			====Decision making====
	The making of a special issue is a collective effort, a fundamental aspect of such practices is decision making. Special Issue 23 offered a different pace and rhythm than SI22. Whilst SI22's high tempo benefited from the rapid deployment of protocols, SI23 allowed for more mindful cautious decision-making processes. In the beginning of the Trimester we had a work-shop concerning "non-violent communication", which concerns how to solve conflicts effectively. Useful things we focused on during this workshop was how to voice ones needs, and how to be an active listener. When working in groups compromises are inevitable, compromises can hurt if it involves letting go of an idea you have grown attached to. <br><br>		The making of a special issue is a collective effort, a fundamental aspect of such practices is decision making.

	Another focus during this trimester was different ways to make decisions like majority vote, or consensus. As we learned making consensus in a group of 15 could be demanding, as not everyone would be present at all times, leading to more stretched out decisions, stretching over multiple days to ensure everyone was aware of the proposed idea.

	In my personal experience this kind of work is very time and energy-consuming, and has been a big part of the SI23. making something alone is one thing, making something together is something else. This kind of work is not easily documented, but for me has been one of the bigger learning-experiences this trimester. Like any skill knowing how to voice your concerns, or how to formulate and propose a suggestion, requires practice. And all the hours spent in the aquarium conversing with fellow students have been amongst the most demanding and rewarding tasks of this SI.

			====Mapping & prototypes====
			Working with a special issue often means coming together to formulate an idea/concept/method, then we diverge and make our own takes on this idea/concept/method, and then coming back together again. During these iterative processes it is important to make sure that a common-ground exist, to ensure continuity and cohesiveness. Good tools for this are making prototypes and mappings. These can be created individually or together with others, and allow for collective imagining.
			====Making groups====
			Another way to facilitate for collaboration this SI was the creation of smaller more manageable groups. we had the editorial teams where we freely could explore the thematics and methodologies. The production teams which were concerned with the web-quilt and event as a whole, ensuring that all the different components were cared for. And we had the content-teams which were concerned with the different projects showcased at the event. This structure allowed us to work in different constellations with different people, and new perspectives are usually a good things. At the same time it allowed us to have different focuses at different times, ensuring a wholistic approach to the matters at hand. <br><br>
			It is important to stress that even though we split into different groups, nothing at xpub happens in a vacuum. All ongoing processes inform each other in their proximity in space and mind.

			how did we get here? invites you to interact with a website that takes you on a journey through the streets of our city, and welcomes you to our reimagined data center. Aiming for seamfulness by revealing and sharing processes, (re)sources, and tools.

			In this web journey you navigate text and image that explores often unseen infrastructures. As an important aspect of this project was working with materiality of "post-"digital infrastructures, this is also reflected in the formatting of the website, as it embraces "minimally"-styled, letting the hyopertext be the star.
			The accesstoken can also be understood as a part of this web journey as the web and the print are in dialogue, this way we stress the fact that there is no clear boundries of what is digitial and what is not.
