VDS:

The project is called Virtual Design Studio, and is a collaboration between a Designer and (the) Internet. The designer is allowed to use pre-existing tools, and pre-formulated concepts in order to generate conceptual, speculative fictions, concerning the points of interaction between people and (the) Internet.

So far, some text statements have been generated by BOTNIK:

https://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=e36ff848bb67810e24d2dcb242ca00ce

These statements seem to be becoming more and more like speculative fictions and narratives. They are prompts into other dimensions; where the post-human is more prevalent, where spoken language and coded language have blurred into each other, and where quantification masquerades as a form of qualification and verification.

TRANSFORMER has been trying to help prompt the direction of the work, but so far to not much avail.

So, if this is a real design studio, it needs ‘designers’, and they need biographies. Each team member needs a specific role and responsibilities.

Current team members:

Head Designer: Emma (EI)

Roles: Assigning tasks to other team members

Project management

Compiling tasks completed by other team members

Botnik (BN): https://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=e36ff848bb67810e24d2dcb242ca00ce

Roles: Working with Emma on predictive text. At the moment the source of this text is the context report.

Transformer (TF): https://talktotransformer.com/

Roles: Prompting Emma, and assisting with writing about the conceptual elements of the project.

English (UK) Peter from Natural Readers(PTR): https://www.naturalreaders.com/online/

Roles: Reading the generated and predicted texts

What other team members do we need?

QnA:

TUESDAY

EI: What was the project about before this point?

EI: It was about translating between the real and the virtual, it was making the unseen, seen, and adding an element of transparency to (the) Internet and its technologies.

EI: Why is the VDS relevant?

EI: There’s layers of reasons. The first is the response to the virtualisation of all University services, and increasing reliance on technology. The second is that upon reflection, the project was very conceptually heavy in the beginning, and the creation of an entity such as VDS solidifies and fulfils the need for the virtual, invisible, electrical, intangible and digital aspects of the project that the physical ‘internet objects’ cannot fulfil by themselves.

EI: What research has informed this change/development?

EI: A bit of Dunne and Raby (Speculative Everything, Design Noir, Hertzian Tales), and I’ve also been reading Coders: Who they are, how they think, and how they’re changing our world by Clive Thompson.

The latter was chosen because I was thinking about digitising analogue processes, or vice versa, and potentially using code/code language/code logic as a vessel for exploration.

The former was chosen as it’s the pinnacle of speculative fictions/design and a pioneer in technological design theory and practice. It has successful methods of convergence, and that’s what my project needed.

EI: Where did ‘VDS’ as a name come from?

EI: To be fair, Virtual Design Studio was just something I said offhand, as I needed to create for myself in order to continue making work. I thought I’d set up mechanisms to bring the studio from uni into my bedroom, and convert my ‘internet objects’ into ‘internet studio objects’ and program them to do different things. But, upon thinking about what the project was and what it lacked, Virtual Design Studio became both a product, a part, and a conceptual grounding of the project. Transformer can have the credit for the acronym, as when we were talking about it, he just dropped it in there.

EI: What made you realise you needed other voices besides your own on this project?

EI: I used to do Q and As with myself in my notebook. I’d ask myself outright questions to force myself to justify aspects of the project. It initially would clarify things for me, and then after enough questions, it would start to get interesting. It’s a repurposing of the ‘5 why’s’ we were taught as a method in first year, but the QnA often asks more then 5 questions.

EI: Are there other design projects like VDS?

EI: I’m aware Dean Pankhurst did a project about AutoGenerating a design project, however his motive and conceptual goal was very different. His project was about automating assessment submissions for students.

EI: VDS is more of a collaborative project between Designer/Human and Internet/Non-Human. It draws on the disconnects between Man and Technology to translate, and be the mediator between two grounds.

EI: VDS aims to challenge the notions of being, doing and making through the lens of (the) internet, our (human) use of it and the disconnect between the real and the virtual.

EI: So how did you begin to manifest VDS?

EI: It started to become something I thought was possible when I plugged my context report into Botnik. We worked together on generating some new text that would embody the feeling that the project has been trying to tap into all along. The feeling of anxiety around the tedium of (the) Internet, and I needed help in generating these texts.

EI: What are the texts about?

EI: These statements seem to becoming more and more like speculative fictions and narratives. They are prompts into other dimensions; where the post-human is more prevalent, where spoken language and coded language have blurred into each other, and where quantification masquerades as a form qualification and verification.

