Joseph's Plotting Class
Claudio and I tried ColorPro but we didn't have the cartridge so couldn't make it work.
We are using the Taxan printer. Joseph connected a piezo to it. We played a bit.
It was very fun, we wrote a python script together which created random squares hatched randomly across an A3:import random as r
pos = r.randint(1000,10000)
print("IN;")
print("SP1;")
for x in range(pos, 10000, 1000):
randythesecond = r.randint(1000, 10000)
randythethird = r.randint(800, 8000)
linetype = r.randint(0,4)
linelength = r.randint(1,5)
print("LT"+str(linetype)+","+str(linelength)+";")
filltype = r.randint(3,4)
fillspacing = r.randint(50,200)
fillangle = r.randint(0,2)*45
print("FT"+str(filltype)+","+str(fillspacing)+","+str(fillangle)+";")
print("PU"+str(randythesecond)+"," + str(randythethird) + ";")
print("RR1000,1000;")
print("start is = " + str(pos))
import random as r
print("IN;")
print("SP1;")
for i in range(7000,10000,1000):
linetype = r.randint(0,4)
linelength = r.randint(1,5)
print("LT"+str(linetype)+","+str(linelength)+";")
filltype = r.randint(3,4)
fillspacing = r.randint(50,200)
fillangle = r.randint(0,2)*45
print("FT"+str(filltype)+","+str(fillspacing)+","+str(fillangle)+";")
print("PU6000,"+str(i)+";")
print("RR1000,1000;")
#import is a keyword to be able to use random()
#for is a cycle, you specify the start and end
#
#for name* in a defined range (minValue, maxValue, step in between the values)
# for n in range(0,10) will result in
#0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
# for n in range(0,10, 2) =
# 2 4 6 8

What is Display about?
I feel like this one is like if there was a dinner table and first there is nothing, then you decide what goes on the table and what you bring out later or just hide in the kitchen instead of putting it on the table.
This is from mdn website:
The display CSS property sets whether an element is treated as a block or inline box and the layout used for its children, such as flow layout, grid or flex.I think this is the ultimate display website(which is also available as a poster):
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
display: inherit;
display: initial;
display: revert;
display: revert-layer;
display: unset;
intuitively I think inherit is whatever the element entails as a css standard, like list-item display keyword.
align-items(for vertical alignment) baseline: aligns things at the bottom

(from ether pad, (kiara))"we are structuring the flow with CSS"
giving structure to the flow happens in CSS, while we are often saying HTML is the structure
^^^ could it be that html is the material given and css is how it is shaped, not really like makeup or dress but controlling all the elements into shape
yesterday during dorianes class i shared with martina what i wanted to make with the web extension; a quilt. she was making blocks and it looked amazing and then they started crossing each other that made me really excited it looked amazing and it reminded me of an article about Fiberspace i read. the article is from 1994 and it starts with a prediction of what quilting would look like in 2010… imagine that… anyway we started and we got somewhere we really enjoyed but because we blurred all the images through css, the extension would break firefox and stop working a lot. I took notes on the pad we started with martina, from dorianes and freds suggestions.
I think next steps should be:
Research: quilting, speculative fiber future, archiving&collecting website/ what does it mean to pile up a digital past, why is it now more important to VISIT websites instead of staying in one platform that answers qs
Do: look into local storage thingies(jesus christ), figure out how the quilting qworks digitally with iframes, think about which website should have which styling and what could it mean(fq visited, social media, archiving websites like pinterest arena)
Get: iron, scraps, threads

