For there is no such thing as a man, who, solely of himself, is only man. —Martin Heidegger

References & Inspiration

Cyborg

Wearable technology promises a balanced environment that is well-integrated with human needs. The device represents a desire to understand and systematize different aspects of human nature, such as emotions, affections, and feelings. It appears that the human body alone is not always reliable, as it can become ill, experience a range of emotions, and harbor desires. Additionally, it may not be rigorous enough in perceiving environmental data accurately. We perceive the human body as unfinished and open to improvement. Wearable technology reflects the tension between our imperfect bodies and the machine as a perfect and complete entity. Painting by Fred Freedman, LIFE 11 July 1960

Research & Ideation

Cyborg

In A Cyborg Manifesto, Donna Haraway critiques traditional boundaries, especially those dividing human, animal, and machine. She argues that cyborgs—blends of organism and technology—represent a new, feminist vision that transcends conventional categories and hierarchies. Haraway challenges notions of fixed identities and calls for embracing hybridity and interconnectedness. By using the cyborg metaphor, she proposes a world where identity is fluid and alliances are built on shared goals rather than rigid classifications. Her manifesto critiques patriarchy, capitalism, and science, advocating for a more inclusive, post-gender society.

Documentation workflow

I had trouble accessing the account because my internet is not connecting well to the server. You can see in the image that the changes I make in the code are not immediately visible. I cannot upload and display images in the project. I've integrated the image into the repository, but I haven't created a storage folder for uploads. I understand that the uploaded image is referenced as ./uploads/00027986.jpg, which corresponds to the image file I uploaded, assuming it is stored in the uploads folder within my project directory.

 error server

I realized I needed to save the images in the 'images' folder within the 'documents' folder. I encountered difficulties resizing and aligning them

Then I realized the error was due to the syntax for resizing images in Markdown. The expression { width=175 } is incorrect in standard Markdown and is not supported natively. GitLab doesn't support resizing images via Markdown itself.

To align my table properly, I'll correct the syntax and ensure it displays neatly in Markdown. The table format should have a consistent row and column structure without breaking it into multiple rows unnecessarily
