+ <p>While you walk this app (we) synthesise the data from your
+ phone accelerometer, measure the number of steps you make, and
+ feed it back to the construction of an amazing drawing.</p>
+
+ <p>You are not alone into this, contrary to usual 'self
+ tracking app' this one allows you to collectively contribute
+ your steps to the project. The data you give out will not be
+ fed by to you in bars and charts, but will generate a
+ beautiful drawing.</p>

+ on June, 8<sup>th</sup>, 2017.
+ <br><small>Quantify Wholeheartedly was made possible by a
+ prototype grant from DICRéAM.</small></p>
+
+ <p>In a world where digital practices are omnipresent,
+ everything is measurable, including the number of steps we
+ make, the amount of water we drink daily or even one's level
+ of happiness. Self-quantification inhabits everyday
+ practices. It becomes a game in which our body is envisioned
+ as a set of numbers and charts that suppose to coach us
+ towards a "better life".</p>
+
+ <p>Self-quantification is at the origin of forms of body
+ representations that blur the boundaries between what is
+ considered to be direct social control (measuring and
+ quantification) and other forms of spectacle where bodies
+ are constrained in aesthetic modelled forms and visualised as
+ charts.</p>
+
+ <p>This project was launched within the Brussels' women and
+ free software
+ group <a href="http://www.samedies.be/"><strong>Samedies</strong></a>
+ to explore the differences between community health support
+ groups and commercial social networks organised by the
+ corporations that develop self tracking
+ applications. Participants in Samedies developed their own
+ interfaces and tools and came up with a series of small
+ games that propose a different approach, both feminist and
+ collective.</p>