Lidia's Class
I am in the HANDMADE WEB reading group with Kiara. I loved working with her I think we made a nice group and were done in literally half a day.
She wrote > OWN YOUR WEB PRESENCE -- be aware of the tools you use, the communities you're a part of, what you show (display) and how (position) < as the connection of the text to our study and I find it to be a very well written summary.
This is an ancient wayback img we found looking around the links of the text:
Unindexed the google search loop github:
https://github.com/mroth/unindexed
the web poetry artists JR Carpenter was referring to:
https://nickm.com/taroko_gorge/
This website is really fun and the poetry is incredibly immersing. I really love the project.
Lidia tells me I can use this to build something like Alan trotters website:
game made with this:
https://xrafstar.monster/games/twine/wtwla/
Artist made her own coding lang:
https://rhizome.org/editorial/2016/dec/15/mezangelle-an-online-language-for-codework-and-poetry/
This also reminds me of A House of Dust by Allison Knowles. I love how she also wrote her own coding lang, even though at the time it was probably a necessity. But she also made language bend at random... Inspiring.
Found this project while looking at ps5.js after Fred's suggestion to use it for the quilting project. Geodata Weaving Kaspar Ravel
https://p5js.org/sketches/2219842/
https://www.poelitics.org/weaving-geography
What bothers me here is that this man(derogatory) had NOOOO idea what a weaving draft is... He thought he could just read about it and put it in a pile of code... I hate that he didn't take the time to learn how to weave, never even set up a loom and was like here is a DRAFT. The drafts created by this project are unimaginably hard to prepare to weave through because the weft part of the draft is as randomised as warp. If he attempted at trying to set up a loom for even just one of the locations, he would lose his mind. And at the end he hires someone else to do it for him... Incredibly blind to the entire concept of weaving, insulting to all weavers and theoretically almost empty. I love that this was made but it can't be anything more than a visual game to play around and see what your hometown would look like on a draft...
Pseudo code
Fred tells us this is nice to use, it's also Kasper Ravel's page as well.
Server Things
For something, that is not really clear to me at the moment, I need to create and host a server... I just need to do it... Anyway!
Manetta showed me this page: Hosting and serving
I really want to get an old computer and make a server out of it. I think purchasing an old computer feels a bit more tangible and almost easier to set up a server. I really want to explore hosting a server through an android phone as well. I know Claudio has Terminal on his and can control things through there which is crazy cool.
When I was loud about it in the studio Kim mentioned that their friend made a server which shares a website link if you connect to it and the website has a compass that points to the servers direction.... Amazing stuff.
I find the A FEMINIST SERVER MANIFESTO v interesting as well.
Here it is, in a box:
A feminist server…
☞ Is a situated technology. She has a sense of context and considers herself to be part of an ecology of practices
☞ Is run for and by a community that cares enough for her in order to make her exist
☞ Builds on the materiality of software, hardware and the bodies gathered around it
☞ Opens herself to expose processes, tools, sources, habits, patterns
☞ Does not strive for seamlessness. Talk of transparency too often signals that something is being made invisible
☞ Avoids efficiency, ease-of-use, scalability and immediacy because they can be traps
☞ Knows that networking is actually an awkward, promiscuous and parasitic practice
☞ Is autonomous in the sense that she decides for her own dependencies
☞ Radically questions the conditions for serving and service; experiments with changing client-server relations where she can
☞ Treats network technology as part of a social reality
☞ Wants networks to be mutable and read-write accessible
☞ Does not confuse safety with security
☞ Takes the risk of exposing her insecurity
☞ Tries hard not to apologize when she is sometimes not available
06.02.2025
I tried everything I can with cursor-party last night. I think I need help to update the server.tsx for it to include an event listener to the whole page rather than just the chat function. I don't understand why this is not available as a tut on the project page. Feels like a natural next step. Maybe I should dive back into party kit..... I don't want to....
I started looking at the socket.io but that's also chat.

Today we are working with Imre with the Pinwriter P20
Here is how we got it to work:
Install printer from printers and scanner
on terminal run:
lpr -o raw output.txt
lpr -o raw output.txt
press SELECT as the data comes to the printer We also ran A House of Dust again and printed the output like this:
python3 dust.py > output.txt
and then run the printer again.
SURPRISE: CHECK THE CODE!! sometimes the printers prints something I=unexpected......

We talked to her about the quilting project and my notes are there
I feel like Doriane thinks there is a backwards connection from quilting to web that we can develop some sort of tool that is like loom to programming. It is an interesting perspective and something to practice by hand. Makes me want to quilt more.

Quilt Thoughts
Why is it important to bring people in a digital social space together? How do we deal with digital scraps and how do we combine them as we do in quilting? Timeline Thoughts
Timeline Thoughts
Manetta says the disordered timeline of 'updates' is as interesting as the regular order of a timeline. What does it mean to have published an update to CSS when it comes to seeing it/using it on a website or while building a website. Who decides on the web browser adaptation of CSS and how it looks?
Browser implementation and how does that relate to the timeline?
--webkit
What is interesting about the timeline? Could we be the timeline research group instead of making a timeline? How could we publish it in a way that creates space to articulate more on the research?
how do we narrate the timeline and how do we talk about CSS implementations through time? how does our narrative effect the story of CSS?
who is the audience? is it our study object and research? think about the audience later? when the pub comes along?
