Thesis Outline
Draft
What you want the thesis to be about?
Based on the idea of E-Lit (Electronic Literature), I want to deepen into the topic of data collection and create a story-telling device, exploring symbiotic information exchange between "selfs" and "machines". I want to either track and catalogue a real or simulated experience, or create a series of factual stories. How does a graphic visual language can translate this? Throughout analyse the significance of our status quo in the digital world (trans-humanism) and the current shifting ethics in relation to an increasing dependency on technology (algorithms, numbers, data). This could be used to further speculate on future scenarios?
[Steve: this could be a lot more specific. What could it be? Your "hands on practice" needs to be up front! What can you MAKE?]
This can be a platform with multiple hybrid publications, or a single cross-over publication set in a unique digital & physical environment. It can also be seen as a type of story-telling platform, in which data is not neutral but subjective and meaningful.
How it relates to your research at the Piet Zwart so far?
