Methodology

Khipus consisted of knots that could be untied, re-tied, or changed in position. It seems that a khipu was an ever changing information storage system, being able to be modified in a recursive manner. This approach is how I am developing this project: each one of its modules (pages) is a cord, and each one of the submodules (organization of poem examples, who is each of the artists referred, etc.) will become more complex over time. In this way, the advisors proposed (UX designer, Creative Technologist, etc) don´t need to be available at the same time nor from the start: their advising will be dependent on the module developed, as required.
