Meeting notes:
Archiving

To talk about:
- Each of us needs to have a clear answer on which way of working works best for them.
- What is archiving? Each of us needs to find a definition for this so that we can find a combination of collaboration aspects that work for each of us, makes it interesting.

After this:
- How do we want the hot glue to look? eg. Which set up, a large space? Or more categorised in pages, which pages, etc.
- The video: what do we want with that.

The video:
- What the fuck are we gonna doooo?
-




What I want:
1. What if we incorporate our topic (language and communication) in the way we visualize our archive. So play with intuitive text? playful use of making something understanding. Maybe play with recordings? Possible with Hotglue!
2. The hot glue to be divided in different pages, but it doesn’t have to be clearly understandable.
3. I like the idea of making a non-lineair archive.

4. I think we basically have to make our own database on our subject. Now in this case, we have an interesting subject. Because an archive is a source of knowledge meant to be used and looked at by others. For that to work, an archive needs to function communicatively. It needs to be understandable, reachable, speak a universal language. I think this gives us an interesting angle, what if we play with understanding and communication as our ‘structure’. An archive consists of two things, its skeleton and its body of knowledge. The skeleton functions as the language that communicates the body to the users. We can play because our body revolves around language and communications. ye.

5. I want to work with text. Writing. Sounds. Spoken words. Maybe even poetry?

ideas:

- Lia Perjovschi: knowledge museum.

NOTES MEETING:

Common ground:
Meintje: language can be very male biased. Can be very sexist. How language can be very biased.
Molly: how poetry isn’t perceived as being masculine.

Can you invent a language?

Language can connect but also disconnect.

The way language can be biased, and dissolve and create boundaries/exclude or include communities.

-dyslexia
-signlanguage
-braille
-v

If you think of archiving:

Ask teachers: what kind of space is available?

Change of perspective —? Coloured glasses and printed in different colours so you see different areas of the archive.


So the archive:
Would be a network of examples

6 topics:
- [ ] Dyslexia (Ruth)
- [ ] Educationial sentences (male/female) (Meintje)
- [ ] page organisation? (Music) (Molly)
- [ ] Braille (Molly)
- [ ] Dutch part about ‘male biasedness’ (Meintje)
- [ ] International art English (ruth)



TODO:
- Ask about braille
- Research topics
