METHODS

Session 1 with Steve Rushton

Reviewing work done so far (workshop and special issue)
Creating pages on our Wiki
Discussing the outcome of the Methods lessons: an annotated reader.

RW&M:

a] Discuss our collective practices of reading and writing
b] What kinds of writing have we done so far?
c] How do we read and write on a day to day basis

Mark: "Taking very small, essential notes - feels resistence towards writing / the need to be comprehensive. Aims for brevity. Keeps list of short 'funny' conceptual sentences out of their context. Reading: online articles, Japanese novelles... Finds it hard to implement reading and writing in his daily practice."

Very helpful structure to write a (short) description of a project:
WHAT > HOW > WHY

notes

Writing (written language) as piece of software. Alphabet as a software that produces human language: "The act of writing emerged when people needed to capture memories."
