SWARMING MONDAY: 18.05.2020

SUN RA QUOTES:

"Everybody respected him because he had something different and everybody could hear it and see it, but they couldn't do it" > authenticity (costumes, experience, myth, imaginary)

"In my music I speak about unknown things, impossible things, ancient things, potential things"

"What you say has many meanings. it means only what you understand that it means, but that doesnt limit what it actually means"

"A catalyst changes everything, but remains unchanged"

"you are all instruments, everybody is supposed to be playing his part in this vast artistry of the cosmos"

Experienced next to inexperienced

You can’t have music that doesn’t have ugly in it

For Ra, myth is what poet Jay Wright calls a “mode of knowledge”; it is a “medium to understanding” that is quite closely linked to the grand events of the day.

ON IMAGINATION

Propagating: plant a seed and continue to take it to the next level
Aware of the notion of impossibility: and how it shapes idea's (imagination)
soundscape of quotes and word with different layers of meaning
anatomy of mythos
creating an imaginary vision that is collective
'renaming'

Fiction

isolation vs imagination (space travel)
power of sci-fi
notion of 'ghosts'
epistemological systems in the west as dominant - impossible in a certain mindset and frame
some cultures have other mindsets (instead of the Age of Enlightenment and humanism as central)

> Extracting things from the earth: (colonialism, violence, capitalism)

Session with Aymeric on DUB music (and remix culture)

free culture: - capitalize this free media (platforms)

mediaplatform serving content: - ideologisch projecten

lost of faith

"Others will make money from it"

free culture: for and by the community (Does that really exist?)

dub paradox: -materialisatie van culturele differentatie - ontstaan

internet:

how do you find ways to reprogram yourself: peeling the layers what is given (whats is stake for you and your community)

prepper mindset: critical practice motivated not to be in the last create alternatives network of care

challenge: autonomy infrastructure reflection

> we can try to figure out what to do with these skills and knowlegde how to turn it into sometihng else that circulate in gallery or mediafestival > we can come up with our own platforms? > more precarity and

radical:

building alternatives you can own and maintain

Freedom outside commercial tech gigants

I think thats actually quite a nice thing: Do you want to end up in the 'hall of fame' or want to be mentioned as someone who was at the good side and did super interesting thing

QUEERING DAMAGE WORKSHOP

- how do we approach something? (rethinking how we can do this otherwise) - different types of otherwises: critically thinking about damages

In environmental damage: how do people live with this, instead of trying to fix

- f.e. organisms that flourish from damage

> survival and energy that is enforced after damage is done

QUEERING (verb) -destabilizing > embracing and not fix it! -anti normative approach -queering: what it's supposed to do (not what normative)

-rejecting to normativity: -other logic of causality -entanglement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queering

queer politics: surviving with damage

> transfeminist thinking: taking an object and look at what it does in a work, and imagine an alternative

Damages: damaging for who? -damage to some, but some may flourish -cohabitation?

Reparation versus repair! > closely related terms but diffirent acts and goals: -reparation: fixing what is broken -repair: bring back in old state
