Today is 20-04-2025.

Session 1 - 07-14.04

Here are my initial notes from the first class with Martino and Imane

lathe of heaven - if dreams affect reality, they change real life, then they are real. (“You don't speak of dreams as unreal. They exist. They leave a mark behind them.” )

extravictism , mining

singing out technologies that harm the environement, Boycott?

what would I be if I was a clock?

me as a clock

how do you perceive time, where do you place yourself in time, how do you perceive a year, how do you look at the past year, how does the year change as you look back?

grasping at time with devices

- where is the material that keeps the time is stored?

-secret life of machines

-repairing sth that was never designed to be repaired

a throbber is an indicator of a distruption of flow/stream. the language we define these operations is operatively wrong but it is a human way of defining something mysterious. The process is then can be looked at closer and the interruption defines a moment in time; now. Now shows us that there is a sequence of things instead of a stream. There is nothing simultaneous going on in the core.

Foucault's version of "disruption" is another mode of organising society as in prisons disruption of freedom while Ernst's version is a disruption of organising media/interrupting a flow.

could the redefining of stream/flow change our perception of these processes all together?

I think the cyclical nature of a throbber is imminently doom inducing, there is no end and your process is held hostage whereas in progress bars there is an end and hope and there is a visual comfort in knowing something is progressing.

certificates/declarations of being

La chimera->lifeXdeath(starting a commune X looting graves)

Session 2 - 14-21.04

What does it mean to be on time? Are you on time often? Why or why not?

I think being on time indicates an expectation of time. And I think im not always on time but I try to manage expectations so being on time changes meaning as I am being late.

Do you find yourself in conflict with standardized time? Draw a time device/tool that embodies not being on time or in other words, being on your own time.
