My previous practice consists in repurposing of old tech devices, media archeology and coding.

"3DS zine" A web game publication tailored to be played with a forgotten device of our past, the Nintendo 3DS game console. We (Charlie, Tessa, Eleni and I) took advantage of outdated web-standards to show/hide information from other devices, making our puzzle game solvable only through the use of the Nintendo 3DS. It was a project about working withing the limits and showing the possibilities that lie within them. Trought trial and error we noted a collection of strategies we used to make our project work. In the final outcome this part got a bit lost and I think the documentation and distribution of these tactics remained an unresolved topic for me, so I see the cheatsheets as a potential method to address both topics.

OPEN QUESTIONS

Overall, I see the cheatsheets as being an evolution/annex of my previous works, into a direction of documenting and distributing the processes that lie behind these and all of my projects. Most of these started as something that was not clear and that required observation to learn how to make possible, I feel like this method is something that is not tied to a medium in particular and that my aim of sharing mine is to also shine light on how might recognize their inner way of learning and listen to it by trying to bring it out.
