Echoes of the wasteland
Installation object prompts participants to contemplate the fragility of communication and human connection in the face of the Catastrophe. It's a collection of decay, relics from a lost era, tangled wires, vinyls, adorned with symbols reminiscent of a bygone civilisation. At its core lies a mysterious time capsule, a vessel of fading messages left by the wanderers that sought comfort inside our shelter

Reading/writing practice
What I was most focused on during the whole xpub experience was reading and writing.
I did everything I could to keep up with what we were doing in our meetings, I did start a diary (Alessia/Diary/xpubone + Alessia/Logbook).
During the first year I did everything in my power to keep up with everything we were doing during our meetings, I started a diary (here). Maybe the point of making this diary was indeed aknowledge that I couldn’t always keep up with the documentation side of my XPUB journey, and to forgive myself for that.
From the SI 23 onward I began writing more, both online and offline.
“Humanisation of technology,” “games,” and “ecology” were the key themes of the second trimester. “Space/place,” “liminality,” and “countermapping” for the third.
I started collecting material on liminality (User:Alessia/liminal), which has always been a central focus of my research. Outside of the wiki, I continued to explore the topic, for example, in this piece: https://www.poetryinternational.com/en/poets-poems/archive-tours/archive-tour/105-30505_Between-Worlds.
Xpub helped me opening up a bit. I’m not as anxious about joining conversations as I used to be. Now I’m more interested in collective reading and writing (something I quite missed in the second year), and in collaborative writing environments like the pads or the wiki.
