In last week’s Thursday class I introduced some ideas from some theorists who think about the world as precarious, changing and indeterminate. What I would like you to think about as you draw closer to the end of task four is how your way of noticing might allow you to see some of the complexities of the world. This is the final aim of the studio so it’s important for you to reflect on this on your blogs.
Here are some questions which we’ll talk about in today’s class that might give you some direction:
How might your project evolve in concert with the dynamic environment around you? (Gibson, Changescapes)
What do you think “patchy landscapes,” “multiple temporalities” and “shifting assemblages of humans and nonhumans” might mean? (Tsing, Mushroom at the End of the World)
Does what you’re doing for task four allow you to look around rather than ahead? (Tsing, Mushroom at the End of the World)
Will your task four allow you notice neglected things? What do you think they might be? (Tsing, Mushroom at the End of the World)
If your task four, is about inhabiting a space or noticing in a particular environment, what are the particular qualities of that environment you come to be aware of through simply being there? (Stewart, Atmospheric Attunements)
What will you be tuning into through the making of your project? (Pickering, The Mangle of Practice)
If you tune into something unexpected does your project have the flexibility to adjust? (Pickering, The Mangle of Practice)
