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 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."


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."
