Back it up dummy publication feedback

• Shift inner / outer margin
• Make inner margin bigger, outer smaller
• Like the transparency of contents page - align the front / back

• Write back to MoMA have no budget. Anything free?
• Make penguin logo smaller / nearer the spine
• Indent for one of the speakers in interview. Indent for question. Check how others do it
• ‘Hop’ in written in capital letter in Ilja’s interview

Colour treatment options for images:

• blue monotone (0, 87, 184)
• orange monotone (253, 80, 0)

Monotone picks up all that is meant to be black and changes to the desired colour - unlike Colour Library
It also gives an scanner effect when you can choose to either scan in colour, B&W or a specific colour from printer's palette.

In images such as scripts or scans of handwritten notes, both colours look good.


In images which are photographs, the blue option is easier on the eye.


Although orange is more vibrant and may represent the goofy and light-spirited energy of present Lindy hop, blue relates back to Louis Armstrong's famous Black And Blue from 1929. Black text with blue images.

29 MAY

Colour Library doesn't work with images that cannot have a colour to enhance (B&W, scripts, etc). Example below looks almost the same as original

28 MAY

Meeting with Delphine

spotify link is too dominant - try inverting colours
place all references in alphabetical order in the back with rest of references - no need for separate 'music' section

get rid of flip book idea - too much
can go back to diagonal meta data in margins

text blue / photos orange? test

chapter page always left - no need for spread, takes away from value of part 1-3 spreads

MD in acknowledgements (not dedication)

27 MAY

tried to recreate colour library orange & blue - failed

26 MAY

Colour Library: orange & blue

original image vs colour library (orange & blue)

19 MAY

After contents page have instructions / manual on how to use the publication

you will need:

• phone
• Spotify
• coins

Spotify = instead of QR code to link to music
check whether it works from print to phone

coin = not many people have dice anymore
think of Cunningham-esque task for inside publication

17 MAY

Meeting with Delphine

• imprint + acknowledgements - at the end
• info about school in imprint
• make it feel less like thesis

'book launch' won't work. not allowed to sell. could have 'donation to student'

leave experiences as we lived them
Ian Wilson - against preservation
Tino Segal - contracts

what is the materiality of the event?
according to me, this is how my work should be preserved. recorded does not mean more valid.

Ian Kapprow - script to repeat performance

1. before: planning
2. during: recording in different forms (software / props)
3. after: trace of performance

Joan Jonnas
preservation becomes the work

That's my statement. How it should be recorded, this is what I want it to become

Each section has different role

1. Group 1: instructions using buttons
2. G2: record / trace
3. G3: interpretation?
4. G4: record crowd / room / atmosphere
5. G5: record connection / non-verbal dialogue between dancers

pieces of paper with instruction / give choice?
how do you communicate this in your practise?

• book to performance
• manual / companion

• discount at ABC for printing
• check whether can use budget
• check copyright for images

first page

• Back It Up
• Q
• Name
• (no word count)

in margins
instructions "read at 90 BPM"

• figure # not necessary
• just put # next to image
• colour treatment for images, some B&W

folding indications? spread images

• propose different ways to fold page
• each person has own perception

16 MAY

Back It Up title scan with League Spartan font

scan 1 - not enough fluidity / movement
scan 5 - like the kink in the second line


scan 14 - first line too illegible
scan 19 - almost good, not great yet


scan 20 - just right

26 APR

Trials with printer / fluidity in text

23 APR

Meeting with Delphine

14 FEB

I'd like to find different ways to communicate sound and video inside the printed publication, instead of placing QR codes
those take attention away from the content itself
also could cause technical difficulties for the viewers / readers

augmented reality could be a solution

YouTube: Soundwave Tattoos: Audible Body Art

website of Skin Motion

Meeting with Michael

More excited to make thesis publication than graduation project



Go back to making quirky books

...

go back to layers
one dance in different ways
experience same dance in different ways
there's no single documentation
multiple ways / perspectives, showing slightly different stories
(highlights something another element doesn't. "this one can show rhythm, that one cannot, but focuses more on shape")

https://guttormsgaardsarkiv.no/node/10/item/1891



gather material!

• collect images (people's scores)
• film foot (limited gestures, not whole dancers)
• record sound

retrace people's scores

• better quality
• make them uniform
• my perception / interpretation of their work

Laughter at [01:46]

deconstruct a 2 minute dance
nodes to know where you are
a clap / something falling / a laughter

Discursive Selves
Excerpt from In the Vein of the Father by Elliott Jerome Brown Jr.

highlight dialogue
2 silhouettes changing colour - highlight when she initiated / made variations

decode with numbers
ball passes back and forth
similar to previous project: Decode

QR code -> turn into own code
connect print / book to video
augmented reality too much tech with possibly less effect / dry / industrial

put collected material to thesis too
