Why do artists annotate?

Motivation. The enjoyment at the margins (or in the overlay?).

Speculation references speculative fiction (fantasy, sci fi).
[[Speculation is a form of investigation]]:

Goals: [[direct conversation with primary sources]], [[share items in a context]]:

Everything is saved in the browser. There’s no server.

There is a [[speculative annotation mini collection]].
[[codex]] will like this one:

The project spanned 12 (!) divisions of the library.

User testing.

Then the talk went into amazing examples of annotation by students, which I won’t reproduce here as they had written consent to show work by minors and I wouldn’t want to breach anyone’s consent.
No social support:

Except #AnnotateLOC (could be aggregated in the [[agora]]?).

Activity: we annotate [[the left hand of darkness]]. But first Q&A.
-
[[q]] does the tool have a way to take their annotations with them?
- it’s all in browser local storage; there is no server component. but there’s no flow to be able to access annotations remotely, and you shouldn’t clear your browser cache :)
- (I wonder if [[ipfs]] or even [[fission]] could be a good fit for this)
-
[[q]] what if you had a button to save annotation .png files to the [[internet archive]]?
- (sounds great to me)
-
[[jaime mears]]
- would be great, is a matter of funding + time + working through the standards that the library of congress holds for [[pii]]
- the server really would host just a very lightweight json file essentially. the architecture is sound.
-
[[q]] how to get involved?
-
Now we annotate :)
