Trying to find out what to do for my graduate proposal.



Keywords popping up by going through my work:

  • mixing and matching/mashing
  • collaboration
  • provocation
  • nostalgia
  • reminiscence
  • individual experience
  • interpretations
  • what happens inside your brain (manipulation?)
  • reality vs.expectations/perception/lies
  • generative & computational meets old fashioned fuzzy feeling
  • contradictions


Very simple: what do I like or would I like to do once?

  • I like sewing and old fashioned craftsmanship
  • I would like to make a programmed book (sewing patterns?)
  • I would like to make an installation that is interactive
  • I'm interested in image, photography and memory.
  • Write down/record dreams. Bed linen installation. Dreams interwoven, touch each other, network of experiences (how to make universal for an audience?)


Talk w/ Steve, description of 3 works:

............scans of Steve's handwriting


Homework:

  • Methodology. Notes

collectivity - how we choose + manual labour of choice
modes of organisation.
personal = value through personal involvement (make uniqueness visual)

My projects revolve around collectivity. I like to work with a collection, whether already present or made on the spot by participants. Next to collectivity, I like to work with individual fantasy and imagination next to a collaborative and collective memory. A key aspect in the projects is the role of choice. How do we choose? The manual labour that is involved in adding to, arranging or augmenting the collection in ways that are instinctual but mostly come from tradition and semiotics are a thing for me to play with and investigate. The personal perspective from this manual labour, sometimes craftsmanship, gives it value and uniqueness. I then deconstruct and rearrange the collection myself. The different ways of organizing this data become the final product. Or, the work consists of the (re)arrangements of others, as an interactive platform to continue from.


  • Outline of possible future project


P.S. take picture of Steve to make stationary out of because everything sounds better in Steve's presence.
