Project proposals
Wednesday 22 May
XPUB1: 11:00 - 17:00 RW&RM Steve in the small project space
Femke’s note to Steve: “Today (21-5-19) the first years proposed to develop a collective project, that would connect different individual interests in annotation in the context of digital pirate libraries. We also discussed that the launch was going to be an active situation (workshops?) rather than a presentation, since the practice of piracy seems to matter more than talking about it. One thing that is still being discussed in the group, is what collection of materials they will be annotating.”
