<how to use the laser cutting machine> prepare your file in illustrator RGB file/ R(255, 0, 0) is cutting / B(0, 0, 255) is kiss cutting / Black is engraving the stroke should be 0.01pt send your file to the computer, open it in illustrator and press print set it to VLS -> the window will pop up to the next monitor adjust the settings to whatever materials you wish to cut sometimes(very rarely) z axis might be off, so make sure go-to 'systems' and check whether the z-axis is checked you can also skip cutting/engraving by setting 'manual control' rest->skip
<how to use 3D printer> prepare your file in these programs: https://www.tinkercad.com/ put your file into the SD card you prepared make a reservation for the 3D printer insert SD card to the 3D printer you reserved sometimes you need to apply liquid glue onto the surface prepare the plastic wire, and press 'print' kinda forgot how it worked

etc_Filter / Negative Space / Starting Point
atm() I'm working on rejection as a negative space(categorized as 'others' or 'et cetera') but also as a starting/turning point/a trigger for an action with Gersande.
For more info >>>etc_Filter / Negative Space / Starting Point<<<
rejection as a spectrum
I feel like all the keywords in the rejection glossary are inter-connected, overlapping.
During the class with Cristina(9th of November) I draw this. A filter/slider/spectrum that every glossary fall under that slider.
Imagining a position of each glossary is ongoing shifting, a constant dialogue between these keywords.
