:'''
 
Monday the 8th of October
11:00 till 17:00, in our lovely XPUB studio
   
'''Things to prepare:''' 
     
To get started quickly, make sure you have the following software installed
    python3
    pip3
    html5lib
    selenium
 
You can find installation instructions on the pad: https://pad.xpub.nl/p/pyratechnic1
   
   
'''Programme:'''
           
PART 1: human scraping
Introduction: Why scraping? Examples of projects
Start with pen and paper, analyzing different components, rearranging them
 
PART 2: programmatic scraping
Scraping using Python3: offering two basic scripts to start with
1. html5lib and elementtree (e.g. text, link, and tag scraping)
2. selenium (scraping via web browser automation, e.g. for dynamic elements like comments)
 
Work in small groups on different scraping prototypes (try different sources, extract different elements, find different presentation forms)

General description

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


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.


.py.rate.chnic planning document

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:

  • 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.

Format

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
