Contemporary artists using annotation.
Erasure series by [[bethany joy collins]]. A trace of language:
[[wendy red star]]'s [[medicine man]]:
[[laura owens]] created a series of emojis that could be downloaded by attendees:
Why do artists annotate?
Motivation. The enjoyment at the margins (or in the overlay?).
About Speculative Annotation.
Speculation references speculative fiction (fantasy, sci fi).
[[Speculation is a form of investigation]]:
Goals: [[direct conversation with primary sources]], [[share items in a context]]:
Demo:
Everything is saved in the browser. There's no server.
There is a [[speculative annotation mini collection]].
[[codex]] will like this one:
The project spanned 12 (!) divisions of the library.
User testing.
Then the talk went into amazing examples of annotation by students, which I won't reproduce here as they had written consent to show work by minors and I wouldn't want to breach anyone's consent.
No social support:
Except #AnnotateLOC (could be aggregated in the [[agora]]?).
The [[rosenwald manuscript]] annotated:
[[patsy mink]] manuscript annotations by [[liz novara]]:
Thanks:
Activity: we annotate [[the left hand of darkness]]. But first Q&A.
- [[q]] does the tool have a way to take their annotations with them?
-
[[q]] what if you had a button to save annotation .png files to the [[internet archive]]?
- (sounds great to me)
-
[[jaime mears]]
- would be great, is a matter of funding + time + working through the standards that the library of congress holds for [[pii]]
- the server really would host just a very lightweight json file essentially. the architecture is sound.
-
[[q]] how to get involved?
-
[[jaime mears]]
- they would love it if people got involved
- it's all in github
- reach out! https://labs.loc.gov
-
twitter: ?
- said https://twitter.com/LCLabs in chat but it doesn't look like it
-
[[jaime mears]]
