A short editorial film about learning in public and why the mess of the archive is part of the method.
Learning In Public
This archive shows the work while it was becoming the work.
Notes, assignments, reflections, and linked fragments live together here on purpose. The archive is messy because messy is part of the method.
Learning in public
This archive is intentionally messy.
