BOW A5: Research content and presentation

• I have a small handful of images that either need to be re-edited and/or made
• The next stage is to write the text insert
• And to approach a couple of printers for some advice (which I will do once I have done the first item and inserted them)
• The LB course has been invaluable especially as I learned about grids https://www.canva.com/learn/grid-design/ and https://www.creativebloq.com/web-design/grid-theory-41411345 (Wish I’d been more aware of this before – it’s fantastic and is so relevant to my own work in terms of the structural theory it encapsulates. That being so, I suspect the thing for me is to have a tight grid that echoes the graph paper as the content is sporadic and chaotic – rhizome-like. A strict grid will hold it more securely. The best way to do this is to export a Package for ID and start working from that as it will take all the images (currently in a bit of a chaotic organically grown collection of files menu  – BOW A3/A4)

I have also seen a plethora of articles and tweets emerge in the last few days and weeks that express the dangers of some of the implications I have been trying to get at. That’s not to say this work is just about this particular moment (this week) but rather an ongoing moment  – ‘the contemporary condition’ .

In relation, Ruth suggested the following:

I can’t sleep so here’s a story in 4 screenshots. We first learned of new ‘Joint Biosecurity Centre’ on Sun. On Tues, that 4 friends of Gove/Cummings appointed to key roles in Cabinet Office. Today we learn ‘Biosecurity’ = counterterror/health mash-up. Based in Cabinet Office https://t.co/HPwqo8i5Xr

There are also plenty of articles about machine/ai ethics which are useful to think about
