Special Issue #25

⇔ Bureaucratic Review Committee (SI25)

• coding was hard to follow, especially since it was my first time working on an interactive project like the telephone. Fred would upload the code to our shared wiki page and I would read it in my own time. It did not make sense to work on the code myself as this would slow down the process, so I would occasionally follow Fred’s explanation of the code as he would be working.
• I joined later on…
• I helped in wiki documentation and scenography of the exhibition (explain a bit more about the choices of the scenography)
• Hardware set up, it was the first time I had to solder attachments and work with a raspberry pie.
• Was part of the logistics team
• Preserving peoples comments

⇔ Prototyping

• soundboards: leading to my first ever coding workshop (save as) - introducing this to the Maltese context.

Special Issue #26

soldering practice with dad! (include documentation)

★ my own website

This was the 'archiving page' of my old website that I made during my bachelors degree. I used to collect a lot of images from charity shops and I wanted to compile them all in one single page, some of them juxatposed over one-another and it was a great way to use this page to work with layering/ collaging.

This was the homepage.

Since I graduated from my bachelors in 2021, I've always dreamt of making a website for my works. I've always resorted to cargo collective to make a portfolio website but I did make my own in my bachelors and I remember feeling so accomplished with this page! I want to get that feeling again, so I plan to slowly work on it.

☆Website manifestations☆

• I want my website to be a space to show my work, but also showing my process and research / things i find interesting.
• I want my website to look like a repository. During my time at Heritage Malta, I was very inspired by archival cataloguing systems, where I renumbered and filed numerous amounts of archival imagery - i want my website to feel the same way?
• I want my website to be a container of information.
• I want my website to be my diary/ note taker.

A screenshot of one page showing a project I did last year. I was testing out the use of columns in the layout and the documentation appears when the user clicks anywhere on the screen.

I started to experiment on how I want the core structure of my website to look like:

This is the homepage, I want the information to be displayed in columns. The arrow is way too large here, but I'm figuring out how to use them as a visual guiding point.
