Drawings
At some point during this winter, I remembered that I had a pretty heavy drawing past. Which is also where the sticker making comes from, which I have done by hand mostly.
As with the XML stickers, drawing slowly started coming back into what I was doing at XPUB.

Some Other Space
Since the beginning of the second year I started curating events at Some Other Space with Emanuele
In the past months we've hosted exhibitions, performances, concerts, screenings and local events connected to the community of Rotterdam Charlois.
Out of these many events, the Sticker Trade Day was very well received, with many people joining and sharing their personally made stickers.
During that event we've met Jorick, a Graphic Designer who works in Rotterdam and has a print shop. After that occasion I've work towards linking him to the course and I hope that this could be the start of a good relationship, mostly considering that something like the stickers were ordered through flyer alarm, a german online service, while Jorick works locally. It is also nice to interact with people other than faceless platforms.

REASSEMBLE
Repurposing a manual
Dialoguing with official documentation
in progress
Hacking the disassemble and reassemble manual of the Chromebook DELL 11 3120 to talk about how to repair it from Google's poor design choices, that made this and many other models (the ones manifactured before 2021) "break" early, even if most of them work perfectly to this day (their hardware).
Re-using an manual (specifically the disassembly and reassembly one) of the Chromebook I've repaired and that I started to reuse after the Repurposing Chromebooks workshop, by remixing its contents and annotate it with the forms (notes, narration, journaling, play) of documentation that I have developed so far to enter a dialogue with an official document, by inserting information that is complementary to the service manual, but also being critical, retracing some context on these family of devices and the way they are designed, which prevents their reuse after they got labeled as "obsolete".
Pointin at a way onto how to disobey the software obsolescence designed into these devices, addressing the insane specificity that this repair requires, trying to accompany the reader through the process.
Inserting information coming from un-official official documentation.
The content of the manual will have a selection of the original manual, my annotations and drawings and some pages entirely from my side, including the method of repair of the Chromebook documentated by [mr.chromebox]
Playing seriously about repair, maintenance and reuse of the Chomebook I've started using since last year, and the impact that obsolescence brings.
Using documentation as a form maintenance and repair.
