Prev work

• Physical hosting
• Dissolute img

(and back to...

• Open Sauce
• Play!Fight!)

Themes:

-many subjectivities called to collaborate/cohere

-solidarity called for even with things we may disagree with.

• Proposal: zine on consent, content generated on the fly

First experiments

Opening up from narrow proposal of applying Dissolute Image to whole 'chunks' of text/images. What are the social/psychological processes being tested here? In what different ways could they be explored?

• Photocopied editions

- A single book made multiple by the differing tastes of the copiers

• Transcribers

- A single text split across multiple people, dependent upon their commitment to accuracy. < transcribers screenshots >

Residency

Expanding beyond digital realm. Concern shifted from Hosting to Dissemination. Looked at diverse ways of disseminating the views of others.

• Transcribing < photocopied transcriptions >
• Repeating via earpiece < video ? >

What's interesting here is how it questions autonomous agency when we start to speak others' words - authorship/agency becomes confused.

Broadcasting experiments

Aymeric said this idea of 'transmitting others' was too vague. So, brought it back to networked publishing.

• Image Embedding Ring < screenshots & feedback >

Tried out existing method (embedding) for testing willingness to 'broadcast together'

• Placard generator < placards! >

Learning new methods of transmitting the words of others.

Moving towards: publishing model incorporating the most interesting aspects of the above experiments, probably with more emphasis on P2P technologies. Idea of text as multiple not singular <Marit M - annagrammatical books>

Where Next

• Better understand P2P transmission models; role of individuals and how they relate to trackers/indexes.
