What do you want your first project to be?
I want to let two smartphone talk to each other with text messages only by using the word proposals.
How do you plan to make it?
I will read about writing machines, turing tests, research how personal the word proposals are. In addition I will need knowledge about arduino because I think I need a kind of machine that clicks the word-proposals on the smartphone. At the end I think I will have to machines clicking on the word-proposals and after x words on "send"… then the other machine should start. But I don't want the machines to bei in the focus… the outcome should be more important, the messages… don't know how to achieve this at the moment. maybe the outcome is the only visible and the machines aren't… we will see.
Who can help you and how?
Don't know exactly. Maybe Michael und Aymeric?
What are you working on now?
At the moment I consider how the machines could look and how I can make another prototype. I built a first prototype to see what I need to toggle a click on the phone.
Relation to previous practice
How does your research connect to previous projects you have done? Here you can use the descriptions you made in the first session
Relation to a larger context
Meaning practices or ideas that go beyond the scope of your personal work. Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project. For example, if you are researching urban interventions, you might want to research about Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets. Or, if you want to explore the way data is tracked, you might touch upon the politics of data mining by referencing concerns laid out by the Electronic Frontier or highlight theoretical questions raised by Wendy Chun or others. (Keep in mind that we are *not* expecting well formulated conclusions or persuasive arguments in the proposal phase. At this juncture, it's simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon as your research progresses.)
References
A list of references (Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed. These are starting points which should lead to more substantial texts and practices.) As with your previous essays, the references need to be formatted according to the Harvard method.) See: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/A_Guide_to_Essay_Writing#The_Harvard_System_of_referencing
Feel free to include any visual material to substantiate, illustrate or elucidate your proposal. For example use images to reference your work or that of others.
