DAY 9:

MUSEUM OF HUNTING AND NATURE:

Why did we go here?

What is a wunderkammer/wondercabinet?

What is the difference between a rock, a dead plant, a live plant, a dead animal, a live animal?

How is taxidermy similar to and different than 3D printing?

What is alchemy? What is a homunculus?
{Jan Svankmajer's "Faust" and "alice" stop motion animations.}

What is Renaissance humanism and the Enlightenment?

What is modernism?

What aspects of the world get lost with humanism and modernism?

(cf: Bruno Latour's _We Have Never Been Modern_)

Rather than incorporating robots in your art, how might you incorporate animals in your art?

=========================

Zahedi (installation in the bath house):

How was the installation site-specific?

What do you think were the main themes of the installation?

Did the installation seem like a kind of museum? How/why?
{glass vitrines}

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it" (Picasso). Describe how her work "filled" this particular space.

How would the show have been different were it in downtown Paris rather than out in the 18th Arrondissement?

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

FLANEUR DERIVE (drift):

How is drifting like hunting?

Did the museum visit influence your drift? How?

Any experiences you would like to share?

Some differences between the Psychogeography drift and this drift?

Did anyone simply have a normal time? (That's OK.)
