• talking of laboratory way of working as and with ‘mediators’, cross disciplines
  • meaningful way of working is of mobility and change, to collide, to collaborate, to poke
  • thinking of my own work and how I can adapt to this? – invite people to respond to Home and to change the audio
  • allow audience to install components within space to allow sound to travel where they want

Notes

Jean Fisher – Towards a Metaphysics of Shit

  • Globalisation and its discontents
  • 1996 – M41 – ‘Reclaim the Streets’
  • 1998 – Prague – ‘Global Street Party’
  • ‘grassroots’ protest actions
  • products of global capitablism
  • ‘insidious effects of globalisation that may have prompted these expressions of dissent is a crippling sense of impotence created by the complicity between corporate and state power, in which the welfare and rights of citizenry are sacrificed to economic and political expediency…….’
  • this situation resurrects the old humanist principles and ethics and justice
  • ‘Rather than see globalisation as wholly disheartening I want to ask whether art is capable of imaginatively taking advantage of certain of it’s effects.’

Zombie University book – look at

  • origins/values etc hinders mobility
  • fixated on levers rather than flow of waves – no beginning – no end (into the wave)
  • Britishness, ‘The Good Immigrant’
  • no committment
  • think of degree show – in flux – think of as a travelling space – not a white cube
  • sensory aggregates
  • liquid way of walking
  • echo or resistance rather than theme – soft approach rather than top heavy down show
  • Mediators – ‘Creations all about mediators‘
  • to make art – need aggregates to allow formation – initiate series
  • minority discourse – legending
  • as soon as you falsify establishment – start to prod – then truth reveals
  • look for ‘Fellow travellers’RAQS Media Collective, called “To Culture: Curation as an Active Verb”
