Notes
Readings for Prototyping class
Wiki Page Prototyping Class SI 16
Exploratory Programming for the Arts and Humanities by Nick Montfort
[ 4 ] Calculating and Using Jupiter Notebook
calculator (to calculate) / computer (to compute) / ordinateur (French, to order, to organize)
Python is a programming language
Jupiter Notebook is an interpreter of Python
Syntax vs. Semantics in programming languages like Python or Processing:
- If the Syntax is correct, the code is formally correct, it is valid.
- If the code does what it is supposed to do, it is intentional.
- Intentional programs are always valid.
- Valid programs are not always intentional.
Syntax and Semantics in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language):
- HTML is not a programming language
- JavaScript is a program
- HMTL does not encode instructions
- Web Browser are forgiving and will also render invalid pages whenever possible. Just because a page is looks intentional in a web browser it doesn't mean it's valid code. So maybe other or future web browsers will struggle to show the intended page. Use Validators like validator.w3c.org to make sure your code is valid.
! Dont ever replace the content of a a cell in Python once it has successfully run, even if the outcome is not intentional. Instead copy to a new cell to change the content !
[ 5 ] Double, Double
Indentation is important! Use 4 spaces instead of a tab!
- Function: a bundle of computation 7 it must be provided exactly one argument / a function accepts arguments as well as returns values
- Interface: Schnittstelle / the specific way in which a function accepts an argument and returns values defines the interface to a function
- Argument: Ausgangswert? / Information that is passed into a function / The arguments to the function hold the values that the function needs to do its work. It sends back the answer aas return value
- Value: Ergebnis / Result that is returned by the function
- Sequence: data that is given as an argument
- Element: a sequence can have several elements, a list [element, element, element]
[ 6 ] Programming Fundamentals
Types of Abstraction:
- iteration = generalize a computation over a sequence / looping / allows repeated computation
- polymorphism = a code that applies to data of different types
there are different types of data, for example:
- integral numbers = int
- strings of characters = str
- lists of integers = int
- Boolean value = True/False
some functions or operator only work with certain types of data, other are polymorph and work with different types of data
types of data can be converted = casting
inner and outer universe / scope: variable have a certain value in a function, but outside of the function the same variable can have a different value
Reflection moment
I was re-reading what we have to prepare for Christinas class and realized I misunderstood it the first time. I guess we are not supposed to bring even more new texts/material to elaborate, but rather bring examples of processing methods. So as far as I understand we should focus on different ways to approach a text or material, how to process/play/manipulate/work with it …
I think I will try to come up with maybe 3 different processing methods and use any text or material (old or new) to exemplify these methods. A method could be a complex annotation system but also a super simple and playful manipulation (i.e. get rid of all the punctuation in a text and see what happens).
What do you think? Should we just play around with this and then present our favorites in class?

Confused Notes
As a creative tool / process / rejection toolkit ~ Rejection = Ablehnung, Zurückweisung, Abstoßung, Abweisung, Abwehr, Aussortierung, aber auch Verwerfen ~ ignorieren, vergessen, verwerfen ~ generieren (produzieren), verwerfen (entscheiden) / entwerfen/verwerfen ~ Summerschool! also: Rejection as a collektive process? ~ Chronisten vs. Anemophile: Entwürfe aufbewahren oder verwerfen? ~ Talmud: keine Umschreibung, Überschreibung, Neuschreibung ~ Deutungen/ Ideen / Entwürfe bleiben parallel bestehen: multiperspektivisch (situated knowledge?) ~ to define the book limits the book ~ collect or select ~ curation: change context by selecting (and rejecting) certain things ~ responsibility ~ unpublished! ~ rejection as choice ~ definition generator just as book? ~ or: (because its easier I think): definition of curating, including rejection ~ rejection process changes vernacular language into formal language? ~ bleed ~ annotations / references / pagina ~ artifacts ~ stream of consciousness (in words or images) ~ our conscience can only focus on one thing and rejects the others? ~ selection by choice, by data, by association ~ Found items ~ Rejected items ~ Leaving a trace ~ Rejection toolkit ~ Topographie des Zufalls ~ Kill your darlings ~ Souvenirs of thinking processes ~ Remnants of the process ~ Embracing the unpublished / rejected ~ Extract ~ mapping / delineate ~ lost traces / ephemere ~ relic ~ ghost ~ echoes, memories ~ record, permanent form ~ vernacular memories ~ collective memories ~ Delinetae the unknown ~ Delineate the ephemeral ~ Delineate situated knowledges / language / action / memories ~ Delineating the situated ~ Delineate the vernacular ~ miscelenious ~ Connotation / context / curating ~ Rejection as categorization (libraries, archives) ~ … in Rejection ~ Topography of the Book ~ Delineating the Book ~ Rejection as Delineation ~ Rejection as tool, responsibility, curating ~ Experiment: have one collection of items and let at least two individuals select, organize, contextualize, curate them (also by adding new things?)

