This is a book of suggestions. It contains a set of inscriptions that map the journeys and lines of flight of different people who have been working collaboratively in media labs for over thirty-two months. It embodies their process of work, experimentation, inventiveness and play.
It is a register of notes, annals, journals, manuals, annotations, commentaries, conversations, suggestions, reflections, indexes and scrap books. It is a map of different projects undertaken, without defining final destinations. Instead it offers suggestions for alternative routes, and considerations on the possibilities that might lie in roads ‘not yet taken’.
It details everyday practical experiences, while creating something new in the process. It is an invitation to inscribe, and so to participate in this process of creating.
