Sketchbook Final Project

Wed, Sep 29 2010

I wish to continue with some of the research I have been doing the first year around social networks, personalization, public/private data and spaces, continuing with an improved version of the soundbook-project from the 2nd Thematic Project. Here are the keywords that randomly come up in order to find the way towards a more formulated idea: tactility, physicality, non-digital networks, drawing/writing circuits, books as a souvenir, handwriting, decay of analogue media, hacking the format of the codex, friendship-books, diaries, postcards, the digitalization of the human mind (reading, writing habits, notes, thoughts), control and centralization of knowledge/history... [to be continued with more clarity and a fancy diagram]