Setting up my brand new Raspberry Pi / Christmas 2021
Setup Notes for Beginners (yes, that´s me!)
* put Sd card in your computer * download Raspberry Pi Imager (software that helps with an easy setup on the sd card ) * Video turotial * open Raspberry Pi imager software * choose operating system (in this case Raspberry Pi OS 32-BIT) * select the sd card * configurate username, password and wifi: ctrl + shift + x
* (default) settings: * Hostname = raspberrypi.local * activate ssh * password for „pi“: raspberry * = pi@raspberrypi.local
* setup wifi
* write to sd card (the sd card is now named „boot“) * eject sd card and put it in the Raspberry Pi * connect the pi to power (wait until the light stops blinking) * to test ssh connection: connect Raspberry Pi and computer via ethernet cable * open terminal and write: ssh pi@raspberry.local * password: raspberry * if it give "WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED!" go to finder * "command + shift + ." to show hidden files * go to folder jianhaake and delete the ".ssh" folder * go back to terminal and try again: ssh pi@raspberrypi.local * confirm with yes and give password
Setup Notes Advanced (maybe later … )
The complete setup is done manually using the terminal.

THE TWO OF US WROTE ANTI-OEDIPUS TOGETHER. SINCE EACH OF US WAS SEVERAL, THERE WAS ALREADY QUITE A CROWD. HERE WE HAVE MADE USE OF EVERYTHING THAT CAME WITHIN RANGE, WHAT WAS CLOSEST AS WELL AS FARTHEST AWAY. WE HAVE ASSIGNED CLEVER PSEUDONYMS TO PREVENT RECOGNITION. WHY HAVE WE KEPT OUR OWN NAMES? OUT OF HABIT, PURELY OUT OF HABIT. TO MAKE OURSELVES UNRECOGNIZABLE IN TURN. TO RENDER IMPERCEPTIBLE, NOT OURSELVES, BUT WHAT MAKES US ACT, FEEL, AND THINK. ALSO BECAUSE IT’S NICE TO TALK LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, TO SAY THE SUN RISES, WHEN EVERYBODY KNOWS IT’S ONLY A MANNER OF SPEAKING. TO REACH, NOT THE POINT WHERE ONE NO LONGER SAYS I, BUT THE POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER OF ANY IMPORTANCE WHETHER ONE SAYS I. WE ARE NO LONGER OURSELVES. EACH WILL KNOW HIS OWN. WE HAVE BEEN AIDED, INSPIRED, MULTIPLIED. A BOOK HAS NEITHER OBJECT NOR SUBJECT; IT IS MADE OF VARIOUSLY FORMED MATTERS, AND VERY DIFFERENT DATES AND SPEEDS. TO ATTRIBUTE THE BOOK TO A SUBJECT IS TO OVERLOOK THIS WORKING OF MATTERS, AND THE EXTERIORITY OF THEIR RELATIONS. IT IS TO FABRICATE A BENEFICENT GOD TO EXPLAIN GEOLOGICAL MOVEMENTS. IN A BOOK, AS IN ALL THINGS, THERE ARE LINES OF ARTICULATION OR SEGMENTARITY, STRATA AND TERRITORIES; BUT ALSO LINES OF FLIGHT, MOVEMENTS OF DETERRITORIALIZATION AND DESTRATIFICATION. COMPARATIVE RATES OF FLOW ON 3 4 INTRODUCTION: RHIZOME THESE LINES PRODUCE PHENOMENA OF RELATIVE SLOWNESS AND