I’m feeling like I’m in a tough spot with thesis, not super enthused to develop it further and not sure exactly how to infuse newness into it. When I was configuring the last presentation, I was fresh off reading pre-history of the cloud and various…

This past week, I refined aspects of the narrative & the user journey. I almost feel kind of breathless trying to synthesize the readings I’ve done (thanks too Anna Greenspan and Afroditi Psarra), mainly Pre-history of the Cloud, Network Culture, Sparks to Signals, Atmospheres of…

This week, I met with two more people, Rudi and Afroditi Psarra, who I reached out to thanks to Despina’s reference. I reached out to Rudi because I was hoping to gain some insight on how to carry out some of the engineering aspects of…

From the midterm presentation, I learned that I need to focus on the presentation itself moving forward rather than content only. I need to slow down when presenting my ideas, especially since I’m much more acquainted with the material. People really enjoyed the thesis trailer,…

I’ve moved over to Notion to keep track of research, design, production. Documentation is still kept loosely on this google doc. Here is a link to the Notion production timeline.   The meat of it is in Design & Dev, which I’ve copied the notes…

WHAT IS YOUR THESIS QUESTION? How might an exploration of radio waves and radio communication through the framework of digital signal processing inform a different logic that underlies network infrastructure and its implications in our understanding of data? This question evolved from “How can I…

An environment saturated with hum. Surprise in the unfolding of sonic layers. Stepping into ‘unstream’ unmasks the invisible structures in the digital enterprise of predicting and satisfying our emotional needs when listening to music. The data shadows that follow when making choices to save or…

This past week, I finally made a so-far useful research database on Notion (mostly moving to this platform sorry MURAL but despite my thesis inquiry into data structures, I love lists). Most of the research I did this week through ACM was to see if…

For this first brainswarm to design an experiment, I decided to make one more focused on an alternative topology of networks through a kind of sonified AR. These were different routes I  could take in terms of defining a physical space, but decided to  make…
