INCORPORATE THIS: I would propose in my project proposal to experiment with developing a method to make an infrastructure for countermapping / anti-campaigning by showing (human) complications and miscalculations as a reaction towards the renders, city marketing and planning, would that make sense, or would I have need to do experimenting NOW and be sure from moment and just start making something of an essay?
°°°°°CLEANING OUT THIS PAGE°°°°°
What do you want to make?
I want to
experiment with developing a method to
make an infrastructure for countermapping / anti-campaigning
by showing (human) complications, tensions and miscalculations as a reaction towards the renders, city marketing and planning
with stories and anecdotes I collected and search for ways of developing a platform.
How do you plan to make it?
Through organizing a set of sessions that could be comparable to the colloquium where I gave my
"Search for examples of city planning / marketing / maintenance of the city/village/township where you are from*"
collect img / promises / memories
then.......
ask yourself / eachother "how does -location- relate to you as the inhabitant*?"
aaand thennn
ask yourself / eachother "how do you relate to -location-?"
free interpretation ofcourse, whatever feels the most comfortable
Using drawings as an alternative to the hollow representation that 'shape' Rotterdam.
I am searching for a right way to visualize the tensions. The human touch as reminder of the (in)humane complications.
Describe how you will go about developing your project and research through reading, writing and practice. In other words, through a combination of these approaches, you will explore questions or interests you have laid out in your general introduction. In this section you can help us understand how your project will come together on a practical level and talk about possible outcome(s). Of course, the outcome(s) may change as your research evolves, but it's important at this stage to have some concrete idea of how your project could come together as a whole.
What is your timetable?
Please include a timeline of which steps you will take and the order in which those things will be done, in other words, what needs to be done and when.
Why do you want to make it?
Describe your motivation for undertaking this project.
Who can help you and how?
List the people that could help you realise your project and how they could help you, in other words, the support you hope to receive.
Relation to previous practice
Describe how your research connects to previous projects you have done. Here you can use the descriptions you made during the Methods seminar or make new descriptions.
Relation to a larger context
Describe how your project is situated within a larger context of practices or ideas. Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project. For example, if you are researching urban interventions, you might want to research about Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets. Or, if you want to explore the way data is tracked, you might touch upon the politics of data mining by referencing concerns laid out by the Electronic Frontier or highlight theoretical questions raised by Wendy Chun or others. (Keep in mind that we are *not* expecting well formulated conclusions or persuasive arguments in the proposal phase. At this juncture, it's simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon as your research progresses.)