VISCOSITY, OR, ON THE CONTRARY, OF ACCELERATION AND RUPTURE. ALL THIS, LINES AND MEASURABLE SPEEDS, CONSTITUTES AN ASSEMBLAGE. A BOOK IS AN ASSEMBLAGE OF THIS KIND, AND AS SUCH IS UNATTRIBUTABLE. IT IS A MULTIPLICITY-BUT WE DON’T KNOW YET WHAT THE MULTIPLE ENTAILS WHEN IT IS NO LONGER ATTRIBUTED, THAT IS, AFTER IT HAS BEEN ELEVATED TO THE STATUS OF A SUBSTANTIVE. ONE SIDE OF A MACHINIC ASSEMBLAGE FACES THE STRATA, WHICH DOUBTLESS MAKE IT A KIND OF ORGANISM, OR SIGNIFYING TOTALITY, OR DETERMINATION ATTRIBUTABLE TO A SUBJECT; IT ALSO HAS A SIDE FACING A BODY WITHOUT ORGANS, WHICH IS CONTINUALLY DISMANTLING THE ORGANISM, CAUSING ASIGNIFYING PARTICLES OR PURE INTENSITIES TO PASS OR CIRCULATE, AND ATTRIBUTING TO ITSELF SUBJECTS THAT IT LEAVES WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A NAME AS THE TRACE OF AN INTENSITY. WHAT IS THE BODY WITHOUT ORGANS OF A BOOK? THERE ARE SEVERAL, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE LINES CONSIDERED, THEIR PARTICULAR GRADE OR DENSITY, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THEIR CONVERGING ON A 'PLANE OF CONSISTENCY' ASSURING THEIR SELECTION. HERE, AS ELSEWHERE, THE UNITS OF MEASURE ARE WHAT IS ESSENTIAL: QUANTIFY WRITING. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT A BOOK TALKS ABOUT AND HOW IT IS MADE. THEREFORE A BOOK ALSO HAS NO OBJECT. AS AN ASSEMBLAGE, A BOOK HAS ONLY ITSELF, IN CONNECTION WITH OTHER ASSEMBLAGES AND IN RELATION TO OTHER BODIES WITHOUT ORGANS. WE WILL NEVER ASK WHAT A BOOK MEANS, AS SIGNIFIED OR SIGNIFIER; WE WILL NOT LOOK FOR ANYTHING TO UNDERSTAND IN IT. WE WILL ASK WHAT IT FUNCTIONS WITH, IN CONNECTION WITH WHAT OTHER THINGS IT DOES OR DOES NOT TRANSMIT INTENSITIES, IN WHICH OTHER MULTIPLICITIES ITS OWN ARE INSERTED AND METAMORPHOSED, AND WITH WHAT BODIES WITHOUT ORGANS IT MAKES ITS OWN CONVERGE. A BOOK EXISTS ONLY THROUGH THE OUTSIDE AND ON THE OUTSIDE. A BOOK ITSELF IS A LITTLE MACHINE; WHAT IS THE RELATION (ALSO MEASURABLE) OF THIS LITERARY MACHINE TO A WAR MACHINE, LOVE MACHINE, REVOLUTIONARY MACHINE, ETC.-AND AN ABSTRACT MACHINE THAT SWEEPS THEM ALONG? WE HAVE BEEN CRITICIZED FOR OVERQUOTING LITERARY AUTHORS. BUT WHEN ONE WRITES, THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHICH OTHER MACHINE THE LITERARY MACHINE CAN BE PLUGGED INTO, MUST BE PLUGGED INTO IN ORDER TO WORK. KLEIST AND A MAD WAR MACHINE, KAFKA AND A MOST EXTRAORDINARY BUREAUCRATIC MACHINE . . . (WHAT IF ONE BECAME ANIMAL OR PLANT THROUGH LITERATURE, WHICH CERTAINLY DOES NOT MEAN LITERARILY? IS IT NOT FIRST THROUGH THE VOICE THAT ONE BECOMES ANIMAL?) LITERATURE IS AN ASSEMBLAGE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IDEOLOGY. THERE IS NO IDEOLOGY AND NEVER HAS BEEN.

