DAY 12:

Initial impressions of Berlin?

How is it different than Paris? What historical differences might account for these affective differences?

---------------

ALMA ALLORO studio visit:

Initial impressions (of her, of her work)?

Any personal inspirations for your own work and practice (either from what she said, her work, or her practice)?

How were the quilts "new media"?
{associated with animations}

What is the difference between "new media" and "digital art"?

She has said that she likes rigorous initial constraints, and then she is able to work freely within these constraints. How might this apply to your own practice?

She has said she likes to start with a mediocre idea, not a genius idea, because the mediocre idea lets her work out the interesting details in the studio, whereas the genius idea leaves little room for material discovery and exploration. How might this apply to your owm practice?

--------------

Berghain Alpha evening performance:

General impressions of the space itself? The entrance line security? The location of the building in the city?

What were your general impressions of the work itself? What aspects of the performance were most "new media"?

Had Alpha composed the music (rather than just the words), how would it have been different?

What types of entities are able to see humans without being humans themselves?
{aliens, animals, AIs, God(s), angels/demons}

Did you "feel seen" by Alpha?
