prototyping: M&Ms (Emm | chae) / Server 101

Mapping workshop, the invitation was to arrange-organize-map pictures that chae have been taken or collected.gif

M&Ms - recurring image

Recurring Images Log #1: reflection
  1. I do not really care for squares
  2. Maybe it is not meant to be shown --> Then try to write the images
  3. Observe how these images recur and how I use and combine these images
  4. Making postcards is the perfect surface to hold these images
  5. http://www.jokerobaard.nl/pdf/Unconditional-Love.pdf (from Joke Robaard) => Really agree with this statement
  6. The nicest thing was that I revisited half of the pictures while preparing for the M&M session
  7. Surprisingly not many consider taking pictures as part of their practice => interview friends who do take a lot of pictures (홍떰, 가영언니, 주영 ...)
  8. Maybe I want to organize these images
  9. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH LOOPING IMAGE in Dear Science

I recorded the screen, so check the recorded screen.mov and the pad

<form> tag log #1

The HTML form tag is required when you want to collect information that visitors provide. For example, you may want to collect specific data from visitors, such as name, email address, and password.
(from this website)

Collect. Provide. 모두 목적어 대상을 필요로 해. 무언가를 수집하고, 무엇가를 제공하고. 그 무엇이 무엇인가?

A form is essentially a container for inputs. 
form_attributes-html-forms.PNG *The action attribute points to the back-end of our web page, which handles the form submission *The method attribute is used to upload the data. The most commonly used attributes are the GET and POST methods

BB with GG

I went to the Book Binding(BB) station(?) at Rietveld Academie to see GG and make a new notebook for the semester!

Keywords: new book (World of Interiors by Aurelia Guo and A Jornal of the plague year by parasite) - San Serif - spring binding - 🐛 - carmen - leaving a space that you can grip - 3d printed opensource knife - a 10cm ruler business card - two more books (hypergraphy and one thesis, both books from GG)

week 4 (3 Oct - 7 Oct)

dinner with Kim, again brainstorming and supporting kim's idea

Individual session with Michael

some references and highlights:

  • [city script], the website is broken, yet it's super funny. Observational photo,
  • form art by Alexei Shulgin
  • the complexity of categories
  • you learn through the system, you shape the system but also system shape you

<form>tag log #2

a screenshot of jupyternote book and the html browser. In the code, I used <form>tag, <label>tag, <input>tag, <field>set
played with fieldset that creates border/line around the form tag
I realize that you have many different input types, such as date. You can also set min and max. I set min and max 1982-11-05 so that when the user click the date, it is automatically set to 1982-11-05. The day Theresa Hakkyung Cha was murdered..

Workshop: with BB and Clara

S/S: Turing wheel with grgr

It's quite hard. Totally new muscle!!!! It might take some time to be comfortable with it. Letting things go but at the same time, putting a little bit of force. Balancing between those: be steady and supportive - push and form<gr> Just ordered an underglaze pencil!

SVG Animation Log #1

My attempt was to...

  1. push the button or slider
  2. the drawing will change into one another: 1(chick) -> 2(mamang) -> 3(pommbear) and then 1 again.

But I realized that it is actually super difficult to do so, since I have 500 points. A lot of frustration and a moment of reality check that I need many small steps to take to achieve this...

REF

CMS() Project: with Nami, documentation

Here are some rules that we agreed on:

  1. approach it as comic strips, all the main images are illustrations, clumsy drawing
  2. humble font, humble aesthetic, light web
  3. make different stickers and have fun with different CSS, HTML tags(ex. when you hover over pongie's mouth, the sound of pongie explaining the concept of buchimgae publication, starts to play)
  4. later, use page.js to make a comic strip
  5. since it's workshop series, every chapter starts with clear instructions on the workshop activities
  6. the focus of the documentation is on sharing the process not the results. So approach it as a log/diary.

Recurring Images Log #2: phonecall with Hyein a.k.a. thumb

updated the pad: https://pad.xpub.nl/p/loop-images-how-we-know

keywords: food pictures - texture - thoughts and intentions that triggered to take pictures - text with an intention to capture floating thoughts - saving the same picture, like if your fridge is super disorganized you ended up buying the same vegetables that you already have - Instagram - how Instagram shaped our way of using the camera - different accounts archiving specific stuff (ex. energy drinks on the street, one glove on the street, chewing gums on the street etc)

Lunch with grgr, and work on Crunchy Research

With grgr, we cooked chicken with rice, ginger, garlic and two small yet very spicy chilly peppers in a pressure cooker. IT WAS AMAZING. Very comforting, perfect for cold weather like these days. Since the weather was super fresh and sunny, after this VERY satisfying lunch, we went for a walk. Encountered very strange yet alarming ppl (hint: museum, unintentional, art, dressed up). Had two gluten-free cakes(?). Two espressos. Brainstormed. Very nice conversations.