BOOK
A book has neither object nor subject; it is made of variously formed matters, and very different dates and speeds. To attribute the book to a subject is to overlook this working of matters, and the exteriority of their relations. It is to fabricate a beneficent God to explain geological movements. In a book, as in all things, there are lines of articulation or segmentarity, strata and territories; but also lines of flight, movements of deterritorialization and destratification.

is not destination, but it is not entirely divorced from destination either. It’s a movement of inclination requiring markers of orientation. If navigation requires inclination to lend a functional or affective valence of direction to mobility, the politics of navigation are bound to claims on constructing these points of referential orientation, as well as making them sensible, intelligible, and shareable. Second, navigation is reliant on extra-local, mental diagrams of space and time that are continually cross-referenced with situated localization. In this way navigation embodies the continuum between the conceptual and the material; and it is due to this weaving that navigators can continually revise and adapt their choreography and markers of orientation over time. As the saying goes, the map is not the territory. However, arresting this thought in its purely oppositional state undermines the crucial, synthetic dynamic wherein the map (understood as a conceptual artifact) partially shapes:
- the perception and perceptibility of the territory or system,
- how that territory or system is thought to exist beyond immediate sensory feedback (if it is sensible at all),
- the possibility space of its imagined tractability, and
- the understanding of causal interrelations, which contribute to pictures of agency.
ORIENTATION
We can only find our way in a dark room if we know the difference of the sides of the body. Space then becomes a question of „turning“, of directions taken which allow us to find our way through the world by situating ourselves in relation to such things.
SPACE
is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. In classical physics, physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.
WEAVING
Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. Other methods are knitting, crocheting, felting, and braiding or plaiting.
The term can also be used to describe the structure of a text:
"The book weaves together four stories."

Selection Process / Annotation Compass

Ideas, thoughts, process
Link to our pad:
https://pad.xpub.nl/p/sunday
Experiment 1
For this experiment, four of us were gathered in a living-room.
- Number of participants: 4
- Location: Supi's living room
- Aim: Map out each participant's impressions of the living room.
- Material: The living room's floor plan, computers, InDesign
- Time-frame: 5 minutes
- Instructions: individually annotate the floor plan with impressions of the living room
After removing the floor plan and looking at the subjective annotations of this experiment, we observed that each outcome forms another 'space'. Each person's set of annotations brings a unique perspective of the living room , an 'individual map'. We then layered the individual maps and the compilation resulted in a vernacular picture of the space. This alternative understanding of the space can only be given to a reader through those descriptions.
experiment 1: floor plan + all annotations
experiment 1: floor plan + all annotations
experiment 1: all annotations without floor plan
experiment 1: annotations of participants 1
experiment 1: annotations of participants 2
experiment 1: annotations of participants 3
experiment 1: annotations of participants 4
Experiment 2
For this experiment, four of us were gathered in a room.
- Number of participants: 4
- Location: Supi's living room
- Aim: Map out each participant's impressions of a photograph of an unknown room
- Material: photograph of an unknown room (shown on a display), sticky notes in 4 colours, pens
- Time-frame: 5 minutes
- Instructions: individually annotate the photograph with impressions of the unknown room
experiment 2: setup: display, photograph, sticky notes
experiment 2: sticky notes without the photograph
experiment 2: sticky notes sorted by colour (= participants)
Each of us used a different set of coloured sticky notes and took 5 minutes to physically annotate the picture on the same surface. The picture was then removed from the background, resulting in a similar outcome as the experiment described above.
From these observations, our interest on subjective annotations that could flow in a common understanding of an image grew. As a tool to collect situated impressions, we elaborated the idea of the Annotation Compass.
On a given surface, such as an image, the tool facilitates the collection of annotations and their coordinates from various users simultaneously. These annotations represent individual knowledges and perspectives in regards to the given surface.
Visual Experiments
Outcome
In the end we came up with a tool, the "Annotation Compass":

