Re: [tw] Re: link in a documentation macro doesn't show up as a reference

[Alex Hough]

Josiah,

I am creating a thread on Twitter [1].
I'd like to "weave" a TiddlyZine into this thread.

I think a twitter thread is an interesting form. Small chunks of
information linked together.
A TiddlyZine can cut and paste from Twitter and then be inserted back into
the narrative.

Re: [tw] Re: link in a documentation macro doesn't show up as a reference

[Alex Hough]

Josiah,

Lets use this thread on Google groups as a link into the fanzine idea.

I am thinking about reuse... "reuse and combine" as a process... and
process orientation in general

I think it would be nice to create something which a truely dedicated
reader could trace back, the creative process would be easy enough to find.
The reader  can work backwards from something simple and immediate (like a
fanzine) and then -- if they wish -- add their own collaborations at any
point in the history of the text.

Lets frame it as art and hypertext

Hi Joshua,

Interesting. You are clearly inspired and I enjoy reading it. You should 
consider a sheepywiki clone. It would be great fun if you would share it.
After all you have often mentioned everything passed fast in this group. 
Dolly the sheep may be a good way of promoting Tiddlywiki.

Ciao Alex & Thomas

*Regarding "BUTCHERY" *

... a cognisant Dolly on a British Landscape would be aware of common 
English phrases about PASSIVITY like ...

   - Like a lamb to the slaughter


   - As meek as a lamb


   - To look sheepish


   - Like a flock of sheep

All reflected in Isaiah Berlin's famous ...


*Freedom for the wolves has often meant death to the sheep.*


All indicating acceptance of bad situations Sheepy has no sense of control 
over.

Regarding the GOODNESS of sheep ... English has ...

   - Sort the sheep (good) from the goats (bad). 
   
In UK POLITICS one comes upon references to sheep as in Denis Healey's 
withering use of a biblically inspired metaphor to verbally slaughter Sir 
Geoffrey Howe's boring presentations in Parliament: 

   - *"Being attacked by him was like being savaged by a dead sheep."*

More recently joking themes around sheep have emerged ...



*Q: What's a sheep tied to a lamp-post in Cardiff called? A: A Leisure 
Centre.*


That is a variant on the Welsh as sheep-shaggers motif. Also used for 
people from New Zealand.


Sheep turn up as background in a lot of British film. THE DRAUGHTMAN'S 
CONTRACT has a theme tune by Michael Nyman called "Chasing Sheep is Best 
Left to Shepherds ". Its based 
on a tune derived from Purcell's semi-opera "King Arthur."


*BUTCHERY AS ANATOMICAL POETICS*

George Stubbs, arguably the greatest painter of horses ever, spent an 
enormous amount of time studying horses during and after slaughter to 
understand how their physical bodies worked. Yet , likely because of that, 
his paintings of horses are accurate beautiful & lyrical. 





*This process of decomposition of the subject into parts and its 
re-combination is central to lots of art making.*In the case of Dolly the *DNA 
sequence* is equally important to morphology. 

Maybe it starts D-O-L-L-Y ...? :-)




*DOLLY AS FRANKENSTEIN (FRANKLY-SWEETIE)  *The idea of genetic cloning tends 
to bring up FRANKENSTEIN themes. Monsters that get out of hand because they 
are "against nature." But even in the Frankenstein novel the humanity of 
"the monster" is apparent as much as the irrational hatred of its 
appearance. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN  
gets it humorously.

So there is a strong play on "Identity" when looking at clones. I think 
movies have been far ahead of social thought on this: A.I., THE MACHINE, EX 
MACHINA, BLADE RUNNER to name the better known. EXISTENZ by Cronenberg is 
particularly relevant because it also engage with the issue of virtual 
worlds and the MERGING of biology with electronics.

Dolly did well on the Frankenstein Stakes because she looked much like and 
behaved much like a sheep. A somewhat tamer version than found in BLADE 
RUNNER (based on PK Dick's "DO ANDROID'S DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?") where 
the clones ("replicants") are of humans. Blade Runner, the film, goes some 
way to exploring the existential issues of whether the replicants are 
actually more human than the humans--the original story goes a lot further. 




*THE ARTISTIC CUT *Coming back to Alex's comment on butchery ... 

... I thought that she would see cutting things up ...
>

And as he sees Dolly seeing that HE cuts space.

"Butchery" is probably a bit OTT for his manoeuvre but he's definitely 
CUTTING semantic pieces and assembling into mappable GRIDS. This near 
universal process of the CUT in art-making can be Conceptual 
Differentiations or physical assertions (like a brush stroke). It comes 
about in a different way than the cut in normal programming where logic 
forces cascade ... i.e. starting point is less elaborated so the Funnel Of 
Execution can differ.

 
*SURFACE PATINA*

The materiality of tangible stuff is a million, million miles away still 
from the false grunge of computer re-representations. They lack texture, 
odour and kinaesthesia.

