Andy Matuschak shared his favorite HCI paper of the year, by @tweetphia, Sarah Abowitz, Yijin Liu, @sgsterman, @shmuh, and @maxkreminski. It explores weirder representations of "readings" — artifacts from a reader's interaction with texts — experimenting with cut-up "poster-ification". The authors argue marginalia are too subordinate to text structure and separate precis too decontextualized, seeking forms that show the whole without losing the parts.