Rejection Map
Rough Notes
- Being together and share space while acknowledging differences
- Share experiences while acknowledging different backgrounds
- embrace multiple ways of knowing and feeling of the world
- Rejection map of Rotterdam
- Ask you to share moments of rejection and
- Second of acceptance
- Where you experienced or witnessed
- Since a lot is happening online you can still locate it
- Try to really situate it (is it a specific house or a whole neighborhood)
- Not only you but witness
- It can be related to housing, relationship, school or job, to you being new in the city, new in traffic, community, language
- It can be only one word describing the situation or your feelings, or a little anecdote
- Use you very own words, nothing is expected from you
- It can be cryptic (eg using slang, your mother tongue, only glyphs not words) if you dont want it to be a secret
- Reflection or memories, but you can also overwrite it with something new, hopes
- Where you rejected a thought
- Create non existing landscapes
Functions
All of the following functions were built for a project where individuals are invited to add their annotations on a map using the Annotation Compass. Each annotation-label is stored in a json-file and includes the annotation-text itself, but also the name of the image-file as well as the position, size, index, timestamp and userID of the annotation.
Example for a label:
{'image': 'map.jpg',
'position': {'x': 12, 'y': 97},
'size': {'width': 43, 'height': 18},
'text': 'This is a text! Is this a text?',
'timestamp': 'Wed, 01 Dec 2021 14:04:00 GMT',
'userID': 5766039063}
individual_maps()
https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/si16/functions/html_tag/
If interested in all annotations of one or more specific users, individual_map() can help. The function needs a string with the name of the of the image-file that was annotated with the annotation compass tool as well as one or more specific userIDs to target. The output is a list of all labels from the users of interest.

vernacular_map()
https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/si16/functions/vernacular_map/
If interested in all annotations vernacular_map() can help. The function needs a string with the name of the of the image-file that was annotated with the annotation compass tool. The output is a string that includes all annotation-texts plus html-tags that place them back into their original position.

area_map()
https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/si16/functions/area_map/
If interested in the annotations in a specific area of the map, area_map() can help. The function needs a string with the name of the of the image-file that was annotated with the annotation compass tool as well as four specific values to define the left, right, top and bottom outlines of the selected area. The output is a list of all labels in the defined area of interest.
def area_map(image: str, left: int, right: int, top: int, bottom: int ) -> list:

highlight_map()
https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/si16/functions/highlight_map/
If interested in all annotations that include a specific target, highlight_map() can help. The function needs a string with the name of the of the image-file that was annotated with the annotation compass tool and a target-word. The output is a string that includes all annotation-texts plus html-tags that place them back into their original position while highlighting the annotation-texts that include the target.
def highlight_map(image: str, target: str ) -> str:

ghost_map()
https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/si16/functions/ghost_map/
If interested in the traces the annotations leave, ghost_map() can help. The function needs a string with the name of the of the image-file that was annotated with the annotation compass tool as well as a ghost-glyph that will replace all characters of the annotation-texts. The output is a string that includes all replaced annotation-texts plus html-tags that place them back into their original position.
def ghost_map(image: str, ghost_glyph: str ) -> str:

html_tag()
https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/si16/functions/html_tag/
The following functions need to be combined with the HTML-tag-function to generate visual outcome:
- individual_map()
- area_map()
- target_map()
If interested in the position, text, timestamp and/or userID of all annotations, html_tag() can help. The function needs a string with the name of the of the image-file that was annotated with the annotation compass tool as well as four Boolean Values that define which information is of interest. The output is a string that can include the position, text, timestamp and/or userID of all labels plus html-tags that place them back into their original position.
def html_tag(image: str, position: bool, text: bool, timestamp: bool, userID: bool ) -> str:

This function generates amazing cocktail recipes for you to try! The cocktail menu includes the categories alcohol, base, sour, sweet and omph. There is also a category for a decorative gadget and one for an extra snack. Each category has a default list of ingredients and the function randomly chooses one ingredient per category. You prefer Rum and Tequila over Vodka? Or maybe you want a non-alcoholic cocktail? Don´t worry! For the categories alcohol and decor you can insert your own ingredients to pick from. Enjoy!
Menu: default ingredients: base = ORANGE JUICE, PINEAPPLE JUICE, APPLE JUICE, MANGO JUICE, FRIZZY WATER, GRAPEFRUIT JUICE, TONIC WATER sour = LEMON JUICE, LIME JUICE, PASSION FRUIT sweet = AGAVE SIRUP, SUGAR SIRUP, MAPLE SIRUP omph = 1 SLICE GINGER, 2 LEAVES MINT, 1 SLICE CUCUMBER, 1 STICK CINNAMON, SALT RIM snack = CHIPS, SALTED CORN, PRETZELS, SALTED NUTS users ingredients: alcohol = decor =
In this exmaple the function chooses between three alcoholic ingredients and two decoratin gadgets

