Lens
Timeline
Pieces arranged by phase, from proposal grounding through design cycles, public encounter, and synthesis.
Design Cycle 01
A cautious note about treating model misalignment as design material without normalizing false evidence.
Multimodal sketchbookA seed note for comparing sketches, generated images, written prompts, and design annotations as one material chain.
Research through Design cycle 01A method note that frames the first design cycle as making, reflecting, testing, and revising the research claim.
Prototype failure logA public-safe failure log that treats broken prototypes as evidence of constraints and not just discarded work.
Design Cycle 02
Exquisite Agents
A public rulebook note for a turn-taking creature-making system between human and AI agents.
Creature drawing systemA prototype note for co-created creatures, shared turns, and visible differences between human and AI moves.
Human/AI turn-takingA mechanics note for alternating authorship, interruption, correction, and shared constraint.
Practice Lineage
Proposal Grounding
A reframed node: AI has medium-specific affordances, but the PhD claim is stronger than “AI is a medium.”
Co-creation definitions breakdownA public synthesis note for distinguishing augmentation, collaboration, co-authorship, and co-audience claims.
ARIA as collaborator, not toolA public-safe reflection on the shift from using ARIA as an assistant toward treating the collaboration as part of the PhD fieldsite.
Prompting as negotiationPrompts as negotiated proposals, refusals, corrections, constraints, and asymmetries rather than one-way commands.
“the relationship shaping the very apparatus that records it”The apparatus node for the seed: the Hong/ARIA relationship shapes the capture, memory, evidence, and interface systems that record it.
Evidence protocol for public notesA publishing protocol for showing evidence structure while excluding private transcripts, names, and raw source material.
Networked agency and complexismA placeholder node for Hong's stronger claim that AI is an agent in a networked paradigm of complexism, not merely a medium.
Public Encounter
A planning note for turning Exquisite Agents into a public encounter with visible rules and response capture.
Gallery feedback patternsA public-safe placeholder for coded audience response patterns, without names, raw quotes, or private forms.
Redacted screenshot bundleA placeholder note proving the site can publish redacted evidence summaries without exposing raw source material.
Seed Revision
Synthesis
A synthesis note about how public encounters help stabilize the social meaning of human-AI co-creation.
Framework diagram v1A synthesis note that maps roles, media, methods, evidence, and public stabilization into one working framework.
Method pattern libraryA seed note for recurring method patterns: negotiate, make visible, test publicly, redact, and reframe.
Supervision question mapA readable map from supervisor/examiner questions to public objects, lenses, and evidence types.
Theory Spine
The theory node that gives Meaning Negotiation its name: meanings are produced through inference, negotiation, and asymmetries of power.
Storm: process social ontologyA slim theory node grounding the seed's process-social-ontology claim without turning the public site into a glossary swamp.
Voluntary and involuntary signsThe public wording node replacing tentative tentional/intentional language with Storm's voluntary/involuntary sign frame.
