(2/3)
Welcome school learner who really wasn't expecting it to be like this. Welcome student scrolling through Twitter. Welcome person who doesn't want anyone to know what you're working on. Welcome diligent journalist looking at a cached web page from 2006. Welcome parents in with the kids to see an exhibition (sorry about the tempting shop). Welcome all ten people who think they've got the most niche interest in the whole building. Welcome librarians from everywhere. Together we've got this.

Welcome researchers on a bit of a mission. Welcome mildly curious people. Welcome person looking up the history of Leicester city centre. Welcome midlife entrepreneur wanting advice. Welcome scientist with a theory it's going to take at least ten years to prove. Welcome local fancying a cup of tea. Welcome teenager gothically in love with Lord Byron.Welcome tourist who thinks we're the British Museum. Welcome musicologist who will be in the papers with what you discover today.

'researcher on a bit of a mission' haha, that sort of tongue-in-check understatement is very British subtle humour. of course, everyone is on a HUGE undertaking that takes over your life 🙋‍♂️

I was also brought to tears (literally, I sniffled in the locker room) by the moving banner that the British Library have put up in the foyer.

Morning campsite! Ha, today's little find has been a gem, it's the history of APIs: http://apievangelist.com/2012/12/20/history-of-apis/

meanwhile, does anyone have an opinion on whether its useful to called the intro chapter 'Introduction', or better give it a title?

there's a scholar to my right that is known for a book on algorithms. I feel like this is an algo-discourse British Library chair warming competition. I'm keeping my chair warm way past my normal leaving hour 🔥 😤 🔥

randomly writing stuff down, my thesis planning is going out the window.

@deerful emma, which night are you playing at the algorave Festival? Im going to come see you livecode 😁

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ printer stopped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what good is the introduction and background without the core argument 🙄

Ive gone truly interdisciplinary, im really into this article published in ‘the academy of management annals’ by a scholar from the Sloan School of Management, MIT: Wanda Orlikowski 🙌

If I didn't have such an impending deadline, I'd start a reading group

… Judith butler, Annemarie Mol, Nortje Marres, Donna Haraway (Haraway is more known).

instead, a lot of the discourse used in current media/internet art practices are men - Benjamin Bratton, James Bridle, graham harman, timothy Morton, ian bogost.
