research methodologies	Background in scientific social research on media and technology	- Close reading and analytical observation of relevant theories, games, bodies of text. - New way to play with research, using improvisational exploration and experiential research as a valid way to construct projects. - Collective note-taking, collective reading. - Collective ways to write on etherpads and big sheets of paper. - Writing as research, speculative writing, and experimental writing. - Methodology to write with clear context and intention.
technical practice	Background in three very separate practices of baking, social science, and illustration.	- Python as a way to write poetry, make cards, make books, scan and print. - Web design: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. - Developed a prototyping practice: using different methods and materials that you initially thought and the value of many small prototypes. - Found ways to combine media forms in projects. Station skills: I learned so much about laser cutting, printing, ceramic making, tried wood and metalworking and created a more playful approach to the materials I use.
organisational skills		- Git as a way to collaborate on big coding projects. - Organizing events and exhibitions, how to write a tech rider, how to communicate when so many parts are moving.

innovation capability: flexible work practice for a variety of production contexts. conceptual skills for dealing with new forms and unforeseen challenges

critical reflection on relevant issues

informed decisions about the positioning of their work their methods

reflections on process and creative output

01. contributions to the special issues (reading, writing & prototyping practice)

They have the capacity to design, manage and execute effectively, complex and creative projects on their own or in collaboration with others, which bring together original combinations of media forms.

1. They have developed flexible work practices that can be employed in a wide variety of production contexts and have the technical conceptual skills for dealing with new forms and unforeseen challenges.
2. : They can critically reflect on relevant issues related to a larger social context and make informed decisions about the positioning of their work and methods of production. This critical reflection should be expressed through both practice, and verbal analysis of intention: reflections on process and creative output.

04. thesis (only a brief overview)

All intimacy is about bodies. Is this true? Does it matter? I doubt it. Do you know? Let’s find out, maybe.

In my thesis, I explored digital intimacies, questioning whether physical presence is truly necessary for intimacy. I also looked at how identities can fluidly exist across both human and digital realms. Instead of trying to resolve the tensions between virtual and real-life experiences, I used personal stories and shared experiences to show how online interactions can go beyond physical limitations and reshape who we are.

I focused on the idea of a digital body—a representation of ourselves similar to a dream version of our physical form. Through this concept, I discussed how digital bodies can offer relief for people in types of pain that is stigmatised, and how they can foster healing connections for diverse individuals. At the same time, I examined how prolonged use of digital intimacy can have negative effects.

0. DIGITAL BODIES

a. what is a digital body?

b. body vs. computer

c. bot-feelings

1.DIGITAL COMFORT

a. comfort care

b. uncomfortable comfort

c. unbearable intimacy

Stories that are hard to tell and hard to hear and even more, maybe, hard to understand. I have loved these stories and I have loved telling them to you. I hope you understand that my goal was for you to live these questions, to feel these stories in their confusion. My digital body, my bot-feelings, my divergent communities. I have given them to you, so they may live longer, like an obsolete but beloved cyborg shown in a museum. Look: I was here, Look: I was loved, Look: I was saved.

"Backplaces" is my exploration into intimacy beyond the body. Through poems and stories, I question what our bodies contribute to intimacy and what happens when physicality is absent. This anthology pays tribute to those who, like me, share vulnerable emotions online.

I've created three distinct online spaces within "Backplaces": **Solar Sibling**, **Hermit Fantasy**, and **Cake Intimacies**. Each originates from unique projects merging personal and shared experiences.

**Solar Sibling** is an ongoing performance blending TikTok poetry comments with my reflections on departure and sibling bonds. It concludes with participants whispering their emotions as the sun rises.

**Hermit Fantasy** is a whimsical short story inspired by survey responses on seeking emotional support online. It explores the desire for solitude in a hyper-connected world through letters and digital interactions.

**Cake Intimacies**, developed over a year, gathers stories from shared cake-eating moments and digital predictions. Each story merges physical and digital narratives, celebrating human connection.

As "Backplaces" concludes, I invite the audience to a final act: consuming digital stories like sweets. It's a playful gesture blurring virtual and physical intimacy, reflecting on the transformative power of storytelling in our digital age.
