Diffraction Game

Card , Game

Description

Looking to expand the possibilities of “connecting” as part of the Living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice, I created a role-like game that would reflect and expand the glossary itself by proposing different approaches to it.

The different characters would perform for different perspectives on the connections among:

The liminal, the weaver, the summoner, the otherness, the inner space.

Living Glossary

Website , Card

Description

Living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice is an ongoing and ever-changing attempt to introduce a diffractive methodology inside publishing practices, understanding publishing as the mere act of making public. It is organized as a container of words that are never fully defined, only annotated. Words become tools, concepts, resources, and shapes with properties that enhance new possibilities. In this glossary, they don’t close the publishing scenario to territory arts or design. Instead, they are porous and permeable to other spheres of action.

The glossary is seen as mutable, and the current state results from collective workshops where participants are invited to think and converse around its words and annotations. During the workshop, diffraction performs a conscious interconnection of practices beyond reflection.

From the technical side there is source pad were all annotations take place in a markdown format which is processed by a Python script that writes it as a website using Pandoc and then Js.

Living Glossary Environment Tool

Website

Description

The living glossary environment tool is a web app tool to make living glossaries from a text file or a Pad (with API KEY). It allows the creation of a static website that uses the idea of a glossary as a layering of annotations rather than a closed list of words and definitions.

On the website you can make a selection of different options regarding the glossary environment you would like to make and it generates a zip file with all the necessary tools to make a living glossary.

This project was developed in parallel with the living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice. In this case, the tool is an attempt to share processes with others.

Earth Rise

Description

Text taken from Louisa’s Website

EARTHRISE × Zhouwéi Network is a location-based game I co-created and produced as part of my residency at Roodkapje in 2021. As an extension of my research into geocaching as a game tool, I set up a collaboration between MaMA and Roodkapje, inviting the research duo Liminal Vision to co-imagine this hybrid format in relation to their work Zhouwéi Network. In this inspiring effort, we opened up portals in different locations in Rotterdam, where stories from characters of Zhouwéi Network could be found, iterating life in the future on the various locations based on three potential future societies. For this project, I imagined an alphabet in which symbols correspond to syllables, which can be read by players into code words, using an in-game dictionary. The alphabet was designed by Camilo Garcia Aycardi, based on the aesthetics of the three different societies of Zhouwéi Network.

No matter the nature of the thing, the possible jump between its particles creates its life.

Time for them always dilates, expands and become transparent. The appearance of the thing does not lie on its life meaning.

The jump is the indeterminate synthesis of the in-between: the invisible and subtle space of energy.

El Libro, la forma

Book , Installation , Poster

Description

“The Book. The Form” reflects on a fragment of the book Relational art of Nicolás Bourriaud where it is described the birth of form as Epicuro and Lucrecio did it.  The project proposes, as a book, the construction of the book itself and its existence as a primary conceptual and material process.

The final result is an artist’s book that takes shape during his own process of making. In a preliminary stage the project included a book binding workshop in which it would be born as a physical object, and it would spread to others by a sharing knowlege experience, but it couldn’t happen as I planned, so the edition of the book exists but I made it by my own. This project was exhibited at La Caja Galeria in Taller Trez, as a part of the exhibition Trez con Z during Artbo Weekend in Bogotá, Colombia.

The Book:

Atoms fall parallel in the vacuum slightly diagonal,

Falling, a fortuitous detour causes an encounter with the neighbor atom.

Encounters bring clash. And with clashes,

the birth of the world.

The Form:

The world persists in form of book.

Looking to expand the possibilities of “connecting” as part of the Living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice, I created a role-like game that would reflect and expand the glossary itself by proposing different approaches to it.

The different characters would perform for different perspectives on the connections among:

The liminal, the weaver, the summoner, the otherness, the inner space.

Description

Living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice is an ongoing and ever-changing attempt to introduce a diffractive methodology inside publishing practices, understanding publishing as the mere act of making public. It is organized as a container of words that are never fully defined, only annotated. Words become tools, concepts, resources, and shapes with properties that enhance new possibilities. In this glossary, they don’t close the publishing scenario to territory arts or design. Instead, they are porous and permeable to other spheres of action.

The glossary is seen as mutable, and the current state results from collective workshops where participants are invited to think and converse around its words and annotations. During the workshop, diffraction performs a conscious interconnection of practices beyond reflection.

From the technical side there is source pad were all annotations take place in a markdown format which is processed by a Python script that writes it as a website using Pandoc and then Js.

How can a publishing practice diffract?

Description

The living glossary environment tool is a web app tool to make living glossaries from a text file or a Pad (with API KEY). It allows the creation of a static website that uses the idea of a glossary as a layering of annotations rather than a closed list of words and definitions.

On the website you can make a selection of different options regarding the glossary environment you would like to make and it generates a zip file with all the necessary tools to make a living glossary.

This project was developed in parallel with the living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice. In this case, the tool is an attempt to share processes with others.

walkie talkie is a collective publication launched last July in Rotterdam for the grad show of experimental publishing. We, as the graphic design team, design a protocol/system to gather all the submissions from participants. We designed, printed and gave a small booklet that explains carefully the rules they needed to follow in order to write their text and easily adjust them in the overall design made by us.

EARTHRISE × Zhouwéi Network is a location-based game I co-created and produced as part of my residency at Roodkapje in 2021. As an extension of my research into geocaching as a game tool, I set up a collaboration between MaMA and Roodkapje, inviting the research duo Liminal Vision to co-imagine this hybrid format in relation to their work Zhouwéi Network. In this inspiring effort, we opened up portals in different locations in Rotterdam, where stories from characters of Zhouwéi Network could be found, iterating life in the future on the various locations based on three potential future societies. For this project, I imagined an alphabet in which symbols correspond to syllables, which can be read by players into code words, using an in-game dictionary. The alphabet was designed by Camilo Garcia Aycardi, based on the aesthetics of the three different societies of Zhouwéi Network.

No matter the nature of the thing, the possible jump between its particles creates its life.

Time for them always dilates, expands and become transparent. The appearance of the thing does not lie on its life meaning.

The jump is the indeterminate synthesis of the in-between: the invisible and subtle space of energy.

Glory desire was a collective project that, for a full month, aimed to activate the exhibition space El Chino Bogotano with a temporary installation and public activities that reflected on the idea of Glory.

We built a very typical waiting room in offices and health centers in Bogota with TV, coffee, a couple of showbiz magazines, a plant, dirty sofas and a not so clean floor.

“The Book. The Form” reflects on a fragment of the book Relational art of Nicolás Bourriaud where it is described the birth of form as Epicuro and Lucrecio did it.  The project proposes, as a book, the construction of the book itself and its existence as a primary conceptual and material process.

The final result is an artist’s book that takes shape during his own process of making. In a preliminary stage the project included a book binding workshop in which it would be born as a physical object, and it would spread to others by a sharing knowlege experience, but it couldn’t happen as I planned, so the edition of the book exists but I made it by my own. This project was exhibited at La Caja Galeria in Taller Trez, as a part of the exhibition Trez con Z during Artbo Weekend in Bogotá, Colombia.

The Book:

Atoms fall parallel in the vacuum slightly diagonal,

Falling, a fortuitous detour causes an encounter with the neighbor atom.

Encounters bring clash. And with clashes,

the birth of the world.

The Form:

The world persists in form of book.

Materials:

  • 12 p. 
  • 25 copies
