conceptual-building strategies

(Reading and writing and talking)

annotation of texts + intertextual links
summary of texts
own thoughts on texts
reading theory as if it was poetry (observing own emotion, thoughts, connections)
writing responses to texts, short essays
co-writing/thinking with others
writing scripts/compositions/exercises (a cookbook)
writing fiction (poetry, stories)
transcribing content from improvisation
interviews with practitioners, other people interviewing me (monthly practice, repeating questions)
letter exchange (w/practitioners, theoreticians, believers)
making notes of conversations w/friends
bot that I feed my texts.

observation

HABITUS

Observing the movements that people make subconsciously, habitually.

When we are consumed in an action that takes all of our attention ("processing power"), we do not think of the gestures we make, the focus is primarily on the task being done, sometimes not even that. The "empty gaze" is often perceivable, mind can be elsewhere: mechanical movement of human bodies.

For example: people moving a heavy ladder, folding a bed-sheet, technicians setting up lights, a musician arranging gear, a cook cutting vegetables, a cashier handling the groceries.

Performative elements that I am interested in: the replica of these gestures without objects (folding, scanning especially) on stage or on video (in the video objects are edited out (green screen bed-sheet?)).

questions

queering damage questions

&add reference

what is going on here?
which are the agents implied? alive or not, human or not, powerful or powerless
wheres? spatiality / situatedness / displacements / distribution
whens? temporality / durability / existing / extinct / repeated
semiotic-materialities: what signs and matters are at work in this ensemble?
your entanglement with the scene
can a pattern be identified here? to what extent is this damage structural, or singular?

&answer

Aymeric's questions

are you planning for an individual work or a collaboration (as in with another XPUB2)?
what are the theories, concepts, frameworks you would like to engage with during the second years? (less is more)
what are the practices, techniques you would like to focus on? (same)
how do the last two relate to, inform, complement, or conflict with each other in a meaningful way?
what is the issue you want to deal with (and/or damage, check again the queering damage questions, try answering them)
what is the preferred medium or the media you are inclined to use next year?
what kind of public do you intend to create?
why is it relevant? (maybe overlapping, duplicate with the queering damage questions)
