Eindhoven Footnotes is a grassroots project that investigates the lived experiences of citizens in a technocratic city. Through the lens of design, writing, researching, archeology and artistic practice, the city will be dissected by an editorial board overseeing a group of participants of various backgrounds. There is a permanent, open source and public reference library and research space based at Onomatopee, which also serves as a base for our actions. It's from here that we expand out into the city. The work carried out will result in five zines, with the project culminating in a publication with additional critical reflections on experiences and information gathered, from the editorial board, outside critics and commentators. Each zine has a theme that will be in line with, and overseen by, an editorial board member’s particular quality; say the built environment, big data or challenging power structures. In this edition the artist Jacqueline Schoemaker drew straight lines across Eindhoven on a map. The participants had to traverse the city and decide whether they deviated from the line not. This journey forced them to question their position in space and their body's relationship to the invisible yet present boundaries we find in a city.
