Thoughts from December 2021
knowledge (its construction + organization)
- systems of cataloguing/ categorization/ data representation (representionalism, semiotics, limits of language)
- modes of display (as prescribed by discipline or place e.g. museum)
- disruption or intervention through the transdisciplinary
questions of value + capitalism
- how do systems (e.g. capitalism) assign value to (objects, labour, people,) knowledge?
- commodification as a process [reading...Kopytoff's Cultural Biography of Things]
- planned obsolescence and the uses of us [reading...Ahmed's What the Use]
- how are sites of production/ work spaces designed for specific outputs [auditing...Camozzi's SCIE 328]
- what does it mean to scale up? [reading...Tsing's Mushroom at the End of the World Ch3: Some Problems with Scale)
alternate ways of knowing through material/ physical engagement
- embodiment
- performativity [reading... Barad's Posthumanist Performativity]
- beyond human/ multi-species [reading...Haraway]
- proprioception
- touch + haptics (in an analog way)
Thoughts from October 2021
some of the concepts I've been mindmapping (in no particular order)
ecological consciousness + material reconstitution
food materials + composting + ingestion, consumption, digestion
the integration of scientific modes of inquiry with artistic practices
