Farewell My Friend
At the end of last term, the Academy newsletter announced that all of the HR-printers within the Academy were going to be replaced by new shiny versions. Ew!
Personally, these news upset me very much. During my BA studies at WdKA, I had developed a sincere love and appreciation for these unruly machines. To the extent that I dedicated a whole practice project to investigating students relationship with, exploring and 'taming' the HR-printer and its functionalities. My Friend the HR-Printer; a project about an often misjudged and disregarded, and frankly, very underrated tool for print-publication and artistic experimentation within the academy walls!
To draw attention to the upcoming change, but mostly to pay my last tributes to the HR-printers: I reused some of the visuals I created for my past project and 'gently vandalized' four of my favorite, most-used printers around school. Cartoonish eyes and speech bubbles with sentimental adieus. Large stickers meant to anthropomorphize the printers. With texts like: "Farewell My Friends" paired with teary eyes. But also: "It is not my fault.." and "Where will you take me..?" as means to voice dissent and concerns with the decision made.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It seems clear to me that the motivation to 'upgrade' did not come from an inherent fault with the although old, but very capable printers we had. Instead, the simply result of customary long-term business agreement between an educational institution and a corporate provider. In this case, a new leasing contract with Canon©. Of course, I did not yet know how truly of an 'upgrade' the printers were going to be! (*Foreshadowing a new printer investigation??*)
Yet, another more concerning question remained unanswered. What was going to happen to the old printers? In discussions with peers and tutors, the main speculation was that the printers were either going to be passed on to other facilities or, most likely, be dismantled for parts. The useful reused and recycled, the rest stored away or tossed to the landfill.
Well. Just another 32-plus printers (from what I had counted during my printer investigation) lives cut short. Or just parts of the 'natural lifecycle' of our electronics.
♡ Rest in pieces my friends! ♡
SI#26 - Declarations
Early during the SI26 classes, numerous discussions about the evolution of the internet and browser, CSS standards and so fourth ensued. What sparked my interest most were and are the implications surrounding the power structures within the decision-making bodies and procedures that shape our user experiences. And consequently influences the ways in which we access, interact and communicate with the world online.
3DS Webzine
The idea for a 3DS web-zine, originally thought to become a 3DS-only webpage, came after Doriane invited us to bring old devices with an internet browser, to class.
These devices, of the past and present, can create an alternative web browsing experience. They may embody a physical timestamp to the evolution of technological advancements and web standards, an artifact of a not-so-long-gone past.
Besides that, I feel a personal connection to the "3DS internet browser experience". From a time in my youth without a smartphone or PC (not that they didn't exist, just that I sometimes didn't have one), when first the PSP, and later the 3DS were my only available devices with an internet connection. Just to say, I am familiar with the limitations and frustrations of using the 3DS browsers.
