HOW IS THIS PUBLICATION MADE
i wanted this publication to have two main characteristics: modular and customisable. The modularity became important to me and my way of taking notes and making notebooks throughout time. Modularity allows reconnections, both physically both content wise. In this context, I decided to have the entire publication as a physical 'random-choice' to access the content.
I also inserted some empty pages in the publication, to let some space for thoughts or ideas, if they come while browsing through. The main reason though, is that i have been questioning when a notebook is not a notebook anymore. I knew this publication was going to be printed, but i hope that through this different considerations, for some this could still be defined as a notebook. The content comes all from my reflections and the notes I took, both on my laptop and on my notebooks. They were notes and now, after printing them out i wonder, are they still?
The publication is also printed on an a4 to avoid paper waste. it uses 5 different types of paper to help the user try out and feel different options already intrinsicly within the publication.
01.05.23 MAKE IT OPENABLE (apribile) WHY: because, in this way, the entire book can be taken apart and become a notebook, or just be taken apart and the rings can be used for something else and the prints can be moved around or used as cards, or attached on walls or anywhere. it opens a bit the concept of book and re-connect it to a printed notebook (a notebook that has inside printed parts that "helps" the user to create content or orientate in the space)
but it also gives the freedom to completely tear it apart- I like the idea that a book is something "stable" and in this way my work is more similar to a notebook i added notes on and leave space to others to contribute or make their own version of it.
