| Be prepared to give an account of where you are at with your self-directed research and talk about what you want to achieve this year. Think concretely about what you want to make, how you are going to make it and why you are going to make it. Consider: What possibilities are open to you? (It is understood that making a final project is a process and things will change as you work on it)

| ACCOUNT:
| |
| I will start my account of self-directed research by reinterpreting the thematics from Special Issues last year. SI1, Entreprecariat: Start Up, Burn Out provided a observation of and empathyization towards global work culture in context of rising digital economy. It's an observation because we held a distance towards these phenomenons, the distance in a school building; but it's a course of emphatization because we are enveloped under these situations, contexts and environments. The publication produced in last October Ten Theses on Life Hacks is an outcome our emphatization. In the publication we delineated ten theses on life hacks. Last December we launched IRIS 0.5 which is a speculative smart agent placed in a office work environment. In parallel to the SI, I become interested in topics of digital embodiment and perception within this larger context. In SI2 we had hands on approach to DIY networking and decentralized infrastructure. In retrospect, decentralization echoed with the entreprecariat-self. How to interpret the relationship between the two? acts of decentralization are atomized selves on hold, with resistances, in doubt, in speculation, in contemplation. In SI3 we are exposed to the landscapes of collective "resistant" practices further, in context of knowledge privatization and shadow libraries. We were exposed to issues of taxonomy of knowledge, (?)legal spaces, organizations of activities (how to run workshops in context, for instance). The excursions to Rietveld Library, workshops and lectures from external guests (Eva Weinmayr, Dubravka Sekulic, Marcell Mars, Dusan Barok, Bodo Balasz, and in representatives of active organizations - The Piracy Project of AND publishing, Monoskop, aaaaarg,) greatly exposed us to how thing are operating in practicality and larger contexts (Eastern Europe, for example, which entangled different historical implications than Western Europe)

| ACHIEVE:
| | ==[[User:)biyibiyibiyi(/RW&RM 04/bibliography | bibliography]]== |
| I want to weave the thematics organically to provide the backdrop for outlining the upcoming thesis and prototyping graduation project this year. I am also interested in media archeology, which can find shared threads with the upper mentioned Special Issues. To name a few: advent of personal computing and DIY culture in 1960s; advent of APRANET (which have facets of decentralization/centralization worth unravelling); sequential to advent of APRANET is World Wide Web, hyperlinks, and derivatives of hyperlinks such as hyper-literature. (which, then at the time, are instances that provides for decentralizing potentials.)

| Against the backdrop of these research I would like to frame a context, build a practice that's conducted with speculative/fictional/playful/convivial/ decentralization.

| | |
| which consists of from now:
| |
| concerns to household electronics, infrastructural networking device (so far router, server, vpn; but to say infrastructural doesn't only refer to information infrastructure but much more), publishing (web publishing, hyper-publishing, zine making) as a gesture of voicing the self, gaining presence of unauthorized peripheries.
| |
| | |
| how am I going to make it?
| |
| does this how mean how practically?
| |
| | |
| ===what possibilities are open to me===
| |
| What material from the 'text on method' you wrote last trimester could be useful for the proposal?
| |
| | |
| What material have you written (descriptions of work , assignments for last year's methods class, the methods of annotation you developed &c) which you can use? Review the written feedback from tutors you got from previous assessments and have it available for reference during the first session
