SECOND YEAR:

In my research (theoretical and practical) I derive from my previously established practice of improvisation in a variety of mediums (sound, text, interactive, visual ...).

My theoretical field of interest is the friction between structure/composition/form/system(s) and improvisation/flow/subconscious/collective/chaos.

I am intrigued by the constitution of the world, the structures that we are a part of (as subjects/bodies in a mediated environment of sociality), I wish to understand this better and juxtapose the world as I experience it with the practice of disobedience to its chains: improvisation. I consider improvisation a domain where the liminalities between structure/composition and flow/improvisation are explored. Habitual behavior and social contracts are questioned and challenged.

I will theoretically explore the notions of: tool, script, protocol, habitus, normalisation, rhizome, intra-action, structure, power, improvisation, composition, daoism, cybernetics, ...

Here is a list of my references, and here is my research log (annotations).

In my practice of "hacking the human mind/habitus", I will constitute strategies that (done with devotion and over time) overcome the implicit indoctrination into the systems that produce us, enhance intuition, sensibility and awareness, explore subconscious modes of operation, empower, enable choice ... I wish to be propositional, to provide options to existence - not only to myself, but also to my kins, collaborators and the public.

Practically (formats, mediums, ideas): I want to facilitate workshops and other forms of interactive situations (such as sound walks), or this and this, continue performing in the field of sound improvisation; write and compose ([ scripts/compositions/exercises] for humans in flow), build machines that help me think this one for example. A system for the archivation of my research and practice will also be constructed "on the go", its final form will most possibly be a website. My research strategies are outlined here.

...

Dramaturgy of thought (possible chapters):

  • The conception of a tool, the externalization of human intent
  • Structure as something that is not human-made, but organically grown (Deleuze'n'Guattari), also ritual, composition, notation.
  • Hegemonic control over human bodies (Foucault, Mann)
  • Industrial revolution: influence of machines/technology on human bodies and mind (Franklin)
  • Contemporary effects (dopamine, illusion, matrix, disembodiment, attention economy)
  • Strategies of interrupting the scripting, normalisation, disobedience/opposition/return to the instinctive, sensible, ... (practice+Stanislavski)
