"A rough structure could be to use 10 minutes revisiting the first year
SI25
Old Telephone Hack
During the first special issue Martina, Fred and I worked on Sassie the Telephone, which was a complaint hotline based on a rotary dial T65. We hacked it so that it can record, replay and store complaints of bureaucratic failures or hacks. For this project we had to learn a lot about the hardware which was one of the most fun parts. We also designed a small registration form to create an official feeling space that surrounds the telephone.SI26
<q>uilting<br> With Martina, we followed the guidance of Dorianne to look into similarities and differences of quilting as a culture and how does repurposing inherited materials can translate into a digital form. We read and wrote about all things dead and dear, what we get to keep and what we have to get rid of, what remains dead online, what is our actual reach, borders and borderlessness of the web,SI27
Apollo's Mouthpiece
For SI27, I looked into repurposing old Telefoonkaarts and Telemix I got(they lent them to me) from the Telecom Museum. It was a rough process and I didn't know what I exactly wanted. I experimented with reading the cards, re-contextualising the cards, remaking the cards, etc.
and then 10 minutes to present the proposal and the thesis outline. In revisiting the first year, make a selection of a particular moment or an outcome from each special issue that you find relevant to your proposed project -- maybe a moment when a key question arose, or that gave you insight about something you now want to develop further. You are also welcome to show examples from work outside of the Special Issues if you find them relevant.
The central focus of this assessment is the project proposal. Your thesis outline is an important supporting document that also serves the assessment criteria (see below)."
