summary: In 2021, Ania Molenda and Andrea Prins contacted us about a project they are doing called Beyond The Essay, where they are researching forms of online reading and writing with a specific focus on the essay in the field of architecture critique. Within the Beyond the Essay meetings, we proposed three methods to engage with text in collective situations that respond to existing computational artefacts, namely tags (`__MAGICWORDS__`), indexing formats (`x-dexing`) and word2vec (`word2complex`).

<small>In 2021, Ania Molenda and Andrea Prins contacted us about a project called "Beyond The Essay: New Ways of Critical Reflection", where they are researching forms of online reading, writing and publishing with a specific focus on the essay in the field of architecture critique. Based on the results of their interviews with publishers and institutional partners, such as Valiz, Archis, ArchiNed, Torque Editions, dpr-barcelona, Institute of Network Cultures, and Framer Framed, we started a conversation on publishing tools and methods. Within our meetings we narrowed the scope down to the research question: how can digital publishing be a support system for critical reflection and engagement?
