Collective Research

Add here links to texts/images and any content that relates to the NON LINEAR so that we all have access to it. Each participant will present their research (3 mins max) on Wednesday 14th of November at 18:30.

Dorothy: apology in advance - I probably can't join you in the coming two meetings since my partner is in town, but I would suggest this video in advance, on James Benning - who makes non-linear and actually non-narrative moving images, and in the form of another non-linear essay film. The essay film also recited an interview "James Benning on Time", which might offer some useful quotes / keywords etc.

Meetings

After voting on the above we decided on: Films will be non-linear (broadly-interpreted)

A short blurb of 150 words and at least 1 image is due THURSDAY 15/11/18. Please add relevant keywords/phrases to the pad.

Next meeting: Wed 14/11/18 @6:30pm in studio, preferably with 2-mins presentation of research on "non-linear." In the meeting we will decide on: images to use for the blurb and potential collaborations.

Met about how to proceed with the theme.

Decided on:

DELIVERY ROLES

• WRITER : Jue Writes about our theme. Descriptions (short description and blog longer description)

• THE EYE CONTACT : Susanna Someone to liaise with The Eye & collect information from everyone.

• TECHNICAL PERSON: Ugo Technical issues, checking files for any errors a week before and compiles Technical Rider for the Eye.

• MARKETING MATERIALS/DESIGN: Andy e.g. poster, program, etc

• DEADLINE PERSON (A.K.A. BALL BUSTER): Mia Gives reminders for set deadlines, “Don’t forget to…” emails, etc.

Next actions:

meet to decide on the process/consistency of content before next time we meet with Tina (12/11/18)

BEFORE NEXT MEETING (12/11), PLEASE PREPARE THE FOLLOWING

1. On the pad, write down your name and your suggested method for all of us to generate ideas. Here is an examples from today’s meeting.

- "I will bring in today's newspaper. We can then choose a piece of interesting news from that day and use that as the start for our film, however we are inspired." (idea credit: Ugo)

2. In the pre-meeting at 17.00, we will discuss/vote on the idea we’d like to go forward with. Depending on the scope of the idea, we might be able to develop our collaboration plan or elaborate our derived idea -- if not, at least we can take concrete actions and sum them up for Tina.

LB: 17:30 - ±19:00 EYE Meeting with Simon and Tina Bastajian in the large project space

• Tina Bastajian is a Los Angeles born, Amsterdam based media artist, researcher, essayist, and educator. Her work uses experimental approaches to documentary forms to explore

themes of memory, displacement, palimpsest, and the contours of voice and translation. These impulses also coalesce with her artistic research into moving image heritage and (counter) archival constellations and dramaturgies which include interactive documentary, expanded cinema, found-footage practices, and location-based storytelling. Tina currently teaches documentary film studies at Amsterdam University College (AUC) and is an essay tutor at the Sandberg Instituut, Masters of Art and Design program. She has also been a visiting artist/tutor at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), the Dutch Art Institute and Piet Zwart Institute. Her work has been shown internationally from the Beirut International Film Festival to the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (Montreal).
