What do you want to make?
I want to work on HCI and weave a discourse on the existential state of consciousness triggered by digital technologies (digital existentialism?) that will lead to the construction of a world (of thoughts).
The hardware, through a maze of layers of language, produces a proto-subjectivity in the software, and in the same way, the body produces a complete subjectivity (consciousness) in the mind. This isomorphic relation permits to transfer parts of our mind in the software environment, in particular, the illusion? of infinite space inhabited by dynamic and interactive objects that we can observe and play with.
[In this perspective the DE represent the organizational structure of our mind (how we could organize thoughts, memories, etc..) while on an upper level the GUI is the way in which our cognitive structure perceive reality in the space/form of vision.]
If before the digital age our mind was limited to a static relation to the external reality, with software our mind reaches a new level of expansion in the outside world, an expansion that through the ubicomp will reach the 'everyware'.
In my graduation project, I want to create the consciousness of this digital existentialism and develope some tools, possibly unified in an environment, where to experiment and play with the mind outside of us.
How do you plan to make it?

close reading of relevant texts and network of thoughts between them / mapping concepts + commentaries
write texts to define this digital existentialism and my specifics interests in it (critique of AI / iperself / software studies / ...)
experiments with UI (CLI, GUI, ZUI])
experiments with capture human communication (also facial recognition ..) then mapped to move something else always in a multisensorial stimulation approach (mapping movements, sounds, buttons, facial recognition etc..) + (arduino or raspberry pi )
experiments with how machines are being developed to recognize (words, emotions ...)
...

What is your timetable?
Why do you want to make it?
Who can help you and how?
Relation to previous practice

the dot - in particular on the concept of space
wittgenstein's tractatus - in particular linguistic games and logiacl strucutres
a map within a text (SI8) - experiment with ZUI and mapping thoughts
thoughts on the book's condition in the digital age (SI9) - 'living text' and 'in-timeness' of the book as extension of a static world of the mind into a dynamic and interactive one
