We welcome contributions to this resource.
1) create a new post
2) title the post the title of the resource, unless the title is very long. For example, you should title the entry on “Dodona” as, simply, “Dodona”; but you should shorten longer titles. For example, you might title “It’s the End of the World as We Know It, and He Feels Fine” as, simply, “It’s the End of the World…”
3) begin the body of each post with the source’s full bibliographic entry (follow MLA style guidelines for the Works Cited. Include the full title and *include the link* in this citation). See the OWL at Purdue for basic formatting info. Some of these are already on the Works Cited, but not all of them.
4) Skip a space and provide an annotation of 1-3 paragraphs. These should summarize and analyze the resource. The summary should be straightforward; the analysis will depend upon your perspective and level of interest. You might address one or more of the following: is there a bias? is there a blind spot? is this a realistic, utopian, dystopian, practical or problematic approach? what are the technological limitations/requirements? who has access? who lacks access? who’s controlling distribution? who’s the audience? are there any literary or artistic antecedents that the work reminds you of?
5) If the article references other relevant resources, make a new section at the end entitled “Further Reading” and include these resources under it (the links will suffice). This will be particularly useful for artists with related/relevant projects. For example, for an entry on the artist Phil Ross, you could include links to relevant artworks by this artist, such as “mycotexture.” And vice versa: for the entry on “mycotexture” you could include “Phil Ross” in the “Further Reading” section.
6) Each post should belong to one or more categories; these include ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL, CODING, COLLAPSING, CORRESPONDING, CONSERVING, NEWS, ART, ARTIST, INTERVIEW, OBJECT, DEVICE, TECHNIQUE, APP, GAME, PROGRAM, EVENT, SCHOLARSHIP, QUOTATION. If the entry does not fit into any of these, feel free to make a new category for it. Checking multiple categories is a-ok. For example, this interview with the artist Phil Ross hits all sorts of weird categories; you could check VEGETABLE, ARTIST, ART, and INTERVIEW.
