Ways of Writing is a PhD project investigating how designerly approaches might be used to reflect upon the relationship between language, writing and emerging digital technologies. More specifically, and as a point of departure, the project engages with different gestures of writing through hands on experiments with machine learning models, datasets and archives.

This website seeks to collect material from the process. The shape and form of this space changes as the shape and form of the project also changes.
