GRS 1

themes so far: principles for entanglement of tender mass, knitting circles, personal archetype creation, archive of people's personal dreams.

⭐ what? (two sentences)

a workshop (knitting circle, coven meeting, archetype excavation) to find collective digital symbols that brought us closer to others and to ourselves.

the goal is to end up with an archive of very personal symbols for our digital growth.

⭐ how? (two sentences)

i talk about what digital symbols meant to me and show examples that i printed out on little circles. People can start from those to come up with three more symbols and write them down.

We talk about it and then then find three more, then share why they helped us and how they mattered.

⭐ workflow (two or three sentences)

seek people whose personal growth was heavily influenced by the internet and who'd be willing to come to the workshop.

create a safe intimate space to meet, write and talk.

afterwards, hopefully compile a list of symbols and go from there.

⭐ timetable (Sept 23-July 24)

have the workshop on 29/09 on the full moon.

first week of october: i revise and write about the list

from then i do something different and way better and super cool that i'll dream about soon

⭐ relation to previous practice (two sentences, draw on Text on Practice)

I started the course making an archive of people's interactions at our workshop, then I made a tarot card deck based on my specific cultural symbols and archetypes and finally realised the most interesting part of it all is really just people.

I want to merge them all in this and also incorporate the nostalgia I have for early internet communities and the growth they brought me.
