The diagrams in this section are an essential part of my communicating and thinking process. After reading the transcripts and notes of the conversations with my seven collaborators, I came to these yellowish card stock pieces of paper and decanted the most essential aspects of our conversation. The spatial and semantic relationships do not necessarily follow a strictly logical order. This allows for flexibility and also demands reworking of the contents.
I sent these back to my collaborators to make sure I had not misrepresented their words and thoughts. Some people came back to me with corrections that were added on top of previous writings.
A big draw for me about this is that I can spread the diagrams simultaneously and relate them together. In a way, they are the predecessors of the tarot card spread. A question that arose during my research, that relates to the diagrams too, is the materiality of the models used for computing and economic thinking. The diagrams, models and the spatiality with which they are encountered and shown feel particularly important when we refer to the ontological change I was seeking with this work. More about this in the Tarot discussion.
