great to see you use this space to disseminate ideas and references, thank you!
next wednesday:
– I have a court date wednesday morning at 8:30am, hopefully i will be done around 10:30 but i cannot know for sure. let's meet at 11am next wednesday october 14th.
if for some reason i cannot make it i would like to notify one of you who can in turn let others know, can someone please volunteer a phone number i can contact if need be? mine is on the syllabus
_ DUE next wednesday:
- sound readings & discussion / work sample reviews (video artists etc)
- initial ideas / sketches / for assignment 2 :fiction / subjectivity (what is 'real' what is 'fiction' are they really separate? or do they generate each other?)
- individual reviews: I'd like to get a closer look at your interests and needs for this class, we can allocate time for individual meetings in order to discuss this, sound good?
hopefully we'll have time for all, otherwise I am open to furthering our talks here (blog) or via email

as an overall comment i'd like to address our course narrative to clarify or open up and questions you may have; simply put our course travels this line:
- autobiographical / essay piece:
generating your POV, voice and sense of being in relation to the world (where you stand in-relation to 'reality' and the self / written & visual work, cinecriture as agnes varda would put it)
- fiction / subjectivity:
expanding on your POV, questioning line between what is perceived as 'true' vs. 'fiction,' role imagination plays in building subjectivity, i.e. individual sense of 'reality' in movement vs. the 'official' static version of what is perceived as real (often leading to lack of imagination!) Zizek reading "the night of the world," will be handed out
- process / situation:
the movement in which you traverse space and time through media and subjectivity. (where subjectivity takes-place, ever fleeting, ever-displaced). prepare for installation,
video becomes corpo-real, in situ.
negation / immersion:
the installation itself. here is where we question boundaries, subjectivity, being with-in and with-out in relation to space, materiality, location and temporality
each assignment builds upon the other, becoming more complex. the first assignment was an introduction to where you stand now, moving forward i will expect more and more refined work, let's work together to make this happen.
also: let's continue to work on assignment one till its done proper, this being said, time management is on your side, i am happy to help however possible.
see you then
questions welcome
