<User Sentimental eXperience- Issue4. It’s like I’m driving on an endless highway.>

Hello all, hope you had a nice summer. My skin is still a bit tanned, but now I can sense that the air is cooled down.

Today I want to present the 4th issue of User Sentimental eXperience :-)

In the new issue I wanted to question about scrolling down, which is one of the most common user mechanisms.

Today most of the contents on the digital interface are super linearly laid. I can just scroll down to see things and it seems so easy. But then I often feel I lose myself while repeating the same finger movements. I mean, I don’t have that many choices. A scrolling bar at the right side implies that I must lead myself to the down side. It doesn't really ask me what and how I wanna do though. It rather says I must do it.

I often think it's like I’m driving on an endless highway. It doesn’t have obstacles but weirdly I’m getting oblivious of things.

This way of navigation is so-called ‘intuitively’ designed, but then I'm not sure if this considers our diverse intuitions and choices enough.

I’d be glad if you let me know what you think :)

Any feedback/critique is welcome. Thank you very much and have a great day.

If only we could just do a project without technological purist elitism in the comments.

✨ Was ist MACH'S AUF? ✨

Ein Projekt, das seit Januar 2022 am Start ist und nutzen das @metalab als Prototypen, um Hackspace bzw. Zugang zu Technik für gehörlose Menschen zu ermöglichen.

✨ Was können wir an Content hier erwarten? ✨

Wie auf unserer Website https://machs-auf.at & auf https://www.instagram.com/machs_auf/ berichten wir regelmäßig (mehr oder weniger lol) von den Fortschritten oder sonstigen spannenden Dingen, die im Laufe des Projektes passieren. Hier also nun auch. :D

Fast schon ein halbes Jahr ist es her: mit dem 62. Netzpolitischen Abend @netzpat hat @lavolsky im @metalab einen Kurzvortrag über MACH'S AUF! und zusätzlich Erfahrungsbericht über die Barrieren aufgrund der #Gehörlosigkeit im österreichischen Bildungssystem.

Ganz neugierig hat @stoni den Vortrag besucht & seitdem ist er ein absolut wichtiger Teil des Projektes geworden. Das hat gezeigt: Sichtbarkeit ist wichtig.

Last week I and Chaeyoung Kim introduced a collaborative (binding) workshop 'Chatty, Messy, Sticky, Tsss...'. in Habitat, a cultural platform based in Tredozio (IT).
https://habitattt.it/wiki/

We've been often questioning what publishing really means. How can we tackle the borderline between a creator and readers? If a publication only has a tiny range of audiences, is it still publishing? How shall we call what we make...? A book? A zine?..?

The workshop was composed of two sections.
Part1 ) A collective (book) binding section: Participants makes their own page, then relay bind them together. In the end, everyone labels the outcome, whatever they wanna call it.

Part2) Cooking Buchimgae (Korean pancake) in groups: Bring different ingredients and glue them together into a pancake.

The physical outcomes were a cute and thick book-thingy and pancakes. But we knew that we were already publishing in the moments of chatting, smiling, and messing things around in the all process.

Ciaooooooo Habitat!

New experimental app from me:
CSS Paint - paint with brushes defined in CSS. I've had a lot of fun with it so far and I'm pretty sure I've only scratched the surface of combos you can put together. Try it at https://css-paint.constraint.systems

Das Werk #Schaumschlaeger gehört zu den eindrücklichsten Werken der modernen politischen Kunst, aufgeladen von Symbolik, die sich dem Betrachter erst allmählich erschließt. Da steht nun also dieser Mann mittleren Alters und beobachtet betreten, wie der Schaum - ein Gemisch (1/3)

How to Respect Yourself

How to set up a system (in a capitalistic organized world), that honors people, how invested their resources into common infrastructure, with a sort of refund of resources, without enabling commodification of such infrastructure or the work of maintaining it?

Examples of such investments are maintaining #FLOSS or operating #fediverse instances.