In some ways that is *Dolly's Dilemma*. A once living Sheep reduced to a 
significant genetic experiment. OR a genetic experiment that became a 
sentient being?

Though, by the sounds of it, Dolly had a nice Sheepish life with occasional 
prodding with instruments. And never got served as mutton.

Back to TW. Just some probings ...

   - The card idea as POSTCARD.
   - The visual "fogging up" of physical borders of Tiddlers
   - grunge CSS (microfiche approximation)
   - music AS Tiddler--how I dunno--its not been done yet.
   
One small point is whether re-edited video might work in places. I was 
thinking of Vicki Bennet style re-animation from 

Re: [tw] Re: link in a documentation macro doesn't show up as a reference

[Alex Hough]

Hi Thomas,

thanks for the response. Could I include it in the next edition of
SheepyWiki? It may evolve into a kind of Fanzine -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanzine

Yes.. "butchering" ... i did dwell over the choice of that word!  The
intention was to get into the character of the sheep. By making her aware
of the world of butchery hoped to bring an existential aspect to her
personality. I thought that she would see cutting things up primarily in
terms of butchery and slaughter. Her existence is --after all -- is to
produce lamb for the table.

There is a get out! Its all in the context: The sheep is an electric cloned
sheep, and the text is part of her dream! ha ha!

There's also a growing critique of the role of sheep in the landscape, the
term SheepWreck is use by environmentalist George Monbiot: --
http://www.monbiot.com/2013/05/30/sheepwrecked/ . Is it worth the sheep
existing at all?

Granting the "sheep avatar" a level of consciousness allows the writer to
enter certain discourses in a playful manner.

BTW if anyone wants to use the character to write a sketch for SheepyWiki
we (me and the sheep!) would be over the moon!

I have been thinking that a form, a kind of animated post card.
Simultaneously nostalgic and futuristic.  Marshall McLuhan had a theory --
i think! -- where a new medium such as TV was understood as a development
from an older medium like film.

In TiddlyWiki we have a media which we understand as a development of the
wiki, a small wiki. We have "Tiddlers" and then we have our own
technical language -- a meta language -- to talk about TiddlyWiki itself. I
think that the words TiddlyWiki and Tiddler are a great part off the
design. It makes it easy to separate the content of the text from the
technicalities associated with the presentation of the text. " is better to
be confusingly distinctive than confusingly generic"

A tiddler is also analogous to a index card. It could quite easily be a
post card, evoking a type of text and sentiments associated with sending
post-cards: a message from a far away place, a place with an appearance
worth sharing. The poster of the card wants to share a view and a message
from that place.

I was thinking about those type of animate picture you sometimes see in
Indian restaurants. There is one in my local Turkish supermarket. There is
a picture, a kind of light box. Its back lit and there is some kind of
mechanism which makes the water look like it is moving. I haven't a clue
what they are called!

Actually... the more I think about it, the tiddler as post-card metaphor
might be better developed as a "child" of those "3D" view finders you can
buy in places like the Alps (or could do in the 1970s) -- like this thingy
--- https://www.image3d.com/retroviewer/home/

The microfiche viewer is another  old technology visual metaphor I like. It
has the back-lit property which the index card doesn't have.

There's something about surface patina I like. When you use a microfiche
machine, you get a layer which doesn't move when you scroll. And they have
a manual highlighting mechanims, it adds another layer. Its basicaly dust
on lenses and lights, but it adds to the feel of the technology.

In the TiddlyWiki community, we sometimes visit the discourse around
adoption and how the process is hindered by the word Tiddler. I made a
comment about how perhaps non-native English language users warm more to
TiddlyWiki because the word does not sound as childish or toylike.

Josiah has made some interesting comments on Twitter about TW as a
bricolage tool.  It we see it as a technology for DIY independent
creativity and adaption it becomes -- in my mind at least -- something a
KraftWork or Joy Division member would be using if they were starting out
today. Just as instruments like the Moog started to be used in ways the
creator didn't intend, so can TiddlyWiki. Its really a hypertext
synthesiser. HTML, JS and CSS are made easier and quicker to use by
non-specialists.


Thanks for  Mh! and «Mäh»! I like those little speach marks too  -- " « »

Hi Alex, 
very nice indeed! Feel free to steel some German characters for your sheep: 
Mh!

(By the way: «Mäh» sounds a bit like the word for mowing or it’s imperative 
mow!)

Talking about sounds: Hearing a sheep talking about “butchering” sounds a bit 
macabre to my ears ;–)

Now I will go and count sheep. Goodnight!

Re: [tw] Re: link in a documentation macro doesn't show up as a reference

[Alex Hough]

I thought you'd like it Birthe! Thanks for the inspiration!

I started with the intention to make my sheep use those curious characters
in the Danish alphabet and to be a kind of "lost sheep" --a Danish sheep in
an Englishmans Wiki.

