Choices...

For my workshop I have chosen Art Direction, which involves thinking about layout (documentatition?!) and also using new media: books, video, digital prints...This is a little risky ! As I am not so in the know on the digital/ new media, but I think this could be a whole new step up on the experimenting...

I am still going to be thinking in a textile way; something interesting I read/heard about in my Contextualising Practice lecture on Narrative: Word and Image really came to mind as I have been thinking about sequences and narratives as a way as exploring my concept...

'HOW FAR CAN WE PUSH CONVENTIONAL CODES TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER?'

If I think in terms of BOOKS

'TEXTS AND TEXTILES

- CONNECTIONS IN THEIR SPELLINGS

-INTERLACING OF SEVERAL STRANDS

-STRINGING TOGETHER, DEFINING THE CONTINUAL LINEAR OF THE SELF'

If thinking about NEW MEDIA/INSTALLATION

'LOOKING AND READING

-FORMER; OPENNESS OF INTERPRETATION AND FREEDOM OF MENTAL AND SENSUAL MOVEMENT

-LATER CONFINES THE READER TO A PREDETERMINED OUTCOME, A ROUTE CONSTRUCTED FROM A HORIZONTAL ROW OF LETTERS.'

STUDIO SMACK

-Blocked out everything that wasn't graphic, making sense of a city...

BY THE WAY

-photographic zigzag book, documenting a car journey, shot from the window of a car in real time...

I think and hope my lectures are going to give me some new inspiration and assist my practical work very well...
