WEEK FIVE
The Library is unlimited and cyclical. If an eternal traveler were to cross it in any direction, after centuries he would see that the same volumes were repeated in the same disorder (which, thus repeated, would be an order: the Order). (Borges)
TODAY
Tell the one Tale
Present your Rule Set
Present three Generative Drawings
Redraw
In three next generation drawings Re-enact the one tale. Consider the recombined and scaled joint sections (16+1 per drawing) as cells. Activate a selection of cells (n=max.5) by redrawing the respective joint sections in an open/expanded state. The cells are chosen according to the jointed tales, to tell the one Tale. A ritual of transformation emerges affecting the entire cell cluster. (Pencil on vellum, 36" x 17" horizontally.) Each of the three drawings carries a name (quality/activity) that is a variation of the one name for the tale. (Arial 12 pt.)
TOMORROW
Rewrite
Fine tune your tale as it is informed by the drawings. Type 250 words Arial 10 pt on 8 1/2" x 11"
Research
Material Memory: Research material memory in the context of 1) Anthropology: In different societies and cultures, matter is modified to mark events over time, to remember. 2) Material science: 'Smart' materials (foam, alloys, fabrics) remember shape and events. Materials store data. 3) Neurology/Psychology: Different models attempt to explain chemical and material processes of memory. Develop an area of interest to be further investigated.
WEDNESDAY
Research
Species diagrams: Analyse a selection of species diagrams (plants, animals) with respect to their mode of reperesentation. How is a creature presented in its species context.
Relate
Draw a simple species diagram relating your jointed tales to the Joint Gene Pool.
Species:
1) Taxonomic group whose members can interbreed
2) A single, distinct class of living creature with features that distinguish it from others.
THURSDAY
Present Jointed Tale Drawings (second drawing set of Project Two)