Next I am thinking of adding some Russian dolls:
https://thenounproject.com/olesyakozlova/collection/matrioshka/?oq=russian%20doll=1
, also a very "cloney" object.

An interesting side effect for me in this process: putting the wiki into an
empty landscape metaphor somehow makes it more dreamy. If I could further
amplify the sense of "thinking while walking in the hills" I would be
happy. I am not sure how this might transfer into the minds of others, but
I guess this is the joy of TiddlyWiki. You can develop you own "ideascapes"
to create the opportunities for alternative perspectives to come into being.

Re: [tw] Re: link in a documentation macro doesn't show up as a reference

[Birthe C]

Hi Alex,

Thank you very much for sharing. Interesting tutorial, I think you and your 
sheep macro could charm anybody into learning and using tiddlywiki. Good 
idea to introduce the art teacher and the bully, you have matched the fonts 
perfectly, I could "feel" the types.

I think I need a sheep macro now, after all my main wiki is about knitting 
and wool. Lots of yarn and strange patterns there :-D

I would have thought a clone would be exactly the same, but will you 
believe it, the sheep started speaking danish in my Wiki, "mæh" it said ;-)
I do get your point...Båh with that font looks ...well, more sheep like.

You mentioned something about a Christmas story. I remember to have seen an 
avid knitter who had an animated icon. Old lady knits with wool directly 
taken of the sheep. Sheep gets more and more naked and freezing as we get 
closer to Christmas. When Christmas comes it turns out that the knitting 
was a sweater for her husband, but one sleeve is short, the other very 
long. Sweater far too big and especially too long. Husband have to try the 
sweater on (he would not dare not to), falls in the long sweater and gets 
strangulated in the long sleeve.
THE END.

Ok  here we are

Its should be self- explanatory. Its a series of TW each downloaded and

Its a wooly thread, it gets there in the end, just playing to learn.

Ciao Alex

I appreciate your art-take. I particularly liked the sheep :-)

One thing I find interesting in TW is the role of LATENCY. In Bach's 
Italian Concerto (BWV 971), especially the second movement, the role of 
latency makes all the difference to the resultant different 
interpretations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyO6JD3q7zE (Tatiana 
Nikolayeva, piano)

In TW there is a strong visual homology to that kind of aural latency. The 
issue being the point of emergence of (extanting) structuration from a 
liminal emergent pool  enstructuring itself. 

What interested me was your explicit invention of a "guidus colloquia"--a 
Dolly clone. The problem with fragment-to-whole-formation is how to you 
form the whole sense of the whole prior to having it formed?

I don't think this is a trivial issue.

Rather, that edge is most interesting for the implicit creativity that must 
function to bring it off.

Best wishes
Josiah

Alex,

Will you publicly show the Sheep Macro in an exhibition?

I like this idea. I'm a "visual type" too :)

That would be nice. ... I think I got the idea from your story, but an MTC 
would make it easier. 

I did provide a small bundle for an other thread 
 and 
some info about the uni-link plugin. ... May be if we get the "aliasing" 
thing right, so that it also produces backlinks this may be a possibility. 
.. But I'm not really sure !!
 
have fun!

Re: [tw] Re: link in a documentation macro doesn't show up as a reference

[Alex Hough]

Hi Mario,

The use case is to annotate text. I adapted the .tip core macro by changing
the image to a sheep. The sheep then becomes a character with her own
perspective on the text.

I've borrowed the idea from Douglas Hofstader and Stafford Beer. Both have
used the technique of including a dialogue at the end of chapters in one of
their books.

(I choose a sheep because of Dolly the sheep, the famous cloned sheep. I
wondered what a clone-centric would look like in the context of TW! I am an
artist by training, this is the kind of thing we are allowed to do?

I started to develop a clone-centric TW, (SheepyWiki?)

I found made a drag-to-clone button. I drag a link or title as link into
the sheep and it clones the tiddler. I am shifting the metaphor from little
fish in a stream sheep in a landscape. Part of me was thinking by making TW
easier to understand, part of me was thinking about creating cartoon type
stories where sheep talk for my children.

The use case emerged when I cloned a tiddler, then wanted to annotate a
trimmed version of the text. I put the trimmed text into the sheep macro
then added double brackets to produce missing links. Then, from the preview
window I create the new tiddler, without changing the title (pretty links
to create a capital). From this tiddler there is no reference connection
back to the tiddler with the macro.

I was thinking of using the newly created tiddlers (from the sheep macro)
as the starting point for a narrative. The tiddler could be tagged in such
a way to hide the title, it could feature the sheep making a comment which
expaned on the title of that tiddler. It sounds longwinded and complex, but
in terms of annotating a text I found it to be a natural and quick process.
A visual language was emerging where different voices annotating the text
could be easily produced.

To make a story, you could create an outline and a metastory then create
annotations by cloning and making links from except of the text.

The whole system falls down when the link from the macro doesn't create a
backlink.

I hope that makes sense. I will try and create a MTC..


Alex