How to change file on Raspberry Pi
To communicate and change .py-file on raspberry pi:
1. Connect both the raspberry pi and the computer to internet via ethernet 2. Open terminal, type: ssh pi@raspberrypi.local 3. Give default password: raspberry 4. List files: ls (Should list only one python file: final.py) 5. To access the file via GNU nano: sudo nano final.py
Change code directly on the Pi (small changes) * change code * confirm with: control + O "Write out" * enter to confirm and control X to go back to terminal
Or change code in python file on your computer (bigger changes) delete the content of the final.py file on the Pi and then copy paste the whole code from the file on your computer: * Removes content of the file: sudo rm final.py * List files: ls (Should list only one python file: final.py) * To access the empty file via GNU nano: sudo nano final.py * paste the new code * confirm with: control + O "Write out" * enter to confirm and control X to go back to terminal
After the changes of the file, reboot raspberry pi: sudo reboot
Trying to setup a new Button
Message to Chae:
Lets try a very simple and easy setup that uses the new button, only without its LED light (the LED needs 12V and extra power source, so its too complicated)
1. Take photo of current setup (so that you can always go back to it!) 2. Look at the switch that comes with the new button, it should look like this (Fig. 1) 3. Leave the cable on the pins of the raspberry pi! 4. On each pin you have a female cable + a male cable that connect to the breadboard 5. Pull both males out of the breadboard 6. These two are now connected to the switch following this scheme (Fig. 2 + 3) 7. You can connect them with tape for now to test if it works! 8. The switch now has to be put into the button –it should slide in or something like that and sits behind the LED that we do not use (Fig. 4) 9. Test if it works! If yes, HURRRRAAY! If no, forget about our brillant new button, we will make it work in January and use it at the next event!

The Cocktail Generator as part of Special Issue #16
Reflection Diary
1. What did you like about the process of creating the Special issue 16?
- getting to know all of you
- the high energy level and dynamic in the group
- the excitement of diving into something completely new (especially with coding and collective working)
- coding
- collective working
2. What would you like to keep in the process for the next special issue?
- the high energy level and dynamic in the group
- being curious and adventurous
3. What did you not like about the whole journey?
- serious moments of frustration – sorry to everyone!
- that the technical part of the special issue 16 couldnt be equally distributed (because we aimed too high?)
- that we got carried away in the project-subgroups and lost the view for the whole picture
4. What would you like to do differently for Special Issue 17? Feel free to elaborate in more specifics. when we started to work on the special issue 16 i thought there could be two ways to approach it:
- work on ONE in-depth project with the whole group
- work on small individual projects or experiments and bring them together in the special issue
i think we ended up doing something inbetween: three projects that are too small on their own and too big and complex to bring them together as the special issue 16. i mean – it works, but its quite messy, not consistent and doesnt carry a clear message. i feel a bit sad about it and would love to try option 1 or 2 next time! it would also mean to take responsibility for the content and the audience!
5. Share a memorable moment during the last 2.5 months :)
there is a whole collection:
- meeting the class (most of them) at the central station for the firt time <3
- the day i coded the book generator, it was the first time i realised that coding can be useful and connected to my research
- the workshop series at Roodkapje – first time being introduced to an Arduino
- THE LONG DAY WITH CHRISTINA, it was a milestone
- the day Michael and Manetta introduced the flask application, i was super excited and frustrated at the same time
- many coding moments with kamo – thanks!!!
- everyones support when i needed to leave Rotterdam in the last week of the project – it wasnt easy to go and all your messages were amazing and helped me a lot!
6. What was the most challenging thing while working in the big group; and in the sub-groups?
- to be on the same page (this refers to decision-making but also communication in general)
- i think that we got carried away in the project-subgroups
7. What did you learn during the Prototyping classes (Michael & Manetta)? What will you keep from them?
EVERYTHING!!!!!
8. What did you learn during the Special issue classes (Cristina & Steve)? What will you keep from them?
- how to annotate as a group
- how to have check-in moments
- methods for collective decision-making
9. How would you describe your overall experience of doing this special issue?
on the surface: AMAZING
below that: mixed feelings of "maybe we could or should have done it differently?"
10. How will you use what you have learned this trimester in your personal practice?
- i will continue my coding journey and try to find more overlaps with my graphic-design and book-design practice
- i will experiment with my arduino and the raspberry pi i got for christmas!
11. Anything else you would like to share with the group
<3
