METHODS

Reading, Writing and Research Methodologies with Steve Rushton

Introduction

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 because the need to be comprehensive. Aims for brevity. Keeps list of short 'funny' conceptual sentences out of their context. Reads online articles, Japanese novelles... Finds it hard to implement reading and writing in his daily practice."

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

READ (SO FAR)

• What is the writer proposing?
• What do they conclude?
• How is this relevant to my research and work?

Press Pause: The history of Pause Tape Production - Gino Sorcinelli

A good pause button and a vivid imagination were all young hip-hop enthusiasts needed to create something out of their sense of wonder. Using a boombox or stereo with dual cassette decks, aspiring DJs and producers would play and record a sample from another tape or record, pausing the tape once the sample had finished its rotation. They would then rewind to the beginning of the sample and un-pause the tape, starting the process again and extending the sampled loop for several minutes.

notes

Interface: 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."
