Projects that may or may not be made!

Clunky Crappy Chaotic App

What is it?

Clunky Crappy Chaotic App is a service that does not provide a service. It does not improve your life but perhaps deteriorate it.

Why make it?

Why does all apps have to be useful?

Within the app environment, slightest inconvenience feels so much more frustrating. And why does everything have to be seamless and user friendly? Every app looks the same and it feels sterile. Where is the joy of taking time to figure things out? I think there is something we learn from clunky and chaotic experience.

Workflow

List up annoying functions or useless services
Design it as fancy as possible, add unnecessary details that hinders readability
Code the app add as much as interaction as possible, make it uncomfortable
Upload it to server
Share it to others with a hooking message

Timetable


Date	Task
Day 1	Research and ideation on clunky crappy chaotic services/functions
Day 2	Just start making it directly on a code editor no need to design
Day 3	Make it as fancy/dirty/heavy as possible
Day 4	Fix bugs (but don't work too hard on it)
Day 5	Come up with a hooking message to increase engagement
Day 6	Share it! and ignore their feedbacks/reviews

Rapid prototypes (scratches)

What are the html/css functions that I've never used before?
Make a loud visual language
Do not care about readability

Previous practice

Ascend a Website: In order to navigate through this website you have to scroll up instead of scroll down. This project challenges the expected actions we take within digital environments.

Relation to a wider context

What is behind the seamless interface of app services we use everyday?
Convenience is built on the sacrifice of (invisible) workers.
Why do we take convenience, usefulness for granted on digital environments?
We tend to fantasizing high tech, what are the infrastructures and costs behind it and what are we losing in this process?

Crumbles of Reflection

What is it?

Crumbles of reflection is a website where you can create a illustration with stickers. Each sticker is a drawing that represents/reflects on keywords(e.g. curiosity, serenity, resilience, anxiety, hesitation, emptiness) that can express your inner states. You select a keyword or shape you like and make a drawing or a meaning.

Why make it?

Drawing something is a way of letting things out. But often times, it is difficult to start drawing. You are blocked, thinking about what to draw. Crumbles of Reflection already has a set of drawings which you can already start with. Don't overthink and just start making something. Maybe it can be like decorating your journal. It is scary draw something on your diary but it is easy to just stick something on there.

Workflow

Research and write a project description
List up keywords, ask people around you if they have any keywords they are thinking about themselves.
Draw a shape thinking about the keywords and scan them.
Make a website using canvas API add functions such as rotate, resize, delete and download
Connect to flask application where you can save the drawings
Upload it to a server
Test it out

Timetable


Date	Task
Day 1	Research references and collect information about journaling
Day 2	Write about the project and draw sketches of ideas
Day 3-4	List up keywords and start drawing
Day 5	Scan the drawings and refine them, maybe draw some more
Day 6	Development: Search examples, codes using canvas API make a structure for the website
Day 7	Add functions and drawings make the website work
Day 8	Style the website and fix bugs
Day 9	Upload the website to the server and test if it's working
Day 10	Share!
Day 17	Write a reflection on the project and list up improvements

Rapid prototypes (scratches)

How would the composed drawings look like? Would it make sense? Would it be beautiful(does it have to be)?

Figuring out canvas API, check if I can add the functions I want
How to make a gallery (having a server, figuring out flask)

Previous practice

Tangled Thoughts: whenever youjung overthinks, she draws tangled shapes.

Ascend a website: stacking stones using canvas API

Relation to a wider context

How can I connect my pencil/analog drawing practices with what I'm doing at XPUB?
How can I make my personal drawings more collective and interactive?
How can we make drawing more easy?
How can we lower the boundary of creating something? (relating my personal struggles on overthinking on what to draw)

I like

What is it?

Images of the things(plants, signs, objects) I like in the street

Why make it?

Looking at the city(Rotterdam) from a micro perspectives. Noticing small details and connect/expand them to a wider context.

Workflow

Make a flask app
Gather images together with friends
Categorize the images(plants, doors, signage, garbage, cars etc)
Find patterns and insights
Make it into a zine

Timetable


Day	Task
Day 1	Make a cute website
Day 2	Upload to server
Day 3	Ask friends to add images
Day ...	Gathering
Day N	Find insight and think of way to how to further develop it

Rapid prototypes (Scratches)

Image gallery(?)
check box categorizing / how to sort the images

Previous practice

PLACES I WOULD NORMALLY NOT VISIT IN ROTTERDAM

Relation to a wider context

I want to make something cute and beautiful, even though it is trivial
Maybe it might change the way I look at the city

The search bar have it's own way 제멋대로 검색창

What is it?

A manipulative input field that spits arbitrary answers insisting this is what I want.

Why make it?

Thinking about how our inputs are interpreted according to the phrases we use. How it detects emotions and mirrors the way we talk. The more input field, the more information we are giving away to interpret us.

Workflow

Timetable

Rapid prototypes (Scratches)

search bar(input field) - you type something in there

polished answer field - gives you an answer

interface of the backroom - shows how it breaks down your answers and interpret them in a terminal interface

(can I make this?!)

Previous practice

ELIZA?!

Relation to a wider context

How much information are we giving away in one search, or one conversation with LLMs?

How are the collected data fed back to the cycle? Are these inputs shared/sold to third party interests?

How do they predict us and are we falling in their prediction?

How are the AI companies earning money? What is their business model? They aren't earning money solely from subscription fees.
