Thanks to @quinnanya.me I have now this cool wood burned keychain for my bag #DHMakes

#DHMakes The new String Dat Art piece is taking shape! Now I have most of the edges in place and the legend panels ready. As you can see the colors match! Next step: painting the nodes according to the artist’s role #NailsandNodes

"'Broken' is a relative term": Test print for poster where all but some small footnote text will be made from actual broken wood type. 2 of the broken letters need to wait for a 2nd pass to be printed, but even then I may do some versions w/nonbroken type printed over or under to improve legibility:

#DHMakes event

CNU is launching 5x5 Labs combining #DigitalHumanities + #PublicHumanities: Virtual Reality, StoryMaps, podcasting, documentary filmmaking… and one mystery lab 👀 Has anyone seen a similar structure at their institution?

A #DHmakes article!

Nearly two years of sleep visualized and on display in my office as @claudiaeberger.bsky.social demands 😉 #DHmakes

#DHMakes I always start with the same ritual: tying a knot on the outermost nail. That way it’s much easier to secure everything with glue when I’m done. And then comes the fun: simply moving from nail to nail, following the pattern, connecting people!

#DHMakes the set up for today! I’m starting with the edges for Nails and Nodes

#DHmakes is digital humanists (& other folks doing knowledge-work anywhere: library/academic-ish, or on your own!) sharing art/craft/making that has all or partial analog/physical components (ie not code/sites as those had more understanding/sharing in DH already). literaturegeek.com/2025/12/31/w...

In random things, my neighbors are renovating and they were going to throw this and I rescued for #DHMakes!!! I’m super excited because they are super big and enough for two different pieces

ACH 2026 welcomes proposals on all aspects of digital humanities work. Share your research, tools, pedagogy, or community projects with our vibrant DH community. Virtual conference June 24-26. Deadline: Feb 2 🔗 buff.ly/O7y3KaD

This is how it’s looking with the nails and the panels painted! Super excited #DhMakes

Today, it’s time to paint the different panels for the legends! #DHMakes #NailsandNodes

#DhMakes nodes day! Once all names are written, time to work with the nails

My #DhMakes friends, they have a category fot ¨best use DH for fun¨ I think it would be the perfect space for #DhMakes proyects!!!!!

Starting the year inspired! Playing with a possible logo for Nails and Nodes: String Data Art. Color, threads, and maybe a future #DHMakes physical version. What do you think?

🚨 @jenguiliano.bsky.social and I are happy to share the December issue of Reviews in DH. We bring you projects from our open submissions that focus on women. We hope you enjoy. See you next year! #ReviewsInDH reviewsindh.pubpub.org/v6-n12

Hope is a thing with wings ("a thing w/feathers") a thing that sings when fed a crumb & grows, whole loaves to others you may never see, a grace made, an *action* what if things were a bit easier? if we dream of what could be, & rise to find the recipe in our hands? what if we have enough for all?

As you can see… it actually worked pretty well. They do fit! Darker colors represent artists who appear in all the works. I’m thinking of distributing them across the six panels (even though there are eight… I’ll figure that out). #DhMakes

To test scale the legend of the artist, I used candles I had around the house to see whether it was even feasible to include the full cast. #DhMakes

After wrapping up my first semester as faculty, it’s time to really start my break by going back to my #DhMakes!!!! You can´t imagine how excited I´m about it

Guau, mil gracias, @Expoflamenco! We're still beaming from our symposium last week! Thank you to everyone across the world who came together for Digital Duende. As @babybarbour47 puts it, "the academic universe of flamenco It is too vast to navigate alone."  https://bit.ly/4a8fY5W

Yesterday I had the immense pleasure of visiting the Text Lab at Standford and meet in person the wonderful @quinnanya.me! I fall in love with the place! #DHMakes

And you can view the full program for #DigitalDuende2025 here: www.flamencoartsinternational.org/digital-duen... Nos vemos la semana que viene 💃🏻

#DigitalDuende2025 is next week (Wednesday and Thursday)! More info about this bilingual, hybrid, and free symposium on digital approaches to flamenco research and performance here: www.flamencoartsinternational.org/events/digit...

At CNU, we have a new Virtual Reality Lab and today I had a meeting with the Associate Dean for seeing for the first time! My surprise was that on the screens he had ready an add about my Data String Art, so #DHMakes in a new space!

This week in #DHMakes: once all my crosses are marked where the nodes should be, I keep Gephi open on the table as a guide. Beneath each cross I start writing the names of the people who shape the network of the different versions of Las golondrinas. #NailandNodes

I love that NYC has what amounts to a #DHmakes contest and exhibition! 🤩

This week I started working again on my new #DHMakes piece! Since several people asked how I scale the design onto the wood, here’s a look at my setup — laptop and projector on one side of the room, the wood panel on the other, all ready to begin!

These zines are both free to read/print/share! 1st is @claudiaeberger.bsky.social's, on Appalachian Trail history+use re:gender, race, land rights, datasci (eg how to ID proxy data when needed), & data physicalization/art accompanying their data quilt (scholarslab.lib.virginia.edu/work/footpat...) +

I went to the amazing @scholarslab.bsky.social and they have a lot of cool stuff like zines! I took my favorites with me and I have now a #DHMakes space in my office

#DHMakes just in case you want to see the material closer. I’m using this side as the back, because it’s not in good shape and I will paint the other!

Today at #NailsandNodes, I decided it would be best to start by putting some hangers on the back. Last time was the last time, and I didn't put them on at the end because they damaged the piece. #DHMakes

After a while thinking, I decided I’m going to start the new #DHMakes piece. As I only have a smaller “wood” (still not sure exactly what is this), I would do a smaller SNA of different versions of Las Golondrinas, a zarzuela piece by Maria Lejárraga and the composer José María Usandizaga.

#DHmakes Adding this to my list of things to embroider / knitting-machine / laser-cut.

. @sararribas.bsky.social's String Data Art exhibit represents ~2 years of work, starting w/physical archival research; noticing patterns of social artistic relationships around a major Flamenco event in Spain in 1922. Towards public humanities, how to make sense of large amount of people+info? +

#DhMakes at the @scholarslab.bsky.social Academia without community is elitism!

You can’t imagine how happy I was today when I first saw my data art piece on a wall. I’m tremendously grateful to @scholarslab.bsky.social for all the work and support on this. Without them, this wouldn’t be possible! #DhMakes

Discussing her use of materiality and why the analog format is important to her, @sararribas.bsky.social notes how she was a "bad" student - for her, the approach is a way to honor the differences in how she learns. Resonates so much with me and how I think about teaching.

@sararribas.bsky.social in action! Impressively presenting without slides!

This isn't a pedagogical talk, but I'm struck by how much @sararribas.bsky.social's work on analog approaches to data resonates with minimalist approaches to DH teaching. Working carefully by hand forces you to rethink a lot of your assumptions of your digital methods.
