Karlie's contributor notebook#

A simple landing zone for Karlie's first-hand experience and source material

Purpose#

This notebook is for three related contributions:

1. The SBK journey — searching, discovering unfamiliar artists, bringing work home, living with it, rotating it, and sometimes deciding to keep it.
2. The creative workbench — how Karlie uses AI and digital tools inside her creative process, including how taste operates through iteration and judgment.
3. Vibe fields — how Karlie defines, refines, and creates the desired experiential field of a room or other creative endeavor.

Selected conversation transcripts and practice notes belong in sources/. Start with the source-corpus index.

Relationship to the MOOI NIET. documents#

This notebook remains the fuller contribution layer. Selected insights from it now inform:

• Origin and mythos — concrete scenes of relational taste and the creative workbench;
• Collections — composing a field and making curatorial decisions legible;
• Basic structure — composition and placement within a stay;
• The artist relationship — MOOI NIET. carrying translation and presentation labor;
• The host relationship — hosting as spatial stewardship without performance;
• Enrichment — selected process traces and paths not taken.

Those documents hold the current MOOI NIET. synthesis. This notebook preserves the richer examples, unresolved questions, and Karlie-specific practice from which that synthesis can continue to change.

Instructions for an assisting agent#

If you can access Karlie's relevant conversations, inspect them directly. Do not ask her to reconstruct material that is already available to you.

1. Inventory the relevant conversations before writing conclusions.
2. Select only passages related to the three notebook areas.
3. Preserve useful passages in a source note with a date, title, participants, and clear distinction between quotation and summary.
4. Add a corresponding entry to the appropriate notebook document.
5. Mark missing or uncertain facts rather than filling them in.
6. Ask Karlie to review the resulting pull request, not to perform the extraction manually.

Keep the layers distinct#

Use these labels where ambiguity is possible:

• Known fact — an identifiable work, date, action, place, or source.
• Karlie's account — what Karlie experienced, intended, noticed, or believes.
• Shared account — something explicitly described as Mike and Karlie's shared experience.
• Agent synthesis — a pattern proposed by the assisting agent.
• Unknown — something the available source does not establish.

Agent synthesis should never be written in Karlie's voice.

Pull-request boundary#

A notebook contribution should normally change only contributions/karlie/. It may add several related source notes and update one or more notebook documents.

Do not rewrite docs/foundation.md, docs/structure.md, or other canonical material in the same pull request. The evidence should be reviewable before MOOI NIET. decides what it means.
