Dear Reader

article.media

Description

Dear reader It is a letter and a micro web application made in Flask to gather questions. It was written in collaboration with Maria Paris under attempt’s umbrella. It is inspired by the performance World Question Center made by James Lee Byars in 1969. The first intention of this app was to feed the “Rumination Sessions” of the living glossary project where questions are cards that initiate reflection. Currently, this letter is a living publication that slowly gathers questions from practitioners and readers.

In the back-end it uses Flask, a lightweight web application framework that uses python language and Jinja templates for processing and rendering the webpage. It stores information in a JSON file. Due to its light weight, It can be run on any server. This one is running on my home server.

Living Glossary Environment Tool

article.media

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.
