Question Drafts

1

what to investigate?

Permatext

what to find out?

what could permatext be in the context of permacomputing and digital text?

possibility for permatext as a term (concept) for digital paratext

what tickles curiosity?

drawn to relational, situated approach to computing (from permacomputing) and see parallels to text

I like thinking about text, intertextuality, materiality of digital text

what to contribute to conversation?

permacomputing approaches spreading out in local communities

in Paris at Pre Post Print we discussed different perma - practices like permaprint

permatext could contribute a more detail approach, looking up close at something inscribed into permacomputing but also print, make (more) bridges/ relations between

permatext as a method for understanding interrelatedness of digital text?

2

what to investigate?

act / gesture of opening (digital) technology up

what to find out?

what implications come with acts of 'opening things up?' (extraction, intimacy, root...)

what do we use for opening up? (which tools)

what tickles curiosity?

intimacy of those moments

seeing how something is made, process (+ materials)

also tells about embeddedness/ relation/ evnironment of things

what to contribute to conversation?

open or closed are seen as binary in technology (open source, sth is readable, high level or low level language) striving for ambiguity

can there be relations made between findings opening up of software, web and hardware?

What does (digital) technology tell us about itself when we open it up?
