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,

SI#25 ✧ Sounds of Marmalade

Sounds of Marmalade(...)

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

SI#26 ✧ A 3DS Zine

(...)

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 (...).

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.

Prior to my prototyping workshop, I asked people to bring a found object to craft with..

Graduation Project

Protocols for Magic

(...)

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?

(Clarify what I mean with idiosyncratic Magic practices)

Thesis

• 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.
• Ch.3.: Questions -> What are the criteria I use to answer these questions (maybe some I develope through the research process)    

(...)

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.)
