Recurring Images Reflection
- I do not really care for squares
Maybe it is not meant to be shown --> Then try to write the imagesI realized that I use these materials as starting point for drawings- Observe how these images recur and how I use and combine these images
- Making postcards is the perfect surface to hold these images
- http://www.jokerobaard.nl/pdf/Unconditional-Love.pdf (from Joke Robaard) => Really agree with this statement
- The nicest thing was that I revisited half of the pictures while preparing for the M&M session
- Surprisingly not many consider taking pictures as part of their practice => interview friends who do take a lot of pictures (홍떰, 가영언니, 주영 ...)
- Maybe I want to organize these images
- WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH LOOPING IMAGE in Dear Science?!!
Group Tutorial: server 101
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.
*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

<form>tag log #2
Workshop: with BB and Clara
S/S: Turning 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
Just ordered an underglaze pencil!
Now I have it!!(4th Dec.) But when can I try it?!

SVG Animation Log #1
My attempt was to...
- push the button or slider
- 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...

CMS() Project: with Nami, documentation
Here are some rules that we agreed on:
- approach it as comic strips, all the main images are illustrations, clumsy drawing
- humble font, humble aesthetic, light web
- 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)
- later, use page.js to make a comic strip
- since it's workshop series, every chapter starts with clear instructions on the workshop activities
- 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.

It was dramatic, but with Nami, we managed to print out our first booklets! Using page.js Super cute!
chatty, messy, sticky, huuup!!!
"chatty, messy, sticky, huuup!!!" is a workshop where participants collage their unpublished materials and present them in a performative way. Hosted by two Rotterdam-based artists, Chaeyoung and Nami, this workshop aims to create a temporary platform where individuals' unpublished contents become published.
Letting go of shyness, laziness, unsatisfaction, and so on... participants will have a moment to look at the materials and position them in a new context.
To participate, please select and bring two unpublished materials* made or collected by you; 1 print and 1 digital file**
*Q. What do you mean by 'unpublished materials'? 'Unpublished materials' can be a picture, a story, a recipe, a drawing, a text, a sound piece, a piece of knowledge, etc that you haven't shared with anyone (nor any social platform).
**Q What do you mean by 'print' and 'digital file'? 'Print' literally means all different kinds and sizes of printed matter. 'Digital file' can be a photo from your phone, a recording of your voice, a video, a piece of code, you name it.

Plus I was so excited to see XPUBies using metal works that I made to crack walnuts. (lol)
I HAVE A NEW LAPTOP!!!!!!! ( 」ﾟДﾟ」
While installing and decorating my /Desktop environment, I imagined a desktop as a space where ppl can make a dedicated folder but with custom-made drawings or photos and some notes or page which is a story. So when you submit the story, it will create a folder with a drawing as an icon. Something like this. (Not the image below but see thumbnail pic with lost-things-sketch subtitle)

이해하기 쉽게 정리해두기 미래의 나를 위해서 우리를 위해서
# portability (you can easily install your project on another machine) (using the virtual environment and the requirements.txt file) # the prefix /soupboat/ in front of every url, that ultimately is the most annoying thing of working in the soupboat bc it breaks all the links # the ngnix configuration that is the most tricky part to figure out, but now there is like 1 year of struggle and trial and error and finally make sense. # setting up the application as part of the server services, in the way that it runs automatically when the server starts and when the soupboat crash [telegram chat that kamo sent]
How to: pdf. into Booklet and then print it with a Hogeschool printer

Bibliography & Ref. note: 혼밥생활자의 책장
www.youtube.com. (n.d.). 123화 혼밥생활자의 스피커 | 포스트 낙태죄 폐지..이제 대학에 피임클리닉을 요구하자 with 손희정, 이유림, 김다은. [online] Available at: https://youtu.be/vQkGkr58UTg [Accessed 8 Dec. 2022].
=> 욕망을 상상하기. 이제 피임클리닉을 욕망하고 요구하는 것. 어떤 것을 적극적으로 욕망해내고 상상할 것인가. 그리고 이 에피소드를 들으면서 들었던 가장 큰 생각은 예리하고 세심하게 살피는 일이 얼마나. 얼.마.나. 중요한 일인지를 절감했어. 언어를 예리하게 쓰는 것. 좀더 예리하고 섬세하게 작업을 접근하는 태도가 이런 점에서 중요하다는 생각을 많이하게 돼. 나아가, 졸업 프로젝트와 연결해서 생각해봤을때 너무 중구난방이 되지 않도록 잘 선택하는 것이 중요할 것 같다는 생각. 여차하면 너무 넓어져서 예리함을 잃을 수도... 잃는다기 보다는 강약이 필요해. 하이라이트, 반짝임을 생각하며 접근하기. 하이라이트가, 반짝임이 존재하기 위해서는 콘트라스트, 묵직하게 톤을 잡아주는 것이 필요해. [내가 글 적어두는 패드에서 가지고 옴]
Bibliography & Ref. note: Care Manifesto / Reading is fundamental
세상에 대한 돌봄
세상에 대한 돌봄 파트에서 소개된 다양한 초국가적 행동과 규제들을 읽으면서 그리고 현재 월드컵이 진행되고 있는 상황을 바라보면서, 문득 우리는 다른 식의 연대의식을 느낄 수 있는 것이 필요하다는 생각이 들어. 예컨대 모로코 대 스페인 전에서 모로코가 이기고, 그래서 네덜란드에 사는 모로코 이주자들 혹은 그렇게 정체화하는?이들이 거리를 점유하는 것을 보면서 아. 좋다 라는 생각을 했었는데, 다시금 이 거리를 점유하는 사람들. 이 도시를 사는, 구성해내는 이들이 누구인가를 느낄 수 있는 시간이었기 때문이야. 헌데 국가적 아이덴티티를 강화하는, 국뽕 국힙 등의 말들, 다양한 월드컵 등 처럼 국가의 정체성을 국가의 이미지를 강화하면 할수록 초국가적 사안들을 상상해내는 것이 어려워지지는 않을까?라는 생각. 물론 강력한 국가적 아이덴티티를 갖고 있으면서도 초국가적, 지구적 차원의 행동들을 상상하는 것이 가능할수도 있지만, 국가적 아이덴티티를 강화하는 이미지들을 생산하면 생산할수록 무엇이 그것에 가려지는가?
세상에 대한 돌봄
역사적으로 풀뿌리 저항은 종종 대단히 놀라운 결과를 만들어냈다. 일시적으로나마, 2012년 아랍의 봄에서 본 것처럼 탄압하는 정부를 무너뜨리거나, 배수관 설치, 채굴, 파쇄, 삼림 벌채 또는 댐 건설 등으로 비록되는 환경 위해를 저지하기도 했다. 레베카 솔닛이 언급했듯이 '모든 저항운동은 세상의 균형을 바꾸거나' 그럴 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있다. 어떠 한 곳에서 발생한 저항의 양식이 억압을 받는다 해도 지리적 경계를 뛰어넘어 다른 지역에서, 심지어 지구 반대편에서 또 다른 형식으로 싹을 틔울 수 있다.

Individual Tutorial with Natasha
Flask-documentation with Kamo
what it means to work on a web-based project in XPUB with the shared server
- Flask (xpub wiki page about Flask, also document how to deploy your app to the server aka. soupboat)
- XPPL (xpub wiki page about the project that is using a more advanced version of Flask)
- branched out documentation (Maybe this could lead to the future Flask workshop with XPUB2)
- webhook -> then you do not need to open the terminal in soupboat to pull from git any more!!?
week 14 (12 Dec - 16 Dec)
