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

  • Lee Felsenstein & Community Memory

  • The Mother of All Demos

  • The Software Arts

  • The Democratic Surround: Multimedia and American Liberalism from World War II to the Psychedelic Sixties (2013)

  • From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network and the Rise of Digital Utopianism (2006)

  • Radical Software

  • Videobase and Jean Rouch (especially Chronique d'un été) and the video to create community are example of rituals informed by technology? ????

  • The three SI as case studies. Try to formulate them in terms of critical tooling - community software - site specific software

  • Eventual Consistency, the case of Y.js and Joseph Gentle

  • 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 persons 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

  • On misconvenience - Silvio Lorusso @workshoppino xpub

Piet ?

  • 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)
