"Reimagining TRIPS: Web Rings, Japan, and a Digital Album"

Jan 7, 2024 - 9:46amSummary: The speaker is contemplating revisiting their previous TRIPS project, considering the innovative idea of transforming extensive data on Japan into an interactive web experience or ‘brain thing’, which would serve as a digital album. They express a desire to work with an individual named Chandler to utilize their collected photographs, stories, and voice notes from Japan to create a website powered by natural language queries. Additionally, the speaker reflects on the potential resurgence of web rings as a means to foster unique internet communities that appreciate diversity, suggesting these could be structured through natural language. The speaker believes that these ideas, including the reincorporation of web rings and the Japan project, form a coherent vision that can be communicated to others, and they plan to record these thoughts for future reference.

Transcript: Another aspect of this is me just basically rethinking about the TRIPS project that I had in the past. And one thing that I'm very keen on to experiment with is, well, to figure out how to get all of the data that I have on Japan into a web page or a brain thing and basically use that as the album. That is the media artifact. And right now, maybe that is its own separate thing. But overall, eventually, that should be part of the same network. But we can experiment with it in a little form. And basically, I would love to work with Chandler to take our Japan photos, our Japan stories, and our Japan voice notes and see what little website we can build out of that just through natural language queries. I feel like that would be quite fascinating in a lot of aspects. So these are the main three things that I'm talking about. And the other one was, I mean, I mentioned it in the first note that I recorded. But again, web rings. I think web rings are basically ripe. There is a certain kind of hunger for it. And a getting away from the global village and being like, OK, well, how do we form communities in a different kind of way? How do we create internet spaces very easily? And internet spaces that are diverse, that show our diversity. And I do believe that possibly that can be done just straight up through natural language. And in some sense, these things that I said form, I believe, a coherent enough vision for someone else to understand. So that is a possibility. I'm going to note it down here. But I believe that some of these notes maybe at least push in a more concrete direction.
