writing
A lot of my time here has been spent writing. Writing and editing text has always been something that I enjoy, but (except for a three-month internship in journalism), I never focused on it much. Since I find myself doing it regularly, though, I would like to do it more intently.
✏️ Wiki Writing — Documenting my process and my own as well as group projects
✏️ SI28 Editorial Group — Wrote promotional texts and the introduction to our A_maze_zine
✏️ Blog — Very fun (but scary)!
✏️ Writing Wednesdays — Biweekly meetup to sit down and write together
making
writing machines
For the first few weeks of XPUB, reading texts, learning about new tools, and documenting everything has been all I did. I was longing to actually make things, and was excited to start tinkering with writing machines. I have long been interested in surrealists methods such as automatic writing and exquisite corpse, and I started noticing writing machines in the wild, and had lots of fun making my own. One thing that I did struggle with though, was finding meaning (beyond “I had fun“), in the texts produced.

zines
Making zines has been part of my practice for a long time. What I love about it: It is a very quick mode of publishing (if you want it to be—I tend to overthink the process), and there is a physical object to hold and distribute. During the last two Special Issues, I learned a few new things about zine-making and me: Command line tools are awesome! Pdfbook2 and weasyprint simplify tasks that I used to spend a lot of time on. And—making zines together is the most fun!

websites
Before I came to XPUB, I had vibe coded most parts of all the websites I made. I was determined to actually learn HTML and CSS during my time here, but I am rarely finding the time to sit down and write code. These pages are what I made during SI29—very simple, but made without AI. That does not mean that I wrote everything from scratch, though. I got help from others, or used existing code snippets found on the web.

field recordings
Although I adored the topic of SI28, I was less excited about the radio shows. I had very limited experience working with sound, and I am quite terrible at public speaking. Things that I did enjoy, though, were sharing music and found sounds with others, as well as making field recordings of my surroundings when going for a walk.
