Wor(l)ds for the Future
Republishing Tool Kit for an Imaginary Atlas
Words have the power to shape reality. Wor(l)ds for the Future is a set of map-making tools to re-imagine and collect wor(l)ds, and to re-publish an everchanging atlas. We invite you to delve into the materials and traverse the texts in any way you desire: by cutting and pasting the printed matter, or by unravelling the texts online. The choice is yours. You can reconstruct images and reinterpret words to create Wor(l)ds for the Future.
This project is a republication of Words for the Future (2018), a multivoiced series of ten booklets. In the 2020 version, we reinterpreted the original material through methods such as annotating and prototyping in Python (a coding language we used to analyse text as texture). The ten booklets were cross-examined and mapped in order to find interconnections and links.
Main focus on feedback loops, flux, flow and text as a regenerative organism.
OBSERVATION: Information inside a boundless space. TOOLS: ASCII (AALIB), NLTK & PDFTK Stamp / Background GOAL: Ascii texture made from texts, layering and feedback loops,
"Living text that is boundless & loops"
For my individual contribution, I was taken by the idea of feedback loops, flux, flow and text as a regenerative organism. Through Prototyping sessions, I felt that python tools such as ASCII & specifically NLTK could be used to reinforce the ideas of the flow from text to image, from output to input. My resulting pages aimed to show the looping of texts within the essay and how these can be looked at in a liquid way, settling on the ASCII representation of text flowing into itself replicating the movements of a waterfall. My end result highlights the revisiting of information but applying new methods and experiencing new forms, an idea explored in the original Liquid text.

Together we created an open city game using an unfinished Situationist International as a starting point.
I Don’t Know Where We’re Going But… is a local networked city quest based in The Hague.
During the course of this semester, we tried to imagine what the seventh issue of the Situationist Times could be if it were produced today. This resulted in a series of works located in hotspots installed throughout The Hague. The game involved a series of coordinates that invites the player into a psychogeographical exploration of this distributed publication.
My contribution
I created a game that explores the affordance possibilities of a waiting room. Gamify the non-place, what can you do with sparsely scattered interiors of transitory space? Non-places seem to be the absolute thing situationists want to avoid. The idea of a place so bound by rules yet devoid of humanity and play is fascinating to me because they're so easy to identify and we spend a lot of time in these places. Given this, I want to take the mundane aspects of a waiting room, and use them as ingredients to create a performative use of space in an attempt to suggest what a situationist non-place could be.
In regards to gameplay, this translates to using found ambient sounds to create a disruptive soundtrack of a space. Taking recognisable clips, we can redefine the meaning and purpose of this atmosphere as a jumping-off point for creativity and play.
A deep dive into trying to replicate the audio of psychogeography, the ability to manipulate these sounds and play with things that shouldn't necessarily be played with.

It's taking the mundane 'givens' of the waiting room and using them as ingredients to create.
