Ancestors of the Image
A test talk: how a wiki page becomes slides.
This is the title slide. Everything before the first --- is on it, under the page's title.
What you are reading now are the notes. They show on the presenter's screen, never on the projector. How it all works is on How To Use This Wiki, under Talks.
A slide with only a picture on it fills the screen.
The notes can run to as many paragraphs as you need, word for word if you read your talk.
Three things
- Time is a material
- Repetition is not sameness
- The archive talks back
These notes are not typed here. They are the Talks section of How To Use This Wiki, brought in word for word with an include and a heading, so they change when that page changes:
A page can be a talk: slides on the projector, and what you say over each one on your own screen. You write it here like any other page, so it keeps its history, backlinks and search. Test Talk is a working example.
Put [[slides]] on a line of its own anywhere on the page. Then:
[[slides]] A talk for the Serpentine, November 2026. Notes: Good evening. I want to begin with an object, not a history. --- [[image:1000Days]] Notes: This is a thousand days of painting, one a day. I stopped counting at some point, and that turned out to be the point. ---
A 3D piece on a slide can be turned on the projector. It loads when the slides open, so open them a minute before you begin.
