    monday:
        morning->introducing each others-backgrounds and interests (crossing domains, finding one's "field" too narrow)
        getting familiar with git+irc+pads (troubleshooting session/helping each others)
        intro to tools used for depackaging the book (ocr plus image cropping)
        sharing unexpected results from imagemagick multicrop
        issue of stealing from public and responsibility to republish + copyrights ->creative constrains?should we bother?
        we are republishing already
         pushing the raw images and texts on git; pulling it all locally; put  texts on pads for collaborative notes, keywords etc (longer than  expected, lesson learned!)
        new padylon starts taking shape
         division of the texts (each person picked pseudorandomly a text that  will be prepared for tuesday)(palace of justice trip postponed)
        ///////////lunch///////////(including finding the guest lost in the neighborhood :)
       15h  presentation from Merijn Oudenampsen--small discussion/reaction
        presentation from Joke Robaard--small discussion/reaction
        consensus and dissensus.contradictions.layers within project, its lifetime, its reception (the art bubble etc)
        bigger group discussion till closing time!-->notes of afternoon talks/discussion http://192.168.1.222:9001/p/new_padylon_merijn (limited-should get others' notes too)
        
    tuesday:
        morning->  couple of hours of personal reading of the picked texts, preparation of  small presentation (keypoints and personal interests/links)
         [the idea was to give each others a minimal orientation in the material  present in the book, without having to go through all textes]
         12h->start with first (wigley's text)--the presentation is deviated,  it becomes a discussion, hard to impose rigidity over such a flexible  project.but still..
         metapoint: to leave things detouring or to bring them back to main  track? not a clear decision thereby till lunch we have a rather messy  touring between text presentations and talks--slightly more than 2 texts  touched in one hour; nevertheless some nice ties were made between  texts and previous day discussion
*//////lunch/////  (some opinions exchange between participants: how to proceed?lagging  too much?need to get to  tools!text-image-links-discussion-play-dysfunctionality/ problem of  decentralizing the project-one,two,many tracks are possible, but we need  to find a different way of working.embracing discussion detours brought  us perhaps to far from our initial idea of combining theory and  practice-on the one hand is good, but on the other hand it feels a bit  too disorenting for a collective project )
        +- 15h collective moment of meta-how to proceed? skip the next presentations and move to tools? else?
         decision to go on with presentations but to reaaally keep them short  and postpone the moment of discussion to another time.5 mintues max per  person-stress on keypoints and personal links
        (towards 15:30/16 we planned appointment with botnet group for playing with networks (in view of "trip") )
         in little more than half an hour 8 texts are done!but no time for  discussing them feels a bit unpleasant(?) only scattered notes taken on  pads about possible discussion points (but how to get back to them?how  to re-enact them after momentum is lost?)
        *gather notes people took,maybe make a bit more elaborated text about raised points
        some people wants to focus on network aspect of unitary urbanism-others on colors-images-formats-metadatas etc
         some improvised group splitting- some joins 2084 to play with  mesh/autonomous/nomad networks, some joins the 3d architectural tool  group to see possibilities to work with images (that have been a  problematic and a bit neglected point since the beginning). some  speculation about semantic links, xanadu, filesystems. some research  bots, others look at websites, others propose the creation of analog  situations to enact new babylon(an idea to play at palace of justice  maybe?) people are scattered and clustered (and tired) jump from theory  to practice has been perhaps to drastic?
         17h bits and sounds presentation. some joins, others kept working.  network group has some basics on flashing the routers with open-wrt and  later played with camera with embedded webserver-- set a laptop as local  server for pads and other things-->but we now need to come up with a  game, or other ways to make it a collective experiment at palace of  justice wednesday afternoon.video/images/sound?
         some ideas about navigating a single text (something inspired by  text-based adventure games)that would also link to other media and  content
        image group-->http://192.168.1.222:9001/p/new_padylon_images
         there was no coming together at the end of the day, so we still don't  know what people are up to, we'll discuss it in the morning, see how the  subgroups can communicate and interact (and their tools and experiments  too)
        wednesday: 
        till 11:30 touring worksessions
        update each others--
        brainstorming:
            
texts
images
navigation through 
semantic
links (relative or absolute, symbolic)
hyperlinks
as a fiction
a way to be re-apropriate by someone else

This torrent contains the raw material of/for/from New Babylon, a project started in the 50s by Constant Nieuwenhuys. 
The material has been depackaged from Constant's New Babylon: Hyperarchitecture of desire, a book edited by Mark Wigely in 1998 on the occasion of an exhibition dedicated to New Babylon in Rotterdam.
The book was in fact meant to be the catalogue of the exhibition and thereby printed in limited copies. This scarcity and the absorption of this project in the art bubble transformed the book into an expensive collector item. 






This torrent contains textual and visual materials from New Babylon, a project started in the 50s by Constant Nieuwenhuys. 
The  material has been depackaged from Constant's New Babylon:  Hyperarchitecture of Desire, a book edited by Mark Wigely in 1998 on the occasion of the exhibition dedicated to New Babylon that Wigley curated in Rotterdam.
The book is in fact the catalogue of the exhibition, thereby printed in amounts suitable to that  event. The book has quickly become a collector's item as the diffused interest in the material contrasted with the scarcity of the printed copies.
Some of the textual materials contained in the book are actually in the public domain. These can be found, together with many other texts from the Situationist International at:
NOTBORED - http://www.notbored.org/SI.html
BUREAU OF PUBLIC SECRETS -  http://www.bopsecrets.org/SI/

make torrent file BUT FIRST WE NEED TO WRITE A README TEXT!!!that tells a bit about source material but not much about what's happening here.just raw materials
and later release our version/elaboration (that refers back to raw materials)
