Proposal-draft

Tentative Title

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

Coexistence of Performativity and Graphic design.

Transformative Time & Space Dimensions

“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.

SPACE - physical & virtual. Terra incognita, to explore. TIME - different rythms.

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;

TOOLS:

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

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

Relation to previous practice

Relation to a larger context

- Minimalism; - Conceptual Art; - Fluxus; - "Instructions" avant gard movement; - Happenings; - Lettrism; - Video and installation art from the 70's;

Meaning practices or ideas that go beyond the scope of your personal work. 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 talk 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.)

Thesis intention

Practical steps

Describe how you will go about conducting your 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 to have some idea of how your project might come together as a whole. References A list of references
