Some leads on research topics?

  • The way art schools teach only proprietary software –even in WdKA, while hosting XPUB and so many DIY workshops– (idea brought by this mastodon post)
  • On social media -- Is wikipedia a social media? is it the only one still alive through the earthquakes of internet? brought by the discussion here
  • FLOSS, getting away from GAFAM and proprietary software, active participation to ethical design circles → building and maintaining a server on a RaspberryPi; dual-booting

A day with Pippin Barr & Jaret Vadara

Questions to answer

  • How do you currently document your design/artistic practice? Could you bring or describe a specific example in class? How do you feel about the way you do it right now logistically?
    • I don't really document per se, I do have my own website and try to write in this wiki as much as I can but most of the time I don't think about doing it or am a bit lazy of doing it. So I tend to take a few hours a month to implement new content. I feel like I should document more actively but at the same time it's not much of a reflex or rooted practice for me... So I also don't have any precise example besides the website and wiki :)
  • What is your approach to reflecting on your design/artistic practice? Could you bring an example of how you have made a specific design decision?"
