movement seminar? interesting. Honestly I am getting to old to care about what I look like in such strange situations – I enjoyed it but if this continues I will have to reconsider the course!
The feelings embedded in a work of art can be regarded as the product of an inverse function of the properties of the brain mechanisms that give rise to these feelings: y = f(x). x=f-1(y) Ivar Hagendoorn
I like it, don’t know what it means but I like it …..

Talk – Cameron Sinclair. Open Source Architecture to house the world
Interesting comments: Consider the Open Source Community – don’t believe in utopia as all problems are local so all solutions are local. Advocate, Integrate, Implement
issues of governance but need 10 million ideas and 10 million solutions
what is it – it is adaptable, has potential for evolution, developed by everyone, useful to everyone. How to do it – it needs to participatory, utilised – open source ideal = global real time multi-lingual workspace. Apply standards – proven ideas that are accessible. To be a conduit – to do so without having anybody profit at the expense of someone else.

For the purpose of my MFA personal research and development the documentation of the initial process of the following proposal will be the outcome. This process will continue to inform the project that will culminate into an exhibition between February – April 2010. The initial documentation is intended to examine a process of creating and curating visual art following a free and open source ideology and put this new away of thinking to the test.
Both nationally and internationally it is becoming more commonplace to apply the term Open Source to contemporary art practice. It is thought that this ideological way of working is the way forward in order for the processes used by artists and curators to become more transparent and reveal the creative and cultural processes, which can be often concealed once an exhibition reverts to a more conventional mode of presentation. However artists and curators argue that their art practice already subscribes to a non-hierarchical and open way of working where they engage in a collaborative process sharing their ideas in order to move them forward. It is therefore an ideal time to test this more open type of thinking and working, in order to critique our current frameworks for the production of art and how we present it.

I was invited to take part in a PACT workshop (Promoting art and creative industries collaboration). This imagination.lab was initiated to inform a larger research paper looking at the collaborative partnerships between arts and creative industries. This pilot study, funded by the AHRC, in particular looks at the collaborative technologies used to facilitate synergy between art, creative industries, the community and the academy in ‘creative hubs’. The study investigates the new possibilities for collaboration that CSCW approaches to design would be able to develop.

seminar with Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan
The performance of sculpture is when the work goes beyond the performance of its material and performs within its place. When it starts to have a conversation with its environment, with its surrounding architecture. The objects that are placed together have a narrative that they need to perform.
Jan Verwoert says “As these criteria are applied to sculpture, it becomes a vehicle, through which concepts of ‘relationality’ taken from performance or installation art, can be reformulated.” (more…)
