With grgr, we built a vernacular-improv-coffee-brewing-tower. Also grgr made a wiki for the crunchy project!!! We read <Wonder> from Dear Science together, thinking of flying cheekbones, crunchy projects and multifarious textures and hues. Later joined by Jian, Suzzana and Aglaia.

individual tutorial with Michael

kimchi making with Jian / her thoughts on awkward-clumsy tools which make you think

The crunchy sounds of cabbages(rubbing cabbage with your hands) are like the sound when you step into the fresh snow.
Barcode / the clumsiness and awkwardness in tools and making your own circuits. 지안이 보여준 프로토타입에서 케이블들을 본인의 손으로 이어, 서킷을 잇는 그 제스처, 그 어색함이 일으키는 어어..? 이게 지금 무슨 일이지? 새로운 시선, 새로운 경험, 다른 방식으로 접근하게 되는 것. 갑자기 나의 몸이 전도체가 되고, 어떤 개념 (예컨대 전류의 흐름)이 체화되어서, embodied experience되는 것.

breakfast club #15 (15-feb-2023)

This time, we collaborated with PZI-Archipelago team. This session was open for all masters and a lot of ppl showed up, which was super super nice. I met a lot of people from lens-based and also a few people from fine arts. There was an interesting conversation on the budget cut, since the number of Fine Art students is also only 6. Maybe it would be nice to reach out to them and find ways to help each other.

First group meeting: Making decision on the date / location for the grad show
