Latest revision as of 14:55, 21 November 2024


What do you want to make?

I want to experiment with /explore various ways of developing a method -> to make an infrastructure for countermapping / anti-campaigning.

To show (human) complications, tensions and miscalculations as a reaction towards the renders, city marketing and planning (as I describe). With stories and anecdotes I collected and search for ways of developing a platform constructive reflection


In this process I want (re)search for ways to visualize the tension. I.e. using drawing as an alternative to the hollow representation that 'shape'

Rotterdam.

The human touch as reminder of the (in)humane complications to discuss perspectives and to create a catalog of findings, perspectives

I would like to experiment with both face to face sessions with friends, family, but also with people online and offline.

Not only questions but also playing with 'anecdotal annotation',

A way / method, to showcase virtual/physical clashes with contexts and representations. Possibility is, a visual essay based on an inner/outer mono or dialogue I'm currently having considering the rendered imagery of Rotterdam used in both (simulator) games and future architectural concepts of Rotterdam. But also going out of my bubble and reflect on multiple views rather than only my personal render.


I have a couple of things I want to test. To make the 'methodology development' more tangible I will approach it as if were some sort of software or game with version controls.


V.0.0.1

How do you plan to make it?

Through organizing a set of sessions that could be comparable to the colloquium. but then inside of Rotterdam or at least with people that moved as well. 

"Search for examples of city planning / marketing / maintenance of the city/village/township where you are from*" 
collect img / promises / memories 					                     
then....... 
ask yourself / eachother "how does -location- relate to you as the inhabitant*?"
aaand thennn  
ask yourself / eachother "how do you relate to -location-?"

I see that there would be a second colloquium coming up for the sake of concept development.


I want to explore various ways of collecting information, context and also ways to make things tangible.

[Collective Location Relation Annotation Session]

A continued version of before-mentioned collection and reflection. But then adding own element of the XYZ+T?

  1. gather context and get either frustrated or inspired or in the best scenario both,
  2. print out the imagery or text and annotate how this doesn't apply to the person getting into it.
  3. develop this into a pamphlet / poster
  4. share the stories behind the output

Using the stories of people and they situations and creating character sets of it with human metadata.

This cube will then transform into a dice and the contexts, problems, barriers will then turn into decks of cards.
