- What do you WANT to write? [What will the text be about? (thesis). What do you want to explore? Be clear about HOW you want to tell your story.]
- Outline three key issues you want to explore. (Please think of only 3 key issues)
I aim to write a text that is concise, yet playful in its form. It will be about the role of meta data [1] [2] in (post) digital publishing practices. I will explore historical developments in the production of text by looking at early forms of markup such as marginalia and the pecia system, look different digital characteristics for instance source code comments or protocols and will finally propose version control software for (collaborative, experimental) writing and making public. The meta data of the present text is a crucial part of the text and the process of writing itself.
- hiddeness (veiled, closed source, seamless) in present day technology/ interfaces
- invisible labor (of writing, rendering, reading?)
- how do we publish together but apart from platforms and bloated applications?
