https://pad.xpub.nl/p/Methods15-12-21
We start at 11:00 PROMPT
Outcomes:
1) Synopsis of a text
2) Annotation of text
We will follow the techniques of annotation we employed over the last two sessions
3) Bringing together this trimester's writing workshops
BRING: a text you want to annotate and make synopsis of (a text you feel has some relation to the work you are making).
if you are at a loss, look here for inspiration: https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Lens-Based_Core_Booklist
Throughout: Steve will be giving individual tutorials
11:00 Steve gives outline; example of synopsis (rough draft) of Hito Steyerl's Proxy Politics: Signal and Noise.
[text and author]
Hito Steyerl's Proxy Politics: Signal and Noise is a chapter from a book of essays Duty Free Art: Art in the Age of Planetary Civil War(2017) by artist and writer Hito Steyerl
[what is it about- what is it’s thesis? (2-3 sentences)]
Steve notes: In recent years there has been a shift in the role of the apparatus of the camera as a mediative agent. Until recently the lens and mechanical construction of the camera apparatus determined the image (format, scale, material support, reproducibility). Today when our phone camera takes a photo software makes alterations to the image (an algorithm constructs an image based on comparison with a series [directory-library] of existing images). This software is updated remotely. The camera apparatus takes on a different status. Steyerl examines the implications of this change. ]
[what is its context?]
The text can be seen in the tradition of a critique of media which understands that the material practice of discourse produces its object. See also, There is No Software, F. Kittler (1992-97); The Burden of Representation J. Tag (1993); Techniques of the Observer J. Crary (1992) and Objectivity L. Daston & P. Galison (2010) [other core text: The Work of Art in the Age of Digital Recombination, Jos De Mul (2009): http://www.demul.nl/nl/item/412-the-work-of-art-in-the-age-of-digital-recombination]
[Texts and art works it relates to…]
[Relation to your own work?]
Breaking those elements down to a template we have:
[text and author]
[thesis]
[context]
[relation to my own practice]
