Why XPUB?

Before XPUB, I worked as a brand and visual designer for premium grocery delivery platform. It was one of the domains that I wanted to work for because I loved browsing through the feed of delicious foods. However, working in the company made me realize that behind the endless feed there are group of people constantly producing content. I was making a lot of things public but at the same time nothing, as they are repetitive and have less time for reflection.

I liked the idea of working on a domain making something interactive through the internet. Below are the things that I wanted to gain from XPUB:

Make interactive projects using code

Learn how to make things collectively
Gain critical perspectives towards technology

What did you make?

Cooking Spam Emails Website

Using the email from advertisement email ABN AMRO, split into phrases and randomized the letter to make a different context. Inspired by Nick Montfort's poetry this website runs the python code everytime to make a new output.

A story in a story in a story

Interactive narrative that lets you explore, gather and plot. Wander around in the virtual environment, pick up what you resonate with and that is what you take with you at the end of the day and becomes a tiny part of you.
