Field notes
The index organizes work by project and medium, identifying authors, years, and forms such as video essay, design sprint, workshop/film, exhibition report, and research dossier. Two projects are dated 2019 and 2021, while a 2022 study examines lunar movement through simulation. Several entries are labeled “Temporary prototype,” so the homepage distinguishes some exploratory work from more fully documented studies.
