Description of task

In November 2018, I experimented with a timed writing task using Etherpad, a collaborative realtime browser-based text editor. Etherpad automatically assigns authorship colours to users. I kept writing and opening up new private tabs in my browser to give each iteration new authorship colors. These are lost when exported, so I recreated the text and authorship colours to make the following visualisation:

The entire text, with authorship colours

Method

The method was to begin writing a text about what I was doing (writing and editing at the same time). I began by establishing writing periods of 3 minutes, and a rest period of 2 minutes. After 6 iterations, this shifted to 5 minutes for both respectively.

The entire text, recreated with authorship colours

Isolated outcomes

Each iteration is isolated in the following visualisations:

The authorship colours with text removed:
