- ''We've heard it, we've all heard all about all the sticks spears and swords, the things to bash and poke and hit with, the long, hard things, but we have not heard about the thing to put things in, the container for the thing contained. That is a new story. That is news.''
«… des histoires qui se connectent comme une toile, chaque maille qui se créé vous conduit à la suivante, ou à une autre, selon la connivence des motifs. C'est ce que j'appellerais encore, en suivant Kathy King, écrire en 3 dimensions»

- The web/network form as a way of organizing & documenting
- Bots, puting human qualities in bot
- voice recording, cf post card → le casier

- What did we eat! - Bluecheese cake recipe -
Publication/documentation protocol brainstorm
- Alias' - psudonymes - usenames
- Collective / collaborative
- we need visualization!

Application
SPECULATIVE DESIGN
Residency in June 2018 in Namur
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a3NdVYDwHcaEbBsktXho2fW9Q2OQ4C0v/view
- deadline 4th of March, application to be sent to to Julian Volz (julian.volz@goethe.de)
- a residency with 5000€ to work on objects to make what we did the past two years more visible, tangible…
- play with their 3D printer, cutting plotter, milling machine with numerical control, laser cutter, wood working tools, etc!
application needs to include
- CV in French or English
- Personal statement in French or English
- Project outline with images and technical drawings, if possible in French or English.
- We also accept unfinished projects, which could use further funds in order to be completed, or finished projects, which could use further funds in order to be expanded upon. In the latter case, please outline how further funds will help your project.
- Budget planning in French or English
Strong points
- Open discussions / our format of working / as a collective and experience from former events.
- Quote from open call "Design fiction enables interactions and discussions about a possible future, that would otherwise not exist, or only to a small degree. It renders specific visions of the future tangible for participants in real life and allows for a fundamental discussion."
- Infiltrating an ecosystem
- Relation to digital practices
- Translating our experiences into form-
- Conversational objects
- The never neutral way of telling history - and how objects can hold multiple truths
- Example : Matrix collective, split up, could not agree on their history, but they were only able to present artefacts from the time as a collective.
- RoSa
Visuals
- meeting 28/02
Loraine:
- picture from bookfair: different tyoes if format meet (projection, books, objects...)
- formalise our work from wikipedia, materializing the collaborative editing process, making visible an ''invisible'' process
- formal interest example: projection on sand from Hito Steyerl
Sarah:
- also from our wikipedia work
- materializing the unbalance (ex. from the fact sheet), forms that are not standing in place, that are always coming back at the samre place
- several versions of a story, objects with different facets (ex dice)
- different layers
- illustrator Jacques Carelman: made a book in the seventies about unfindable objects, utopic objets, mixed objects, tools that are not really made to be used
- making physical tools, a toolbox to highlight the problems
- concrete objects
Mia:
- an illustration a day
- starting from the Wikipedia experience, link
- wikipedia as a thing, what does it means this collective writing? network
- take this material and sketch with it
- illustration
- hands with fingers weaved
- stretching of the elements
- parasitical plants
- language which work for platforms/networks as well as for forms: weaving, fabrics, patchwork, quilt
- the goddess is coming and she is pissed > illustration
- not witch hunt but doing the dishes > gloves
- gloves : material to use (remove)
- > from the image in erg: bag, collecting
- hands/gloves: physical hands that are on the table >
- note on how objects can hold many truth, transform and translate into objects can bring dissonance, multiple stories at the same time
- different objects: industrial gloves
Myriam
- hand for the body, hand our hands dirty
- internet is not dematerialized > “digital”
Loraine
- gloves you put on: inviting manipulation
- like the glasses you put on