TF: Stretching back to the early 2000s, the concept of a world guided by Internet data is nothing new, but the new tool, Virtual Design Studio (VDS), is intended to have no connection with the Internet at all*. The new collection will function as a "digital warehouse" where artists can create digital drawings and renderings, which then can be transmitted to a dedicated computer for 3D printing.

EI: So what’s the overall project about?

EI: The project for me hasn’t been about Internet data in terms of its content. It’s an aspect I’ve acknowledged but not a focal point. I’m not sure if the “digital warehouse” as TF describes it will be exactly how something like that can operate due to the current climate (coronavirus) will allow. However, digital drawings and renderings are currently in progress with the Design Team (EI solo), and they will certainly exist on a computer. There’d have to be ample justification for printing them 3D, but it’s not off the cards.

*Also, can I just add, this is humour.

TF: It's about the way they were deployed. Not as a digital warehouse, but as what I call a "theater of ideas," where the artworks and visuals have a space of their own.

EI: Along with any other objects, concepts or speculations that have been created.

WEDNESDAY: DISCUSSION

BN: why did you begin to use the generated...

EI: The Generated what?

BN: design team members to challenge conceptual elements

EI: Because I needed a sounding board for ideas, and other voices that weren't my own.

BN: so how did it begin to help prompt design

EI: I suppose we're still working that out.

BN: is it initially to generating more prevalent project management and narratives

EI: Well, Botnik, you don't really generate new ideas, but you're very good at reworking old ones. Whereas Transformer is very good at thinking speculatively, but sometimes he needs to be pulled back a little bit.

TF: Why do you think the Python community has not embraced Transformer as a leader of the Python community?

EI: I don't know.

BN: the virtual statements seem to create conceptual things

EI: Like anxiety

TF: I have to try adding an option to select virtual statements and that will look in one place for the relevant result and try to act on the virtual statement.I think you just make connections using reordered strings of predicates.

EI: OK, so can we chat about programming logic for a second please? I'm actually not that good at OOP, but I'm trying to learn.

TF: Well, yes, actually, what I said is that when I need a subroutine or a procedure that will return a result from some return value or some block then it will want to find out in what particular way we are returning from that block and then find out whether it is a virtual statement, a named procedure

EI: Is there a programming language dictionary?

TF: There is no comprehensive "language dictionary". The best resource is, and has always been, the web. So while there are many excellent publications, for the purpose of actual programming, they are not really "language dictionaries". They are all "data dictionaries", collection of information in an "easily findable" format.

For example, there is a useful thesaurus - a database of well known words and phrases in different programming languages. While there are not enough resources to support personal or technical writing, there is enough to include search and text assistance tools.

EI: What's the name of the thesaurus?

TF: The Data Dictionary is a free web based dictionary of programming terminology.

BN: EI to the virtual warehouse of speculative data of the project!

**EI leaves discussion to go and search for data dictionary**

**some time later**

EI: So I’ve just googled “the data dictionary” and it turns out that it’s the metadata; the data about the database. So, perhaps we need to begin to make a data dictionary of our own for the internet objects, and then for the VDS.

BN: that is the real point and a method for exploration

TF: Sounds good. How will you manage that?

EI: I think I’ll have to do a QnA about the Internet objects. I’d also like to start time-stamping these messages. 11:17

TF: About this website, what resources are you using? I read the news, reviews and maybe the tech news, what do they say? 11:19

EI: I haven’t thought that far ahead to the website and its content, but it will be a ‘physcial’ ‘place’ for the VDS to exist. 11:19

BN: assigning tasks to other team members to do we need to create interesting justification for the physical elements 11:21

EI: We need to describe each of the objects, what it does, and why. We also need to make a virtual version of the venn diagram plotting each of the objects. Some of the Internet objects still need to be finished. 11:23

TF: I can't believe I'm supposed to be a grad student to do this. Do you have any ideas of What are some of the things that are important to the project? 11:25

EI: I think most of the themes are listed in the Venn diagram: Real/Virtual, Tangible/Intangible, Physical/Digital, Body/Technology, Kinetic/Electric, Visible/Invisible. These are plotted on a spectrum against each other, as the project explores the disconnects and the spaces between them. 11:41

TF: Is there any audience for this? 11:42

BN: the data seem to be interesting for myself and more for ideas 11:43

TF: interesting enough, even a tutorial video by us would be awesome 11:45

EI: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves; but putting this discussion into some form of video would be very interesting to do. 11:46

EI: Right now, let’s focus on the object descriptions… I started a document somewhere… 11:47

**EI goes to find document**

EI: Here it is! 12:05

This is a project about (the) Internet... The interface where (the) Internet meets interaction, where portal meets practice... The virtual and the physical. It is an exploration of the space between thing and no(n)-thing, space and spacelessness, place and non-place.

