METHODS

Session 1 with Steve Rushton

-Reviewing work done so far (workshop and special issue)
-Creating pages on our Wiki
-Discussing the outcome of the Methods lessons: an annotated readerm
-Writing, reviewing, editing exercise: Write a 150 word text about two previous pieces of work, regarding the what, how and why

RW&M:

• a] Discuss our collective practices of reading and writing
  
• b] What kinds of writing have we done so far?
  
• c] How do we read and write on a day to day basis
  

Mark: "Taking very small, essential notes. Feels resistence towards writing because the need to be comprehensive. Aims for brevity. Keeps list of short 'funny' conceptual sentences out of their context. Reads online articles, Japanese novelles... Finds it hard to implement reading and writing in his daily practice."

Very helpful structure to write a (short) description of a project: WHAT > HOW > WHY

notes

Interface: Writing (written language) as piece of software. Alphabet as a software that produces human language. "The act of writing emerged when people needed to capture memories."

Great place to get texts
