NOTES
SESSIONS WITH LIDIA & STEVE:
Labyrinth, non-places (airports, places where you wait)-> Non - Places by Marc Augé
“Town labyrinths, again. There's Pisa, I don't know what is labyrinthine about it. Then suddenly, this is like when you are queuing at the airport. At some moment I start to call just about everything a labyrinth.”
“Again processions and processions ... I don't know why processions all of a sudden become labyrinthic. And that's how you walk in an underground train station.” - http://vandal.ist/thesituationisttimes/04/index.html#9/-2.512/116.266http://vandal.ist/thesituationisttimes/04/index.html#9/-2.445/148.773

ANNOTATION METHODS:
- _ZINE: With Louisa & Floor, we started annotating the existing materials for edition #7 of The Situationist Times. A prevailing theme we all connected with was the idea of the attention economy and how games are built with the purpose to keep us locked in.
- _TWINE: Using Twine 2, I added new layers of annotation, introducing the concept of non place into the Situationist discussion. [SITU ANNO]
