(How) Will I survive this space?

Where is the air here?

(How) Can I belong without submitting to harm?

What is this project now? And now? And now?

How does following the initial impulse impact the energy of the impulse?

How does the conversation around planning impact the project? The energy of the impulse?

How does each thing we make participate in the conversation?

Of the 20 quotes we selected, which one should we make around first?

Will anyone notice? If so: who will this attract? Who will this repel?

What can we make with stuff we already have?

What happens if we use stuff we already have in ways that weren't necessarily intended?

What are some ways we can make this a thing without making the intervention a commodity?

Connor gave us the idea of screening parties. Could we do them? Would people attend? 

Connor suggested ways to use social media in order to generate interest in the experience? Is it possible to inhabit those spaces while resisting capitalist logics?

How could we distribute and hybridize that experience of collective making?

Now that this project has somewhat locked itself into a kind of form - we know we have these hoodies, we know we have these cards...how does the project form impact momentum and motivation for sustaining the project?

How will we know when we are acting in collaboration with impulse, and when we are extracting from it?

Collaborative screen printing: What emerges when we print on each other's work? What emerges when plates and inks and paper go back and forth so much that you can no longer discern where one person's work ends and another person's work begins?

Wait. Have we chosen the right quote for the moment?

As we are extending beyond our initial group of folks, folks that we know their axiological commitments, we don't necessarily know what sorts of investments  they have or what their deisres are for engagement. So then I'm unsure how to proceed in terms of how to offer these objects, both business cards and hoodies, and what level of instruction and intention I deliver with them.

They (the deliveries) are all very different because they were delivered in different ways and different contexts and specific to the person who did the delivery -- all specific to the person who delivered it. Does it matter how these objects are delivered (both in terms of form: paper bag, prepackaged mailing box and the interpersonal how: for example, notes made and folded by hand)? CH: I'm learning the extend to which form matters a lot to me -- both in terms of materials and interrelations.

The project wasn't formed in a way where you print off five sets of instructions and cut and paste. This is personal and personalized. Not about who wants the hoodie, but who might need it or find some <relief?>

We don't want to waste cards or burden them with the effort of distributing them. So we have questions related to process and relational form. 

This is going to be our first hoodie that involves a workshop setting, what sorts of venues could support the workshop? Should we try SNAP and A/P?

How do we hold private conversations in those very public spaces? What about rental fees?

What about trying second hand pasta rollers?

What about the open press project?

What does the width limitation on the pasta machine do to the way we think about these prints?

Should we be putting this web address on these hoodies?

Lino with cornstarch proofing is emerging as the most possible in terms of hybrind participation.
