* I just used my old “documentary_method.py” Python script that I created back in 2014 to document my experiments in painting and in other domains.

* Here is an instance of what came to be called “labnotes” that pertained precisely to this practice.

* In essence, this was the first iteration of what I now call “The New Documentation” (with the studio/laboratory treated as “cultural software” based on principles of continuous delivery and other related fields/practices).

* Here is another instance of the labnote format. I am having problems with the interface to this blogging platform, so I will return to this at a later date. Stay tuned...

All the projects are the same anyway. Some notes from earlier, in another format, but still the same underlying documentary method:

- I just was oscillating for one of my "15-minute workdays" or "work sessions" from two separate Gemini tabs, one tab for sending an email to myself, but I worked on the two Gemini tabs in conjunction with a document I was creating of the chat I had just had with the AI;

- Then I was also trying to find a reference in my archives of the concept of "delta-workspace" and "historiotopia" originally from a GitHub repository readme.md file, but which I was searching trying to find in another instance where I had posted the same content but in a Medium article;

- I keep switching from thing to thing, "tab-to-tab", "tab-to-editor", it's the translations and transitions from one to the other;

- I was also in the process of planning to send an email to myself with copies of documents I had been working on one of my computers, the Ubuntu machine;

- Then I'm already planning retrieving the documents in my email on my Windows laptop, after which I was going to print out a dozen pages on that computer;

- Then I was planning on going to read the documents at the kitchen table;

- Except I'm following a random, nonlinear trajectory/path through the workspace;

- I go from workspace to workspace, from device to device, media to media, always in "transition / interval / contact";

- There was more to it but that's it for now, this has been a data log, a snapshot of the workspace as it was in the previous hour or so.

- In conclusion, here is something also from that period around 2014, which I had already added in a previous iteration of this post, but which somehow was irretrievably lost.
- I wanted to include it to show how I have been thinking and working with surfaces, flat surfaces in this case, in my painting practice.
- It means that I have been working on my delta-workspace theory and documentation method for over a decade. Now it is the study of workflow management methodologies in their own right, as part of what I not call "The New Documentation". I will be posting on here more often, about the "nonlinear practice" of "nonlinear practices and methodologies of hyperreflexive design science". more soon...
