Proposal-draft

Tentative Title

in one sentence: A series of choreographic pieces, which reflect different rhythms of enactment in both digital and physical surfaces.

A general introduction laying out your plan for your final project.

The idea is to follow a research and series of experiments on Objects (in) Motion (in) Space (in) Time.

- OBJECTS - bodies.

- SPACE - physical & virtual.

- TIME - different rythms.

Transformative Time & Space Dimensions. - temporally present, spatially present - quality of Performance (ephemeral) and its Effects (extended).

"Deleuzian terms as capacity to transform situation, I think it’s more than appropriate to present the ideas of theatre historian - Erika Fisher‑Lichte. She writes about the Performative turn of the 1960’s and breaks down this phenomenon into its components to explore its transformative and interactive powers. She explains that live performance is shaped by interaction between performer and spectator, where anything can happen."Fisher‑Lichte, E. (2008), The Transformative Power of Performance: A New Aesthetics, UK: Routledge, p136

"Nothing ever exists outside of the power and power is always relation. She wrote about identity which is a process of construction, a consequence of historical and behavioral norms within larger social contexts."Butler, J. (1990), Gender Trouble, UK: Routledge

"Constantly re‑ inventing, bringing ideas and actions together, contributing to the being‑ together web of relations; to Deleuzian assamblage. Deleuze’s interest can be found in bodily capacity to make us think of the unthought. Moreover bodies have active power to affect and also passive power to be affected." Deleuze, G. (1989), Cinema 2: The Time‑Image, USA: University of Minnesota Press

WHY?

relevant (speculative realism / accelerationism / anthropocene / extreme capitalism) - ethics

embodiment / consciousness / awareness - ideology (phenomenology)

personal (design and performance)

In the end, I hope to understand for my future practice how to best incorporate the coexistence of Performativity and Graphic design.

concepts:

“performativity is derived, of course, from ‘perform’, the usual verb with the noun ‘action’: it indicates that the issuing of the utterance is the performance of an action – it is not normally thought of as just saying something.” — Austin, J. L. (1975), How to do things with Words, UK: Harvard University press, 2nd edition, p6-7 *2 Derrida, J. (1977), Signature

/ experience - perception - phenomenology /

\ ChoreoGraphy / - writing movement, HOW? (go to first prototyping experiments)

/ Composition (mapping/ placing - accessiblitiy) / Chance (randomness) /

/ Action / Eventness /

“For Massumi, affect is precisely a matter of how intensities come together, move each other, and transform and translate under and beyond meaning, semantics and fixed systems/cognitions. Part of the assumption here is that, even in the most reactionay circumstances, nothing happens if affective intensity has not already paid us a visit. This refines our understanding of why territory - spatial and temporal - is always “existential territory“. It has as much a territorry that enables movement as something that keeps everything in its place, it is movement itself.” Reading / Feeling - If I Can’t Dance Archives.

Relation to previous practice

What happens if Performance and Communication Design collide?

Relation to a larger context

- Minimalism;

- Conceptual Art;

- Fluxus;

- "Instructions" avant gard movement;

- Happenings;

- Lettrism;

- Video and installation art from the 70's;

Thesis intention

Practical steps

Method

1. First Prototyping Experiments:

1.1 Geometry : coordenation of visual elements - graphics.

1.2 Language - type;

1.3 Moving Images;

1.4 Sound;

1.5 Performance;

1.6 Scenography;

_______________________

> web - experiences that makes more tangible the notion of time. ANTI- performance? negative of performance (stop/pause)

2. Theoretical research:

2.1 time history/ different conceptions;

2.2 virtual space (s) / cyborgs;

3. How to organize and display the outcome? - hybrid publishing / Print & Digital.

TOOLS:

- web desinginig; programming languages; computational creativity tools; other software.

- also considering: (moving) images - type/graphics; sound; multimedia installation; performance.

A list of references

(Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed. These are starting points which should lead to more substantial texts and practices.) As with your previous essays, the references need to be formatted according to the Harvard method.) See: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/A_Guide_to_Essay_Writing#The_Harvard_System_of_referencing
