Sharing Context
"Sharing Context: Metadata, Markup Language and Articulation Work" (MA Thesis) thesis.gitpub.directory 2026
In this text I examine how technology coordinates collaborative work in the production of text, drawing from historical examples and present day tendencies. With todays increasingly diffuse, opaque platforms and the prevalence of metadata that shifts readability towards machines, collaboration becomes subject to automation. This does not resolve work but displaces where and how articulation work occurs.

About
me
I am currently based in Rotterdam (NL) where I work between graphic design, programming and artistic research. My main interests are subversive forms of publishing and their on- and offline infrastructures which I explore through different formats such as books, tools, websites or preparing workshops.
I am open for commissioned or collaborative projects ~ feel free to reach out mail@kimkleinert.com
this page
This page is set up using Pelican, which enables me to write all contents in markdown and generate them into a static website. For its appearance I wrote a few nested template snipptes in Jinja that are focused on default system fonts and native html elements.
Besides a small script that fetches the latest Are.na Block from this Channel the site does not use Javascript or any Frameworks, with the intention to keep dependencies low, it's size small and let it degrade gracefully across operating systems and devices.
