CONTEXTUALISATION - LECTURE 2
Lecture 2 + Seminar - 05.03.25 + 06.03.25
- antagonistic dualisms from Haraway Cyborg Manifesto
- dualisms creating paradoxical relations
- rejects dichotomies between the human, nature and technologies, and highlights the probleatmic use and justificantion of western traditions (patriarchy, colonialism, etc..). these traditions in turn allow for the problematic formations of taxonomies. (Cyborg Manifesto)
- goes beyond carthesian dualism .
- compost-human (instead of post-human)
- searching alternative world-views and new ways to reconfigure our relations to the earth and ALL its inhabitants.
- the chtulucene is abou storytelling and fact telling; it is the patterning of possible worlds and possible times.
- john cage: mushroom book
other notes in relation to thesis
- emphasise the art in public space in all my references. how do these references relate to art in public space. why am I bringing these artworks in here? what is the function?
- discuss the relevance of Haraway’s notion of storytelling in the context of art and public space?
- discuss the relevance of Haraway’s tentacular thinking (examples in your practice, your artwork)
- the more you make in the master project the more you can remove in the thesis (?)
- what am I testing
- random glosssary of language/words for titles
- the importance of insisting
- interactivity: make the interactivity more obvious in the non-human body, man-made body
- practice: topics + methods
- who is the performance for? what is this performance (the production of the art)
- the who: not as important in the exhibition public for me
- how do you exhibit the feeling of the process?
- is the audience a witness, a guest, participant, bystanders? that defines the framework of what the role of the audience is.
- confusion: the confusion is part of getting the understanding of my practice. (Eline’s suggestion) using things like: ‘this will become clearer’, ‘this comes back later’, ‘storytelling is my language to explain this’.
- storytelling ‘levels’: maybe find a different word?
- link artworks more to form (this is where my collage-thinking comes in)
- public space is human-made
- what do I mean by knowledge
- tentacular thinking- divided perception ? perception on different levels?
