etc filter as an entry point to look into rejected space which can be a starting point

etc filter as an entry point/door to address/look into negative space/rejected space which can be a starting point, yet to be defined.

Overview

In the beginning, Gersande's(G) interest in the rejection list was 'rejection as a starting point' and Chae(C):'rejection as a turning point-a trigger for an action/a change/a different direction'. Chae was stuck with the word, 'et cetera' because she thought what goes under this ambiguous et cetera(and others) boundary, As C and G were learning how to analyze, process txt files and categorize, structurize using programming for several weeks,

week 7, 1st of November, prototyping

During the class, Manetta and Michael introduced us to the concept of corpora and filter. C and G were in a group (cuz we were sitting next to each other(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)) and we started a discussion about our interest in regards to the topic of 'rejection'. G mentioned S--(will be filled in) who focuses on the racial bias in A.I. and the relation between colonialism and technology.(maybe not correct.. G, plz feel free to edit) C talked about her fascination with the 'other' category and et cetera.

week 8, 9th of November, meeting after class

After having a check-in moment and group discussion with Cristina from 10:00 - 17:30(!!), G and C agreed on the following things:

1) filter etc & co
→ synonyms
→ gate to the negative space
in notebook/logbook (Jupyter-like layout),

2) Run the filter etc & co
→ use the filter to find negative space in content online(things that we wrote in etherpads, NLTK corpora, references gathered by XPUB1 and Cristina, Steve, Manetta, and Michael)

3) yet-to-be-named-publication
→ physical publication
→ annotations/updates can go back to the notebook
→ logbook as intro
→ the instructions
→ negative space waiting to be filled

4) And others(Mainly documentation)
→ track and tracing nomadic publication
→ C and G delivery service, pick-up
→ hand-to-hand
→ last reader/author chooses the next one
