Proposal-draft
Tentative Title
A general introduction laying out your plan for your final project.
The idea is to follow a research and series of experiments on Bodies/Objects (in) Movement (in) Space (in) Time.
Transformative Time & Space Dimensions
In the end, I hope to understand for my future practice how to best incorporate the coexistence of Performativity and Graphic design.

“For Massumi, affect is precisely a matter of how intensities come together, move each other, and transform and translate under and beyond meaning, semantics and fixed systems/cognitions. Part of the assumption here is that, even in the most reactionay circumstances, nothing happens if affective intensity has not already paid us a visit. This refines our understanding of why territory - spatial and temporal - is always “existential territory“. It has as much a territorry that enables movement as something that keeps everything in its place, it is movement itself.” Reading / Feeling - If I Can’t Dance Archives.
SPACE - physical & virtual. Terra incognita, to explore. TIME - different rythms.
Relation to previous practice
What happens if Performance and Communication Design collide?
Relation to a larger context
- Minimalism;
- Conceptual Art;
- Fluxus;
- "Instructions" avant gard movement;
- Happenings;
- Lettrism;
- Video and installation art from the 70's;
Thesis intention
Practical steps
Method
1. First Prototyping Experiments:
1.1 Geometry : coordenation of visual elements - graphics.
1.2 Language - type;
1.3 Moving Images;
1.4 Sound;
1.5 Performance;
1.6 Scenography;
2. Theoretical research:
2.1 time history/ different conceptions;
2.2 virtual space (s);
3. How to organize and display the outcome? - hybrid publishing / Print & Digital.
TOOLS:
- web desinginig; programming languages; computational creativity tools; other software.
- also considering: (moving) images - type/graphics; sound; multimedia installation; performance.
A list of references
(Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed. These are starting points which should lead to more substantial texts and practices.) As with your previous essays, the references need to be formatted according to the Harvard method.) See: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/A_Guide_to_Essay_Writing#The_Harvard_System_of_referencing
