Session One

What have you been making?

sheep rider

  • Site specific software

  • Developing custom tools in order to approach different needs

  • Or materialize specific ideas to gain good grip on them.

  • Different tools call different grips call different workflows call different outcomes

  • Code as a shared practice: from coding alone to coding together

  • Interaction between code and the community that surrounds it, how do they shape each other

  • Coding as care, not control

  • Writing code: balancing between accessibility, susteinability, flexibility.

  • Writing after code: how to document and render works accessible, how to partecipate to the public discourse and create communities, how to mantain a project and how to let it go

What do you want to do next?

trolley problem

  • Dig more into the difference between:

  • coding for oneself (sleep talking),

  • coding for others (yelling),

  • and coding with others (singing)

  • Formalize a methodology for coding as care

  • that could be applied to different projects: from personal ones to collective to commercial.

  • This could be done by intercepting different ongoing projects (from my artistic practice to freelance works and everything in between) and use them as case studies. Since they involve different kind of public they could provide different insights.

  • The idea of the methodology is because of the very nature of Site Specific Software: every context is different, and instead of generalizing one solution for all it would be better to understand some principles to deal with each situation.
