Introduction

(...)

I have always felt there to be an inherent connection between Magic and Art..

So I am asking the question(s):

(...)

XPUB1 in retrospect...

(...) begs the question: What is Magic, in the first place?

This is a question that I ask within my Thesis. Or at least, attempt to grasp from a variety o perspective.

Ultimately, I believe Magic can mean many different things and present itself in a variety of ways/experiences/forms..

Let's retrospectively,

There is Magic in the collective act of creation and I think the jam session performances of that night reflected that..

Understanding and overcoming limitations as a form of Magic based in knowledge and navigating systems.

In some ways I see divination as a form of manifestation (...).

Radical hopefulness as an action against the pessimism bred through the current capitalist system. (...) You need hope and a vision of a better future to make it happen.

Alternative forms of divination:

Omens from the Dog Park

Although I have not been keeping up with the project in recent months, I have continued my search for omens and little moments of Magic on my dog walks.

Focus

Graduation Project

(...)

What lays at the intersection of Art and Magic, and how can it serve as a ground for forming

novel and idiosyncratic Magic practices through creative expression?

Protocols for Magic

(...)

Project

• Intro how are the Protocols for Magic “activated”? presented? etc? (in the publication and outside)
• Feedback -> What are the criteria?? Connected to how I evaluate it in ch.3.
• Specify audience in more detail -> Even narrower! (where? how? do I meet this public f.ex.)
• (…)maintaining anti-capitalist.. approach. -> Does not come up again -> but should be more explicit as a central concern to the project’s design

(...)

Thesis

• Keep the outline as a working document while writing the thesis (like a map)
• Q for outline and proposal -> Who is the public? not specific enough YET (where and how do I meet this audience? some more detail)
• Ch.1.: clarify why I chose 3 working definitions and why these (in the thesis)
• Ch.3.: How will I reflect on the experiments and what are the criteria I will use to reflect on them.
• Clarify what I mean with idiosyncratic Magic practices
• Multiple sources are separated with ; -> (Bellisario, 2025; Author, 2020)
• Ch.3.: Questions -> What are the criteria I use to answer these questions (maybe some I develope through the research process)
