Unfinished trajectories

This book was part of our installation in Casa da Música, 2007

Unfinished Trajectories (Graphic Instalation in Casa da Música, Porto)

Reflection based on visitors’ emotions and other viewpoints, suggested by the spaces of the Casa da Música. ⁄ The objective is to list, classify, contextualise, build relations and map the respective content.

Experiences represented in various forms that in turn generate a series of unfinished “scores” based on a wide array of details.

This project aims to question standard trajectories and propose new possibilities. New forms of discovering spaces thereby emerge, organised in alphabetical order, by scale, capacity or other criteria...

This is an unfinished project, delivering improbable and sometimes absurd itineraries.

When I began this blog, I had the idea that it would be an integral part of my critical and reflective technical practice. For the past three years, it has served admirably, providing an easy way to share ideas and code and putting me in touch with a wide range of colleagues and new friends. During that time I've tried to stay true to the promise of "hacks," even if I pushed the boundaries of both "digital" and "history". As my technical work has evolved, however, I've begun to feel like this blog is less and less suited to my day-to-day activities. Rather than try and force it to fit, I've decided to build something new.

I find that the model of hypertext has become the metaphor via which my thoughts, my research, finds form. I can't read one book at a time. Instead I skip between many, following an annotation in one, buying a bibiliographed reference, dipping into books by the same or similar authors in the bookstore, scribbling notes in one book about another. I make the world my internet; the library my world wide web.

The organizers of the World Wide Web conference recently announced the list of accepted papers for this year’s event. In the Social Networks and Web 2.0 track (chaired by Elisa Bertino and Lada Adamic) the following papers are listed (where the paper is available online, I’ve provided a link to the PDF):

I firmly and absolutely believe in choice for users and the creation of competitive markets and ecosystems. Users and providers should not be limited to a proprietary framework or any single source.

Commissioned by the advertising agency Nordpol Hamburg, I designed the origami models and consulted the stop motion as well as the computer animators of this world wide corporate movie that tells the story of the Japanese sports brand ASICS. The movie won a Grand Prix at the Eurobest, gold at the New York festival, gold at the London International Awards, silver at the Clio in Miami and two times bronze at ADC Germany.

The works shown here demonstrate once again Franke's wide-ranging interests, which include the use of random-number generators, image-processing, numerically-controlled machine tools, iterative techniques, fractals and even a series of experiments with music produced on the self-constructed wind instrument of colleague Bruno Spoerri.
