Addresses to try
texture.website
The neighbour of lore.land for grain: material, texture, the tactile side of how things are made and published. Here it is a lab for addresses — every part of one reads as Spw does, and what you do is written back into it. What lives here:
Materials texture · typography · physics
Nothing lives here yet
The address reads (above), but nothing answers it yet. An address is a place to put something; try one that is lived in.

spwashi’s hand
On a sheet of ruled boxes, spwashi lettered the alphabet, Aa to Zz, along a snaking path, then laid it on a painted board and scanned it. Here it is traced into type: two faces of one hand. Where the sheet had no letter for something (a number, a mark, a sigil), a pen measured from the hand draws it, and says so.
spwashi@<lore.land>.{
Letter blocks
Write a word in the hand. Each letter sits in its own box, as on the sheet; the sounds the word is made of are spelled out under it. What you write and how you tune it go into the address (! the words, = the tuning), so you can pass it along. The scheme is left open, {, so the letters stay in their blocks; close it, }, and they run free.
The alphabet, and where each letter came from
Lettered: traced from a box on the sheet (its row and place on the snaking path). Penned: drawn by the pen measured from the hand, until a lettered one comes in from a scan. Tap a letter to give it its own address (*).
The curriculum
Lore.Land holds to Intergenerational Media Literacy: what is made here should be something two people of different ages can make, read and question together. Each plan is something to make and a question to ask about how media are made — on the ladder from reading to authoring.
Found in the folios
The folios' held motifs, read across the archive: textures (what a surface is made of), figures (what is drawn) and sayings (what is lettered). Candidates — each becomes a trope or a texture here by hand, and says which piece it came from. They live on spwashi.com. Each has an address of its own (~).
