  • Technological Sovereignty vol.2 / link

" We need to continue weaving knowledge among hackers and peoples in order to decolonise the idea of technological sovereignty and exercise it from a position of autonomy. " (A seed sprouts when it is sown in fertile soil)

"Such trails become like paved roads in our brains, and it takes truckloads of dopamine to feel pleasure. At each step, the necessary dose has to be increased. This explains why drill is so effective, and why it generates addiction. The desire for pleasure related to an automatism, which amounts to compulsive behaviour, makes us enter into a repetitive loop getting out of which becomes increasingly difficult because the neural pathways that are always excited, will not be able to do anything else but get more and more powerful with the passage of time: beat-rhythm-repetition." (Digital governance)

> Proposal guidelines explanation
text for indoors for the assessment
short practical proposal

> Writing a draft proposal:

  • What do you want to make?

- interactive web-based tool
- a performing website/ device
- A/V/T&M (audio/ video/ text & more) poem
- external module/s that is connected to the website and can modify the web content

  • How do you plan to make it?

- first to explore the existing options and get familiar with them from strictly technical side (what code it uses, how it is build up/created). To get some transpernacy about the field (JS , Python, web scrapping etc.)
- making fast-basic prototypes, that focuses on one aspect( video, audio, text, data, stream etc.)
- rethink the examples, fantasize, merge the single prototypes & get creative.
- let the making of the new tools direct the story for the project & vice versa.
- get to coding
- observe & write
- remix

  • What is your timetable?

- oct -nov = research & first simple prototypes & write the project proposal
- dec = merge experiments
- jan - feb = get to coding & story
- march - april = remix
- may = finish

  • Why do you want to make it?

- experiment with the concept of web-based artwork
- Technological autonomy x Artist autonomy
- regain autonomy over making & habits of technology
- have a better understanding about technology

  • Who can help you and how?

- don’t know yet, all the teachers at the XPUB

  • Relation to previous practice

- Special Issue 10 / module [SEVEN]
- ONLINE & IRL performance webleedlikeg.com

  • Relation to a larger context

- Technological Sovereignty
- AI x Literature
- hackers as artists & artists as hackers
- software art

  • References/bibliography

Feedback:
lists are good
the experimentation and search is going to be the project
the tools gonna make the project, tools gonna
process gonna be a part of the final result
idea of getting in the spaces of limiting access (programing, coding)
outline higgles how we see computer science and art devided, while they are interconnected,
D: question why we see these Weald the way we see
A: disagree , its popular topic, so it is already being talked about
D: in terms of eduction its is very separate
personal exploration of tools
missing story / text / where is it going ? what is the subject ?
methadolagy is toolkit - risk its flat, what is at stake?
the website mentioned was a good example

NOTES //////////////////////////

Project proposal outline:

1. What do you want to make?
a book, film, what duration, audience, specifics, clear specifics, shape , topic

2. How do you plan to make it?
how you will go about conducting your research, reading, making, writing.
how your project will come together

3. What is your timetable?
timeline
to show you know which steps to take

4. Why do you want to make it?
motivation, what drives you

5. Who can help you and how?
maybe your tutors, fellow students also ppl outside xpub

6. Relation to previous practice.

7. Relation to a larger context.
pieces of art, literature, practices that link to your work, how it connect to you.

8. References
according to the Harvard method


- thesis as a parallel activity to the project
- medium as a reflection and production
- integral part of your practice
- project proposal 1500w - thesis 7000-8000w


forms:

  • report on your research and practice - continuation of project proposal, doesn’t have to be theoretical
  • an analythical essay exploring the rallied, artistic theoretical historical issues and practices that inform your practice.
  • text as a body of creative written work, need to show research.


Homework: Hackpact : a mini prototype, sketch, gesture in relation to your project proposal

- coding together, online learning-together session, very basic prototypes as outcome (DOTADIW -- do one thing and do it well)
- specific, personalised tools making/ python / html
