What do you want to make?

Describe how you will go about developing your project and research through reading, writing and practice. In other words, through a combination of these approaches, you will explore questions or interests you have laid out in your general introduction. In this section you can help us understand how your project will come together on a practical level and talk about possible outcome(s). Of course, the outcome(s) may change as your research evolves, but it's important at this stage to have some concrete idea of how your project could come together as a whole.

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

How do you plan to make it?

Through organizing a set of sessions that could be comparable to the colloquium

I did a colloquium which was a good attempt in gather and discussing reflective criticism.

"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-?"

What is your timetable?

October

Read up on previously saved sources. Start sketching and writing thoughts down, collecting both sides.

November

4nov: do a walk-in type deal and develop some sort of way to ask for contributions. a

Think about the outcome. start the design and think of it either being a moving image, online or offline zine, a mocksite, etc. Make a first draft for the first public moment. Maybe trigger a discussion. An anti-campaign. Parody? Satire? I am not sure if satire is the way, merely showing the THE LACK THAT IS BINDING / CRACKS.

December

Continue and have something to show / discuss in Gent, to reflect in the project proposal and thesis outline. Have something of a 1,5-2 draft for the break to pick up after the winter break.

July

Please include a timeline of which steps you will take and the order in which those things will be done, in other words, what needs to be done and when.

Why do you want to make it?

Describe your motivation for undertaking this project.

I'm in confusion by the idea of vision / images of the city through virtual representation. Mostly, because I feel that is an image that lacks multiple layers of complex contexts:

Accessibility(concerning disability)

livability (concerning the housing crisis)

affordability(pushing away the inhabitants).

leisureability (queer / underground scenes / festivals / gigs / event)

It is

Using a methodology gives me more freedoms and restrictions.

Who can help you and how?

My peers, ofcourse

The people that want to participate.

The people in Gent during

List the people that could help you realise your project and how they could help you, in other words, the support you hope to receive.

Relation to previous practice

Describe how your research connects to previous projects you have done. Here you can use the descriptions you made during the Methods seminar or make new descriptions.

POINXS / Video essays /

Relation to a larger context

Describe how your project is situated within a larger context of practices or ideas. Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project. For example, if you are researching urban interventions, you might want to research about Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets. Or, if you want to explore the way data is tracked, you might touch upon the politics of data mining by referencing concerns laid out by the Electronic Frontier or highlight theoretical questions raised by Wendy Chun or others. (Keep in mind that we are *not* expecting well formulated conclusions or persuasive arguments in the proposal phase. At this juncture, it's simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon as your research progresses.)
