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.

Digesting Care

article.media

Description

The Digesting Care publication was developed for the EU Commission project Taking Care by Museum Volkenkunde in the Netherlands. It is a static website written by a Python script that takes the content written in markdown and makes it HTML using Pandoc. The website interface filters the content based on a question generated by a small set of parameters. These are defined by us digesting the concepts and unsolved topics of the conference. The website was developed by experimenting with the idea of resilient web design and web-to-print techniques. We printed an edition of 120 copies of 50 different publications.

Living Glossary

article.media

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

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.

Walkie Talkie Pub

article.media

Description

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.

Atata

article.media

Description

About the right to life. Atata is a website created for the project Wor(l)ds for the future, the special issue 13 of the course experimental publishing. It takes as its main axis Natalia Chavez Lopez’s essay on the word ATATA and proposes a visual intervention on the text with the interest of making its meaning of interdependence explicit.

Being Atata, the awareness of the relationship between beings as an act of reciprocity, the direct intervention on the text was made on the grammatical connectors to make evident the relation between words. For this, using the Python library NLTK, all conjunctions were changed by bidirectional arrows that visually emphasize the connection.

The intention was that the reader recognizes a visual linker and modifies their reading experience through the navigation of a text that needs to be discovered by clicking on the arrows.
