Google algorithm is based on the internet being a meshwork, not a hierarchy (not based on traffic) – the most links into the site = the higher the rank in a search. Determined by relationality.
Relations confer the value. The artefact matters, but you won’t get traffic because of your great work, but because of the meshwork of links that feed into your site.
Skills:
Iterate, iterate your work in cycles. First drafts are rubbish.
Notice your strengths and weaknesses. Recognise weaknesses, spend your effort doing what you’re good at.
Dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty (exquisite corpse) – this is the studio summarised.
Revised: materiality, relationality, agency – posthumanism (like postmodernism, “what is now to think beyond the human”)
Soft skills:
Blogging! is a soft skill. All the things we just read out (participation) are soft skills.
Automation: IFTTT. Ok, cool. Don’t reinvent the wheel. I’m using this.
Blogs are not for polished, finished things. They’re for works in progress (I’m a psychic! See: blog title)
Perfection getting in the way of good. “Putting perfection ahead of everything means that nothing will get done, or started.” This needs to be put to the front of my brain.
