<p>The formal qualities of annotations are defined by the tools used to make them, and also the cultural uses of these. Given a pen, most people will write, although it is also possible to draw or use it in other ways. With a keyboard it seems most appropriate to type. With a mouse, one can click on things, and select them.
</p><p>What happens when these are retained, transformed and isolated from the source?

<p>Retained digital annotations are rare in the wild, but I found one PDF of Jorge Luis Borges "The Garden of Forking Paths" that had underlinings and highlighted text. The interesting thing is that these change appearance slightly depending on the e-reader software used to display the text.

<p>Another text that came pre-annotated was Ursula K Le Guin's "The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction". For this, I placed scans in a vector graphics program and digitised pen marks. I also included the text that was annotated with circles, underlines and lines in the margins.

</p><p>Ursula K. Le Guin's short essay appears in a compilation called <i>Dancing at the Edge of the World</i>, which I've found impossible to find online through the usual pirate libraries such as Library Genesis, aaaaaarg.fail and Monoskop. Perhaps this points to a gender bias in what is perceived as knowledge (Le Guin was a woman wrote mostly science-fiction)? In lieu of not being able to find the compilation, I decided to print this book in a very small size (90x120mm) and retain the annotations from the PDF I found. I digitised them by making them into vectors, and printed the text and annotations in green. In this way I wanted to speculate on what would happen when a reader was confronted with annotations that seemed to be part of the source, not a para-text added after publication.