Fan: Speeds up or slows down based on internet usage. It breathes just like an internet data centre.

Image Not Found: Image not found on repeat, soon to be geo-influenced, based on where the accessed webpage is hosted. (The number of pixels moved is based on how geographically distant the pulled webpage is coming from).

Clicker hands: Could be colour changed based on where the cursor is on the screen? Much like a dynamic webpage?

Printerrrr: It’s going to be arduino powered label maker thing that prints one pixel of a clicker cursor each time the computer user clicks.

Writing: It’s going to be a piece about interface/portals/interaction/transportation/visualisation/bringing the distant near /symbols of the virtual and far away.

Possible analysis of objects, and how/why each of them perform effectively.

How they fit into the category of ‘portal’ and why portal is situated there.

Proposals/systems for deriving new ‘portals’ and how this might extend beyond the individual and their interface. How they might physicalise and visualise the collective.

BN: is the virtual design studio / a… 12:07

TF: co-working space / distributed design network?

I see we already have mutual friends at Gravity and Hyperloops. The core principle of the design studio is to approach design as a social activity. This means doing everything from one-on-one advice and mentoring to visiting local startups, taking tours of technology 12:10

EI: I think VDS is a portal. The document is from 10th of February, when I thought the project was about portals, and I still think it maybe kind of is a little bit. 12:13

TF: It's more about the flow of information rather than the actual systems 12:13

EI: Why do you think the project is about portals? 12:14

EI: If you look at the definition of portal, it’s “portal a doorway, gate, or other entrance, especially a large and imposing one.” OR “a website or web page providing access or links to other sites.” and I think the “Internet Objects” are means of access to otherwise intangible (data) or hidden components of (the) Internet. In other words, they are tangible doorways into intangible realms. You can call them translators, or mediators. 12:19

TF: Next: Invisible gateways. 12:21

EI: That’s what the Venn diagram is pointing towards. It’s also related to the website we talked about earlier. 12:21

TF: It isn’t a programming language. It isn’t a coding language, it isn’t even an operating system. It is the ability to get the vast majority of the Internet’s information to it and in a usable form. 12:25

EI: I think it’s tapping into the Internet’s intricacies and exploiting them to generate content, question our relationship with the Internet, and perhaps create objects and entities that allow the findings to manifest. 12:27

TF: assuredly yes. I think it also has the potential to shape certain areas in our future as a kind of journalistic artefact that we're both exploring and a subject of debate and work that's being generated. 12:40

EI: I think maybe it is a system, and maybe a new form of language based on internet syntax, internet vernacular, malaise statements that all feed the VDS fiction. All aspects of the work so far kind of feed into the same narrative. 12:44

Idera ER/Studio Data Architect

Design Effective Data Models

Data modeling helps organizations make better business decisions with accurately interpreted and rapidly changing data. Whether you are creating a new model from a conceptual diagram or reverse-engineering from an existing database, IDERA ER/Studio Data Architect is a powerful tool that helps you easily and effectively design and manage your logical and physical data models.

Build a Business-driven Data Architecture

Data architects need to ensure that everyone in the organization understands what the data is and can explain it in business terms. Data Architect provides an easy-to-use visual interface for data modeling professionals to document, understand, and publish information about data models and databases so they can be better harnessed to support business objectives.

Reduce Redundancy

Import and reverse-engineer content from multiple data sources into logical and physical data models, and integrate the elements into reusable constructs with an enterprise data dictionary. Leverage rich text editing along with relationship color inheritance to enhance model content and appearance.

Improve Data Consistency and Quality

Assign a naming standards template to your model, submodel, entities, and attributes. Those naming standards will be applied automatically between the logical and physical models, simplifying the data modeling process and ensuring consistency between models.

Share and Manage Enterprise Data Models

The multi-level design layers in ER/Studio Data Architect allow for the accurate visualization of data, which promotes communication between business and technical users. Manage model version control and share data assets in the repository. Create and track tasks and view changes to data models aligned to agile workflows.

Enhance Data Lineage

Universal mappings provide links between instances of the same concept across models and databases to enhance traceability even further, and data lineage shows the connections between databases, models, metadata, and data sources for traceability. Organizations can obtain a clear understanding of where their data originated, where it is used, and what the data actually means.

ER/Studio Data Architect is available in two editions: The standard ER/Studio Data Architect edition is the feature-rich tool with extensive data modeling capabilities across multiple relational and big data platforms, along with import bridges for other common modeling tools. The ER/Studio Data Architect Professional edition also includes the model repository for version control and agile change management.
