This is a list of things that could sprout slowly toward the next year. For the bachelor I struggled a lot to choose a specific topic: deciding on something is really difficult when everything is so entangled. To approach next year in a different way maybe could be helpful to keep track of some ideas and try to understand why they trigger me.
BTW at the moment it's just a list of things that come to mind while playing basketball.
How to deal with complexity
- complex systems and ways to access complexity.
- different form of intelligence: the word, the body, the emotion.
- how do these different kinds of making sense of the world inhabit complexity?
- relations between complex systems and their context
- tools to access complexity, tools to interface complexity
- coding as a form of care instead of control
Tools to access, make meaning and gain agency over complexity
-
critical tooling
-
community software
-
Site specific software
-
software for trigger dynamics in communities
-
Creating rituals/dynamics within a specific topic
-
Systems that helps make meaning together
-
How system and software are offered, introduced and presented to a community
-
How to model software and tool around and within specific contexts
Community software
-

How tools and communities shape each other
Tool to think with
-
"The crisis can be solved only if we learn to invert the present deep structure of tools; if we give people tools that guarantee their right to work with high, independent efficiency, thus simultaneously eliminating the need for either slaves or masters and enhancing each person’s range of freedom. People need new tool to work with rather than tools that “work" for them." Industrialization and Conviviality (Ivan Illich)
-
Tool to work with / tool to think with
-
The Piet ? What's the difference between sharing the tools developed in the context of xpub (si16, si17, xbranch, soup aggregator, karaoke, aggregator, wiki api etc) & propose a collab tailored on the need of the piet ? (both things can cohexist)
Documentation as a surface
- How tools are offered to a community through documentation
- Dig more into this idea of offering - what does it mean?
- Documentation as an interface to complexity ? A way to navigate the unwkown
- The documentation system
- Soft software
- Ways of sharing knowledge
- Documentation as a platform?
- What should be fixed and what should be flexible in a documentation ?
- How to take care of a documentation system ?
- Possible topic of research for applying to the server residency at avantwhatever.net/
- Knowledge system vs screening of dataset - Ron Morrison - Decoding space: Liquid infrastructures
- Ron Morrison - Gap between the digits
Community Software reprise
El rumiante apuesta por un ejercicio de **invención política** que es colectivo, siempre. Procura darse, para sí y su comunidad, herramientas, y entiende que estas herramientas no son algo a lo que se llega, sino que están en constante construcción.- Epistemologia Rumiante, from Camilo & Maria 's workshop
