Experiments/logbook

- Disconnect as a research/practice

- Feedback loops across (a) screen, (b) device and (c) paper-based practices
- Observations on materiality of software + hardware
- (a) + (b) support and oppose (c) and vice versa - [insert diagram]
- (c) is a necessary part of my practice and is a useful method to help me observe/understand my process and to zoom in and out but indirectly, through the act of sketching
- keywords: tools, synthesis, byproduct, instrument + surface, interface
