DAY 7: Noticeable differences between London and Paris so far? =============================== Psychogeograph Derive preparation: Debord/Situationist International background. Haussmann-structured city vs. personal-structured city. Move toward what attracts you. Move away from what repels you. OR proceed according to rules/algorithms OR use another city's map (London, New York, Chicago) to navigate Paris. Don't use google maps until you are ready to return home. Do it solo or with others, depending on your level of comfort. ----------------- DRAGCLOWNS!: What is a curator? What is a cyborg? What is a prosthetic? Where does a human body end? What are clothes? How might one modulate a body? Can media modulate a body? {McLuhan says media extend bodies.} Why ethically might one want to modulate a body? How does modulating a human body modulate overall human societies? Whose body are you allowed to modulate? Why? Did you have any favorite pieces? What was the overall effect of the show? Did it manage to come together as more than a mere sum of its individual parts? ================== Jessi Reaves show (that gallery with two separate rooms, with the star chair and lounge chair): How would it have been different if the assistant had not shown us around? How would it have been different had you seen it yourself individually instead of with our group? How would it have been different had you seen it in downtown Asheville vs. downtown Paris? How would it have been different had we seen it installed in a church (like it was in the black and white pictures)? How would you describe the quality of the materials she used? Lux? Poor? Other? What effect did her use of this quality of materials have on your experience? How was the video on the television set related to the rest of the sculptural work? ======================== Netfllix and Chill (big couch with TV controller and games in the basement): How would it have been different if there were no couch and just the single screen? How would had been different with no couch and multiple screens (each looping an individual video), each with its own set of headphones? Houw would had been different had you encountered it online in a youtube playlist? How would it have been different had it been the first thing we saw in the day rather than the last thing we saw in the day? What videos did you watch? Which ones did you like? Why? {We talked about the interviews with women outside of the club, the Taco Bell influencers, and ANGRY BABY!}
