On maps and metaphors

Description(s) of the world(s) might always also bring about a map, and or some sort of metaphor, to relate the comprehention to something otherwise known. It is also a question of scale, and the comprehention(s) of scale(s)... In the BAS library you could find the following books: "City Metaphors" by O.M. Ungers and "The Manhattan Transcripts" by Bernard Tschumi. (you should try to get them up to the studio...) if not, here is alink to the introductory text from Ungers and a complete scann of the "transcripts" here.Download for further studies...

On observing closely

"The Perfect Human" is a (now cult)short film by danish film director Jørgen Leth from 1967. It is a sublime demonstration of what simple observation can be, and how difficult it is to watch something apparently without "meaning" or "message"… It constitutes an intricate piece of condensed body-space morphology… Enjoy the aesthetic (is it just that ?) "distraction".

Phase 02 // DALE space(s) & reference collection

Fields of Indeterminacy: Toshi Ichiyanagi’s Fluxus Scores

OK. then.  again. now. to. phase.  two. 

Please read the brief below carefully and proceed accordingly. Remember to manufacture models of Dale spaces - i.e small precise, in scale, yet subjective models, (pocket models, and larger ones). But forst and foremost READ the brief below.. Also attached is the learning outcome for the semester and the course.... This is mostly a general reminder, if you are wondering what the course is about. (seems nitty-grytty and it is...) The workload is precisely dosaged, yet manageable: if you work each day with curiosity and playful, loving intererst, you will both learn new stuff (if you also read the texts from the reading list) and manufacture amazing personal projects. 

Here is the brief for phase 02 - click on image to enlarge then print or download.

Below is the course learning outcome description.

OK. then. thanks: most delivered (some) revisions of the chilhood space(s) booklets with supplements on time. Remember to carefully read any brief comming during this semester.

Work on monday // chilhood space(s)

Thank you for the work on your childhood space(s). As agreed on Friday at the reviews, we suggested that you could supplement the work(s) with more precise textual description(s) of the spaces involved. Below is the brief for work on Monday.

On Monday, the brief for work(s) until the reviews at the end of January will be posted. Remember also (some) of the "rules" from John Cage: make work enjoyable.

phase 01 // childhood space(s) reviews

Thank you for work during phase 01 and the presentations of your childhood space(s) on Friday. Inspiring and at times fine, thought provoking material to start discussions about the many, open and very varied, conditions for habitation(s) and ways to inhabit space(s).

Some pics from work during the week and the review, on the link here. 

More precise instructions on the nature of the supplementing work to be done on Monday (for all) on the childhood space(s) on the next blog post.
