These choices affect how we read, receive the message and value it. Although the possibilities of professional printing and finishing techniques are getting more accessible due to technological development, they are often limited in customization and design options as they are marketed as practical solutions for the office environment.
In order to get a good overview of the archival material, when we first encountered it, we divided the documents, skimmed them and created a <ahref="#polytpych">polyptych summary</a> that also served as a basis for a collective discussion. Beforehand, we had <ahref="#readingexercises">trained our understanding of text</a> in order to be able to process the material effectively.

Skim the material and intuitively look for subjectively interesting details that seem meaningful to you or stand out for any reason. In order to create the Polyptych, collect a set number of these details, approximately 30. Each detail should be enlarged to fill an A4 page. Afterwards, print out your personal collection, arrange it on the floor in an order that makes sense to you in whatever way. As everybody in the group does this, take time to to look at the formations(Polyptych) of each individual, let them explain their work, observations and methods behind the ordering system. Discuss it collectively.

Using the slow reading method we have read several texts as a group. We have collected annotations, additional information and imagery on an Etherpad. Afterwards, we have collectively revised the collected content, added a glossary, styled it with CSS - designed a cover and designed the overall appearance of it. We have converted it to a print layout using the <ahref="#ether2html">Ether2HTML</a> and <ahref="#web2print">Web2Print</a> methods. Afterwards, we have printed out this material as booklets, which we have named: SWARM 1, 2 & 3.

To develop an understanding of a complex topic, basic research - on/offline - is the first necessary step to take. Talking about the facts as a group and/or collectively reading texts on the topic can help in the process. If possible, the best way to develop a deeper understanding is to get in touch with experts and/or witnesses. In the best case, to conduct an interview or even organize a meeting as a group or a workshop on the topic. Also taking as many different points of view, even if you don’t agree with them, is an imperative to create a differentiated opinion on a complex matter.
What about the empowerment of the individual voice? Individuals do, after all, constitute the collective. <br>
There is no other way.
